    • French
    Le Traité de la Société Française de Cardiologie « Cardiologie et maladies vasculaires » rend compte des progrès considérables de la prise en charge des affections cardiovasculaires au cours des dernières an-nées. Sa préparation a nécessité une synthèse actualisée de chacun des domaines de cette discipline particulièrement riche en évolutions tant en physiopathologie, en explorations qu’en traitements pharmaco-logiques, interventionnels et chirurgicaux. La première de ces évolutions tient aux progrès techniques. En dix ans, chacun des domaines de la cardio-logie a vu ses méthodes diagnostiques et thérapeutiques faire des pas gigantesques. L’imagerie de coupe scanner et IRM, le strain en échocardiographie, les holters implantables, la cartographie en électrophysiolo-gie endocavitaire, la FFR, les stents coronaires de nouvelle génération, les endoprothèses vasculaires, l’ap-proche interventionnelle neuro-vasculaire, les endoprothèses valvulaires percutanées, les anticoagulants oraux directs, les inhibiteurs plaquettaires de nouvelle génération sont entrés dans la pratique quotidienne. La seconde grande évolution concerne les stratégies de recours à ces explorations et ces traitements, dont témoigne la vitesse de renouvellement des recommandations de la Société européenne de cardiologie, en-dossées en aval par la Société française de cardiologie. Toutes ont changé. On n’explore et on ne traite plus de la même manière la maladie coronaire, la plupart des arythmies, les atteintes cardiaques des affections médicales, l’insuffisance cardiaque, l’hypertension artérielle. Ce sont tous ces changements qui sont à l’origine de la parution de « Cardiologie et maladies vasculaires », le Traité de cardiologie et de Maladies vasculaires de la Société française de cardiologie. Ce traité est présenté sous une forme combinée, couplant un ouvrage exhaustif publié sous forme numé-rique complété de suppléments iconographiques et de vidéos, et une version papier principalement focali-sée sur les aspects thérapeutiques et novateurs.

  • Diététique en pratique médicale courante

    • 3rd Edition
    • Jean-Louis Schlienger
    • French
    La diététique a de tout temps été l’une des branches majeures de la médecine. Confortée par les avancées physiopathologiques, les enquêtes épidémiologiques et les études d’intervention randomisées, la diététique participe à la thérapeutique, avec la pharmacologie dont elle consolide les actions et permet parfois d’en différer la mise en oeuvre. La diététique a un rôle en prévention primaire, elle participe du traitement de nombreuses maladies et constitue parfois le traitement exclusif comme dans certaines maladies innées du métabolisme ou la maladie coeliaque. Cependant, le recours à la prescription diététique est souvent lent et complexe en ce qu’elle fait référence à un savoir-faire reposant sur la maîtrise de connaissances spécifiques. Cette troisième édition, actualisée et enrichie, fait également le point sur, notamment : les aliments ultra-transformés, les additifs, les procédés culinaires (à risque et favorables), les modèles alimentaires et la dimension éthique dans l’alimentation ; les nouveaux objectifs du PNNS, l’état nutritionnel de la population française et le végétarisme ; les complications et les carences nutritionnelles après une chirurgie bariatrique ; la stéatose et la stéatohépatite non alcoolique ; le jeûne thérapeutique et les régimes hypotoxiques. Ce manuel donne ainsi aux médecins et aux diététicien(ne)s les clefs pour élaborer une intervention diététique efficace et pertinente. Des fiches diététiques pour les prescripteurs facilitent également l’applicabilité du régime décrit dans chaque situation : équilibre alimentaire, maladies métaboliques, digestives, cardiovasculaires ou rénales, cancers ou intolérances alimentaires, etc.

  • Evaluer les troubles du spectre de l'autisme

    Le guide du clinicien

    • Sam Goldstein + 3 more
    • French
    La communauté médicale s’accorde sur la nécessité de poser un diagnostic précis et précoce des troubles du spectre de l’autisme, sur l’importance de mesurer les habiletés et capacités de chaque personne et de disposer d’une évaluation individualisée pour la prise en charge la plus adaptée et le suivi de chaque patient, tant les troubles du spectre de l’autisme peuvent différer d’une personne à l’autre et évoluer selon l’âge. L’ouvrage Évaluer les troubles du spectre de l’autisme constitue en cela une référence à la fois théorique et clinique pour l’évaluation exhaustive du trouble du spectre de l’autisme (TSA) et les différents aspects du fonctionnement, y compris chez le nourrisson ou le très jeune enfant, que ces aspects soient liés à l’âge, au comportement social, au discours, langage et communication, au fonctionnement intellectuel et neuropsychologique, aux affections psychiatriques comorbides ou qu’ils impactent le fonctionnement scolaire. Des études de cas facilitent l’utilisation de ces outils d’évaluation par tous les intervenants de la prise en charge, et l’ouvrage ouvre sur les évolutions à venir dans le domaine de l’évaluation et de la prise en charge. Cet ouvrage de Sam Goldstein (neuropsychologue en pédiatrie et professeur adjoint du département de Psychiatrie de l’université d’Utah) et Sally Ozonoff (psychologue clinicienne et professeur au département de Psychiatrie et Sciences du comportement de l’université de Californie-Davis) est traduit par Marc-Antoine Crocq (médecin psychiatre, centre hospitalier de Rouffach, maison des adolescents du Haut-Rhin, centre d’accueil médico-psychologique de l’Université de Haute-Alsace, Mulhouse) et Alexis Étienne Boehrer (psychologue clinicien, Université de Haute-Alsace).

    • French
    Devant le développement grandissant des rapatriements sanitaires aériens médicalisés, la mise en place d’une médecine spécifique est devenue indispensable. Elle conjugue les améliorations technologiques de la réanimation et de l’anesthésie, la constitution d’une équipe médicale spécialisée et un transport aérien civil ou militaire adapté. Des contraintes particulières telles que les variations de pression dans la cabine en altitude, l’absence de renfort médical possible en vol, un espace confiné et une évaluation paraclinique très limitée à bord caractérisent cette médicalisation d’urgence. Cet ouvrage : - expose le cadre législatif et réglementaire lié au transport aéroporté ; - donne les clés de la prise en charge des pathologies des appareils circulatoire, respiratoire, neurologique et digestif ; - détaille les techniques et ressources nécessaires. Fruit du travail d’experts civils et militaires, ce livre s’adresse à tous les médecins urgentistes, anesthésistes ou réanimateurs et aux soignants impliqués dans le transport aérien médicalisé, ainsi qu’aux médecins désireux de découvrir cette spécialité.
