    L'incontinence urinaire féminine est une pathologie fréquente à l'origine de nombreuses consultations médicales. De très nombreux facteurs favorisants ont été identifiés : surpoids, âge, grossesse et accouchement, obstacle sur les voies urinaires, certains médicaments, maladies neurologiques… Cet ouvrage a ainsi pour ambition d'en dresser un panorama complet, tout en restant volontairement pratique pour permettre un accès rapide à l'information. Il aborde tous les aspects, du diagnostic au traitement. Une première partie décrit les généralités indispensables à maîtriser (anatomie, physiologie, épidémiologie, physiopathologie). La stratégie diagnostique et de prise en charge est ensuite longuement détaillée (consultation, catalogue mictionnel, imagerie, bilan urodynamique...). Les traitements font l'objet de la troisième partie (traitements médicamenteux, rééducation, indications des différentes techniques chirurgicales...). Enfin, les cas particuliers sont également abordés (obésité, ménopause, après cancer...) pour un une approche de la pathologie dans sa totalité. L'équipe d'auteurs est pluridisciplinaire regroupant des gynécologues-obstétr... des urologues, des sages-femmes, des médecins de médecine physique et réadaptation et des kinésithérapeutes, tous experts dans leurs domaines. Cet ouvrage qui se veut didactique, exhaustif et pratique s’adresse aussi bien aux praticiens expérimentés cherchant des précisions, qu’aux internes ayant besoin de parfaire leurs compétences.

    Le bilan neuropsychologique est une démarche raisonnée, s’appuyant sur des modèles scientifiques du fonctionnement cognitif de l’être humain. De ce fait, sa visée est double : établir un diagnostic et mettre en place des prises en charge adaptées. La conduite d’un bilan neuropsychologique chez l’enfant comprend de nombreuses particularités, par rapport à l’adulte. De ce fait, les étapes indispensables au diagnostic sont souvent complexes : identifier les signes d’appel, choisir les tests pertinents, authentifier les troubles, interpréter et croiser les résultats pour tenter de mettre à jour les mécanismes sous-jacents au symptôme. Cet ouvrage offre donc au praticien, en s’appuyant notamment sur l’analyse de cas pratiques cliniques, une analyse des différents tests communément utilisés, ainsi qu’un répertoire de l’éventail des compétences cognitives sollicitées par chaque épreuve, lors de l’évaluation clinique des « dys » (dysphasies, dyspraxies, TDA/H, syndromes dys-exécutifs, dyslexies, dyscalculies…). Cette troisième édition, entièrement mise à jour, comprend :- les dernières évolutions en matière de tests (en particulier, la parution du WISC5) ; - un index des tests permettant d’appréhender l’ouvrage par une lecture transversale. Les professionnels sont ainsi accompagnés dans la démarche diagnostique. Ils disposent d’outils pour analyser les épreuves, dont la connaissance est actuellement indispensable. Ce livre s’adresse à tous les professionnels pouvant être confrontés au diagnostic des anomalies de développement et aux troubles de l’apprentissage chez l’enfant : neuropédiatres, neuropsychologues, psychologues, pédopsychiatres, pédiatres, médecins de rééducation et médecins scolaires. Il pourra également intéresser les rééducateurs (orthophonistes, ergothérapeutes, psychomotriciens) et les pédagogues (enseignants spécialisés), qui, au sein des équipes, participent à l’établissement du diagnostic.
