  • Liver Transplantation, An Issue of Clinics in Liver Disease

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 21-2
    • Roberto J. Firpi
    • English
    Cirrhosis from hepatitis C (HCV) is now the most common indication for liver transplant (LT) in the U.S., but between 2004 and 2013, new LT listings for NASH increased by 170%. Unfortunately, fibrosis progression leading to cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver decompensation continues to occur after transplantation. Once cirrhosis and decompensation are evident, patient survival is poor and repeat LT is considered to improve outcomes. Therefore, the never-ending thirst for new approaches in the management of patients pre- and post-transplant has led to a very promising future in transplantation, thought there is much to learn to achieve better patient outcomes. This issue of Clinics in Liver Disease addresses the core areas to achieve better patient outcomes, with articles devoted to coagulopathy before liver transplant, challenges in renal failure before LT, LT for acute alcoholic hepatitis, LT in the pregnant patient, bariatric surgery and LT,and MELD Scores in prioritization of LT, to name a few. Readers will place a high value on the current state of liver transplantation in this issue.

  • Adolescent Sexuality, An Issue of Pediatric Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 64-2
    • Marianne E. Felice
    • English
    Dr. Felice has put together clinical reviews articles that cover a broad scope of clinical issues that are common among sexually active adolescent patients. Some issues addressed include: HPV Vaccine Update; Treating Dysmenorrhea/Menorrh... New STD Guidelines; Emergency Contraception; Talking to Parents about Teen Sexuality; and Long-acting Reversible Contraception. Most pediatricians feel poorly equipped to address these problems. They are also complicated issues that give the average pediatric clinician pause and often take more time than usually scheduled in a busy practice. By providing practical updated information on these clinical problems, pediatric practitioners can become more comfortable in dealing with these topics. Although many clinicians are not involved with adolescents in the juvenile justice system, Dr. Felice included an article on this so that pediatricians can be more educated and sensitive to the needs of these young people. An article on human trafficking of teens in included with the hope bringing awareness of this issue. Articles in this issue were selected specifically because they directly affect primary pediatric care. For example, an article is included on how to help young people avoid being victims of partner violence rather than an article on sexual abuse and rape because adolescents would be treated in the emergency room and not the pediatrician’s office.

La structure des chapitres – textes aux plans simples et systématiques, tableaux synthétiques – favorise la mémorisation logique.

Cet ouvrage offre une lecture complète de la tête et du tronc : Ostéologie ; Arthrologie ; Myologie ; Appareil fibreux ; Neurologie; Angiologie; Morpho-topographie.

  • Guide pratique d'écho-Doppler vasculaire

    • 1st Edition
    • Anne Long
    • French
    L’écho-Doppler est l’examen d’imagerie effectué en première intention devant une maladie vasculaire. Extrêmement répandu, il n’en demeure pas moins d’un apprentissage délicat. D’une part, le caractère opérateur-dépendant de la technique implique des compétences solides pour la pratique de l’examen ; d’autre part, son interprétation est souvent complexe et requiert d’excellentes bases d’anatomie, d’hémodynamique et une bonne connaissance des maladies vasculaires. Cet ouvrage a pour objectif d’offrir un accès rapide aux connaissances indispensables à la maîtrise de cette technique et à son interprétation. Les deux grands types d’écho-Doppler sont abordés : – périphérique (troncs supra-aortiques, transcrânien, membres supérieurs, hémodialyse, aorte abdominale, membres inférieurs) ; – viscéral (artères digestives, réseau porte, artères rénales, greffon rénal). Dans un souci de pédagogie, chaque chapitre suit un plan identique : anatomie, techniques d’explorations, résultats normaux, résultats pathologiques, résultats après gestes de revascularisation les plus fréquents, pièges et limites, l’indispensable dans le compte rendu. Les aspects techniques (réglages, produits de contraste) font l’objet de chapitres dédiés. L’ouvrage est accompagné d’un complément en ligne de 14 vidéos d’écho-Doppler. Ce livre s’adresse aux médecins de toute discipline, et plus largement à tous les « examinateurs » amenés à pratiquer ces examens.
