  • Diététique en pratique médicale courante

    55 fiches repas téléchargeables
    • 2nd Edition
    • Jean-Louis Schlienger
    • French
    La diététique est aujourd’hui, plus que jamais, une branche majeure de la thérapeutique. Confortée par les avancées physiopathologiques, les enquêtes épidémiologiques et les études d’intervention randomisées, la diététique va de pair avec l’arme pharmacologique, dont elle en consolide les actions et permet parfois même d’en différer la mise en œuvre. La diététique a une place privilégiée en prévention primaire, participe du traitement de nombreuses maladies, et en est parfois le traitement exclusif comme dans certaines maladies innées du métabolisme ou de la maladie cœliaque. Cependant, le recours à la diététique est souvent contraint par la lenteur et la difficulté de sa prescription, qui fait appel à des connaissances spécifiques. Ce manuel de diététique a pour objectif de mettre à la portée des médecins et des diététicien(ne)s l’argumentaire et les clefs permettant l’élaboration d’une intervention diététique efficace et pertinente. Des fiches diététiques pour les prescripteurs facilitent l’applicabilité du régime décrit dans chaque situation, qu’il s’agisse de l’équilibre alimentaire, des maladies métaboliques, digestives, cardio-vasculaires, rénales, du cancer ou des intolérances alimentaires et des allergies.

Les malformations vasculaires de la moelle épinière sont ensuite passées en revue. Enfin, versant en plein essor de la pratique radiologique, la radiologie interventionnelle est abordée de manière critique dans ses indications les plus fréquentes.Pour chaque pathologie, les auteurs s’attachent à un rappel de la présentation clinique, des données physiopathologiques, insistent sur la sémiologie fine et les diagnostics différentiels en imagerie, intègrent cette imagerie dans la démarche thérapeutique et fournissent des recommandations techniques.De nouveaux auteurs rejoignent une équipe déjà très étoffée pour proposer un nouvel ouvrage entièrement revisité.

Written by the American Society for Pain Management Nursing (the primary nursing organization in pain management), this easy-to-read text covers the entire scope of pain management in a very user-friendly outline format. This new edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest standards and scope of practice put forth by the ASPMN. Yet, it still retains its strong nursing focus as it explores the nurse’s role as a patient advocate in pain management and how that role changes from a Registered Nurse to a Clinical Nurse Specialist to a Nurse Practitioner. Both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic methods of pain management are discussed, as is a wide variety of patient subsets beyond the traditional pediatric, adult, and geriatric patient. If you’re looking to pass the ASPMN credentialing exam and work successfully with all types of patients in pain, then this is the perfect text for you!
