  • Childhood Development and Behavior, An Issue of Pediatric Clinics of North America

    • Volume 63-5

    Pediatricians care for children and families from all walks of life. Some are children known from neighborhoods. Others are children from distant lands. Pediatric focus does not stop with the physical care of children but extends to include their mental and social-emotional health and concern about their families. Pediatricians care about how children are doing at home, at school, and in their communities. In this era, children and their families are impacted by social and political changes in their homes (social media and screen time), in their communities (refugee populations and children requiring palliative supports at school), in their health care networks (EMR in every tertiary pediatric center), and in the larger world (multiple military deployments of fathers and mothers). This issue explores the impact of contemporary public health challenges for pediatric care, promising models for caring for chronically ill children, and state of the art therapies for complex childhood conditions.

Les techniques, choisies pour leur efficacité, sont illustrées par près de 400 photographies du patient en situation, selon une séquence rigoureuse et pédagogique : – repérage précis des structures osseuses à mobiliser, – positions du praticien et du patient, – positionnement des mains, – mise en place des paramètres de réduction, – réduction. La multiplicité des angles de vue, les tests de diagnostic étoffés, ainsi que les conseils et astuces, permettent d'aboutir à un geste efficace (avec ou sans impulsion). De par son nouveau format et sa nouvelle présentation, la lecture de cette réédition de l’Atlas de techniques articulaires ostéopathiques est plus fluide. Les photos et leurs explications sont ainsi mises en valeur, permettant d’accéder à l’information recherchée plus rapidement. Les auteurs s’adressent aussi bien aux professionnels soucieux de posséder un manuel de référence pour leur pratique quotidienne, ostéopathes, kinésithérapeutes, praticiens en médecine manuelle, qu’aux étudiants de ces disciplines.

  • Guide des technologies de l'imagerie médicale et de la radiothérapie

    Quand la théorie éclaire la pratique

    L’ouvrage de référence pour les manipulateurs La complexité technique, la spécialisation et l’émergence de nouveaux champs de compétences créent un important besoin d’apprentissage et de formation pour les manipulateurs d’électroradiologie médicale (MERM). Cet ouvrage leur propose ainsi le premier livre de référence complet sur les technologies de l’imagerie médicale et de la radiothérapie. Il est désormais reconnu par tous comme indispensable. Toutes les techniques y sont abordées (radiologie de projection, échographie, TDM, IRM). Pour chacune, les auteurs développent : les bases physiques et technologiques, les principes d’acquisition, les produits de contraste, le problème des artéfacts et les critères de qualité. La radiothérapie externe, la médecine nucléaire et la radioprotection font l’objet de développements spécifiques. Remarquablement pédagogique, cet ouvrage offre la possibilité d’une lecture à deux niveaux : - rapide, uniquement sur des éléments essentiels (grâce aux encadrés, aux synthèses, aux tableaux et à la mise en évidence des mots clés mis en gras) ; - plus approfondie, sur des notions plus complexes (grâce à des développements « pour aller plus loin », toujours accompagnés d’exemples pour mieux comprendre). Une centaine de figures nouvelles, dont un grand nombre de dessins particulièrement didactiques, illustrent le propos. Cet ouvrage est indispensable pour tous les étudiants MERM (DE et DTS), tout au long de leurs trois années de formation initiale. Cette seconde édition, entièrement révisée, correspond totalement au niveau de connaissances exigé par le référentiel de formation. Les professionnels en activité y trouveront également les fondements à connaître, soit pour entreprendre une spécialisation ou un changement de spécialité, soit pour actualiser les connaissances, en marge de leur exercice professionnel, dans l’esprit du décloisonnement. Jean-Philippe Dillenseger, Elisabeth Moerschel et Claudine Zorn sont enseignants en imagerie médicale et radiologie thérapeutique au lycée Jean-Rostand de Strasbourg

    Benign prostatic hyperplasia and the resulting lower urinary tract symptoms is a major part of almost any urologist’s clinical practice. Due to the high prevalence of the disease in our aging population, new concepts and treatments are constantly entering the marketplace. Differences in patient preferences and desired outcomes require the practicing urologist to understand not only the pathophysiology of the disease but how specific treatments may be better suited for some patients and not others. This issue will address the current concepts and treatments available to urologists.

    Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a multisystem disease whose symptoms and signs involve the gastrointestinal tract (thus affecting nutritional status), endocrine system, reproductive system and the respiratory tract (nose, sinuses and lungs). Despite new treatments, the median survival for patients with CF is less than optimal, primarily due to complications of obstructive lung disease. Currently there are approximately 60,000-80,000 people worldwide with CF. The clinical manifestations of CF are caused by dysfunction of CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator), a multifunctional cyclic-AMP regulated ion channel protein. Over time, there has been dramatic improvement in CF patient life expectancy, in large part related to earlier diagnosis (newborn screening), better understanding of molecular genetics and underlying pathophysiology, the integrated and highly specialized Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Accredited Care Centers, and development of a wide range of new treatments and therapies, some of which target the basic CFTR defect. This edition of Pediatric Clinics of North America will offer general pediatricians and family physicians, as well as subspecialists, an update of the extraordinary progress made in the understanding and treatment of Cystic Fibrosis.
