  • Anatomie des organes et viscères

    Tête, cou et tronc
    • 2nd Edition
    • Michel Dufour
    • French
    L’anatomie des viscères est souvent délaissée dans beaucoup de formations paramédicales. Comme le reste de l’anatomie, elle se heurte à une pédagogie descriptive relativement aride, avec une mémorisation basée sur un « par coeur » décourageant vite les bonnes volontés. C’est encore plus vrai pour l’étude des viscères, organes et régions topographiques de la tête, du cou et du tronc auxquels l’étudiant n’est pas préparé. La bonne compréhension de ces structures anatomiques est toutefois indispensable à l’activité quotidienne des kinésithérapeutes. L’objectif de cet ouvrage est donc de prolonger les acquis de l’appareil locomoteur (Anatomie de l’appareil locomoteur : tomes 1, 2 et 3) en abordant les organes et viscères sur le même modèle de présentation avec des tableaux systématisés et synoptiques, chacun étant illustré d’un ou plusieurs schémas explicatifs. Cette structure offre ainsi une lecture complète de la tête, du cou et du tronc : - Organes de la tête - Organes du cou - Organes du thorax - Organes de l’abdomen - Paquets vasculo-nerveux - Régions topographiques L’iconographie originale, tout en couleurs, répond au même souci de clarté, de simplicité et de vision spatiale. L’étudiant pourra donc facilement entrer dans des connaissances dépouillées au maximum de leur complexité sans pour autant tomber dans la vulgarisation, centrées sur l’essentiel et documentées. Le praticien, plus spécialement celui de thérapie manuelle à qui ce travail est destiné, peu familiarisé avec ce domaine, y trouvera un bagage compréhensible et capable de l’orienter dans l’abord de ces régions particulières. Cette nouvelle édition, entièrement actualisée, offre au lecteur une information toujours plus précise et pertinente et une adéquation optimale entre le texte et les figures. La partie auto-évaluation s’est enrichie de chrono-QROC, élaboration originale et unique de réponses organisées en fonction du temps.

  • Maladie d'Alzheimer et troubles de la communication

    • Thierry Rousseau
    • French
    Contrairement aux idées reçues, la communication avec les patients atteints de la maladie d’Alzheimer est possible et essentielle. Cet ouvrage en expose les différents moyens. Ainsi ces troubles de la communication, leur évaluation et leur prise en charge thérapeutique sont au centre de ce livre. Les processus du vieillissement normal et du vieillissement pathologique sont analysés à travers l’hétérogénéité des manifestations symptomatiques, en particulier au niveau de la communication dans les maladies neurodégénératives, et à travers la perte progressive du statut d’individu communicant du malade et de ses conséquences sur son comportement. Un outil d’évaluation des troubles de la communication des malades Alzheimer, basé sur une approche pragmatique et écologique est proposé. Ce dernier tient compte de la complexité des troubles et des influences multifactorielles que subissent les patients. À partir de cette évaluation, la thérapie écosystémique des troubles de la communication est proposée. Conduite par un thérapeute, celle-ci implique la participation de l’entourage familial et professionnel. Cette 2e édition propose une actualisation de l’ensemble des données au regard des avancées scientifiques et thérapeutiques, à l’aide de grilles, échelles et recommandations. Le chapitre sur les thérapies du langage et la communication est particulièrement révisé en y intégrant notamment l’élargissement de la thérapie écosystémique au réseau social. Des compléments en ligne sont également proposés : sept vidéos produites par l’auteur et trois documents à télécharger. Ceux-ci présentent les moyens pour évaluer la communication ; la thérapie écosystémique ; la grille d’évaluation des capacités de communication (GECCO), qui est également téléchargeable et imprimable en ligne, via un lien présent dans l’ouvrage.

    Actualisé et pratique, cet ouvrage très complet est destiné à tous les professionnels de santé convaincus que les mesures diététiques sont indispensables pour obtenir un bon contrôle glycémique et prévenir ainsi à court et à long terme les complications du diabète. Cet ouvrage poursuit 3 objectifs : • Remettre la nutrition à sa vraie place au sein de la thérapeutique du diabète • Faciliter la prescription diététique, qui apparaît souvent trop complexe • Eviter « l’inertie nutritionnelle », qu’elle soit préventive ou curative Pour atteindre ces objectifs, l’ouvrage a été conçu autour des principes suivants : • une mise à jour sur la physiopathologie et les conséquences des états diabétiques ; • une description détaillée, pratique et personnalisée des mesures nutritionnelles en tenant compte de l’âge des patients, de leur poids, de leurs pratiques alimentaires habituelles ou occasionnelles, de la nature de leur diabète, de leurs traitements médicamenteux et de la présence ou non de désordres biologiques ou cliniques associés à leur diabète. Chaque situation clinique fait l’objet d’explications rationnelles et d’exemples pratiques avec, en fin d’ouvrage, des fiches diététiques aisément transposables à la pratique médicale courante. Pour rendre cet ouvrage agréable et pour faciliter l’ « assimilation » de données nutritionnelles parfois « indigestes », les auteurs ont agrémenté leurs textes de figures et de tableaux didactiques. Nous espérons que cet ouvrage apportera une aide précieuse à toutes les personnes concernées par le diabète et sa prise en charge nutritionnelle.
