    • AFIDTN
    • French
    L'utilisation de nouvelles techniques et thérapies fait sans cesse évoluer les traitements de l'insuffisance rénale, rendant nécessaire une actualisation régulière des soins infirmiers en dialyse, transplantation et néphrologie. La prise en charge de patients de plus en plus âgés et avec des pathologies associées, la durée de vie plus importante des patients dialysés ont également rendu plus complexes ces soins infirmiers. Ce guide de bonnes pratiques fournit toutes les informations indispensables sur les différentes pathologies de l'insuffisance rénale et leurs traitements dans l'optique d'une pratique quotidienne. Après un rappel historique et une présentation de l'état clinique et biologique de l'insuffisant rénal, il développe trois grands axes : - l'hémodialyse, - la dialyse péritonéale, - la transplantation. Cet ouvrage détaille ensuite les actes qui permettront à l'infirmier(e) un accompagnement optimal des patients selon leur profil : aspects diététiques, approche psychologique, sociale et économique, prise en charge en service de pédiatrie... Cette quatrième édition a été profondément actualisée tant du point de vue des protocoles de dialyse et des données cliniques sur le patient hémodialysé que des thérapeutiques d'immunosuppression, des dispositions légales entourant les greffes d'organe ou encore de la diététique du patient hémodialysé ou transplanté.

Advocating the Western medical acupuncture approach (WMA), this science-based compendium provides the trained practitioner with all the latest research on the effectiveness of WMA and its associated mechanisms, techniques, clinical practice and evidence.

Split into seven sections the book begins by establishing the roots of WMA in the Introduction and then progresses on to describe the mechanisms of action in Section 2, including peripheral components of stimulation and evidence from neuroimaging. Sections 3 and 4 cover clinical approaches (eg, superficial needling, electroacupuncture, safety of acupuncture) and techniques related to acupuncture (TENS, laser therapy). Section 5 takes a closer look at the difficulties faced by trials and reviews while Section 6 goes on to showcase 21 clinical uses of WMA, ranging from chronic pain, mental health, obstetrics and primary care to sports medicine, respiratory conditions and neurology. The final reference section contains dermatome/myotome maps, meridian/channel charts and standard international nomenclature.

  • Interventions et thérapies brèves : 10 stratégies concrètes

    Crises et opportunités
    • 2nd Edition
    • Yves Doutrelugne + 4 more
    • French
    Si les thérapies brèves sont une méthode alternative aux approches traditionnelles et permettent une solution rapide pour un certain nombre de troubles psychologiques, elles bouleversent toutefois la relation d'aide dans le domaine psychologique, médical et psychiatrique mais aussi social. C'est pourquoi il est nécessaire d'apporter au thérapeute un éclairage clinique approfondi lui permettant de mieux maîtriser toutes les dimensions de ces thérapies.Par leur approche très pragmatique de ces différentes situations, les auteurs répondent ainsi aux questions que se posent les thérapeutes sur des thèmes aussi variés que les troubles anxieux, la dépression, l'alcoolisme, l'utilisation de la thérapie brève sous contrainte dans un service fermé ou avec des patients psychotiques.Pour cette nouvelle édition, entièrement mise à jour et augmentée, l'accent est mis sur l'apport des thérapies brèves dans les troubles du comportement alimentaires – anorexie, boulimie, vomissements – et dans l'arrêt du tabac. Un chapitre est par ailleurs consacré désormais à la théorie du mimétisme et des neurones miroirs et son intérêt dans la mise en place des thérapies brèves.Cet ouvrage s'adresse ainsi aux psychiatres, psychologues, psychothérapeutes, équipes soignantes et travailleurs sociaux.

Clinicians will learn the most prognostic scoring systems for acute pancreatitis, review the basics for early management of the disease, and see how current practice guidelines have evolved. Advances in radiological imaging when applied to the pancreas have resulted in enhanced staging and improved selection for surgical intervention.

Pancreatic surgery now takes advantage of both minimally invasive approaches and techniques learned from organ transplantation. These latest advances are addressed in this issue by key opinion leaders.

    • English
    The impact of cardiovascular disease on an infant extends from the fetal period to well beyond childhood. Perinatalogists and neonatologists can impact maternal and fetal health through wide range of diagnostic modalities and interventional techniques. For our edition focused on cardiovascular health, we sought to encompass the breadth of knowledge that would be the most relevant for the bed side clinician. Our goal was to assemble contents that would allow a clinician to quickly peruse the journal, and then be prepared to make a medical decision. The interaction between cardiology and perinatology/neonato... includes genetics, diagnostics, interventions, counseling, routine stabilization and day to day care. Ultimately, the goal is to establish the foundation for a healthy adult. For this reason, we have even included chapters on topics that are significant on a day to day basis (such as the proper environment for a newborn) and a long term basis (like the overall neurodevelopmental impact of our interventions). Hopefully, whether in the middle of the night as an emergency reference or during the day as a reliable guide, this edition of Clinics in perinatology will be an important bedside tool for anyone that participates in the care of a patient with perinatal heart disease.
