  • Jubb, Kennedy & Palmer's Pathology of Domestic Animals: 3-Volume Set

    • 6th Edition
    • Grant Maxie
    • English
    The 6th edition of Jubb, Kennedy, and Palmer’s Pathology of Domestic Animals continues the long tradition of this classic set of volumes as the most comprehensive reference book published on the topic of pathology of the common domestic mammals, with emphasis on disease conditions of cattle and small ruminants, swine, horses, dogs and cats. Using a body systems approach, recognized authorities in their fields provide overviews of general characteristics of the system, reactions to insult, and disease conditions broken down by type of infectious or toxic insult affecting the anatomical subdivisions of each body system. Since the publication of the 4th edition in 1993, much has changed. Disease agents, such as Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) type 2, Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), Porcine circovirus 2, Hendra virus, and Leptospira spp., have emerged or further evolved. Molecular-based testing, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in-situ hybridization, have allowed further understanding of pathogenesis of disease, and have greatly furthered our diagnostic capabilities.

  • Art-thérapie et enfance

    Contextes, principes et dispositifs
    • 1st Edition
    • Anne-Marie Dubois + 1 more
    • French
    L'art-thérapie est de plus en plus présente au sein du panel thérapeutique disponible dans les institutions de soins. Elle reste néanmoins représentée de manière marginale et peu étayée dans le champ de la pédopsychiatrie.Cet ouvrage traite de l'utilisation de la médiation graphique et picturale avec l'enfant lorsqu'elle est mise en place sur indication médicale et avec une visée psychothérapeutique. L'application des principes de l'art-thérapie au cadre de la psychothérapie de l'enfant nécessite de prendre en compte les spécificités d'un développement en cours d'évolution. L'ouvrage commence donc, dans une première partie, par l'évocation des phases de maturation de l'enfant et de son dessin. Si l'activité graphique appartient de plain-pied à ce mouvement développemental, son déploiement n'est pas la seule donnée à considérer. Le dispositif art-thérapeutique doit prendre en compte l'environnement et les besoins propres à l'enfant. Des adaptations spécifiques sont en effet nécessaires pour que l'acte de dessiner, qui fait partie de la vie ordinaire de l'enfant, puisse donner lieu corrélativement à un processus de création et à un processus thérapeutique. Art-thérapie et enfance aborde ainsi, dans une deuxième partie, le cadre et le dispositif à mettre en place dans ces psychothérapies à médiation artistique. Cette alliance particulière, entre une pratique artistique et un objectif psychothérapeutique, est enfin illustrée dans la troisième partie de l'ouvrage à travers le récit de trois exemples de parcours de soin.

    • French
    Cet ouvrage propose un outil d'apprentissage unique aux étudiants en ostéopathie, et plus largement à tous les étudiants des filières de thérapies manuelles. Les deux parties – membre supérieur et membre inférieur – sont subdivisées en trois rubriques, ostéologie, arthrologie, myologie, repérables par un code couleur. Chaque palpation est détaillée dans une fiche, constituée de deux pages en vis-à-vis : - à gauche, une photo montre les mains en action, et un picto illustre la position du praticien par rapport au sujet; - à droite, le texte détaille le positionnement des mains, puis l'action pas à pas. Cette synthèse de la gestuelle et du vocabulaire est parfois complétée par des notes pratiques. Ces 163 fiches sont réunies dans un format de poche spiralé, conçu pour une consultation rapide et pratique. Le lecteur pourra ainsi, quel que soit son niveau de connaissances, apprendre, réviser et s'entraîner.
