    Public Health Surveillance (PHS) is of primary importance in this era of emerging health threats like ebola, MERS-CoV, influenza, natural and man-made disasters, and non-communicable diseases. Transforming Public Health Surveillance is a forward-looking, topical, and up-to-date overview of the issues and solutions facing PHS. It describes the realities of the gaps and impediments to efficient and effective PHS, while presenting a vision for its possibilities and promises in the 21st century. The book gives a roadmap to the goal of public health information being available, when it is needed and where it is needed. Led by Professor Scott McNabb, an international team of the top-notch public health experts from academia, government, and non-governmental organizations provides the most complete and current update on this core area of public health practice in a decade in 31 chapters. This includes the key roles PHS plays in achieving the global health security agenda and health equity. The authors provide a global perspective for students and professionals in public health. Five case studies aid the understanding of the context for the lessons of the book, and a comprehensive glossary, questions, bullet points, and learning objectives make this book an excellent tool for the classroom.

  • Taping

    Techniques, effets, applications cliniques
    • 1st Edition
    • Ramin Ilbeygui + 1 more
    • French
    Le taping s'est imposé en France comme une méthode de soin particulièrement efficace et rapide des lésions musculaires, ligamentaires ou tendineuses ainsi que des troubles lymphatiques. Cependant, son utilisation et sa mise en oeuvre nécessitent des connaissances précises ; cet ouvrage détaille ainsi, de manière pédagogique et adaptée, la physiologie du taping et ses différentes applications. L'auteur décrit dans une première partie les principes de bases du taping. Il aborde ensuite les techniques de pose habituelles - techniques musculaires, lymphatiques, ligamentaires et de correction posturale – et y ajoute la description de techniques spécifiques comme les montages sur les cicatrices, les trajets nerveux ou les segments, les techniques de correction des fascias, les techniques agissant sur les trigger points et les techniques énergétiques. Les applications cliniques sont ensuite détaillées dans une troisième partie, aussi bien dans les domaines orthopédiques et chirurgicaux qu'en médecine interne, en gynécologie ou en neurologie. L'ouvrage s'appuie sur plus de 740 photographies pour décrire ces techniques. L'atout majeur de ce guide est le body painting étape par étape : - en se basant sur le célèbre Atlas d'anatomie Sobotta, les structures anatomiques ont été peintes avec une grande précision sur le corps d'un modèle ; - les bandes sont alors appliquées sur ces « structures anatomiques sous-jacentes » ; - des explications pas à pas détaillent enfin chaque étape de cette application, donnant ainsi une vision parfaitement claire et précise de la localisation des bandes. Les vidéos de la version originale sont accessibles en ligne, elles permettent de visualiser la pose des bandes pour assimiler parfaitement ces techniques. Cet ouvrage, véritable guide de référence en langue française sur le sujet, est destiné aux kinésithérapeutes ainsi qu'aux médecins du sport, ostéopathes, préparateurs sportifs et podologues.
