  • Dermatologie. De la clinique à la microscopie

    • 1st Edition
    • Bernard Cribier + 1 more
    • French
    Ce livre présente pour la première fois près de 500 entités ou formes cliniques de maladies cutanées toutes illustrées par la photographie clinique et la microscopie. Il est donc un outil indispensable au pathologiste qui pratique la dermatopathologie : chaque entité est décrite par un texte concis donnant l'ensemble des signes cliniques et microscopiques. Elle est illustrée de façon à appréhender le diagnostic et la corrélation anatomo-clinique. Les dermatologues y trouvent les bases iconographiques et sémantiques pour une prise en charge optimale de leurs patients (diagnostic, compréhension des signes, interprétation des comptes-rendus d'anatomie pathologique et rapports avec les pathologistes). On comprend toujours mieux la dermatologie clinique quand on a l'explication microscopique en regard. Dans cette perspective, ce livre complète idéalement le traité de Dermatologie (Saurat), dont il suit le plan pas à pas.

  • Guide de rééducation vestibulaire

    • 1st Edition
    • Hélène Grenier + 1 more
    • French
    Le vestibule est la partie de l'oreille interne destinée à l'équilibration. La rééducation vestibulaire est de plus en plus prescrite car elle obtient des résultats remarquables dans ses trois champs d'intervention : 1. par des manoeuvres thérapeutiques dans les vertiges positionnels paroxystiques bénins, appelés communément « maladie des cristaux d'oreille », ou VPPB ; 2. par une véritable rééducation à base d'exercices spécifiques dans les névrites vestibulaires et autres déafférentations vestibulaires ; 3. dans la plupart des vertiges, quand le bilan fonctionnel l'indique. Cet ouvrage, rédigé par un spécialiste du traitement des vertiges (J.-P. Sauvage) et par une kinésithérapeute spécialiste en rééducation de patients atteints de pathologies vestibulaires (H. Grenier), est un guide pratique à destination des ORL et des kinésithérapeutes qui ont mission, pour les uns, de diagnostiquer et d'évaluer la pathologie, pour les autres, de la prendre en charge et de la rééduquer. Les auteurs s'attachent à montrer la complémentarité des deux démarches dans une approche résolument pluridisciplinaire. Après quelques rappels anatomiques et physiologiques, les auteurs procèdent à l'étude et à la description des principales pathologies vestibulaires et des pratiques de rééducation associées. Les textes explicatifs sont synthétiques, illustrés par de nombreuses iconographies, des fiches-bilan et des cas cliniques. Un mini-site proposant plus de 30 vidéos en ligne vient consolider l'apport pédagogique de cet ouvrage.

  • Grieve's Modern Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy

    • 4th Edition

    • English
    Since the third edition of Grieve’s Modern Manual Therapy was published in 2005, the original concepts of manipulative therapy have grown to embrace new research-generated knowledge. Expansions in practice have adopted new evidence which include consideration of psychological or social moderators. The original manual therapy or manipulative therapy approaches have transformed into musculoskeletal physiotherapy and this is recognized by the change in title for the new edition – Grieve’s Modern Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy. Grieve’s Modern Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy continues to bring together the latest state-of-the-art research, from both clinical practice and the related basic sciences, which is most relevant to practitioners. The topics addressed and the contributing authors reflect the best and most clinically relevant contemporary work within the field of musculoskeletal physiotherapy. With this as its foundation and a new six-strong editorial team at its helm, the fourth edition now expands its focus from the vertebral column to the entire musculoskeletal system. For the first time both the spine and extremities are covered, capturing the key advances in science and practices relevant to musculoskeletal physiotherapy. The book is divided into five parts containing multiple sections and chapters. The first part looks at advances in the sciences underpinning musculoskeletal physiotherapy practice. Here there is commentary on topics such as movement, the interaction between pain and motor control as well as neuromuscular adaptations to exercise. Applied anatomical structure is covered in addition to the challenges of lifestyle and ageing. A new section highlights the important area of measurement and presents the scope of current and emerging measurements for investigating central and peripheral aspects relating to pain, function and morphological change. Another section discusses some contemporary research approaches such as quantitative and qualitative methods as well as translational research. Part III contains sections on the principles of and broader aspects of management which are applicable to musculoskeletal disorders of both the spine and periphery. Topics include models for management prescription, communication and pain management and contemporary principles of management for the articular, nervous and sensorimotor systems. In recognition of the patient centred and inclusive nature of contemporary musculoskeletal practice, there is also discussion about how physiotherapists may use cognitive behavioural therapies when treating people with chronic musculoskeletal disorders. The final part of the book focuses on selected contemporary issues in clinical practice for a particular region, condition or the most topical approaches to the diagnosis and management of a region. A critical review of the evidence (or developing evidence) for approaches is given and areas for future work are highlighted.

  • Homéopathie en gynécologie

    • 1st Edition
    • Christelle Besnard-Charvet + 1 more
    • French
    Les motifs de consultation en gynécologie sont souvent d'origine fonctionnelle (périodes de déséquilibre hormonal : puberté, syndrome prémenstruel, périménopause, troubles du cycle…) et ne relèvent pas toujours d'un traitement allopathique souvent lourd et iatrogène. Les praticiens sont confrontés au quotidien à une demande croissante des patientes pour les traitements homéopathiques. Cet ouvrage, fruit de l'expérience clinique de deux gynécologues homéopathes, est un guide pratique permettant aux praticiens d'intégrer la thérapeutique homéopathique en gynécologie. Après un premier chapitre sur l'homéopathie et son mode d'emploi, ce livre se présente comme un ouvrage de gynécologie abordant les différentes pathologies et motifs de consultation. Il détaille pour chaque pathologie les indications de prescription (quand et pourquoi choisir les médicaments homéopathiques et comment les prescrire) et les limites de ces traitements. Des encadrés Les Essentiels ont été ajoutés pour les pathologies les plus courantes afin de permettre un accès rapide à l'information. En fin d'ouvrage, un chapitre « Matière médicale » reprend l'origine des médicaments les plus souvent prescrits en gynécologie, en partant de leur indication gynécologique et en rappelant leurs autres indications. Ce guide est conçu à la fois pour les gynécologues et les sages-femmes débutant en homéopathie. Il s'adresse aussi aux homéopathes souhaitant se perfectionner dans le domaine de la gynécologie. Il est le premier ouvrage de référence pour une pratique de l'homéopathie moderne et actualisée dans le domaine de la gynécologie.
