    En conformité avec le nouveau programme de DFASM (Diplôme de formation approfondie en sciences médicales, BO du 16 mai 2013), cet ouvrage de cours synthétique traite l'ensemble des items d'ORL et de stomatologie du programme de DCEM2-DCEM4/DFASM. Cette deuxième édition reste fidèle à l'esprit de la première édition qui lui a valu son succès : chaque chapitre, consacré à un item, est rédigé suivant un plan identique, original, clair et très didactique qui facilite l'apprentissage. Chaque item comprend les éléments systématiques suivants, mis à jour et enrichis : - les conférences de consensus, d'experts et textes de recommandations existantes ; - des schémas, des algorithmes et de l'iconographie ; - des encadrés sur les notions importantes ; - des repères permettant d'identifier les sujets déjà tombés au concours de l'internat et aux ECN (depuis 15 ans), clairement indiqués en regard du thème tombé avec leur date et un court résumé des annales ; - des renvois transversaux vers les autres items du programme ; - les « zéros » aux questions ; - une « fiche Dernier tour » qui propose un résumé de l'item. Très illustrée, cette 2e édition est entièrement mise à jour sur le plan de l'évolution des données médicales et enrichie de deux chapitres supplémentaires, portant sur l'évaluation de la gravité et la recherche des complications précoces chez un traumatisé crânio-facial (item 330 du nouveau programme de DFASM, item 201 de l'ancien programme), et sur la dysphagie (item 270, item 308). De plus, le traitement du cholestéatome est approfondi dans le chapitre sur les otites chroniques. Enfin, le chapitre sur les tumeurs des voies aérodigestives (item 145) est entièrement revu.

  • Psychiatrie légale et criminologie clinique
    • 1st Edition
    • Jean-Louis Senon + 2 more
    • French
    Depuis toujours, psychiatrie et droit, comme santé et justice sont à la recherche d'un difficile équilibre pour mieux soigner et protéger toute personne souffrant de troubles mentaux. Aussi, avec la naissance de la clinique dans le sillage du Traité médico-philosophique sur l'aliénation mentale de Pinel, les aliénistes ont accordé une place centrale à la clinique médicolégale pour reconnaître le malade au-delà du trouble du comportement, et lui apporter les soins indispensables. Cet ouvrage offre une place particulière à la protection de la personne malade et aux soins sans consentement prévus par la loi du 5 juillet 2011 et réformée en 2013. Dans une première partie de psychiatrie légale, après avoir traité de l'organisation des soins en psychiatrie et de la législation hospitalière, il aborde la responsabilité médicale, le droit des patients, la rédaction des certificats et les différentes formes d'expertise en psychiatrie au niveau pratique. En outre, depuis les années 1980, la pratique des équipes de psychiatrie s'intéresse particulièrement à la clinique du passage à l'acte et à la victimologie. Ainsi, la seconde partie, consacrée à la criminologie clinique, s'applique à définir les notions essentielles du droit pénal, puis les aspects cliniques : agression, dangerosité, violences, homicides, victimologie. Destiné aux psychiatres et aux psychologues, cet ouvrage ne se cantonne pas aux cliniciens ou aux experts et peut être utile à tous les professionnels confrontés à la maltraitance, aux violences conjugales et familiales ou encore aux agressions sexuelles.

    The care of children with acute medical problems is evolving as knowledge of new conditions develops. In addition, technology also changes to provide solutions to optimize care. This issue of PCNA highlights the important populations, disease states, and technological advancements in pediatric emergency medicine. Although concussion and head injury are common occurrences for the practicing pediatrician, we now better understand how to evaluate and manage these children and to use CT scans appropriately. Pediatric offices need to be incorporated in any emergency plan for both acute emergencies and common injuries. Analgesia and sedation must always be considered to provide comfort for children. Technologically assisted children and children with acute psychiatric and behavioral problems are now more commonplace in the Emergency Department as well as the office setting, and the practicing pediatrician needs to have a clear plan in understanding these medical conditions and appropriate management and referral. New drugs of abuse and foreign body ingestions are prevalent and have unique diagnostic and treatment challenges. Skin infections and abscesses have always been common but our knowledge of resistance patterns and best practices for treatment is changing. Finally, whether it is the pediatric office practitioner or the Emergency medicine physician, we need to continue our important efforts in injury prevention for the future of our children.

  • La pratique réflexive

    Un outil de développement des compétences infirmières
    • 1st Edition
    • Armelle Balas Chanel
    • French
    « À un moment de la soirée qui suit un concert […] elle a besoin de s'isoler pour passer mentalement en revue les moindres déroulements de son jeu. […] C'est un peu le système des skieurs de haut niveau avant une course : les yeux fermés, ils mémorisent chaque virage et chaque bosse, chaque pente, et, de leurs deux mains, miment le parcours dangereux qu'ils vont entamer. Clara procède de la même façon mais, si l'on peut dire, après la course. » Clara, la jeune violoniste du roman de Philippe Labro (Frantz et Clara) adopte ainsi une posture réflexive, pour trouver, en revivant mentalement son expérience passée, en quoi elle a contribué à la réussite ou à l'imperfection du concert du jour. Que l'on soit musicien, skieur ou professionnel de la santé, il est souvent nécessaire de revenir sur ses pratiques pour les connaître. Car il ne suffit pas d'avoir vécu un moment professionnel pour savoir ce que l'on a fait et comment on l'a fait, ni quelle logique interne a guidé notre pratique. Une bonne part de notre vécu reste implicite, n'accède pas à notre conscience réfléchie. Quel que soit notre objectif, il est nécessaire de décrire notre pratique, avant de la prendre comme objet de travail. Ce livre propose un outil aux formateurs, une méthode structurée pour accompagner la pratique réflexive des étudiants dans différentes situations pédagogiques : suivi ou retour de stage, accompagnement individuel des apprentissages, analyse d'une pratique sur le terrain ou en formation, séance collective d'aide à l'apprentissage, analyse de pratique collective, etc. Il s'adresse en priorité aux formateurs d'IFSI, mais intéressera également tout formateur souhaitant permettre à des apprenants de construire de la connaissance à partir de leur expérience, ainsi que les cadres désirant accompagner leur équipe (individuellement ou collectivement) dans le développement de leurs compétences. Son originalité tient au fait qu'il ne se contente pas de décrire un processus rigoureux, mais qu'il rend intelligible ce que les protagonistes de la pratique réflexive ont à faire « dans leur tête » et en termes de verbalisation, à chaque étape de ce processus. Vous y trouverez : - une présentation des approches théoriques qui ont permis d'élaborer ce processus ; - la description, étape par étape, d'un processus rigoureux ; - la description de ce que l'Accompagné fait spontanément s'il n'est pas accompagné ou formé ; - la description de ce qui est attendu de lui, à chaque étape ; - les moyens pour l'accompagner dans la démarche ; - une fiche de synthèse pour chaque étape ; - des exemples concrets, des témoignages, des exercices pour comprendre la démarche, du point de vue de l'accompagné, en l'expérimentant, des exercices pour s'approprier la méthode d'accompagnement.

Cette nouvelle édition s'est enrichie d'outils qui seront très utiles au praticien : – tableau d'équivalence des principaux médicaments prescrits en France et en Angleterre ; – éléments utiles à l'installation à l'étranger (organismes, formations comparées, publications) ; – nouvelles fiches thématiques (personnels paramédicaux, pharmacien hôpital, établissements de soins,…).

  • Conduites pratiques en médecine foetale

    • 2nd Edition
    • Alexandra Benachi
    • French
    La médecine foetale réalise une synthèse du savoir et des moyens de chacun des spécialistes au service d'un enfant à naître porteur d'une pathologie.Si chaque spécialiste a une connaissance approfondie d'un type de pathologie, cela ne suffit pourtant pas pour l'appréhender correctement car il faut l'inscrire dans le contexte du foetus. Les explorations prénatales sont donc spécifiques à la médecine foetale : prélèvements, imagerie, biologie, génétique. Cette 2e édition rassemble pour l'obstétricien, l'échographiste, le pédiatre, le généticien et la sage-femme, la majorité des anomalies et pathologies pouvant être décelées lors de la grossesse et s'enrichit de nouvelles techniques et connaissances en diagnostic prénatal. Les auteurs évoquent pour chaque groupe de pathologies les moyens à mettre en oeuvre pour évaluer le pronostic, optimiser l'accueil de l'enfant et dans certains cas traiter in utero.

  • La contraception en pratique

    • French
    La contraception est un enjeu majeur de santé publique concernant toutes les femmes en période d'activité génitale. Comment fournir à chaque femme la contraception la plus adaptée et la plus sûre ? L'ouvrage, élaboré sous forme de chapitres synthétiques et pratiques, structurés toujours selon le même plan (la définition de la situation clinique, son épidémiologie, le risque des contraceptions de développer l'éventuelle pathologie et enfin les stratégies contraceptives dans le contexte clinique défini), a pour objet de passer en revue les diverses situations cliniques, de la plus simple aux pathologies plus rares, face auxquelles les éléments de choix des différentes stratégies contraceptives envisageables sont moins connus. Une solution contraceptive est toujours proposée pour chaque situation clinique sur la base des recommandations françaises ou internationales régulièrement mises à jour au fil des progrès de la recherche. Ainsi, cet ouvrage tente de répondre aux questions précises des praticiens de terrain au vu de l'évolution constante des différentes molécules ou contraceptions disponibles. Il s'adresse à tous les praticiens concernés à l'hôpital comme en médecine de ville : gynécologues médicaux, obstétriciens, chirurgiens gynécologiques, généralistes, sages-femmes et internes en formation.
