  • Pain

    a textbook for health professionals
    • 2nd Edition
    • Hubert van Griensven + 2 more
    • English
    The highly anticipated new edition of Pain: a textbook for health professionals (previous subtitle a textbook for therapists) has undergone a major rewrite in order to reflect the rapid developments in the field of pain management. It highlights an effective and evidence-based method, providing the theoretical basis to help with the assessment and management of persistent pain, while also discussing in depth a range of specific approaches. Pain: a textbook for health professionals is written emphatically from a biopsychosocial perspective. In order to set the scene, the introductory section includes chapters on the patient’s voice and social determinants of pain. This ensures that the deeply personal and social aspects of pain are not lost among the more technical and biological commentary. These aspects provide an overall context, and are revisited in chapters on participation of life roles, work rehabilitation and psychology. The basic science section includes key chapters on the psychology, neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of pain. This provides a basis for subsequent chapters on specific approaches such as pharmacology, physical therapy and complementary medicine. Pain in specific patient groups, including children, the elderly and those with cancer, are dealt with in separate chapters, as are pain problems such as complex regional pain syndrome and chronic spinal pain. Although the emphasis of the book is on long term pain, acute pain is discussed as a possible precursor and determinant of chronicity. "The book covers a multitude of facets with regards relieving a patients pain, there are sections for pharmacological actions, rehabilitation, manual therapy and exercise therapy to name a few. The book is well researched and gives a very comprehensive overview of the major factors a therapist would require to treat pain." Reviewed by: Physical Therapy In Sport, Date: Oct 14

  • Mosby's Stretching Pocket Guide

    • 1st Edition
    • Sandra K. Anderson
    • English
    From basic static stretches to advanced techniques like the pin-and-stretch, Mosby’s Stretching Pocket Guide defines and explains stretching and flexibility in a way that is both applicable to manual therapy professionals and easily understood by manual therapy students. Presented in an atlas format with over 200 illustrations, this convenient reference has Spotlight boxes with salient points, and general assessment and stretching guidelines available in a clear, easy to understand format that is immediately applicable to manual therapy practice. "There is excellent practical advice about the dangers of over-zealous stretching and the clearest warnings about the harm can be done and how long it may take this harm to settle. I wonder if the day of the pocket guide is almost over, to be replaced by the mobile phone or tablet on which these various stretching illustrations can all be shown in colour (and maybe with movement). If there is not already an app for stretching, I guess there soon will be." Reviewed by: Andrew Watson, Nottingham Date: Aug 2014

    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. En début d'ouvrage, un tableau de correspondance inédit entre l'ancien et le nouveau programme offre un repérage rapide des changements intervenus dans la discipline : numéros d'items + objectifs pédagogiques.
