  • The Complementary Therapist's Guide to Conventional Medicine

    A Textbook and Study Course
    • 1st Edition
    • Clare Stephenson
    • English
    The Complementary Therapist's Guide to Conventional Medicine is a unique textbook for students and practitioners of complementary medicine, offering a systematic comparative approach to Western and Eastern medicine. Practitioners of complementary medicine increasingly find themselves working alongside conventionally trained doctors and nurses and it is vital for them to develop a core understanding of conventional medical language and philosophy. The book is designed as a guide to understanding conventional medical diagnoses, symptoms and treatments, whilst also encouraging the reader to reflect on and translate how these diagnoses may be interpreted from a more holistic medical perspective. Throughout the text the practitioner/student is encouraged to see that conventional and more holistic interpretations are not necessarily contradictory, but instead are simply two different approaches to interpreting the same truth, that truth being the patient's symptoms. After introductory sections on physiology, pathology and pharmacology, there follow sections devoted to each of the physiological systems of the body. In these, the physiology of each system is explored together with the medical investigation, symptoms and treatments of the important diseases which might affect that system. As each disease is described, the reader is encouraged to consider the corresponding Chinese medical perspective. The textbook concludes with chapters relating specifically to dealing with patients in practice. In particular these focus on warning signs of serious disease, supporting patients on medication and ethical issues which may arise from management of patients which is shared with conventional practitioners. The book also offers a detailed summary of 'Red Flag symptoms' which are those which should be referred for 'Western' medical investigation or emergency medical treatment, and also a guide to how patients can be safely supported in withdrawing from conventional medication, when this is clinically appropriate. Those wishing to use the text for systematic study can make use of the question and problem-solving approach offered on the accompanying CD to which references to self study exercises appear at regular stages throughout the book. This means that the text can be easily adapted to form the basis of a study course in clinical medicine for students of complementary medicine. In addition to the self-testing questions and answers, the supporting CD also contains checklists for revision and full-colour illustrations. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Clare Stephenson is a qualified medical practitioner who worked in hospital medicine, general practice and public health medicine for a number of years before training in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture. Over the course of a decade she developed and taught an undergraduate course for students of Chinese medicine on Western medicine and how it relates to TCM. She is particularly committed to encouraging communication and understanding between practitioners of different health disciplines. She currently works as a GP in Oxfordshire.

  • Aide à l'examen du système nerveux périphérique

    • 2nd Edition
    • Comité directeur de la revue de neurologie Brain + 2 more
    • French
    Conçu pour fournir une aide pratique à l'examen des patients souffrant d'une atteinte du système nerveux périphérique, cet ouvrage très didactique s'adresse aussi bien aux étudiants en médecine qu'aux cliniciens confirmés de toutes spécialités.Selon le principe « une image vaut 1000 mots », cet ouvrage privilégie les schémas et les photographies, étayés par des textes très concis, pour expliquer clairement comment effectuer l'examen neurologique et les signes cliniques à rechercher."Ce livret fait partie de ceux que devraient posséder les neurologues, les neurochirurgiens, les médecins généralistes et tous les praticiens qui, de temps en temps, seront amenés à examiner les patients souffrant de lésions neurologiques périphériques. Bien qu'extrêmement court, l'ouvrage abonde de photographies et de diagrammes. Hautement recommandé". Dr Eben Alexander, Surgical Neurology "Souvent le rhumatologue est confronté dans sa pratique à des problèmes qui sont, peut-être ou sûrement, du domaine des atteintes périphériques du système nerveux. Or s'il y a un domaine où l'examen clinique garde toute sa valeur, c'est bien là ! Il est donc important que le rhumatologue sache maîtriser les différentes étapes de l'examen neurologique. Cet opuscule, bien que rédigé depuis des années par des neurologues de haut niveau, évite toute approche académique et se veut essentiellement pratique et didactique. Pour atteindre l'objectif qu'il se propose, il est fait d'illustrations (photos et schémas) très démonstratives et immédiatement utilisables par le praticien. On ne peut que recommander chaudement cet ouvrage qui, comme l'indique le docteur Catherine Masson, n'est petit que par sa taille". Pr Marcel-Francis Kahn, Revue du rhumatisme, Décembre 2008 "Cet opuscule réussit le tour de force de présenter, sous la forme d'images, l'essentiel de ce qui doit être connu pour procéder à l'examen des structures du système nerveux périphérique... En conclusion, ce livre s'adresse à tous ceux qui, de près ou de loin, s'intéressent à l'examen clinique des structures du système nerveux périphérique, étudiants et professionnels confirmés. Pour les uns, il constituera un outil de révision précieux. Pour les autres, il permettra en un clin d'oeil de dissiper un doute lorsque la mémoire fait défaut".

  • Cadre de santé de proximité

    Un métier au coeur du soin. Penser une éthique du quotidien des soins
    • 1st Edition
    • Walter Hesbeen + 1 more
    • French
    Il est bien des façons d'exercer le métier de cadre de santé et, dès lors, d'orienter la pratique que recouvre une telle appellation. Si la nécessité d'une performance gestionnaire et managériale est souvent mise en avant et ne fait, d'ailleurs, pas de doute, celle de la pertinence humaine des actions et de leur organisation ne peut être laissée dans l'ombre. C'est au nom de cette pertinence de la pratique quotidienne des soins et de la nécessité de bien traiter l'humain – tant celui à qui se destinent les soins que celui qui a pour métier d'en donner – que l'auteur a choisi de réfléchir dans ce livre à toute l'importance de la fonction de cadre de santé de proximité. En effet, bien traiter l'humain malade ou dépendant ne saurait se limiter à bien faire tout ce qu'il y a à faire : l'humain n'est pas réductible aux soins qu'il requiert et ne se confond pas avec l'excellence des pratiques qui lui sont destinées. C'est d'une complexité singulière dont il est question et de la capacité que l'on a individuellement et collectivement d'accueillir cette singularité, capacité qui témoigne de la considération que l'on a pour cet autre malade ou dépendant et qui vit, d'une manière qui lui est particulière, ce qu'il a à vivre lorsque la maladie surgit ou lorsque la dépendance modifie le cours de son existence. Prendre en compte cette complexité singulière requiert de fonder la pratique des soins sur une intelligence du singulier qui, seule, permet aux professionnels de se révéler compétents en une situation donnée et d'exprimer leur préoccupation d'une éthique du quotidien des soins. Déployer une telle intelligence du singulier ne va pas de soi, y compris pour les plus qualifiés et expérimentés des professionnels. C'est parce que cela ne va pas de soi que les équipes ont besoin d'être soutenues, encadrées et accompagnées grâce à la présence, au coeur du soin, d'un cadre de santé de proximité et grâce à l'autorité aidante et bienfaisante qu'il peut ainsi exprimer.

    • French
    Troisième cause de mortalité dans les pays développés, les accidents vasculaires cérébraux (AVC) sont responsables de 130 000 nouveaux cas par an en France. Leur prise en charge est devenue, en quelques années, l’un des principaux défis pour la médecine d’urgence. Leur prise en charge est devenue en quelques années l'un des principaux défi pour la médecine d'urgence. Un défi à l’image d’une course contre la montre… pour avoir, dans un délai de moins de trois heures, un diagnostic de certitude permettant, en cas d’AVC ischémique, d’initier une thrombolyse. Cela suppose que l’appel du patient au Samu-centre 15 soit précoce, que soit organisé le transfert rapide vers un établissement disposant d’une unité neurovasculaire et que soient accessibles les examens discriminants. Cela suppose, pour chacun des acteurs de cette chaîne de prise en charge, une bonne connaissance de l’AVC et de l’ensemble des pathologies neurovasculaires. Cet ouvrage pratique, rédigé par des médecins de services internationalement reconnus pour leur expérience dans ce domaine, mêle efficacement recommandations internationales et expériences de terrain. Certes, l’AVC, et en particulier l’AVC ischémique et son traitement, occupe ici une place de choix, mais les diagnostics différentiels, AVC hémorragiques, hémorragie sous-arachnoïdienne, accident ischémique transitoire, complètent cet ouvrage ; imagerie, stratégies de prévention, organisation des soins et rééducation ne sont pas oubliées, faisant de ce livre un véritable ouvrage de référence. Un ouvrage que tous les urgentistes, neurologues, réanimateurs et médecins de la réadaptation fonctionnelle devraient avoir à portée de main pour une prise en charge optimale des urgences neurovasculaires.

  • Visceral Vascular Manipulations

    • 1st Edition
    • Jean-Pierre Barral + 1 more
    • English
    This work demonstrates a novel approach to visceral osteopathy. Basing their ideas on anatomy and physiology, Jean-Pierre Barral and Alain Croibier propose manipulation of the arteries to treat the intestines and other internal organs by increasing their blood flow. The arteries, elastic and muscular in structure, and the innumerable nerve filaments which surround them, react ideally to manual treatment. To be effective, however, these manipulations must be specific and precise. Thanks to the authors’ long experience as therapists, their mastery of osteopathic techniques and the aid of ultrasound technology, they have devised innovative techniques to improve the visceral vascular circulation. In this book the authors show the various sites of the principle pulses of the body and summarise the physiology of the circulation of the blood. The main organs and their physiology are addressed and include the heart, pancreas, small intestine, colon and other abdominal structures as well as the regions of the neck, skull and pelvic cavity. Rich in detailed, high quality illustrations, this book serves as both an anatomical reference and a guide to carrying out visceral vascular manipulations in the most effective way possible. The work is aimed at experienced osteopaths as well as those in training, and at other manual therapists who wish to widen their scope.
