  • Fundamentals of Pharmacognosy and Phytotherapy

    • 4th Edition
    • Michael Heinrich + 4 more
    • English
    Pharmacognosy, the science of nature-derived drugs, pharmaceuticals, and poisons, played a crucial role in the development of modern medicine, and now has an equally important place in healthcare all over the world. This wide scope ranges from traditional medicine systems and herbal and nutritional therapies, the preparation and use of highly standardised and clinically tested herbal medicines, to the production of potent drugs used only in a purified form. Natural sources mainly focus on plants, fungi and algae, but drug discovery of novel compounds and structures includes bacteria and even marine animals.Fundamentals of Pharmacognosy and Phytotherapy is a landmark textbook that covers this spectrum of medicinal plant use. Written by leading experts in this field, this book takes the reader through the history, identification, and quality assurance of plant-based medicines to their therapeutic properties, safety, and compatibility and interaction with prescribed drugs.Aimed at students of all healthcare professions, including pharmacy, medicine, nursing and complementary therapies, the comprehensively updated information in this textbook is also relevant to those companies and organisations concerned with the regulation and testing of herbal medicines (phytomedicines), other natural health products, nutraceuticals and dietary supplements.

  • Technique IRM en imagerie musculosquelettique

    Positionnements, protocoles, critères de réussite
    • 1st Edition
    • Eric Lévêque
    • French
    Examen fondamental en radiographie, l’IRM musculosquelettique voit sa qualité et sa pertinence dépendre de nombreux facteurs : l’appareillage, le patient, son installation, le protocole d’examen, etc. Le rôle des manipulateurs en électroradiologie médicale (MERM) est donc essentiel car, dans la plupart des cas, ce sont eux qui choisissent l’antenne, positionnent le patient et adaptent le protocole.Cet ouvrage a pour ambition de donner aux professionnels toutes les clefs de cette technique cruciale.Après deux parties introductives qui évoquent notamment les aspects techniques (risques en IRM, artéfacts, antennes, positionnement), le livre aborde les membres supérieurs, le sternum et le rachis et enfin les membres inférieurs, ainsi que le cas particulier de la pédiatrie.Les protocoles en ostéoarticulaire sont détaillés : ils comprennent les protocoles d’exploration standardisés ainsi que des séquences additionnelles par anatomie. Sont également exposés les critères de réussite, les placements de coupe et enfin les résultats. Cet ouvrage donne un accès rapide à l'information, avec des textes concis et une riche iconographie.Il s’adresse aux manipulateurs en radiologie en formation ou en exercice, ainsi qu’aux radiologues.
