  • Complications in Male Circumcision

    • 1st Edition
    • Mohamed A Baky Fahmy
    • English
    Circumcision remains as one of the most controversial topics in current urological practice. The most important argument against circumcision is the permanent change of anatomy, histology and function of the penis, with potential complications, with rates reported to be low in developed countries, whereas it may be up to 85% when circumcision is carried out by traditional circumcisers, rather than by medically trained professionals in developing countries. In some studies, reporting the complications of circumcision, primary haemorrhage was the most common (52%), whereas infection, meatal stenosis, incomplete circumcision, penile oedema, glandular injury, penile adhesions, iatrogenic hypospadias and urethral injuries were also detected at different rates. At times minor complications after circumcision which cannot be avoided even when the procedure is undertaken by specialized pediatric surgeons or urologist, in a properly equipped centres; specially if the child or his penis is congenitally abnormal, the obvious examples are, circumcising a child with an excessive suprapubic fat or a child with webbed penis or microphallus . This title aims to minimize complications of MC and to compete against its serious impact on men’s’ health, it will educate and teach physicians about potential complications and how they could manage it early on and avoid further patient problems This title will shed some light over the common as well the uncommon complications, which usually raise a debate about its management. There are different sets to classify MC complications: Either early, or late, minor or major, local or systemic, rare or common. Both rare and common complications will be discussed with comprehensive photos and illustrations for each complication and its operative remedy.

  • Le syndrome dys-exécutif chez l'enfant et l'adolescent

    Répercussions scolaires et comportementales
    • 2nd Edition
    • Alain Moret + 1 more
    • French
    Parmi les troubles dys, ou troubles cognitifs spécifiques neuro-développementa... ceux affectant les fonctions exécutives sont encore trop méconnus. Touchant des fonctions dites « transversales », ils n’ont pas de répercussions circonscrites, ce qui rend leur repérage difficile.Favoriser l’établissement d’un diagnostic précoce et rigoureux et ainsi permettre aux sujets qui en souffrent de bénéficier de stratégies thérapeutiques et pédagogiques susceptibles de les améliorer : tel est le double objectif de ce livre.Cette 2e édition propose des mises à jour et enrichissements importants : nouveaux exemples présentant des situations et tâches régulièrement rencontrées à l’école primaire, exploration de pathologies génétiques, traitements pharmacologiques complémentaires…Comp... de deux parties, cet ouvrage articule médical et pédagogique. Il présente des approches différentes, mais qui s’imbriquent pour atteindre le même but : aider tous ceux qui seront amenés à côtoyer et accompagner les jeunes souffrant de troubles dys-exécutifs.La première partie fait un point synthétique sur les aspects médicaux du syndrome dys-attentionnel (TDA/H) et dys-exécutif. Après une description du développement normal de ces fonctions chez l’enfant, sont abordés leurs aspects pathologiques : symptômes, répercussions dans les apprentissages, puis les stratégies et évaluations qui conduisent au diagnostic. Enfin, sont indiquées les grandes lignes des préconisations thérapeutiques (médicamenteuses et rééducatives) ;La seconde partie est consacrée au jeune dys-exécutif en milieu scolaire (école primaire, collège et lycée). C’est dans ce cadre que s’expriment essentiellement ses difficultés. À travers un grand nombre d’exemples de devoirs, choisis dans l’éventail des disciplines scolaires (sciences, littérature, histoire-géographie…... les auteurs dessinent une « méthodologie générale de l’adaptation » et jettent les bases d’une réflexion sur les principes qui aideront à l’élaboration de stratégies compensatrices pertinentes, indispensables pour ces jeunes.
