      Alcoholic liver disease has once again entered our collective conscience.  A paper in 2012 showed the utility of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in acute alcoholic hepatitis.  As expected, this opened the floodgates.  Every liver transplant program in the USA is now under pressure to list and transplant patients with alcoholic liver disease (ALD), resulting n a shift in the type of patients to admit and list for OLT.  In consultation with Dr. Norman Gitlin, Dr. Norman Sussman and Dr. Michael Lucey have put together a collection of articles on current practices and future trends in the management of alcohol-related diseases. Expert authors from top institutions have contributed articles on the following topcs: Histopatholog... Alcohol and the Law; Alcoholic Liver Disease in Children; Alcohol Use Disorder; Pathogenesis of ALD; Acute Alcoholic Hepatitis; Nutrition and Malnutrition in ALD; Alcoholic Cirrhosis; Liver Transplantation for Alcoholic Liver Disease; CNS effects of Alcohol; and Will Studies in NASH Help to Manage AS.

      Les relations entre les professionnels de santé, les personnes soignées et leurs proches sont parfois délicates, voire conflictuelles. Au-delà des souffrances qui en découlent pour chacun, il en résulte de véritables risques pour la qualité des soins. Ce livre aborde ce sujet délicat et présent au quotidien dans de nombreuses structures de soins, grâce à une démarche originale : partir des situations conflictuelles, pour en identifier les origines les plus courantes et en évaluer les conséquences, avant de proposer des pistes concrètes d’action. Cette 2de édition, entièrement mise à jour, se structure autour de deux parties et propose, en plus des apports théoriques, des fiches pratiques offrant des compléments (piste d’analyse, outils d’intervention…) et de nombreux exemples pour approfondir et illustrer les propos. - La première partie, élaborée à partir des pièges à éviter, traite des causes et conséquences des situations relationnelles difficiles ; - La seconde partie s’axe sur le développement de nouvelles formes de relations entre soignants et soignés et propose différentes approches (projets de soins négociés, pratique soignante porteuse de sens…) pour mettre en place des changements significatifs. Cet ouvrage a pour objectif d’être un outil de réflexion et d’action, utile à tous ceux qui sont confrontés à ces situations, afin de prévenir et dénouer les conflits entre soignants et soignés.
