  • Chirurgie palpébrale

    pathologique et esthétique
    • 2nd Edition
    • November 20, 2017
    • Jean-Paul Adenis
    • French
    À la croisée de la chirurgie ophtalmologique, de la chirurgie plastique et de la chirurgie reconstructrice, la chirurgie palpébrale requiert un apprentissage rigoureux : il s'agit de traiter une pathologie de la paupière sans porter atteinte au globe oculaire, ni à la fonction visuelle. Or, les interventions sont fréquentes et variées : entropion, trichiasis, ectropion, ptosis... Cet ouvrage propose des descriptions détaillées des principales opérations de la paupière ; il avertit sur les points essentiels et les risques à éviter. Afin de suivre pas à pas les différents temps opératoires, 350 illustrations dont 250 dessins chirurgicaux illustrent le propos de l'auteur. Cette nouvelle édition, révisée et augmentée, est complétée par de nombreux ajouts en particulier sur l’esthétique du visage, les injections de toxines botuliques et les produits de comblement, et la chirurgie de la paupière asiatique, complétant ainsi les différents domaines abordés et notamment celui de l’esthétique. L'anatomie, les fonctions palpébrales et les troubles de la statique font l'objet de chapitres introductifs. Les différentes pathologies sont ensuite étudiées : tumeurs, traumatologie, maladies génétiques. La chirurgie des cavités, de la protection cornéenne et des voies orbitaires est également traitée. L'ouvrage s'achève sur les aspects cosmétiques et le traitement des blépharospasmes. Cet ouvrage exhaustif et didactique s’adresse aussi bien aux ophtalmologistes qu’aux chirurgiens plasticiens et esthétiques, qu’ils souhaitent découvrir de nouvelles techniques ou bien parfaire leurs connaissances. Jean-Paul Adenis est professeur émérite des universités, praticien hospitalier et ancien chef du service d'ophtalmologie au CHU Dupuytren de Limoges.

  • Les troubles liés aux traumatismes et aux facteurs de stress

    Le guide du clinicien
    • 1st Edition

    • French
    Le clinicien dispose enfin d’une aide au diagnostic et au traitement des troubles liés aux traumatismes et aux facteurs de stress, qui vont bien au-delà du stress post-traumatique. Fondé sur un haut niveau de connaissances scientifiques, cet ouvrage est le seul en langue française à aborder de manière pratique et clinique un large panel de ces troubles, illustrés par des cas cliniques. Le premier enjeu est de distinguer une réponse normale d’une réponse pathologique. Puis, le nouveau regroupement diagnostique introduit dans le DSM-5® permet l’explicitation des différents troubles et syndromes : - le trouble de l’adaptation, - le trouble stress aigu, - le trouble stress post-traumatique, - le vécu de désagrégation, - le deuil complexe persistant. Enfin les moyens pour surmonter et prendre en charge ces troubles sont exposés au clinicien, avec une analyse de la résilience et des thérapeutiques les plus actuelles, particulièrement de celles qui se sont avérées les plus efficaces dans des études contrôlées. Cette oeuvre se distingue par une étude fine des aspects médico-légaux des troubles liés aux traumatismes et aux facteurs de stress, et des nouveaux développements dans le DSM-5® et la CIM-11, qui succèdera à la CIM-10. L’ouvrage permet de se mettre à jour des recommandations internationales, en phase avec l’état actuel de la littérature scientifique internationale – notamment pour ce qui est des questions neuropsychologiques, pharmacologiques et cognitivo-comporteme... Il constitue un véritable outil de travail à destination des psychiatres, psychothérapeutes et psychologues cliniciens, qu’ils soient professionnels ou étudiants. Cet ouvrage a été publié dans sa version originale par l’American Psychiatric Association, sous le titre Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders. A handbook for clinicians.
