In the last three decades, the prevalence of obesity has doubled with over 600 million obese adults worldwide. The gastrointestinal complications of obesity are well publicized; however, the role of the gastrointestinal tract in the development and treatment of obesity is often understated. From the pathophysiologic role of gut hormones and the microbiota, to the purposeful, anatomic derangement of the gastrointestinal tract that is utilized as a treatment for obesity, it is imperative that gastroenterologists understand the full scope of obesity in relation to the gastrointestinal system. Studies suggest that in the U.S. obesity is underrecognized and undertreated by health care providers. Given its complex sociology, pathophysiology, and treatment, obesity, like many other diseases, requires a multidisciplinary approach. Therefore, gastroenterologists must be equipped with the relevant knowledge of obesity that will empower them to properly manage their patients.

Preterm birth interrupts the normal developmental progression of most organs, particularly when birth occurs at the lowest level of viability. An immediate task is to successfully transition to a post-natal life without a placental circulation. To do this demands careful management of the cardiorespiratory systems. To best help the fragile preterm infant at this demanding time, care-givers must remember two most pressing goals. These are first to maintain adequacy of gas exchange and delivery, while simultaneously minimizing any secondary injury to the fragile preterm lung. However, after these immediate priorities in the delivery room, the longer term effects of an immature lung development and its associated problems come to the forefront. These problems include the inflammation of perinatal infection, oxygen, and invasive mechanical ventilation. Both the immaturity itself, and secondary lung injury and its inflammation – collectively will often lead to the condition termed bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Although many of these infants may eventually be discharged to home without a need for oxygen supplementation or pulmonary medications, the long-term impact of interrupted lung development and secondary lung injury remain serious concerns. It is now well recognized that mechanical ventilation is pivotal to developing secondary lung injury and BPD. Consequently, a great deal of time and effort has been put into the development and application of non-invasive ventilator (NIV) approaches to supporting respiratory function in neonates. Since the landmark publication by Gregory and colleagues in 1967, nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) has been the most commonly applied approach to NIV. This approach has been supported by the recent generation of randomized controlled trials. However, cumulatively these trials have shown only a small reduction in rates of BPD. Outside of the trial data, despite the wider application of nCPAP, rates of BPD remain relatively unchanged over recent years. This has led to investigations of other NIV approaches including nasal ventilation and high flow nasal cannula therapy. Not only have available modes increased, but so have the interfaces through which these modes may be applied. In the issue of Clinic in Perinatology, readers will find an up-to-date review of non-invasive approaches to supporting preterm respiratory function. This draws on the expertise of leading investigators in the field. This issue reviews the physiologic mechanisms by which the various approaches to NIV may support respiratory function; the evidence base supporting different NIV approaches; and adjunctive aspects of NIV therapy including their use during neonatal transport and the application of other supportive therapies such as inhaled NO.

Abordée dès la première année d’apprentissage de la kinésithérapie, la biomécanique constitue le socle fondamental que tout étudiant doit assimiler et comprendre. Ce manuel de référence, tenant compte de l’ensemble du programme de biomécanique des études de kinésithérapie et d’ostéopathie, met l’accent sur la compréhension et la finalité du savoir, dans un domaine rarement abordé sous cet angle. Sa conception pédagogique facilite l’acquisition des connaissances : • L'ouvrage traite l’ensemble de l’appareil musculo-squelettique du corps humain : membre inférieur, membre supérieur, tronc, cou, tête ; • La structure des chapitres permet une mémorisation facile grâce à une base de réflexion pragmatique. Chaque région est ainsi étudiée suivant le même plan : base de réflexion, rappels anatomiques, mobilités, statique, dynamique, contraintes ; • Plus de 1000 figures aident à la compréhension des comportements de structures souvent complexes. Cette deuxième édition, mise à jour, précise et enrichit l’étude de la mécanique appliquée à l’analyse du corps dans ses aspects statiques et dynamiques, tout en conservant la spécificité de l’ouvrage qui met en exergue les finalités fonctionnelles du mouvement. Enfin, la maquette tout en couleurs, met en valeur la structure du texte et l’enchainement de la réflexion biomécanique.
