      Novateur et pratique, cet ouvrage de référence offre au diabétologue, à l’interne et au médecin généraliste, 55 démarches cliniques se basant sur les connaissances scientifiques actuelles et les recommandations des différentes organisations (HAS, ADA/EASD). Chaque cas clinique y est développé selon le même plan : 1• Point de départ : description du cas clinique précédé par un rappel de « l’état de l’art » (épidémiologique, physiopathologique, clinique et thérapeutique). 2• Itinéraire de la démarche à partir du point de départ : commentaire du cas clinique par l’expert, suivi d’une argumentation pour ou contre les différentes solutions proposées. 3• Point d’arrivée : énoncé de la solution sur laquelle l’expert a porté son choix préférentiel. 4• Conclusion et évolution possible au cours des années à venir. Les 55 démarches cliniques correspondent à la majorité des situations auxquelles est confronté le médecin en pratique médicale courante : par exemple, sujets chez lesquels on découvre un diabète ou qui nécessitent des ajustements thérapeutiques du fait de l’évolution de leur maladie, de la présence de complications en rapport avec le diabète ou de situations rencontrées dans leur vie quotidienne et pouvant interférer sur leur équilibre glycémique. Cet ouvrage fait appel aux avancées les plus récentes en matière de diabétologie. Il s’adresse à l’ensemble des professionnels de santé concernés par la prise en charge des patients diabétiques, et nous espérons qu’ils trouveront sa lecture agréable et profitable.

      Dr. Quigley has created a must-have reference on the gut microbiome for the practicing gastroenterologist. A leader in the field of human physiology and digestive disorders, he has laid out the basics on this increasingly important topic, devoting articles to the organization and biology of the human gut microbiome as well as its diagnostic potential. Top international authors have presented articles that discuss the intersection of the gut microbiome and diet and the gut-brain axis. Clinical implications of the gut microbiome are discussed with disease states like IBD, GI cancer, and liver diseases. Finally, the issue ends with the cutting-edge clinical innovation of fecal microbial transplantation. This issue bridges the gap between science and clinical practice and should be an important reference to practicing gastroenterologists.

      Critical care units are high-risk areas which contribute to increased health care costs and increased patient morbidity and mortality. Patients in critical care units are commonly confronted with existing and the potential to develop infections. Critical care practitioners play a crucial role as initial providers to critically ill patients with infections through the delivery of timely and appropriate therapies aimed to prevent and treat patient infections. The responsibility of critical care practitioners include prudent delivery of care to treat current infections as well as ensuring the delivery of care does not increase the development of new infections. Aggressive infection control measures are needed to reduce infections in critical care settings. Dissemination of scholarly work on the topic of infection in critically ill patients can play a role in improving patient outcomes. The information provided on infections in this issue of Critical Care Nursing Clinics promotes the dissemination of current literature on a series of timely and relevant infection topics in critical care environments.
