Ce guide, outil incontournable de l’exercice de la médecine aux urgences, aborde toutes les situations pathologiques sous un angle pratique, didactique et exhaustif. Après une première partie consacrée à l’organisation des structures d’urgence et à la prise en charge de la douleur dans le service, le praticien retrouvera 145 situations pathologiques, précisant la conduite à tenir fondée sur l’EBM et des recommandations actuelles, classées par motifs de consultations et dans une présentation synthétique. Chaque situation suit le plan suivant : points importants, définition, diagnostic, éléments de gravité, prise en charge thérapeutique, consignes et surveillance. Toute la traumatologie est traitée, et les deux derniers chapitres sont consacrés aux gestes techniques et aux aspects médicaux légaux. Afin de mettre à la disposition du lecteur toutes les informations nécessaires, les fiches sont complétées par une iconographie ou une documentation spécifique (radios, photos, figures, textes légaux...) consultables en ligne.

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers account for nearly 150,000 deaths each year, in the United States alone. Encouragingly, environmental risk factors, premalignant conditions, and high-risk familial kindreds are well described for many GI cancers. In this comprehensive volume on GI Neoplasia, all luminal cancers will be discussed, along with pancreas cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), carcinoid tumors, and neuroendocrine tumors. Hepatobiliary cancers are not addressed, as these tumors could form the basis of a separate volume. Articles are organized to address several key topics for each cancer type, such as: public health burden, molecular pathways, risk and protective factors, early detection, clinical evaluation, management, and survivorship.
