    • 1st Edition
    • Florence Coscas
    • French
    La DMLA exsudative Cet atlas a pour vocation de donner tous les outils thérapeutiques disponibles actuellement pour que l’ophtalmologiste puisse offrir le maximum de chances à son patient de conserver une meilleure acuité visuelle et une qualité de vie satisfaisante malgré la DMLA. Les traitements de la DMLA exsudative ont beaucoup progressé au cours de ces dernières années grâce aux avancées de l’imagerie du fond de l’œil et à la création de molécules plus efficaces dont l’action est très nettement améliorée par le mode d’injection intravitréenne. Fruit de l’expérience clinique d’une équipe d’auteurs référente au CHI de Créteil, à la Fondation Rothschild et dans plusieurs centres DMLA en France, l’ouvrage expose des stratégies sur mesure, adaptées en tenant compte des diverses approches thérapeutiques, validées par les études cliniques, contrôlées et randomisées. Chaque chapitre se construit autour d’un exposé contradictoire et commenté par des avis d’expert sur le diagnostic et la surveillance, des études et protocoles, de leurs applications en pratique clinique courante puis de l’exposé de cas cliniques richement illustrés et commentés sur toute la durée du traitement. Les perspectives thérapeutiques sont également abordées. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aussi bien aux praticiens hospitaliers que libéraux qui souhaitent parfaire leurs connaissances sur les dernières avancées concernant la DMLA exsudative. Florence Coscas est ophtalmologiste, praticien hospitalier au CHI de Créteil ainsi qu’au Centre Ophtalmologique de l’Odéon à Paris.

  • Adolescent Sexuality, An Issue of Pediatric Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 64-2
    • Marianne E. Felice
    • English
    Dr. Felice has put together clinical reviews articles that cover a broad scope of clinical issues that are common among sexually active adolescent patients. Some issues addressed include: HPV Vaccine Update; Treating Dysmenorrhea/Menorrh... New STD Guidelines; Emergency Contraception; Talking to Parents about Teen Sexuality; and Long-acting Reversible Contraception. Most pediatricians feel poorly equipped to address these problems. They are also complicated issues that give the average pediatric clinician pause and often take more time than usually scheduled in a busy practice. By providing practical updated information on these clinical problems, pediatric practitioners can become more comfortable in dealing with these topics. Although many clinicians are not involved with adolescents in the juvenile justice system, Dr. Felice included an article on this so that pediatricians can be more educated and sensitive to the needs of these young people. An article on human trafficking of teens in included with the hope bringing awareness of this issue. Articles in this issue were selected specifically because they directly affect primary pediatric care. For example, an article is included on how to help young people avoid being victims of partner violence rather than an article on sexual abuse and rape because adolescents would be treated in the emergency room and not the pediatrician’s office.
