Topics include but are not limited to: Risk Factors and Genetics of Atrial Fibrillation; Mechanisms of Atrial Fibrillation: Rotors, Ionic Determinants, and Excitation Frequency; Diagnostic Evaluation and Follow-Up of Patients with Atrial Fibrillation; Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation; Antithrombotic and Anticoagulant Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation; Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation: Incidence, Mechanisms, and Clinical Correlates; and Novel Upstream Approaches to Prevent Atrial Fibrillation Perpetuation.
  • Manipulations des dysfonctions pelviennes féminines

    De nombreux ostéopathes sont confrontés dans leur pratique quotidienne à des patientes présentant des déséquilibres de la sphère pelvienne. Les motifs de consultation peuvent être liés à des troubles fonctionnels (incontinence urinaire, algies pelviennes, infertilité), à la physiologie hormonale (puberté, cycle menstruel, grossesse, ménopause) ou encore à des conséquences chirurgicales ou infectieuses spécifiques. Les tissus mous intrapelviens sont en permanence sollicités et mobilisés par les fonctions respiratoire, urinaire, génitale et intestinale ; de même les organes urogénitaux sont en constant mouvement. Le rôle de l'ostéopathe est de restaurer la mobilité de l'ensemble de ces tissus, afin d'assurer une bonne physiologie de la sphère pelvienne. Cet ouvrage, basé sur la clinique et les motifs de consultation les plus fréquents, fournit à l'ostéopathe des clés de traitement pour soulager et aider les patientes. Les auteurs proposent plusieurs types de manipulations par voies externe et interne. Les approches tissulaire, neurale et vasculaire y sont largement développées. L'ouvrage est didactique : la description des techniques est accompagnée de schémas et de photographies illustrant les différentes manipulations. La relation émotionnelle, l'impact social, le rôle du thérapeute, les indications et contre-indications, ainsi que certaines pathologies spécifiques à la sphère génito-urinaire sont autant d'aspects largement détaillés.
