  • Atlas of Normal Radiographic Anatomy and Anatomic Variants in the Dog and Cat

    • 2nd Edition
    • Donald E. Thrall + 1 more
    • English
    Equip yourself to make accurate diagnoses and achieve successful treatment outcomes with this highly visual comprehensive atlas. Featuring a substantial number of new high contrast images, Atlas of Normal Radiographic Anatomy and Anatomic Variants in the Dog and Cat, 2nd Edition provides an in-depth look at both normal and non-standard subjects along with demonstrations of proper technique and image interpretations. Expert authors Donald E. Thrall and Ian D. Robertson describe a wider range of "normal" as compared to competing books — not only showing standard dogs and cats, but also non-standard subjects such as overweight and underweight pets and animals with breed-specific variations. Every body part is put into context with a textual description to help explain why a structure appears as it does in radiographs, and enabling practitioners to appreciate variations of normal that are not included, based on an understanding of basic radiographic principles.

De l'avant à l'arrière-pied, sont détaillés entre autres le traitement de l'hallux valgus et des métatarsalgies, la chirurgie de Lisfranc, les arthrodèses sous-taliennes, tibiotalo-calcanéenn... la triple arthrodèse et leurs variantes, avant d'aborder la cheville, ou les techniques de reconstruction, de prothèses, de sauvetages et de stabilisations ligamentaires. Les techniques arthroscopiques, en pleine expansion, ont été intégrées au sein de chaque chapitre comme une alternative thérapeutique. La troisième et dernière partie de cet ouvrage traite de l'aspect médico-chirurgical de toute pathologie du pied et de la cheville et apporte ainsi l'éclairage pluridisciplinaire indispensable à une bonne pratique : pied tombant neurologique, syndromes canalaires, pied diabétique, tumoral ou séquellaire, cheville rhumatoïde, pathologie unguéale, etc. La médecine du sport et de rééducation ainsi que les appareillages (chaussures et orthèses plantaires) sont également abordés.

  • Hallux Rigidus, An issue of Foot and Ankle Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 20-3
    • Eric Giza
    • English
    In the MTP joint, as in any joint, the ends of the bones are covered by a smooth articular cartilage. If wear-and-tear or injury damage the articular cartilage, the raw bone ends can rub together. A bone spur, or overgrowth, may develop on the top of the bone. This overgrowth can prevent the toe from bending as much as it needs to when you walk. The result is a stiff big toe, or hallux rigidus. Hallux rigidus usually develops in adults between the ages of 30 and 60 years. No one knows why it appears in some people and not others. It may result from an injury to the toe that damages the articular cartilage or from differences in foot anatomy that increase stress on the joint.

  • Le burn-out à l'hôpital

    Le syndrome d'épuisement professionnel des soignants
    • 5th Edition
    • Pierre Canouï + 3 more
    • French
    La résistance au stress et les stratégies d'adaptation sont particulièrement sollicitées dans la relation au patient, mais aussi du fait de conditions d'exercice éprouvantes. La détresse du patient est directement liée aux burn-out des soignants, ou syndrome d'épuisement professionnel des soignants (SEPS), en raison du phénomène de déshumanisation de la relation soignant-soigné. Les auteurs font le point sur les facteurs de stress spécifiques, sur les stratégies d'adaptation et indiquent les instruments d'évaluation d'un burn-out. Ils accordent ensuite une large part aux réponses institutionnelles et individuelles pour remédier au SEPS, débouchant sur les possibilités de prévention. Cette nouvelle édition tient compte de l'évolution de ce syndrome ces 15 dernières années et propose des réponses adaptées, notamment par la médecine du travail.
