      By the time this issue of Gastroenterology Clinics of North America is released, it will have been 16 years since infliximab was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of moderate to severe Crohn disease. Not only have we come a long way in understanding the efficacy and safety of infliximab, we are beginning to understand how and when to use the drug. Furthermore, as of this writing, we have five other biologic agents approved for either Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis, and there are many more molecules currently in drug development for these indications. In this issue,the Editors have assembled a collection of experts to provide the most cutting-edge information on the status of biologic therapy for inflammatory bowel disease.

      Cet ouvrage sous forme de fiches a pour ambition de donner les clefs et les repères pour le raisonnement clinique dans le domaine de l'anesthésie-réanima... Il est conçu comme un outil d'aide à la résolution de problèmes régulièrement rencontrés dans les situations d'anesthésie. Présentées de façon claire et synthétique, ces fiches sont destinées autant aux étudiants infirmiers anesthésistes qu'aux professionnels diplômés. Elles systématisent les risques et les attitudes pratiques à mettre en œuvre pour une prise en charge optimale du processus d'anesthésie. Comme elles abordent d'ailleurs largement la partie réveil postopératoire, elle peuvent également être un outil de référence pour les paramédicaux (IDE, IADE) exerçant en SSPI ou en réanimation. Regroupées en 4 grandes parties (terrains, chirurgies, techniques de base, SSPI), elles présentent les prises en charges dans la pratique et sont basées sur les dernières recommandations des sociétés savantes. Cet ouvrage constitue donc une aide précieuse pour tous les IADE étudiants ou professionnels diplômés en permettant d'identifier les risques spécifiques et leurs mécanismes physiopathologiques, de les documenter, d'en expliquer les conséquences ainsi que d'en apporter les moyens de prévention, de détection et de traitement.
