      La psychiatrie est par essence une science médicale mais il est indispensable qu'elle soit comprise dans un contexte plus général. Aussi, quoi de mieux qu'un dictionnaire recensant la majeure partie des termes usités en psychiatrie et dans le domaine de la santé mentale ? Cet ouvrage, traduit de The Language of Mental Health: A Glossary of Psychiatric Terms, de l'American Psychatric Publishing, s'établit sur les définitions en vigueur dans le DSM-IV tout en tenant compte de l'évolution de la terminologie entraînée par la publication du DSM-5. L'ouvrage s'inscrit ainsi dans la lignée de l'American Psychatric Glossary, véritable référence pour tous les professionnels de la santé mentale. À la fois didactique et pratique, avec près de 2 500 entrées, ce dictionnaire s'attache ainsi à : • définir les divers termes afférents à la psychiatrie ; • développer les différents sigles et acronymes à la fois en français et en anglais ; • lister des médicaments utilisés en psychiatrie. Tout en maintenant un niveau de précision théorique et diagnostique pour tous les cliniciens, cet ouvrage de référence s'adresse à tous ceux qui ont besoin d'explications concises et complètes des termes adoptés dans la pratique et l'étude de la santé mentale.

      For the first time, Pediatric Clinics is devoting one issue to two clinically focused topics: Pediatric Palliative Care and Pediatric Hospital Medicine. Dr. Ottolini has organized her section to focus on a variety of issues of relevant to all pediatricians, but which pose special challenge to the Pediatric Hospitalists. As pediatric care has advanced, children who would not have survived infancy are growing into young adults with complex chronic diseases and dependence upon technology. They frequently require hospitalization to address exacerbation of underlying disease processes and procedures to improve their quality of life. The articles are devoted to patient care challenges of troubleshooting malfunctioning technology, co-managing medically complex patients pre and post-op with surgical colleagues, and the Hospitalist’s evolving role in performing procedures and sedation in this population of vulnerable patients. Also discussed rare strategies to maximize communication with parents, patients and primary care providers during hospitalization, especially for medically complex patients. Dr. Ullrich and Dr. Wolfe Pediatric have worked to bring relevant articles on palliative care to the pediatrician. While life-threatening conditions in childhood are rare, children with LTC account for a high proportion of pediatric hospital care, and about one half of such children die in the inpatient setting. The number of hospital-based pediatric palliative care programs has increased dramatically over the past decade to meet the palliative care needs of hospitalized children including symptom management, facilitation of communication, decision-making and advance care planning support, and coordination of care. Given these considerations, it is evident that the topics of pediatric palliative care and hospital medicine are fitting counterparts for this comprehensive issue.

      L'infectiologie est une discipline essentielle et complexe de la dermatologie. Cette pratique implique de larges connaissances cliniques, un suivi de l'actualité des avancées thérapeutiques et une capacité à mettre en œuvre un traitement parfois long et contraignant. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est de répondre à ces problématiques en abordant de manière exhaustive les expressions cutanées des maladies infectieuses selon les pathogènes en cause : virus, bactéries, mycoses, parasites, ectoparasites, algues. Les principaux syndromes infectieux sont aussi présentés, de même que des situations cliniques particulières avec un focus sur les populations vulnérables, les pathologies antérieures à risque et le cancer. Chaque chapitre recouvre tous les aspects épidémiologique, microbiologique, clinique, diagnostique, thérapeutique et préventif le cas échéant. Cet ouvrage de référence a été rédigé par des spécialistes francophones, experts de la dermatologie infectieuse. Illustré par 300 photos retenues pour la pertinence de leur représentativité, il constitue un outil précieux pour la pratique quotidienne des dermatologues, des infectiologues et des médecins généralistes. Ce livre s'adresse également aux étudiants cherchant à en connaître davantage sur cette discipline couvrant un large spectre de compétences.
