      Dr Roy Soetikno and Dr Tonya Kaltenbach are the editors for this issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, which is devoted to the improved detection and management of early neoplasia in inflammatory bowel disease. An important aspect of Dr Soetikno’s outstanding career has been the bridging of endoscopic methods between Japan and the United States. Endoscopists in Japan have a better record of detecting subtle flat GI lesions. From the earliest days of endoscopy, it is fair to say that Japanese endoscopists have emphasized visual identification, analysis, and photo documentation of small GI lesions. The colon has been no exception. Dr Soetikno has incorporated these techniques, which have become increasingly feasible with steady improvement in modern digital endoscopes. Identifying small flat premalignant lesions and early cancers in patients with colitis can be lifesaving. Dr Soetikno and Dr Kaltenbach have edited an extraordinary issue of the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America devoted to teaching and promulgating these methods, including an extensive photo atlas, which should be an invaluable resource for all academic specialists and practicing gastroenterologists.

      Interventional cardiologists are able to perform minimally invasive procedures, such as angioplasty and stenting, due to imaging technologies that allow them to see inside the heart and blood vessels without open surgery. Such imaging often requires injection of contrast media, which are generally safe, but for some patients with drug sensitivities or compromised kidney function, contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) can result. CIN is a major complication that can increase in-hospital mortality. This issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinica addresses the management, treatment, and prevention of renal complications in the catheterization laboratory.

      De nombreux ouvrages savants traitent des troubles spécifiques des apprentissages et des « dys -», en particulier des troubles spécifiques du langage et des dyslexies. Au contraire les troubles non-verbaux, plus récemment mis à jour, sont beaucoup moins bien renseignés. Cet ouvrage traite de cas cliniques représentatifs et didactiques afin de rendre compte de la complexité du réel et des difficultés vécues par les patients. Ainsi, le lecteur fait face à des témoignages réalistes et pragmatiques, évoquant les obstacles, les erreurs fréquentes, les pièges dissimulés qui contribuent à égarer les professionnels. Chaque cas clinique est exploité pour guider le praticien. Les commentaires et les développements explicatifs donnent les pistes d'une réflexion ancrée dans la réalité et dans les méandres de situations habituelles (consultation ou suivi des patients). Tout au long de l'ouvrage, les auteurs interrogeront : la variété des dysgraphies, les difficultés de la phase diagnostique, les critères d'appréciation des troubles associés, les situations intriquées entre trouble neuropsychologique et psychodynamique, la stratégie thérapeutique et les choix qui guident les adaptations au cas par cas.
