      L'éducateur de jeunes enfants a pour rôle essentiel de favoriser le développement et l'épanouissement des enfants de moins de 7 ans et, sans se substituer aux parents, il en assure la continuité éducative. Il intervient principalement dans toutes les structures d'accueil de la petite enfance (crèches, halte-garderies, jardins d'enfants, etc.). Le DEEJE (Diplôme d'État d'éducateur de jeunes enfants) permet au futur professionnel d'acquérir les connaissances nécessaires à l'accompagnement de l'enfant en abordant les dimensions relationnelle, psychologique, sociale et éducative de la fonction. Ce guide, entièrement mis à jour, couvre la totalité du programme du DEEJE composé de 4 domaines de formation : – DF1 : Accueil et accompagnement du jeune enfant et de sa famille. – DF2 : Action éducative en direction du jeune enfant. – DF3 : Communication professionnelle. – DF4 : Dynamiques institutionnelles, interinstitutionnell... et partenariales. Dans chaque domaine, le cours expose de façon claire et détaillée tous les savoirs, grâce à de nombreux tableaux et schémas légendés et à des études de situations. Des encadrés « Rôle de l'EJE » mettent en lumière les compétences que le professionnel doit mettre en œuvre dans telle ou telle situation et des encadrés « Mémo psy » explicitent certaines notions de psychologie à maîtriser. Cet ouvrage, conforme au référentiel de formation, s'adresse à tous les élèves préparant le DEEJE, et à tous les professionnels de la petite enfance qui souhaitent approfondir ou mettre à jour leurs connaissances et leurs compétences.

      Acute respiratory infections are responsible for an estimated 4 million deaths annually worldwide, and are the leading cause of death in children younger than 5 years. Over 1 million people in the United States are hospitalized each year with pneumonia. Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects one third of world’s population. There are more than 1 million tuberculosis-related deaths worldwide each year. Emerging resistance to multiple available antimicrobial agents has hampered the ability to treat tuberculosis and hospital-acquired respiratory infections. The laboratory diagnosis of respiratory infections is an important part of patient management and treatment. In addition to culture isolation of pathogens, advances have been made in a number of non-culture methods. This issue of Clinics in Laboratory Medicinee reviews state-of-the-art laboratory diagnosis of respiratory infections, as well as the testing of susceptibility to antibiotics and antiviral agents. Among some of the respiratory infections covered are: Cystic fibrosis infections; Pertussis; Pharyngitis; Fungal infections. Among the diagnostic tests are: Interferon gamma release assays; Molecuar diagnosis of TB; Urine antigen tests and discussion of Antibiotic resistance in nosocomial respiratory infections.

      La diététique est aujourd'hui, plus que jamais, une branche majeure de la thérapeutique. Confortée par les avancées physiopathologiques, les enquêtes épidémiologiques et les études d'intervention randomisées, la diététique va de pair avec l'arme pharmacologique dont elle en consolide les actions et permet parfois même d'en différer la mise en oeuvre. La diététique a une place privilégiée en prévention primaire, participe du traitement de nombreuses maladies, et en est parfois le traitement exclusif comme dans certaines maladies innées du métabolisme ou de la maladie coeliaque. Cependant, le recours à la diététique est souvent contraint par la lenteur et la difficulté de sa prescription qui fait appel à des connaissances spécifiques. Ce manuel de diététique a pour objectif de mettre à la portée des médecins de tous horizons et des diététicien(ne)s l'argumentaire et les clefs permettant l'élaboration d'une intervention diététique efficace et pertinente. Des fiches diététiques pour les prescripteurs facilitent l'applicabilité du régime décrit dans chaque situation, qu'il s'agisse de l'équilibre alimentaire, des maladies métaboliques, digestives, cardio-vasculaires, rénales, du cancer ou des intolérances alimentaires et des allergies. Les 55 fiches diététiques de l'ouvrage peuvent être téléchargées et imprimées sur le minisite www.em-consulte.com.

      Logically organized by taxonomic groups, this up-to-date text covers the diagnosis and treatment of all zoo animal species and free-ranging wildlife, including amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and fish, unlikely to be seen by private practice veterinarians. Featuring full-color images, the consistent, user-friendly format supplies information on each animal’s biology, unique anatomy, special physiology, reproduction, restraint and handling, housing requirements, nutrition and feeding, surgery and anesthesia, diagnostics, therapeutics, and diseases. Global authorship includes multinational contributors who offer expert information on different species from around the world. "This is a welcome update to an invaluable reference series; a must-have for any veterinary professional working largely in the zoo or wildlife field, and also recommended as a reference text for the library of any practice seeing unusual species on a regular basis, even if they already have an earlier volume."Reviewed by: Charlotte Day on behalf of The Veterinary Record, Oct 14

      Over the past several decades, advances in neonatal nutrition have focused on the provision of early parenteral nutrition and the development of formulas and supplements that most closely approximate maternal breast milk. The overall outcomes for infants, including premature infants, have greatly benefited from these advances, but there are still many nutritional unknowns that impact the lives of neonates. This is an exciting time in neonatal nutrition as the focus has shifted from survival and growth, which are still important goals, to effects of each micro/macronutrient on development, prevention of disease states such as ROP, the effects of neonatal nutrition on future health as an adult, and opportunities to improve long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes by optimal early nutrition. This issue focuses on aspects of enteral and parenteral nutrition that are at the forefront of neonatal care: assessing growth, parenteral nutrition components (including alternate lipid formulations), optimal storage and use of human milk (including donor milk), post-discharge nutrition, and the effects of various micro/macronutrients on long-term developmental outcomes. It is anticipated that the study and implementation of many of these novel concepts into the care of neonates, many of whom are severely premature, will be of value to practitioners, researchers, and, most of all, patients.
