      Since it was first published, Accident and Emergency Radiology: A Survival Guide has become the classic in-my-pocket-referen... and an indispensable aid to all those who work in the Emergency Department. The core and substantial value lies in the step-by-step analytical approaches which help you to answer this question: "These images look normal to me, but . . . how can I be sure that I am not missing a subtle but important abnormality?" "This book will provide essential reading and support to A&E trainees, medical students, radiology trainees, reporting radiographers and clinical nurse specialists, all of whom may be faced with trauma cases requiring accurate diagnosis and treatment." Reviewed by: RAD Magazine Feb 2015 "... Very nearly flawless...contains just the right amount of information to accommodate readers from trainees through to consultant or attending level."

      Parler deux ou plusieurs langues est une réalité bien vivante et un phénomène qui a toujours existé mais qui à l'heure de l'Europe et de la mondialisation prend, pour diverses raisons, de plus en plus d'ampleur. Prendre en charge un enfant qui est, ou est devenu, bilingue ou multilingue ne va pas de soi et soulève de nombreuses interrogations dont la plus récurrente est comment faire la part entre un décalage éventuel dû au bilinguisme et une vraie pathologie du langage ? Cet ouvrage se propose de résoudre un certain nombre de ces interrogations. Une première partie expose l'état de la recherche, décrit certains programmes mis en place pour favoriser l'apprentissage des langues et aborde des études réalisées sur ce thème. Une deuxième partie apporte des éléments de réponse aux professionnels confrontés aux enfants multilingues et à leurs parents : comment les recevoir (surtout si on ne parle pas leur langue), comment pratiquer un bilan, quels tests appliquer et que valent ces tests, comment établir un diagnostic et quelles remédiations proposer. Ce livre s'adresse aux orthophonistes logopèdes, psychologues, neurolinguistes, enseignants, traducteurs, parents et étudiants de toute obédience. Un mot du titre : le terme bilinguisme ne correspondant plus à la réalité actuelle, notre choix s'est porté sur multilinguisme dans son acception la plus large : le fait qu'un individu soit capable de parler plusieurs langues quelles qu'en soient les raisons et les modalités.

      Now in its fifth edition, this seminal textbook for occupational therapy students and practitioners has retained the comprehensive detail of previous editions with significant updates, including the recovery approach informed by a social perspective. Emerging settings for practice are explored and many more service users have been involved as authors, writing commentaries on 14 chapters. All chapters are revised and there are also new chapters, such as mental health and wellbeing, professional accountability, intersectionality, green care and working with marginalized populations. Chapter 11 is written by two people who have received occupational therapy, examining different perspectives on the experience of using services. This edition is divided into clear sections, exploring theory and practice issues in detail. The first section covers the historical, theoretical and philosophical basis for occupational therapy in the promotion of mental health and wellbeing. The second section examines the occupational therapy process, followed by a third section on ensuring quality in contemporary practice. The fourth section offers insights into issues arising from the changing contexts for occupational therapy including an analysis of the implications for occupational therapy education. The fifth section has eight chapters on specific occupations that can be applied across the varied settings which are covered in the sixth and final section. Occupational Therapy and Mental Health is essential reading for students and practitioners across all areas of health and/or social care, in statutory, private or third (voluntary) sectors, and in institutional and community-based settings. "The book manages to pack a great deal into the 500 or so pages and is highly recommended for those new to occupational therapy and mental health as it provides a valuable and broad overview of the subject."

      Gout is now the most common form of inflammatory arthritis in the United States, with a recent resurgence of research interest in its cause and management. Calcium crystal-related arthritis has also attracted renewed attention, with new nomenclature having been recently elaborated, aiding contemporary research efforts. This topic has never been covered in Rheumatic Disease Clinics and it represents a large content hole. The articles will cover diagnosis, management, emerging therapies and imaging.

    • Uvéites : 49 questions cliniques

      L'uvéite, troisième cause de cécité évitable dans les pays développés, peut survenir à cause d'un traumatisme, d'une infection, d'une auto-immunité ou d'une affection tumorale. La prise en charge d'une uvéite reste un défi potentiellement difficile auquel sont confrontés de nombreux ophtalmologistes. La complexité des étiologies et le nombre de plus en plus important de stratégies thérapeutiques imposent une bonne appréhension de chaque situation clinique rencontrée. La présentation des différentes situations cliniques sous forme de questions courtes et pratiques contribue à l'originalité de ce livre. En effet, chaque spécialiste participant à l'ouvrage apporte des réponses précises et didactiques à des cas spécifiques tels que « Comment est-ce que je traite une uvéite chez une femme enceinte ou allaitante ? », « Quelles sont les étiologies à évoquer en priorité devant une uvéite aiguë hypertensive ? », « Comment est-ce que je traite un patient avec une toxoplasmose oculaire ? » Ce livre, coordonné par C. Stephen Foster, spécialiste de renommée mondiale dans ce domaine et auteur de plusieurs traités sur le sujet, est rendu d'autant plus efficace par le grand nombre d'illustrations (photographies, tableaux de synthèse) et d'autant plus convivial par le style qui rappelle des échanges entre confrères.
