  • Uvéites : 49 questions cliniques
    • 1st Edition
    • C. Stephen Foster + 2 more
    • French
    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.

  • Headache in Otolaryngology: Rhinogenic and Beyond, An Issue of Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 47-2
    • Howard Levine
    • English
    Patients present to physicians with headache or facial pain and are certain that it is a “sinus headache.” Specialists of all types - otolaryngologists, allergists, neurologists, internists, and emergency physicians are confronted almost daily with these patients. “Headache in Otolaryngology: Rhinogenic and Beyond” describes headaches ascribed to other causes - migraine as well as headaches that actually are a result of sinusitis. This volume addresses the need for expertise of an otolaryngologist who can obtain a history of nasal and sinus disease, evaluate the interior of the nose, and correlate it to a computed tomographic (CT) scan, along with collaboration of neurologists/headach... specialists. Because headaches are often a symptom of potentially dangerous medical conditions that may need emergency work-up and referral to the appropriate physician, information in this volume identifies these emergency conditions for the clinician. Topics include: Confusion about sinus headache; Diagnosing Adult and Pediatric Headache; Imaging for the headache patient; TMJ head pain; Signs of dangerous headache; Vertiginous headache; Rhinogenic headache; Medical treatment of headache; and Surgery for headache.

  • African Skin and Hair Disorders, An Issue of Dermatologic Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 32-2
    • Nonhlanhla P Khumalo
    • English
    People of African ancestry have sensitive skin and may suffer from a wide variety of skin disorders. Hair disorders are also common and differ from those suffered by Caucasians. This issue of the Dermatologic Clinics focuses on the most common skin and hair disorders seen in black skin, with articles focusing on acne scarring, alopecia, keloids, and skin pigmentation. There are also articles addressing moisturizers for the skin and the effect of hair treatments on the hair and scalp. Also discussed is the sociohistoric issues that can cloud the scientific understanding of clinical entities. Emphasis is often put on race and yet a very clear distinction should be made between race and quantifiable entities such as pigment and hair curl as determinants for skin/hair disease predilection; this is quite distinct from race as a surrogate for social class and a disease determinant for most medical conditions and malignancies.

  • Disaster and Trauma, An Issue of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 23-2
    • Stephen J. Cozza
    • English
    An overview of childhood traumatic exposures and their impact for health care providers - child and adolescent psychiatrists, general psychiatrists, other pediatric behavioral health providers and primary care clinicians - is presented. Most clinicians are unaware that children in the United States are exposed to trauma frequently, either as a single occurrence, or through repeated events. These exposures result in neurobiological, developmental and clinical sequelae that can undermine children's health and well-being. This issue describes the multiple types of traumatic exposures and their sequelae, methods of screening and assessment, and principles of effective prevention and clinical treatment. The volume highlights areas of particular relevance to children, such as natural disasters, war, domestic violence, school and community violence, sexual victimization, and complex trauma. Each is differentiated as a unique trauma, requiring trauma-informed systems of care to effectively meet the needs of the exposed population. Since traumatic exposure results in added risk to child well-being, the third section of the volume describes strategies for primary prevention (e.g. violence prevention) and risk mitigation (e.g. skill and resilience building strategies), as well as reviews evidence based treatments for trauma-induced clinical disorders.
