  • Diététique en pratique médicale courante

    Avec fiches repas téléchargeables sur un minisite Internet
    • 1st Edition
    • Jean-Louis Schlienger
    • French
    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.

  • Facilitating Aging in Place: Safe, Sound, and Secure, An Issue of Nursing Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 49-2
    • Lazelle E. Benefield
    • English
    The articles appearing in this geriatrics-focused issue are consistent with the collaborative and translational concepts held by a life course perspective. Each supports interprofessional collaboration and some are either authored or coauthored by interdisciplinary colleagues. Three goals are reflected in these articles: keeping community-dwelling older adults safe, sensible, and secure with solutions that will enable them to stay healthy, wise, and aware. Topics include maintaining physical functions, benefits and consequences of weight-bearing exercise on foot health; cancer prevention; managing nocturia’s effect on sleep quality and safety; protection from financial exploitation; and providing safe and affordable living environments. Several articles address physical or cognitive challenges that include monitoring medication adherence, threat of anxiety and stigma in dementia, and approaches to managing self-care in the home for persons with dementia. These evidence-based articles address emerging and best practices to support targeted interventions for persons in community-dwelling home settings. They provide a frame-work of person-centered approaches that foster good health in older age, a central tenet of aging in place and the global response to population aging.

  • Current Concepts in Neonatal Nutrition, An Issue of Clinics in Perinatology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 41-2
    • Brenda Poindexter
    • English
    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.

Topics include Assessment; Mental illness and sexual offending; Treatment of sexual offenders-Psychologi... and Pharmacological; Professional sexual misconduct including clergy; Adolescent sexual offenders; Child pornography and sexual deviance; Sexual sadism and sexually motivated homicide; Dysfunctional anger and sexual violence; and Ethical issues in the treatment of sexual offenders.

  • Nutrition in Critical Illness, An Issue of Critical Nursing Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 26-2
    • Miranda Kelly
    • English
    Nutrition is an important aspect of care for any patient entering the hospital, but the patient admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) is at an even higher risk for nutritional compromise. Nutrition affects all ages, from the neonate to the geriatric patient, and all patient populations. Evidence-based practice guidelines regarding appropriate nutritional support within the critical care setting are published. Yet, researchers continue to identify that despite published evidence, countless ICU patients continue to lack adequate and timely nutritional support on admission. Each of the authors in this issue promotes nutrition in their careers and individual practice areas, which brings knowledge from many different arenas throughout the nation. This issue discusses nutrition throughout the lifespan, special patient populations, implementation of guidelines, and how nutrition is being utilized as medical therapy.
