      L'échocardiographie Doppler est devenue un outil clinique indispensable d'exploration non invasive du cœur. Elle a révolutionné la pratique cardiologique courante. En perpétuelle innovation, cette technique ultrasonore constitue actuellement un axe fondamental de la démarche diagnostique ainsi que de l'orientation thérapeutique et pronostique en cardiologie. Cet ouvrage unique, de par son organisation tripartite, permet de passer en revue l'ensemble des techniques d'échocardiographie. Allant des technologies dites classiques jusqu'aux systèmes d'explorations de demain, il propose un panorama exhaustif des techniques d'imagerie cardiaque ultrasonores. Organisé en trois parties distinctes, il offre : - Un rappel des techniques d'exploration traditionnelles, telles que l'échocardiographie transthoracique et transoesophagienne, tout en conservant un chapitre détaillé sur le Doppler tissulaire et l'échographie de stress ; - Un examen approfondi des techniques nouvelles à l'instar de l'échocardiographie tridimensionnelle, intracardiaque ou encore peropératoire. Deux chapitres singuliers sont axés autour de l'imagerie de déformation de Strain et de Color Kinetic ; Enfin, une dernière partie offre une mise en perspective grâce aux techniques futures, encore peu pratiquées en routine, tels que l'échocardiographie 4D, le Strain 3D ou encore la télééchocardiographi... Richement illustré par plus de 250 schémas et figures, cet ouvrage didactique s'adresse aussi bien au cardiologue confirmé, au médecin débutant qu'au technicien d'imagerie médicale.

      Prepared by an international authority, Therapeutic Stretching: Towards a Functional Approach offers a highly accessible account of the latest information regarding the role of therapeutic stretching in the management of restricted range of movement (ROM) disorders. Richly illustrated throughout, this exciting new volume covers the physiological basis of stretching, explores its classification and examines what is normal and abnormal in terms of ROM. Chapters then explain the processes that are associated with ROM loss and recovery as well as what makes stretching effective. The experience of pain, sensitization and pain tolerance in relation to stretching and ROM recovery are also discussed. Embracing the latest scientific research, this revolutionary book debunks many traditionally accepted stretching theories and associated techniques and supplants them with a more robust, scientifically valid system of practice. Accompanied by a range of practical on-line videos and over 150 photographs, this volume will be ideal for all manual and physical therapists, sports and personal trainers, and athletes who require special movement ranges. "This is a highly enjoyable and well presented book that I recommend for any clinician from student to experienced practitioner. It is suitable for all physiotherapists, manual therapists, sports physiotherapists/the... strength and conditioning coaches, sports scientists, athletes and patients who would like to understand, recover and improve their range and ease of movement."

      The second edition of this book is virtually a new book. It is the only comprehensive text on the safety of essential oils, the first review of essential oil/drug interactions, and it provides detailed essential oil constituent data not found in any other text. Much of the existing text has been re-written, and 80% of the text is completely new. There are 400 comprehensive essential oil profiles and almost 4000 references. There are new chapters on the respiratory system, the cardiovascular system, the urinary system, the digestive system and the nervous system. For each essential oil there is a full breakdown of constituents, and a clear categorization of hazards and risks, with recommended maximum doses and concentrations. There are also 206 Constituent Profiles. There is considerable discussion of carcinogens, the human relevance of some of the animal data, the validity of treating an essential oil as if it was a single chemical, and the arbitrary nature of uncertainty factors. There is a critique of current regulations.
