    CET OUVRAGE A REÇU LE PRIX PRIX HERMANN FISCHGOLD 2012 Le scanner et l'IRM ont complètement révolutionné l'étude morphologique et fonctionnelle du système nerveux, modifiant également l'approche thérapeutique des pathologies cranio-encéphaliques et contribuant aux progrès de la neurochirurgie. Ces techniques, conjuguées aux dernières innovations (imagerie par tenseur de diffusion, tractographie, imagerie fonctionnelle, spectroscopie, angio-IRM dynamique, scanner multibarrette, etc.), mettent à la disposition du radiologue des outils performants, à condition de maîtriser à la fois techniques, données cliniques et pathologies à rechercher. Ce traité a ainsi pour objectif d'établir une synthèse des connaissances de la neuroradiologie diagnostique. Radiologues et cliniciens sont invités à évaluer les apports de l'imagerie neuroradiologique appliquée successivement aux accidents vasculaires cérébraux, aux lésions tumorales, aux dysfonctionnements de la région sellaire et aux autres pathologies cérébrales de nature infectieuse, dégénérative ou congénitale. D'autre part, l'ouvrage éclaire le praticien sur les erreurs diagnostiques, oriente ses interprétations et l'aide à déterminer la technique d'imagerie la plus performante en fonction de la pathologie étudiée. Le succès de la 1re édition et les avancées permanentes dans ce domaine imposaient une nouvelle édition de ce traité. Fruit d'une collaboration étroite entre spécialistes de renom, riche de plus de 3 500 iconographies, dont plus de 500 nouveaux clichés présentant les dernières techniques (angio-IRM, pet-scan, imagerie de perfusion, imagerie fonctionnelle, etc.) et de références entièrement à jour des derniers travaux, ce traité constitue la référence française en neuro-imagerie Il est indispensable pour tous les radiologues et neuroradiologues. Parallèlement, les neurologues et neurochirurgiens y trouveront les clés nécessaires au dialogue pluridisciplinaire.

  • Equine Behavior

    A Guide for Veterinarians and Equine Scientists
    • 2nd Edition
    • Paul McGreevy
    • English
    Equine Behavior: A Guide for Veterinarians and Equine Scientists is written for all those who really want to know what makes horses tick. Behavioral problems in the stable and under saddle are of concern to equine veterinarians worldwide because they lead to welfare issues, abuse and ultimately wastage. Equine veterinarians, trainers and handlers must be aware of each horse’s behavior as a first step in detection of problems, whether they are clinical maladies or training issues. As they constantly study their horses’ responses to their environments they are all, in effect, students of horse behavior. Drawing on over 1,000 references, Equine Behavior explores the subject from first principles by considering the behavior of free-ranging horses and considering ways in which management and training influences the responses of domestic horses. All too often veterinarians feel that management of the mental health of equine patients is beyond their expertise. This book addresses many important gaps to enable practitioners to understand how horses can learn to perform unwelcome behaviors and how to change those behaviors where appropriate. The new edition builds on the success of its pioneering predecessor and presents a thorough revision of all chapters to reflect the latest developments in this dynamic field. The chapter on equitation science has been expanded and there have been major revisions to the sections on stereotypic behavior, cognition studies, nutrition and housing. The book remains a must-have purchase for all veterinarians who deal with horses, for equine scientists, trainers and everybody with an interest in the subject.
