  • Endométriose

    Diagnostic et prise en charge
    • 1st Edition
    • Erick Petit + 3 more
    • French
    Cet ouvrage consacré à l’endométriose a pour objectif de rassembler les connaissances actuelles sur le sujet et de donner au praticien les clés pour répondre aux différentes situations cliniques. La prise en charge de l’endométriose est un thème majeur de santé publique dont l’enjeu épidémiologique est conséquent : la pathologie touche 10 à 20 % des femmes. Il s’agit de la première cause d’infertilité en France alors même qu’il faut en moyenne sept ans pour établir le diagnostic. Le livre structuré en neuf parties constitue une mise au point didactique sur le sujet. Richement illustré, il détaille ainsi les aspects épidémiologiques et physiopathologiques, intégrant l’exploration, et aborde toutes les formes d’endométriose, du diagnostic à la prise en charge (traitements médicamenteux, non-médicamenteux, chirurgicaux). Il traite également les spécificités liées à l’adolescence, la fertilité et la grossesse mais aussi le versant psychologique de la maladie notamment associé à la douleur. À partir de leur expérience clinique et des données scientifiques les plus récentes, les auteurs, spécialistes de l’endométriose, tentent de répondre aux questions des professionnels de santé pour pouvoir ainsi offrir à chaque femme une prise en charge personnalisée.

    Edited by expert academics and educators, Brett Williams and Linda Ross, and written by content specialists and experienced clinicians, this essential resource encourages readers to see the links between the pathophysiology of a disease, how this creates the signs and symptoms and how these should to be managed in the out-of-hospital environment. Additionally, Paramedic Principles and Practice 2e will arm readers with not only technical knowledge and expertise, but also the non-technical components of providing emergency care, including professional attitudes and behaviours, decision-making, teamwork and communication skills.

    Cet ouvrage écrit par les spécialistes du domaine s’adresse aux médecins et à tous les professionnels impliqués en protection de l’enfance. Précis et didactique, il fournira à ces praticiens : des indications sur les actions à entreprendre face aux situations de violences sur les enfants et adolescents ;les démarches à suivre pour une prise en charge médico-judiciaire adaptée à leur particulière vulnérabilité ;des réponses à deux voix aux différentes problématiques soulevées dans le domaine de la pédiatrie médico-légale ;les perspectives de développement dans la recherche fondamentale, les diagnostics, la formation, ou encore les dispositifs administratifs et judiciaires qui encadrent la protection de l’enfance.Les objectifs de cet ouvrage sont de favoriser le développement d’une double compétence entre médecine légale et pédiatrie et d’établir un cadre de réflexion pluri-professionnel dans le respect des champs de compétences de chacun. Fort du double éclairage, prise en charge pédiatrique et connaissances des pratiques médico-judiciaires, il apporte aux médecins hospitaliers ou libéraux des réponses concrètes, du repérage à l’expertise. Les actions et les démarches à mettre en oeuvre sont précisément évoquées dans la rubrique « Points clés » située au début de chaque chapitre. Cet ouvrage permet aussi aux professionnels de tous horizons, travaillant en protection de l’enfance de s’approprier le sujet de la santé de façon transversale. Fondée en 2016 par un collectif de 10 pédiatres et médecins légistes, la Société Française de Pédiatrie Médico-Légale (SFPML) préconise une pratique éthique au service des mineurs et prend également en considération les spécificités pédiatriques afférentes aux situations de risque et de danger. Un panel de 65 spécialistes livre ici le fruit de son expérience professionnelle afin de dresser un panorama de la pédiatrie médico-légale. Cet ouvrage est une aide indispensable pour les praticiens débutants ou confirmés et les professionnels travaillant en protection de l’enfance dans leur accompagnement des enfants et des familles exposés à ces problématiques.
