    • Visceral Vascular Manipulations

      This work demonstrates a novel approach to visceral osteopathy. Basing their ideas on anatomy and physiology, Jean-Pierre Barral and Alain Croibier propose manipulation of the arteries to treat the intestines and other internal organs by increasing their blood flow. The arteries, elastic and muscular in structure, and the innumerable nerve filaments which surround them, react ideally to manual treatment. To be effective, however, these manipulations must be specific and precise. Thanks to the authors’ long experience as therapists, their mastery of osteopathic techniques and the aid of ultrasound technology, they have devised innovative techniques to improve the visceral vascular circulation. In this book the authors show the various sites of the principle pulses of the body and summarise the physiology of the circulation of the blood. The main organs and their physiology are addressed and include the heart, pancreas, small intestine, colon and other abdominal structures as well as the regions of the neck, skull and pelvic cavity. Rich in detailed, high quality illustrations, this book serves as both an anatomical reference and a guide to carrying out visceral vascular manipulations in the most effective way possible. The work is aimed at experienced osteopaths as well as those in training, and at other manual therapists who wish to widen their scope.

      Nos comportements alimentaires s'inscrivent dans notre histoire dès notre conception et sont empreints de marques sensorielles, affectives et environnementales qui évoluent au cours de notre vie et peuvent perturber ces comportements. Ceci peut se produire dès le plus jeune âge et engendrer des difficultés de prise en charge et des questionnements pour les professionnels de santé confrontés à ces troubles. Troubles qui justifient, pour la majorité d'entre eux, des approches spécialisées médicales, psychiatriques et psychothérapeutiques... encore méconnues de nombreux intervenants de la santé mentale. Ce sont toutes ces approches spécialisées qui sont décrites dans cet ouvrage, véritable outil de travail, qui propose une analyse complète de ces troubles du comportement alimentaire chez les plus jeunes patients, du nourrisson au pré-adolescent. Ce livre didactique offre une approche pluridisciplinaire rigoureuse des troubles, basée sur les données scientifiques les plus récentes et sur l'expérience clinique des auteurs et donne aux professionnels de la santé de l'enfant et du pré-adolescent (psychiatres, psychologues, pédiatres, diététiciens) toutes les clés nécessaires pour leur exercice dans ce domaine.

      Le scanner et l'IRM ont considérablement modifié la prise en charge des patients ayant une pathologie cardiaque connue ou suspectée et la première édition de cet ouvrage à succès avait permis de poser toutes les bases de ces nouvelles techniques. Cette 2e édition a considérablement évolué avec une iconographie très largement renouvelée et 60 vidéos accessibles en ligne, permettant au lecteur une meilleure appréhension de ces méthodes d'imagerie morphologiques mais aussi fonctionnelles. Des stratégies diagnostiques sont désormais proposées pour mieux préciser la place du scanner et de l'IRM cardiaque en pratique clinique et de nouveaux chapitres abordent des domaines d'exploration en plein essor : douleur thoracique aigüe, coeur et imagerie thoracique, électrophysiologie. Après des rappels didactiques sur l'anatomie et sur la physiopathologie cardiaque, les techniques du scanner et de l'IRM sont précisées avec des conseils pratiques de réalisation (acquisition et post-traitement). Leur place respective est ensuite développée dans le cadre de la maladie coronaire : imagerie des artères coronaires, dépistage de l'ischémie myocardique, diagnostic de l'infarctus du myocarde. Puis la pathologie non ischémique est abordée, qu'il s'agisse des cardiopathies congénitales, des cardiomyopathies et myocardites, des tumeurs, de l'imagerie du péricarde ou des valves. Les radiologues en formation ou confirmés, ainsi que les cardiologues et tous les médecins impliqués en cardiologie, trouveront dans cet ouvrage les éléments techniques et sémiologiques pour maîtriser ces techniques et leurs indications.
