  • Sommeil et santé mentale

    Troubles du sommeil et des rythmes biologiques associés aux troubles psychiatriques
    • 1st Edition
    • Pierre-Alexis GEOFFROY
    • French
    Les monographies en Psychiatrie sont des ouvrages de référence sur les troubles psychiatriques et les grandes problématiques de la discipline. Ellespermettent aux praticiens d’approfondir et d’actualiser leurs connaissances, en exposant les données fondamentales actuelles et leurs applications dansla pratique clinique. Le sommeil, pilier essentiel de la santé mentale, reste encore trop souvent sous-estimé dans la pratique psychiatrique. Pourtant, ces troubles sont omniprésents et intimement liés à de nombreux troubles psychiatriques, qu’il s’agisse des troubles de l’humeur, anxieux, psychotiques, neurodéveloppementau... des addictions ou encore des troubles des conduites alimentaires. Le véritable enjeu réside aujourd’hui dans la compréhension fine des mécanismes physiologiques et neurobiologiques du sommeil, afin d’améliorer le diagnostic, la prise en charge et la prévention des troubles psychiatriques associés. Les récentes avancées enneurosciences, en génétique et en chronobiologie offrent des perspectives inédites : il devient crucial d’intégrer pleinement la dimension du sommeil au cœur de la psychiatrie moderne, pour proposer des soins plus précis et personnalisés.Premie... ouvrage de référence en langue française sur le sujet, il offre une exploration complète des liens entre le sommeil, les rythmes biologiques et la santé mentale, structurée en trois parties essentielles. La première partie pose les bases fondamentales et cliniques du sommeil et de ses troubles en psychiatrie, en abordant différents champs : l’histoire, la physiologie, la neurobiologie, la clinique, l’épidémiologie, la psychométrie, ainsi que l’organisation du systèmede soins. La seconde partie se concentre sur les altérations du sommeil associées aux différents troubles psychiatriques, allant de l’enfant au sujet âgé. Elle propose également une sémiologie clinique éclairée par les dernières données scientifiques et des recommandations d’experts, des stratégies de diagnostic et des outils innovants. Enfin, une troisième partie traitent des prises en charge de ces troubles du sommeil et des rythmes biologiques en psychiatrie, avec des approches thérapeutiques variées et détaillées, allant de la pharmacothérapie aux psychothérapies et aux chronothérapeutiques... ouvrage est un outil indispensable aux psychiatres, psychologues, médecins d’autres spécialités impliqués dans la médecine du sommeil, chercheurs, étudiants, ainsi qu’à tous ceux qui souhaitent approfondir leurs connaissances et leur pratique, dans ce domaine en pleine expansion. Cet ouvrage s’adresse à un large public professionnel. À la croisée de la psychiatrie, de la psychologie, de la physiologie, des neurosciences et de la médecine du sommeil, Sommeil et santé mentale a pour ambition d’offrir des repères solides et des outils pratiques pour mieux comprendre, diagnostiquer et traiter les troubles du sommeil en psychiatrie.

  • Functional Connectivity of the Human Brain

    From Mechanisms to Clinical Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Maria A. Rocca + 1 more
    • English
    Functional Connectivity of the Human Brain: From Mechanisms to Clinical Applications is a comprehensive review of mechanisms and analysis of methods of functional connectivity to map brain organization in healthy individuals and sick patients. Providing full coverage of the discipline for a wide audience of different research and clinical specialists, this volume begins with descriptions of mechanisms of functional connectivity and methodological approaches to quantify it, followed by a focus on how functional connectivity has been used to describe brain function in healthy people and to characterize network disruption in diseased conditions. This practical balance in book structure is suitable for readers with a technical or clinical orientation, providing background that is easy to approach for clinicians or scientists. Chapters examine fMRI and electrophysiological techniques, brain maturation, aging, and cognitive neurosciences, as well as functional connectivity in neuroinflammatory, neurodegenerative, and neuropsychiatric conditions. Future perspectives look forward to functional connectivity in multimodal analysis, artificial intelligence, and more. This book will be of use to a wide audience working on functional connectivity experiments, as well as any courses on the topic.

  • Vestibular Schwannomas

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 212
    • English
    Vestibular Schwannomas covers multiple facets of vestibular schwannomas, including advancements in surgical techniques, radiological innovations, long-term patient outcomes, and implications for hearing preservation. It serves as a comprehensive guide for clinicians and researchers aiming to enhance diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic strategies in managing these complex tumors which are benign, slow-growing tumors that originate from the Schwann cells that line the vestibular nerve. They are the most prevalent neoplasms found in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA), the critical junction between the cerebellum and the brainstem.Their incidence, clinical presentation, and impact on surrounding neurological structures make them a focal point of research and medical intervention. Understanding their etiology, diagnosis, and treatment options requires an interdisciplinary approach bridging neurology, otology, and radiology.
