    • English
    Innovative Targeting Strategies in Breast Cancer Therapy is a comprehensive reference addressing the challenge of non-specific drug distribution in the body, along with severe toxicity and adverse effects, by offering insights into targeted breast cancer treatment. It further educates researchers on formulating and developing novel carriers with target-specific attributes (such as targeted liposomes, nanoparticles, micelles, and dendrimers), contributing to a more refined approach to breast cancer. This book's content is presented in 12 chapters. The first chapters introduces the reader to the different breast cancer therapies followed by indepth information on targeting . Recognizing the need for targeted drug delivery in breast cancer treatment, this book presents an encompassing compilation of advanced research and formulation strategies. By focusing on effectively targeting cancer cells, the book mitigates dose-related toxicity associated with cytotoxic drugs, providing a comprehensive resource for improved treatment approaches. Research in oncology, pharmacology, medical researchers, biomedical engineers and clinical professionals will find this an essential reference.

    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. POINTS CLÉSComprendre les mécanismes physiologiques, neurobiologiques et chronobiologiques du sommeil en lien avec la santé mentale.Repérer les troubles du sommeil associés aux principales pathologies psychiatriques et leur impact sur le diagnostic et la prise en charge.Proposer une stratégie thérapeutique adaptée au trouble et au patient.Pierre Alexis Geoffroy, est professeur des universités à l’université Paris Cité et praticien hospitalier au sein du département de psychiatrie et addictologie de l’hôpital Bichat-Claude Bernard et du 22e secteur du GHU Paris psychiatrie et neurosciences.
