  • Constitutional Facial Acupuncture

    • 1st Edition
    • Mary Elizabeth Wakefield
    • English
    We are re-defining the face of ageing on a daily basis, with the Baby Boom generation in the vanguard, followed by younger generations who are similarly intrigued by non-invasive natural solutions that are integrative rather than purely cosmetic. Constitutional Facial Acupuncture has begun to make an impact on popular culture and outmoded perceptions about the nature of authentic beauty and the ageing process. Acupuncturists who practice in this field are increasingly expected to have specialized training and knowledge, outside the customary parameters of the more traditional approaches. This book introduces a complete Constitutional Facial Acupuncture protocol that is comprehensive, effective and clearly organized, with illustrative color photographs and facial needling diagrams. Its strong constitutional components are unique, adhere to the principles of Chinese medicine, and are rooted in the three levels of treatment – Jing, Ying and Wei.

Authored by an internationally-accl... leading expert, it is an evidence-based resource, built upon current scientific knowledge, as well as clinical experience at the cutting-edge of respiratory training in a wide range of settings. The aim of the book is to give readers: 1) an introduction to respiratory physiology and exercise physiology, as well as training theory; 2) an understanding of how disease affects the respiratory muscles and the mechanics of breathing; 3) an insight into the disease-specific, evidence-based benefits of RMT; 4) advice on the application of RMT as a standalone treatment, and as part of a rehabilitation programme; and finally, 5) guidance on the application of functional training techniques to RMT. The book is divided into two parts – theory and practice. Part I provides readers with access to the theoretical building blocks that support practice. It explores the evidence base for RMT as well as the different methods of training respiratory muscles and their respective efficacy. Part II guides the reader through the practical implementation of the most widely validated form of RMT, namely inspiratory muscle resistance training. Finally, over 100 "Functional" IMT exercises are described, which incorporate a stability and/or postural challenge, including exercises that address specific "dyspnoeagenic" movements. Respiratory Muscle Training: theory and practice is supported by a dedicated website (www.physiobreathe.c... which provides access to the latest information on RMT, as well as video clips of all exercises described in the book.

    • 1st Edition

    • English
    Health investigation and treatment have moved from a clinician-centred approach to a patient-centred approach during the past few decades. Patients are now rightly regarded as empowered and informed users of health services, not passive recipients. Motivated by this philosophical shift, this new book identifies the key issues underpinning the complete delivery of ‘good’ patient care and considers their application in the medical radiation sciences. Taking a UK/European perspective, the authors examine how a holistic approach is related to legislation, human rights and perceived patient needs. Medical imaging and radiotherapy are front line services experienced by vast numbers of patients with acute and chronic medical conditions, including trauma and cancer. The book includes coverage of behavioural science and health psychology together with practical applications such as safe manual handling, infection control and radiation safety. This provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of what contributes to the patient’s experience in diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy. It also considers other aspects of the patient experience, such as inter-professional team working, disability, communication, clinical procedures and practice.

Schnelle Orientierung: Durch die klare Gliederung und die Einführung von Überschriften zu den Paragraphen erschließen sich die Inhalte dem Leser optimal; er kann sich aber auch jeder Zeit in den Original-Quellentext vertiefen, wenn er dies für nötig hält. Verbindung von Theorie und Praxis: Besonders für den Anfänger (u.a. Prüflinge für die Zusatzbezeichnung Homöopathie) wird klar, welche Auswirkungen die jeweiligen Hahnemannschen Paragraphen auf die heutige Arbeit der homöopathisch tätigen Therapeuten haben! Situation: Das "Organon der Heilkunst" von Hahnemann bildet auch heute noch die verbind-liche, theoretische Grundlage für alle homöopathisch arbeitenden Therapeuten. Eine genaue Kenntnis dieses Werkes ist unumgänglich. Das Organon wurde 1842 von Hahnemann, dem Begründer der Homöopathie verfasst, konnte aber erst im Jahre 1921 publiziert werden. Ver-schiedene Fassungen liegen vor, die am meisten verbreitete Version ist die Standardausgabe der 6. Auflage, bearbeitet und herausgegeben von Josef M. Schmidt. Dieses Werk garantiert maximale "Originaltexttreue" ist aber durch die altertümliche Sprache und ohne entsprechen-de philologische Vorbildung sehr schwer lesbar. Zielsetzung: Hahnemanns Organon der Heilkunst soll auf lange Sicht das Organon aus dem Haug-Verlag ersetzen und zum Standardwerk des Homöopathie-Grundlag... werden. Besonders sollen diejenigen angesprochen werden, die sich mit der Homöopathie beschäfti-gen, aber kein jahrelanges, fundiertes homöopathisches Literaturstudium betrieben haben, also typische Praktiker und Einsteiger. Dieses Werk soll aber auch höchsten Qualitätsansprüchen gerecht werden, was durch die Wahl des Verfassers - Herrn Dr. Schmidt, dem anerkannten Experten auf diesem Gebiet - garantiert wird. Herr Dr. Schmidt verbindet optimal fundierte Kenntnisse zu Philosophie und Medizingeschichte mit der praktischen homöopathi-schen Medizin. Aufbau: Das Buch wird in zwei Teile gegliedert. Im ersten Teil wird das Organon nach den ursprünglichen Paragraphen geordnet dargestellt, zusätzlich werden die Inhalte der Paragraphen in klarer moderner Sprache (kurze Sätze, zeit-gemäße Formulierungen) zusammengefasst. Durch ein klares, einheitliches Layout sind Quel-lentext und Zusammenfassung deutlich voneinander abgegrenzt (z.B. Kasten, farblich hinter-legt, unterschiedliche Schriften). Der Originaltext wurde vom Autor vorsichtig und mit großer Textsicherheit unserem heutigen Sprachgebrauch angepasst. Durch neu generierte Überschriften, die jeweils Sinn-Einheiten zusammenfassen, wird der Text sinnvoll gegliedert. Diese Überschriften werden zusätzlich in Form eines Inhaltsverzeich-niss... dem Text vorangestellt und ermöglichen durch diese neue Strukturierung eine rasche Orientierung und eine logische Erschließung der Inhalte. -> Aus dem unübersichtlichen Aufbau des Originalwerkes wird ein modernes, heutigen Standards entsprechendes Lehrbuch! Ein zweiter Teil behandelt die Grundthemen der heute praktizierten Homöopathie. Verweise verknüpfen Teil 1 und Teil 2 des Buches miteinander. Durch diese Vernetzung entsteht ein völlig neuer Zugang zu dem historischen Quellentext, ausgehend von der heutigen homöopa-thischen Praxis.

  • Gua sha

    A Traditional Technique for Modern Practice
    • 2nd Edition
    • Arya Nielsen
    • English
    ‘Sometimes called coining, spooning or scraping, Gua sha is defined as instrument-assisted unidirectional press stroking of a lubricated area of the body surface that intentionally creates ‘transitory therapeutic petechiae’ representing extravasation of blood in the subcutis.’ Gua sha has been used for centuries in Asia, in Asian immigrant communities and by acupuncturists and practitioners of traditional East Asian medicine worldwide. With the expansion of traditional East Asian medicine, Gua sha has been used over broad geographic areas and by millions of people. It is valuable in the treatment of pain and for functional problems with impaired movement, the prevention and treatment of acute infectious illness, upper respiratory and digestive problems, and many acute or chronic disorders. Research has demonstrated Gua sha radically increases surface microperfusion that stimulates immune and anti-inflammatory responses that persist for days after treatment. The second edition expands on the history of Gua sha and similar techniques used in early Western Medicine, detailing traditional theory, purpose and application and illuminated by science that focuses its relevance to modern clinical practice as well as scholarly inquiry. This book brings the technique alive for practitioners, with clear discussion of how to do it –including correct technique, appropriate application, individualization of treatment – and when to use it, with over 50 case examples, and superb color photographs and line drawings that demonstrate the technique.

    Le présent ouvrage constitue à la fois une référence et un outil de travail précieux. Il propose une approche par pathologies classées par systèmes, selon un plan précis : les généralités, les critères de choix et la stratégie thérapeutique, l'optimisation thérapeutique, « ce qu'il faut retenir » et des études de cas cliniques pour l'application des connaissances. Les généralités regroupent la physiopathologie et les médicaments utilisés dans la pathologie. Les critères de choix et la stratégie thérapeutique sont développés en fonction de la sévérité de la pathologie, du terrain et des éventuels traitements associés. L'optimisation thérapeutique concerne les posologies, l'administration (voie d'administration, conseils, incompatibilités) les mises en garde, les précautions d'emploi et la prévention de l'iatropathologie (prévention des risques majeurs et des effets indésirables). L'encadré « Ce qu'il faut retenir » expose l'essentiel du chapitre et en permet une révision générale. Enfin, un ou plusieurs cas cliniques accompagnés de questions générales ou à choix multiples sont traités. Les réponses sont accompagnées de commentaires, reprenant les points importants du chapitre. Avec ses nombreux tableaux, ses études de cas cliniques conformes aux dossiers biologiques et thérapeutiques des épreuves de l'internat de pharmacie, cet ouvrage constitue l'outil de travail indispensable pour les étudiants de pharmacie. Il constitue un guide thérapeutique pour les pharmaciens hospitaliers et d'officine, qui trouvent là un ouvrage essentiel pour les accompagner dans leur exercice quotidien. Les médecins pourront également y trouver de précieux renseignements sur l'utilisation optimale des médicaments. Cette 4e édition a été entièrement revue, corrigée et actualisée en particulier concernant les chapitres suivants : sida, traitements du diabète, polyarthrite rhumatoïde, anomalie de la coagulation, ostéoporose, hépatites virales, transplantation, dermatologie, pathologies cardio-vasculaires, insuffisance cardiaque, schizophrénie, nausées et vomissements, la dysthyroïdie, la prostate, l'insuffisance respiratoire chronique, l'eczéma. Des cas cliniques actualisés ou nouveaux ont été introduits, avec des médicaments récents. Les références bibliographiques ont été enrichies. Cette édition est en conformité avec les recommandations figurant dans les résolutions européennes. Écrit par l'Association nationale des enseignants de pharmacie clinique (ANEPC), cet ouvrage est le fruit du travail d'auteurs français, québécois, et quelques pharmaciens praticiens hospitaliers francophones (Belges, Libanais, Tunisiens), et associe, pour un grand nombre de chapitres, un médecin référent dans la pathologie concernée à un (des) pharmacien(s) hospitalier(s) et/ou universitaire(s).

  • The Malalignment Syndrome

    diagnosis and treatment of common pelvic and back pain
    • 2nd Edition
    • Wolf Schamberger
    • English
    Lack of appreciation and knowledge of the malalignment syndrome often leads to a failure to notice the possible aetiological or predisposing factors contributing to many musculoskeletal problems. Recognition of the syndrome by physicians, chiropractors, osteopaths, podiatrists, physiotherapists, kinesiologists, sports trainers and others dealing with patients and athletes (including equine) can help them implement appropriate treatment and training to correct the malalignment and actually prevent the initial occurrence of symptoms. Now in its second edition, The Malalignment Syndrome has established itself as a trusty one-stop reference providing a detailed description of this syndrome and how it can be identified and treated. It concentrates on the trunk, pelvis, spine, sacroiliac joint and legs, incorporating anatomy, biomechanics, stability issues, possible causes, examination and diagnostic techniques as well as a comprehensive treatment approach. Emphasis is also placed on the participation of the patient/athlete in the day-to day treatment process to achieve long-term results.

  • Les dysphasies

    • 1st Edition
    • Christelle Maillart + 3 more
    • French
    L'étude des troubles du langage oral chez l'enfant a connu un développement considérable à partir des années 1970 avec l'essor des recherches en psychologie du langage, en linguistique, et plus récemment dans le domaine des neurosciences et de la génétique. La prise en charge des troubles langagiers fait également l'objet actuellement d'une attention particulière dans la recherche scientifique. L'objectif principal de ce livre est de rendre accessibles les résultats des recherches récentes sur les troubles dits «dysphasiques » aux professionnels concernés par le suivi des enfants présentant cette pathologie. La dysphasie est définie comme un trouble développemental, qui concerne l'élaboration du langage oral, entraînant des difficultés importantes en compréhension et/ou en expression du langage parlé. C'est un trouble spécifique, sévère et persistant qui interfère d'emblée avec la dynamique développementale de l'enfant. La première partie de l'ouvrage expose les approches théoriques de la dysphasie, actuellement débattues dans la littérature scientifique, et dont la synthèse constitue une aide à l'établissement d'un diagnostic précis ou à la construction de programmes de prévention. La seconde partie présente différents types de rééducation, avec des exemples cliniques, et notamment le courant méthodologique EBP (Evidence-Based Practice), littéralement « pratiques basées sur les preuves », qui vise à aider le clinicien à vérifier la pertinence de ses choix. Illustré par des exemples concrets d'interprétation et d'évaluation des troubles, des stratégies d'élaboration du diagnostic, et comportant les recommandations issues de la littérature internationale, cet ouvrage s'adresse à tous les professionnels concernés par les troubles du langage oral et leur prise en charge : orthophonistes, neuropsychologues, médecins rééducateurs.
