  • La ménopause en pratique

    • 1st Edition
    • Brigitte Raccah-Tebeka + 1 more
    • French
    Cet ouvrage consacré à la ménopause a pour objectif de donner au praticien les clés pour répondre aux différentes situations cliniques en pratique courante. Il constitue donc une mise au point didactique de la périménopause et de la ménopause. La prise en charge de la ménopause est un enjeu majeur de santé publique compte tenu de l’allongement de l’espérance de vie. Comment prendre en charge la ménopause dans de multiples contextes cliniques ? L’ouvrage structuré à travers six parties, a pour objet de comprendre les diverses modifications physiologiques induites par la carence hormonale de la ménopause ainsi que la prise en charge des femmes dans différentes situations cliniques, de la plus simple aux pathologies les plus complexes. À partir des données les plus récentes de la littérature scientifique mais aussi de leur expérience clinique, les nombreux auteurs de cet ouvrage offrent une prise en charge adaptée et individualisée à chaque femme. Une solution thérapeutique appropriée est toujours proposée, pour chaque situation clinique, qu’elle soit hormonale ou non hormonale. La problématique de l’utilisation du THM, trop souvent décrié depuis plus de 15 ans, est approfondie. Ainsi les clés de la balance bénéfice-risque individuelle sont apportées afin de permettre aux femmes souffrant de symptômes climatériques invalidants de pouvoir en bénéficier en l‘absence de contre-indication. Cet ouvrage tente de répondre aux questions précises des praticiens de terrain. Il s’adresse à tous les praticiens concernés par la santé des femmes, à l’hôpital comme en médecine de ville en particulier, les gynécologues médicaux, obstétriciens, chirurgiens gynécologues, généralistes internes en formation…

    • English
    Obstetrician Gynecologists are frequently responsible for management of the primary care needs of their patients. A survey performed in 2005 found an estimated 37% of, non-pregnant patients, relies on gynecologists for routine primary care. The same study found that almost a quarter of gynecologists reported they needed additional primary care training across a broad set of medical topics (Acad Med. 2007; 82:602–607). The impetus for training in primary care skills is increasing. In response to language in the Affordable Care Act, the Institute of Medicine developed a report on clinical preventative services necessary for women (Clinical Preventative Services for Women: Closing the Gaps IOM. 2011; also Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology 2011, 23:471–480). The US Department of Health and Human services has adopted these IOM recommendations and, as a result, health plans are required to include these services. While initiatives such as the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists’ Well-Woman Task Force and recent cross-specialty ACOG educational collaborations have begun to address supplemental educational needs, additional resources covering key primary care topics are necessary. This issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics is an ideal means for accomplishing this important goal.

    Obstetrics is a new e-book presenting a collection of key articles from Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Reproductive Medicine, mapped by module to the MRCOG Part 2 exam. As well as mapping to the MRCOG, the Inkling version of this e-book also enables anyone with a short-term interest in a specific area to buy individual articles at a price-point which will give affordable access to all readers (from medical students to GPs and practitioners in related areas, such a genitourinary medicine). Inkling’s app-like quality of user experience on mobiles, tablets and laptops will be an added bonus for learning on the move. As well as being vital preparation for the MRCOG exam, this material is also ideal for life-long learning, CPD and, indeed, preparation for all post-graduate exams in obstetrics (not just MRCOG), including especially the new EBCOG exam in Europe and local college exams in India.[the Middle East and Africa. The parent journal is a rolling, continuously updated review of obstetrics over a three-year cycle covering all the important topics for the MRCOG Part 2 exam. Its Editorial Board comprises some of Europe’s most influential specialists and includes, among others, the current Presidents of FIGO and EBCOG, as well as the past President of the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The journal’s articles are refreshed, updated, augmented or replaced as appropriate each time the subject is due for revision to provide a concise overview of knowledge and practice core to the curriculum. Each article is written by invited experts and overseen by the relevant subject specialist on the Board. There is a trainee on the Board too, ensuring relevance and accessibility to exam candidates.

    Les importantes avancées médicales de ces dernières années ont permis à de nombreuses patientes atteintes de pathologies chroniques d'accéder à la grossesse. Ces mutations du monde médical ont notamment influencé le mode de travail des gynécologues-obstétr... qui ont été amenés à prendre en charge ces patientes de manière plus régulière. Au cours de leur grossesse, ces femmes seront suivies à la fois par le médecin spécialiste de la pathologie et par un médecin obstétricien. Il faut donc que le gynécologue habituellement en charge de la patiente puisse avoir un accès rapide et clair aux informations concernant la pathologie dont souffre cette dernière. Cet ouvrage doit pouvoir répondre à toutes les questions que peuvent se poser les personnes en contact avec la patiente malade : la grossesse est-elle envisageable ? Quels éléments vont devoir faire l'objet d'une surveillance chez la patiente et le fœtus ? Cette grossesse va-t-elle impliquer une modification du traitement habituel ? Des complications inhérentes à la grossesse vont-elles voir le jour ? L'ouvrage liste ainsi la grande majorité des maladies chroniques et proposent à chaque fois des rappels et une marche à suivre simple afin de gérer au mieux des situations souvent difficiles. Cet ouvrage est destiné aux gynécologues obstétriciens, aux internes, aux généralistes, aux sages-femmes, et à tous les acteurs de la prise en charge des grossesses à risque.

  • Pelvic Pain in Women, An Issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 41-3
    • Mary T. McLennan
    • English
    This issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America attempts to provide an overview of the more common causes of chronic pelvic pain in women. It brings together experts in various fields of gynecology, gastroenterology, physical therapy, and urogynecology in an attempt to discuss the wide variety of common clinical conditions that can manifest as pain. The intent is to enable the physician to consider not only the common gynecologic causes but also the common nongynecologic causes based on certain symptom profiles and targeted clinical examination. Should the physician not feel comfortable in treating the nongynecologic causes, it would enable them to target their referral to a more appropriate physician rather than the patient being referred back to a general primary care physician. It is our hope that it will enable the reader to see the pelvis not as an ovary or a uterus but as a whole system of interacting organs, muscles, and nerves. In addtiion, there is very little in the Obstetrics and Gynecology literature about the treatment of the pain component with opioid and nonopioid medications. As one of my colleagues frequently states, we can treat the pain but not necessarily alleviate the suffering. The overview of complementary and alternative medications and opioid use will hopefully be useful to the practicing physician as it provides an evidence-based approach to the use of these therapies specifically for chronic pelvic pain.

  • Current Concepts in Neonatal Nutrition, An Issue of Clinics in Perinatology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 41-2
    • Brenda Poindexter
    • English
    Over the past several decades, advances in neonatal nutrition have focused on the provision of early parenteral nutrition and the development of formulas and supplements that most closely approximate maternal breast milk. The overall outcomes for infants, including premature infants, have greatly benefited from these advances, but there are still many nutritional unknowns that impact the lives of neonates. This is an exciting time in neonatal nutrition as the focus has shifted from survival and growth, which are still important goals, to effects of each micro/macronutrient on development, prevention of disease states such as ROP, the effects of neonatal nutrition on future health as an adult, and opportunities to improve long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes by optimal early nutrition. This issue focuses on aspects of enteral and parenteral nutrition that are at the forefront of neonatal care: assessing growth, parenteral nutrition components (including alternate lipid formulations), optimal storage and use of human milk (including donor milk), post-discharge nutrition, and the effects of various micro/macronutrients on long-term developmental outcomes. It is anticipated that the study and implementation of many of these novel concepts into the care of neonates, many of whom are severely premature, will be of value to practitioners, researchers, and, most of all, patients.

  • Recurrent First Trimester Pregnancy Loss, An Issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 41-1
    • William H. Kutteh
    • English
    This issue of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics in North America will focus on the advances in the evaluation and management of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) that have emerged within the last few years. Although spontaneous pregnancy loss occurs in approximately 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies in reproductive-aged women, RPL occurs in 2% to 5% of the same population. Recent reports on large populations of women with RPL have helped to characterize the incidence and diversity of this heterogeneous disorder, and a definite cause of pregnancy loss can be established on over 50% of all couples after a thorough evaluation. New diagnostic strategies, which include 23-chromosome microarray genetic testing of the products of conception in failed pregnancies, offer the promise of understanding the cause of most pregnancy losses. These recent advances, combined with the contributions from the authors in this issue of Clinics and many others interested in this field, lead to the publication of the long-awaited publication on evaluation and treatment of RPL from the Practice Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. A complete evaluation will include investigations into genetic, anatomic, immunologic, endocrinologic, and iatrogenic factors. "Generally the book is well written by internationally recognized and dedicated specialists, informative, updated and well-illustrated. I can recommend this book for physicians, scientists and also interested medical students who want to understand more about high risk early pregnancy."

    Fetal Heart Ultrasound, now in its second edition, has been written as a practical guide for the ultrasound examination of the fetal heart. The fetal heart is considered to be the most important and difficult part of a fetal examination. This book aims not only to clarify and simplify the approach to this examination, but also to define what a normal fetal heart should be, and underline just why this organ remains one of the best warning signs for fetal pathology. It will be useful to trainee and practicing ultrasonographers, ultrasound departments providing obstetric ultrasound services, and obstetricians, gynecologists, radiologists and midwives undertaking course in fetal ultrasonography. "Fetal Heart Ultrasound. How, Why and When ... could represent a supplement to other literature in the field, especially for trainees and ultrasonographers."
