    Crise, urgence... des mots utilisés par les adolescents eux-mêmes et porteurs de confusion. A travers la sexualisation du corps et la distanciation d'avec les figures parentales, le processus d'adolescence a pour conséquence une fragilisation du Moi de l'individu. Cet ouvrage, écrit par deux spécialistes de l'adolescence, propose des repères d'évaluation pour différencier une crise maturante, celle qui conduit à une impasse du développement et celle qui nécessite une réponse urgente. L'ouvrage clarifie tout d'abord les concepts de crise et d'urgence à l'adolescence puis présente les nombreux aspects cliniques de la crise à l'adolescence (violence, signes annonciateurs, motifs cliniques de la demande en urgence, approche nosographique). Il développe ensuite la prise en charge : 1ère rencontre, suivi téléphonique, évaluation et orientation des soins (ambulatoire, hospitalisation, prescription).

  • Biochemistry

    • 4th Edition
    • U Satyanarayana
    • English
    This textbook ‘Biochemistry’ has become one of the most preferred text books (in India and many other countries) for the students as well as teachers in medical, biological and other allied sciences. The book has undergone three editions, several reprints, and revised reprints in a span of 13 years. There are many biochemistry textbooks in the market. Some of them are purely basic while others are applied, and there are very few books which cover both these aspects together. For this reason, the students learning biochemistry in their undergraduate courses have to depend on multiple books to acquire a sound knowledge of the subject. This book, ‘Biochemistry’ is unique with a simultaneous and equal emphasis on basic and applied aspects of biochemistry. This textbook offers an integration of medical and pure sciences, comprehensively written to meet the curriculum requirements of undergraduate courses in medical, dental, pharmacy, life-sciences and other categories (agriculture, veterinary, etc.). This book is designed to develop in students a sustained interest and enthusiasm to learn and develop the concepts in biochemistry in a logical and stepwise manner. It incorporates a variety of pedagogic aids, besides colour illustrations to help the students understand the subject quickly and to the maximum. The summary and biomedical/clinical concepts are intended for a rapid absorption and assimilation of the facts and concepts in biochemistry. The self-assessment exercises will stimulate the students to think rather than merely learn the subject. In addition, these exercises (essays, short notes, fill in the blanks, multiple choice questions) set at different difficulty levels, will cater to the needs of all the categories of learners.

    Sous l'influence des patientes et des économistes de la santé, l'hystéroscopie, diagnostique puis opératoire, est progressivement devenue une pratique quasi exclusive de chirurgie ambulatoire gynécologique. Elle est aujourd'hui reconnue comme une technique chirurgicale à part entière, dans un champ d'action qui va du domaine de la reproduction à celui de la pathologie dominante de la 5e décade, représentée par les ménométrorragies. Il s'agit d'une chirurgie fine, nécessitant un matériel dédié et des techniques spécifiques, enrichie ces dernières années grâce au développement des nouvelles technologies (bipolaire, miniaturisation des optiques, etc.). La fertiloscopie, technique encore peu diffusée, est particulièrement intéressante dans la prise en charge de l'infertilité en raison de son abord chirurgical mini-invasif. Pour chaque chapitre est indiqué le niveau de difficulté de réalisation des actes proposés ainsi qu'un encadré spécifique concernant les principaux éléments à retenir. L'information à donner aux patientes n'a pas été oubliée.De nombreux dessins explicatifs et des clichés opératoires sont associés à chaque chapitre afin de les rendre plus didactiques en identifiant clairement l'instrumentation et les temps opératoires. Cet ouvrage, résolument pratique et didactique, a été conçu comme un manuel de référence pour l'apprentissage de nouvelles techniques ou le perfectionnement dans le cadre d'une démarche de développement professionnel continu (DPC). Il permettra à tous les chirurgiens gynécologues-obstétr... d'appréhender ces techniques dans leur pratique au quotidien.
