    Palliative care focuses on reducing the severity of disease symptoms in order to prevent and relieve suffering and to improve the quality of life for people facing serious, complex illness. Primary care providers are often the coordinators of palliative care and need to be well versed in all aspects of providing palliative care. This issue covers important topics in palliative care, such as prognosis, management of several end-stage diseases, and management of severe symptoms. The issue could be helpful to a physician studying for subspecialty certification in hospice and palliative medicine.

    Conçu pour fournir une aide pratique à l'examen des patients souffrant d'une atteinte du système nerveux périphérique, cet ouvrage très didactique s'adresse aussi bien aux étudiants en médecine qu'aux cliniciens confirmés de toutes spécialités.Selon le principe « une image vaut 1000 mots », cet ouvrage privilégie les schémas et les photographies, étayés par des textes très concis, pour expliquer clairement comment effectuer l'examen neurologique et les signes cliniques à rechercher."Ce livret fait partie de ceux que devraient posséder les neurologues, les neurochirurgiens, les médecins généralistes et tous les praticiens qui, de temps en temps, seront amenés à examiner les patients souffrant de lésions neurologiques périphériques. Bien qu'extrêmement court, l'ouvrage abonde de photographies et de diagrammes. Hautement recommandé". Dr Eben Alexander, Surgical Neurology "Souvent le rhumatologue est confronté dans sa pratique à des problèmes qui sont, peut-être ou sûrement, du domaine des atteintes périphériques du système nerveux. Or s'il y a un domaine où l'examen clinique garde toute sa valeur, c'est bien là ! Il est donc important que le rhumatologue sache maîtriser les différentes étapes de l'examen neurologique. Cet opuscule, bien que rédigé depuis des années par des neurologues de haut niveau, évite toute approche académique et se veut essentiellement pratique et didactique. Pour atteindre l'objectif qu'il se propose, il est fait d'illustrations (photos et schémas) très démonstratives et immédiatement utilisables par le praticien. On ne peut que recommander chaudement cet ouvrage qui, comme l'indique le docteur Catherine Masson, n'est petit que par sa taille". Pr Marcel-Francis Kahn, Revue du rhumatisme, Décembre 2008 "Cet opuscule réussit le tour de force de présenter, sous la forme d'images, l'essentiel de ce qui doit être connu pour procéder à l'examen des structures du système nerveux périphérique... En conclusion, ce livre s'adresse à tous ceux qui, de près ou de loin, s'intéressent à l'examen clinique des structures du système nerveux périphérique, étudiants et professionnels confirmés. Pour les uns, il constituera un outil de révision précieux. Pour les autres, il permettra en un clin d'oeil de dissiper un doute lorsque la mémoire fait défaut".

    • 2nd Edition

    • French
    L'expérimentation et l'observation sont une étape fondamentale de l'apprentissage en biologie et physiopathologie humaines. Les Travaux dirigés (TD) et les Travaux pratiques (TP) permettent ainsi de développer l'autonomie et l'esprit de déduction qui sont au cœur du nouveau programme de Sciences et technologies de la santé et du social (ST2S). Cette pochette de fiches détachables, destinée aux élèves de classe de première ST2S, permet de réaliser les TD et TP de biologie et physiopathologie humaines sous la direction de l'enseignant. Chaque fiche présente, sous une maquette aérée et dynamique, les objectifs de l'activité, suivis des exercices d'application (TD) ou de manipulations (TP). L'iconographie, abondante et variée, offre aux élèves de ST2S une approche concrète des techniques d'imagerie récentes, des préparations au microscope ainsi que des outils de mesure en laboratoire. Ce volume propose, conformément au nouveau programme : - 11 TD et 7 TP pour le pôle 1 : « L'organisme humain et son autonomie » ; - 9 TD et 7 TP pour le pôle 2 : « Fonctions de nutrition ».
