  • Advances in Melanoma, An Issue of Hematology/Oncology Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 23-3
    • David E. Fisher
    • English
    The field of melanoma biology has experienced a remarkable surge in recent years, owing to progress which has ranged from the most basic laboratory/preclinic... discoveries to clinical developments that have begun to transform the management and prognosis for at least certain melanoma patients. Among the key areas that have contributed to this progress are studies relating to signaling and transcriptional pathways that regulate control over differentiation and survival of the melanocyte lineage. The identification of recurring activating mutations in specific signaling factors (B-RAF, N-Ras, c-KIT), amplification of other melanoma oncogenes (MITF, NEDD9), and the crucial recognition that certain of these genomic events occur within melanomas arising with specific clinical features (eg mucosal or acral origin) have led to clear recognition that melanoma is indeed “many different diseases.” While the various subclasses of melanoma may share common features, such as profound invasive and metastatic propensity, it is also likely that sharply focused therapeutic strategies may exploit the functionally critical molecular engines, which distinguish these subclasses. Certain strategies focus upon the immunogenicity and striking clinical opportunities afforded by immune modulation, while others focus more directly on tumor-specific targeting. This issue brings together some of the leaders who have contributed significant insights from basic melanoma biology to progress in the clinic.

    • English
    An ulcer is an open sore in the lining of the stomach or intestine. Peptic ulcers are eventually caused by acid and pepsin, a digestive stomach enzyme. These ulcers can occur in the stomach, where they are called gastric ulcers, or they can occur in the first portion of the intestine. These are called duodenal ulcers. Peptic ulcer is a term used to describe either or both of these two types of ulcers. H. pylori and certain drugs are the two major factors that cause ulcers. This issue provides a comprehensive overview of the causes, diagnosis, and treatments of peptic ulcers, including conditions like Zollinger -Ellison syndrome. Articles are devoted to NSAID ulcers and how to prevent them, stress ulcers, and antiplatelet therapy.

  • Le sommeil de l'enfant

    • 1st Edition
    • Marie-Josèphe Challamel
    • French
    Les difficultés de sommeil chez l'enfant sont fréquentes : 20 à 30 % des jeunes enfants, environ 10 % des enfants âgés de 6 à 12 ans et 15 à 20 % des adolescents souffrent de difficultés d'endormissement et d'éveils nocturnes. Alors qu'elles peuvent avoir des conséquences graves sur le sommeil et la qualité de vie des parents, ces difficultés sont, chez le jeune enfant, souvent bénignes. Les troubles du sommeil de l'enfant sont étroitement liés à la maturation du sommeil et à l'installation du rythme veille/sommeil, ils sont aussi le reflet de l'évolution psychoaffective de l'enfant et de ses relations avec ses parents. Le livre aborde la physiologie et l'exploration des états de vigilance, puis les insomnies et les troubles du rythme circadien. Il présente ensuite les comportements anormaux pendant le sommeil, les parasomnies et les troubles moteurs liés au sommeil. Les pathologies du sommeil (apnées obstructives, mort subite du nourrisson, syndrome d'Ondine, somnolences diurnes et hypersomnies, pathologies cérébrales) font l'objet d'une partie. Enfin, la question de la prise en charge psychologique est détaillée en fin d'ouvrage. Ce livre tente de répondre aux questions que se posent les médecins, les personnels de santé et les parents. Comprendre le sommeil de l'enfant et de l'adolescent, ses difficultés éventuelles, savoir intervenir en adoptant une attitude éducative ferme mais non rigide, permet de résoudre beaucoup de problèmes. Cette intervention sera d'autant plus efficace qu'elle sera précoce et soutenue par un médecin traitant.

  • La conscience dans tous ses états

    Approches anthropologique et psychiatrique : cultures et thérapies
    • 1st Edition
    • Sébastien Baud + 2 more
    • French
    À la croisée des approches anthropologiques et psychiatriques sur les manifestations multiples de la conscience, plusieurs questions surgissent autour du normal et du pathologique, de la maladie et de la guérison, du réel et de l'imaginaire. Si les états modifiés de conscience entrent dans la nosographie occidentale des maladies mentales, ils sont aussi vecteurs de guérison quand ils sont manipulés par le chaman, le médium ou l'hypnothérapeute. Cette polysémie est étrange en ce que ces états sont à la fois l'apanage du fou et, paradoxalement, aussi du guérisseur. Les contributions réunies dans cet ouvrage traitent sous différentes approches scientifiques des dimensions conceptuelles, pathologiques, thérapeutiques et spirituelles de pratiques qui se focalisent sur la conscience dans ses différents états. Entre pathologie et élection divine, des éléments empiriques, cliniques et théoriques éclairent « l'écologie » de ces situations saturées de symbolisme, aux dimensions émotives de mieux en mieux repérées par les travaux contemporains. Ce livre est l'occasion de montrer comment le processus dynamique de la connaissance relève d'un incessant échange entre l'environnement et l'imagination, suggérant une « co-émergence » simultanée entre le monde et la conscience du monde. Il prend acte de la globalisation mondiale, qui permet que des cultures se dévoilent les unes aux autres, alors que de nouvelles approches scientifiques confrontent et évaluent les données des nouveaux terrains d'observation. L'ouvrage s'adresse aux psychiatres et neurologues, mais aussi tous ceux qui questionnent les phénomènes de conscience, dans leurs aspects biologiques, psychologiques, sociaux et spirituels. Il intéressera les anthropologues comme les professionnels des arts et des cultures par sa démarche à la fois pluridisciplinaire et novatrice.

  • La mémoire de l'enfant

    Développement normal et pathologique
    • 1st Edition
    • Ana Maria Soprano + 3 more
    • French
    Les quinze dernières années ont été marquées par un véritable engouement pour le thème de la mémoire. Le succès grandissant du concept de mémoire de travail, par exemple, illustre bien le consensus actuel : la mémoire participe, dès la naissance, à toute activité mentale et dessine les frontières de chaque individu, entre souvenir et oubli. Plus complexe qu'un simple agglomérat de neurones, pourvue d'une étonnante plasticité, elle ne cesse de nous surprendre. Les auteurs, tous deux chercheurs et praticiens hospitaliers, proposent la synthèse très attendue de l'ensemble des connaissances sur la mémoire de l'enfant et son évolution. Cette version française de l'ouvrage est structurée selon deux axes : le premier envisage la dimension normale du développement mnésique, décrit les bases neurales qui le sous-tendent, ainsi que les différents modèles qui en rendent compte ; la seconde partie se focalise sur les dimensions pathologiques du développement de la mémoire, propose un inventaire inédit des techniques pour les identifier, ainsi que les possibilités thérapeutiques connues. Un glossaire vient compléter le corpus, permettant au lecteur de mieux appréhender les principaux outils lexicaux.

    The bone marrow failure syndromes include a group of disorders than can be either inherited or acquired. These diseases are disorders of the hematopoietic stem cell that can involve either one cell line or all of the cell lines (erythroid for red cells, myeloid for white blood cells, megakaryocytic for platelets). The lymphocytes, which are involved in lymphoproliferative disorders, are usually spared. The inherited bone marrow failure syndromes include Fanconi anemia, dyskeratosis congenital, Diamond-Blackfan anemia, and other genetic disorders. The most common cause of acquired bone marrow failure is aplastic anemia. Expert authors present current diagnosis, treatment, and management strategies for these syndromes. The articles in this issue are divided into 3 classifications: global marrow failure, lineage-restricted marrow failure, and marrow failure and evolution of neoplastic clones.

    An ulcer is an open sore in the lining of the stomach or intestine. Peptic ulcers are eventually caused by acid and pepsin, a digestive stomach enzyme. These ulcers can occur in the stomach, where they are called gastric ulcers, or they can occur in the first portion of the intestine. These are called duodenal ulcers. Peptic ulcer is a term used to describe either or both of these two types of ulcers. H. pylori and certain drugs are the two major factors that cause ulcers. This issue provides a comprehensive overview of the causes, diagnosis, and treatments of peptic ulcers, including conditions like Zollinger -Ellison syndrome. Articles are devoted to NSAID ulcers and how to prevent them, stress ulcers, and antiplatelet therapy.
