  • Evaluation and Management of Vulvar Disease, An Issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 44-3
    • Aruna Venkatesan
    • English
    Vulvar disorders are prevalent but often overlooked conditions in the curricula of obstetrics and gynecology, dermatology, and primary care residency training programs. This has led many outpatient clinicians to feel unprepared to evaluate the patient with a vulvar complaint. Often patients with complex, chronic vulvar disorders have seen multiple providers in consultation before they are appropriately diagnosed and treated, leading to frustration amongst patients and providers alike as well as excessive health care costs. The goal of this issue is to present a practical review on vulvar disease for outpatient clinicians to improve patient care. The topics highlighted in this issue represent gaps in knowledge among residents, fellows, providers, and course and conference attendees. The issue begins with a general approach to the evaluation and management of vulvar disorders and then moves on to an article on vulvar pathology that will help clinicians obtain the most useful pathology reads from their biopsies. Also addressed are specific vulvar disorders or presenting findings that are common or challenging. A pelvic floor physical therapy colleague provides information on how this modality can help manage vulvar pain. The issue concludes with an article on hot topics in vulvar disease. In the last several years there has been a growing number of newly trained physicians committed to advancing patient care in the area of vulvar disease, and many of this issue’s authors are part of this group. This issue should serve as a useful resource in the office of any provider who evaluates patients with vulvar complaints.

  • Manuel pratique d'algologie

    Prise en charge de la douleur chronique
    • 1st Edition
    • Christophe Perruchoud + 2 more
    • French
    La douleur est, selon l’International Association for the Study of Pain, une « expérience sensorielle et émotionnelle désagréable, liée à une lésion tissulaire existante ou potentielle, ou décrite en termes évoquant une telle lésion ». La douleur existe donc dès que l’on affirme la ressentir, qu’une cause soit établie ou non. Par opposition à la douleur aiguë, la douleur chronique perd sa fonction de signal d’alerte protecteur et devient une maladie à part entière, indépendamment de son origine. La douleur chroniqueaffecte environ 30% de la population générale adulte et son impact économique est majeur. Dès lors, l’algologie est une discipline médicale qui se propose d’étudier, d’évaluer et de traiter cette douleur.Ce Manuel pratique d’algologie se présente comme un tour d’horizon des différents aspects de la douleur chronique et l’aborde en 4 parties :• Les principes généraux : définitions, épidémiologie, physiopathologie et mécanismes de chronification de la douleur.• Les méthodes d’évaluation : anamnèse, évaluation clinique, examens paracliniques, questionnaires et tests diagnostiques.• Les principaux syndromes douloureux chroniques (céphalées, lombalgies, douleurs post-opératoires, neuropathies, douleurs cancéreuses, syndrome douloureux régional complexe, douleur fantôme, etc.) selon les rubriques suivantes : incidence, étiologie, manifestations cliniques, critères diagnostiques et traitements.• Les traitements pharmacologique, conservateur, interventionnel, la neuro-modulation et la chirurgie. La majorité des traitements est illustrée par de nombreux schémas et photos en couleurs .La douleur chronique est l’un des principaux motifs de consultation médicale. Ce Manuel pratique d’algologie – Prise en charge de la douleur chronique est destiné non seulement aux médecins spécialistes traitant les patients souffrant de douleurs chroniques, mais également aux médecins généralistes, neurologues, neurochirurgiens, rhumatologues, médecins en soins palliatifs et à tous les professionnels soucieux de mettre à jour leurs connaissances dans ce domaine.

  • IRM en pratique clinique

    Imagerie neuroradiologique, musculosquelettique, abdominopelvienne, oncologique, hématologique, corps entier, et cardiovasculaire
    • 1st Edition
    • Alain Luciani + 1 more
    • French
    L'accès des patients à l’expertise radiologique en IRM reste un enjeu majeur. Trop longtemps contraintes et limitées, les installations d’IRM sont en augmentation ces dernières années. En parallèle, les champs de la médecine évoluent : nombre de maladies précédemment connues comme des atteintes dites « d’organe » doivent désormais être prises en charge de manière beaucoup plus globale. Ainsi en est-il à titre d’exemple des cancers naturellement, mais également des maladies vasculaires, dont les conséquences neurologiques, cardiaques, ou viscérales doivent être appréhendées à l’échelle du corps entier. L’IRM doit désormais être envisagée comme un outil de prise en charge diagnostique complet, désormais incontournable dans un nombre toujours croissant de situations cliniques. Le besoin de formation des radiologues à l’IRM, dans cet esprit, est et reste donc fort. Réunir toutes les connaissances de la discipline sous forme d'un ouvrage accessible était donc un défi. Ce défi a été relevé avec succès par ce traité, exceptionnel à tous points de vue. - Premier traité de référence sur le sujet en langue française, il réunit l’expertise d’enseignants et enseignants chercheurs de référence de la radiologie. -Il intègre à la fois une approche technologique et radio-clinique, la technologie, rédigée de manière pratique étant au cœur de l’innovation et de l’optimisation des prises en charge diagnostiques. Une partie est consacrée au choix technologique de l'appareil (critères, grands principes, séquences, contrôle qualité). - Il s'articule selon les grandes régions anatomiques (os, pelvis, etc.) du corps entier. Dans chaque partie, l'organisation se décline par pathologie. - Le principe d'importance des pathologies est adopté : les pathologies fréquentes et graves sont les plus détaillées, à l’image des sections consacrées aux principaux cancers. - Les chapitres sont enrichis des avancées des autres disciplines : anatomopathologistes... médecins nucléaires, cliniciens. « En pratique clinique » signifie « bien comprendre les aspects techniques pour adapter les séquences IRM au patient, à sa pathologie et exploiter au mieux les possibilités offertes par l’IRM » : une radiologie personnalisée de haute technicité et au service de tous les patients. Le radiologue trouve, dans ce traité très complet et richement illustré, l’ensemble des connaissances dont il a besoin au quotidien, pour améliorer sa pratique. Il s’agit aussi d’une réflexion sur l’importance des plateaux techniques de haute technicité, pour que l’innovation profite à tous.
