  • Les acouphènes

    Diagnostic, prise en charge et thérapeutique
    • 1st Edition
    • Martine Ohresser
    • French
    Encore partiellement compris, les acouphènes ont la réputation d’être difficiles à prendre en charge dans la pratique quotidienne. Pourtant, de grands progrès ont été réalisés ces dernières années en clinique comme en thérapeutique. Ce livre est conçu comme un outil d’aide au diagnostic, à l’examen clinique et à la prise en charge des patients acouphéniques, en lien avec les connaissances récentes sur le sujet. Après des rappels fondamentaux sur l’anatomie et les particularités physiologiques du système auditif et des différentes structures neurologiques impliquées dans l’acouphène, l’ouvrage est très largement consacré à l’évaluation médicale et pluridisciplinaire du patient et du type d’acouphène en cause. Viennent ensuite la prise en charge et les thérapeutiques avec, pour finir, les perspectives ouvertes par la recherche. Il met en lumière les points forts indispensables à connaître à chacune des étapes, la première consultation, le bilan à réaliser, les critères orientant la décision thérapeutique et les différentes options de traitement. L’approche est résolument pluridisciplinaire. Il revient à l’ORL, outre d’assurer le bilan auditif et l’orientation diagnostique, de coordonner cette pluridisciplinarité. L’implication du médecin généraliste est aussi une nécessité. Il se doit de connaître les prises en charge proposées pour pouvoir utilement épauler son patient aux côtés des différents intervenants concernés, auxquels ce livre donne la parole : audioprothésistes, psychothérapeutes, sophrologues, psychiatres, hypnothérapeutes, ostéopathes notamment. Cet ouvrage se veut avant tout pratique et didactique : les exposés sont complétés de nombreuses illustrations, qu’il s’agisse de graphiques ou de cas cliniques.

    • French
    À l’aide d’une présentation illustrée et approfondie des 56 traitements homéopathiques les plus importants et les plus fréquemment prescrits, cet ouvrage expose les convergences qui existent entre la médecine traditionnelle chinoise et l’homéopathie. Dans une première partie, les typologies de la théorie des cinq Éléments de la médecine chinoise sont clairement détaillées et mises en parallèle avec les constitutions homéopathiques, autrement appelées diathèses. Une deuxième partie est consacrée, quant à elle, à l’analyse énergétique de chaque remède classé selon son appartenance à tel ou tel Élément chinois. Chaque traitement homéopathique se voit accorder une description précise et détaillée reprenant les caractéristiques de la souche et les signes pathogénésiques, les correspondances qu’il a avec les syndromes de la médecine chinoise et, pour terminer, une analyse détaillée de sa dynamique énergétique. Afin d’aider le lecteur à retrouver facilement les remèdes qui correspondent aux différents syndromes chinois, un répertoire a été mis à sa disposition dans une troisième partie. Cet ouvrage est destiné aux médecins, homéopathes et acupuncteurs, et à tous les lecteurs impliqués dans l’homéopathie et soucieux d’approfondir les connaissances qu’ils ont des traitements homéopathiques en appréhendant leurs mécanismes profonds et intimes mis en lumière par les concepts de la médecine traditionnelle chinoise.
