  • Antibiotic Resistance: Challenges and Opportunities, An Issue of Infectious Disease Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 30-2
    • Robert A. Bonomo + 1 more
    • English
    For many years, physicians and the public assumed that the discovery of new antimicrobial agents would outpace the ability of bacteria to mutate and develop drug resistance. Yet the development of new antibiotics has not kept up with bacterial evolution, especially since the late 1990’s. At that time a multitude of pharmaceutical companies abandoned antibiotic research because of strong economic disincentives. For example, it is challenging for these companies to recuperate the investment (typically in the hundreds of millions of dollars) made in developing a new antibiotic, which is typically prescribed for a few days, compared to drugs that treat chronic conditions like heart disease or mental illness. This situation has led the U.S. federal government to take a more active lead in addressing antibiotic resistance. Recently, the White House announced an action plan that includes improving surveillance, developing better diagnostic tools, accelerating drug development, and improving global coordination of antibiotic resistance issues. Equally important is the $1.2 billion dollars that has been pledged to fund these efforts. While we await the implementation of new policies, this issue of Infectious Disease Clinics of North America brings together leading authorities in the field of antibiotic resistance who discuss current issues including antibiotic stewardship, the changing role of the microbiology laboratory in determining antibiotic resistance in gram-negative pathogens, the continuing spread of metallo-β-lactamases... ESBLs and KPCs, antibiotic options for treating resistant gram-negative infections such as colistin and tigecycline, resistance mechanisms and new treatment options for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, emerging resistance mechanisms in aminoglycosides, issues with antibiotic resistance in immunocompromised patients, new β-lactamase inhibitors in the clinic, and resistance in VRE and Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, combination therapy for resistant gram-negative infections has been advocated by some authorities and the advantages and disadvantages of this strategy will be reviewed.

  • Primary Care of Adult Women, An Issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 43-2
    • James N. Woodruff + 1 more
    • English
    Obstetrician Gynecologists are frequently responsible for management of the primary care needs of their patients. A survey performed in 2005 found an estimated 37% of, non-pregnant patients, relies on gynecologists for routine primary care. The same study found that almost a quarter of gynecologists reported they needed additional primary care training across a broad set of medical topics (Acad Med. 2007; 82:602–607). The impetus for training in primary care skills is increasing. In response to language in the Affordable Care Act, the Institute of Medicine developed a report on clinical preventative services necessary for women (Clinical Preventative Services for Women: Closing the Gaps IOM. 2011; also Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology 2011, 23:471–480). The US Department of Health and Human services has adopted these IOM recommendations and, as a result, health plans are required to include these services. While initiatives such as the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists’ Well-Woman Task Force and recent cross-specialty ACOG educational collaborations have begun to address supplemental educational needs, additional resources covering key primary care topics are necessary. This issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics is an ideal means for accomplishing this important goal.

    • French
    Cet ouvrage est entièrement consacré à la thérapeutique et à la pharmacologie en oncologie. Au cours de l'écriture de Pharmacie clinique et thérapeutique, oeuvre de référence en stratégie et optimisation thérapeutique, il est apparu évident que la pharmacologie oncologique méritait à elle seule un ouvrage complet. De cette idée est né Pharmacie clinique pratique en oncologie, outil de travail complémentaire à l'indispensable Pharmacie clinique et thérapeutique, tout en étant complètement autonome. Il traite des thérapeutiques oncologiques actuelles, un domaine vaste et complexe dont les données évoluent en permanence. Afin de proposer une prise en charge optimale des malades atteints de cancer, ce livre s'organise en six grandes parties :- Introduction générale sur les cancers en France - Principes généraux des thérapeutiques oncologiques - Typologie des patients atteints de cancer - Tumeurs solides - Hémopathies malignes - Accompagnement des patients Les nombreux compléments proposés en ligne : iconographie, tableaux, cas cliniques, textes complémentaires et bibliographies, constituent une véritable base de données pour le lecteur. Publié sous l'égide de l'Association nationale des enseignants de pharmacie clinique (ANEPC), ce livre est le fruit de la collaboration entre pharmaciens, oncologues et professeurs d'université spécialistes du sujet.

    • French
    En réponse à l'exceptionnel accroissement de la longévité, il est nécessaire de prévenir le vieillissement pathologique des personnes à partir de 50 ans. Selon les mots du Pr Bruno Vellas, chef du gérontopôle de Toulouse, « Maintenir les fonctions (cognitives, mobilité, visuelles, auditives...) avec l'avance en âge : tel est le grand challenge de la gérontologie. Il est temps maintenant que l'on puisse travailler à un stade plus précoce comme l'ont fait avant nous de nombreuses spécialités telles que la cancérologie ou la cardiologie. » Cette 3e édition a été totalement revue de façon à être beaucoup plus facile à utiliser et plus complète. Elle est enrichie de 20 chapitres entièrement inédits. Parmi les nouveaux thèmes abordés, on peut citer : l'alimentation, la fragilité, les gérontechnologies, les centenaires et les supercentenaires. Les outils de dépistage développés ces dernières années, en particulier dans le cadre de l'évaluation gérontologique standardisée, sont également inclus.

  • Taping

    Techniques, effets, applications cliniques
    • 1st Edition
    • Ramin Ilbeygui + 1 more
    • French
    Le taping s'est imposé en France comme une méthode de soin particulièrement efficace et rapide des lésions musculaires, ligamentaires ou tendineuses ainsi que des troubles lymphatiques. Cependant, son utilisation et sa mise en oeuvre nécessitent des connaissances précises ; cet ouvrage détaille ainsi, de manière pédagogique et adaptée, la physiologie du taping et ses différentes applications. L'auteur décrit dans une première partie les principes de bases du taping. Il aborde ensuite les techniques de pose habituelles - techniques musculaires, lymphatiques, ligamentaires et de correction posturale – et y ajoute la description de techniques spécifiques comme les montages sur les cicatrices, les trajets nerveux ou les segments, les techniques de correction des fascias, les techniques agissant sur les trigger points et les techniques énergétiques. Les applications cliniques sont ensuite détaillées dans une troisième partie, aussi bien dans les domaines orthopédiques et chirurgicaux qu'en médecine interne, en gynécologie ou en neurologie. L'ouvrage s'appuie sur plus de 740 photographies pour décrire ces techniques. L'atout majeur de ce guide est le body painting étape par étape : - en se basant sur le célèbre Atlas d'anatomie Sobotta, les structures anatomiques ont été peintes avec une grande précision sur le corps d'un modèle ; - les bandes sont alors appliquées sur ces « structures anatomiques sous-jacentes » ; - des explications pas à pas détaillent enfin chaque étape de cette application, donnant ainsi une vision parfaitement claire et précise de la localisation des bandes. Les vidéos de la version originale sont accessibles en ligne, elles permettent de visualiser la pose des bandes pour assimiler parfaitement ces techniques. Cet ouvrage, véritable guide de référence en langue française sur le sujet, est destiné aux kinésithérapeutes ainsi qu'aux médecins du sport, ostéopathes, préparateurs sportifs et podologues.

  • Nutrition préventive et thérapeutique

    • 1st Edition
    • Jean-Michel Lecerf + 1 more
    • French
    Cet ouvrage situe la juste place de la nutrition dans l'arsenal de la prévention et de la thérapeutique avec l'idée directrice que, bien se nourrir, c'est prévenir et se soigner. Il met en avant le rôle clef que joue l'alimentation dans le bien-être, la prévention et le traitement de nombreuses maladies chroniques ou plus spécifiques. Longtemps empirique ou intuitive, la nutrition s'est hissée au rang d'une discipline scientifique sans rien perdre de sa dimension humaine. Elle occupe à présent une place incontournable dans la prévention de nombreuses maladies. Elle contribue au traitement de diverses pathologies de façon spécifique ou exclusive, en renforçant parfois l'action des traitements pharmacologiques. Aussi, ce livre est-il composé de 2 parties : - La partie "Nutrition préventive" fournit les clés de compréhension et de mise ne place d'une alimentation saine et équilibrée, favorable au maintien de l'état de santé. Elle détaille à la fois les aliments et leurs constituants, les contaminants, les modes alimentaires et leurs effets sur la santé, ainsi que les bases de la prévention des pathologies et des besoins particuliers. - La partie "Nutrition thérapeutique" décrit les outils nécessaires pour l'évaluation et l'assistance nutritionnelles dans certaines pathologies chroniques et délivre les principes de la prescription nutritionnelle. La justification et la mise en œuvre de tous les régimes alimentaires particuliers , leurs indications et leurs limites y sont largement développées. Ce livre, qui propose une approche globale résultant de l'état des connaissances médicales et scientifiques actuelles, s'adresse à tout professionnel de santé concerné par l'équilibre alimentaire et l'adaptation nutritionnelle.
