    Completamente revisada y actualizada esta nueva edición ofrece un repaso conciso y magníficamente ilustrado de la neuroanatomía que evidencia la importancia de la anatomía en la práctica de la neurología clínica moderna.

La nueva edición incluye más de 150 fotografías e ilustraciones (revisadas y nuevas) que, de forma clara, sencilla y explícita presentan las estructuras y sistemas anatómicas. La nueva edición incluye un importante número de imágenes nuevas, mantiene los cuadros resumen y de correlación clínica.

    • Spanish
    Obra que proporciona tanto una introducción amplia a este campo así como un resumen de la base de conocimiento y las habilidades relacionadas con el liderazgo y la gestión de enfermería. Presenta una fusión de práctica y teoría que abre nuevas perspectivas mediante la explicación de la intersección de los cuidados de enfermería con el liderazgo de las personas y la gestión de organizaciones y sistemas. Tiene un doble objetivo que consiste en diferenciar con claridad las perspectivas tradicionales de liderazgo y gestión, y relacionarlas de forma integrada con las tendencias actuales en enfermería y las aplicaciones prácticas. El contenido de esta sexta edición se ha reorganizado y actualizado para integrar los temas de liderazgo y gestión con las competencias de liderazgo ejecutivo en enfermería de la American Organization on Nurse Executives (AONE). Está diseñada para cubrir las necesidades de los profesionales y estudiantes de enfermería que busquen una base sobre los principios de liderazgo y coordinación de los servicios de enfermería en relación con los cuidados de los pacientes, los compañeros, los superiores y los subordinados.

  • Imagerie des urgences

    • French
    L’activité radiologique d’urgence est aujourd’hui en constante hausse, aussi bien dans les hôpitaux universitaires que dans les cliniques privées. Or, l’impact d’un diagnostic rapide par imagerie est considérable sur la prise en charge du patient. Ce livre a pour ambition de répondre de manière pratique aux besoins des radiologues, des urgentistes et des internes, afin d’améliorer la demande des examens et surtout leur interprétation en détaillant les signes clés et les pièges diagnostiques. Cet ouvrage se divise en deux parties : urgences traumatiques et urgences non traumatiques. À l’intérieur, les chapitres sont construits à partir de situations cliniques fréquentes. Ils décrivent alors la sémiologie radiologique des principales affections observées, en insistant sur les images pièges ou trompeuses, abordent l’impact diagnostique de l’imagerie et proposent différentes stratégies décisionnelles. Le contenu, très structuré, permet d’arriver rapidement à l’essentiel : les textes sont courts, contiennent des encadrés spécifiques pour les points importants ou difficiles, et l’iconographie, qui repose sur l’imagerie en coupes, est abondante. Le praticien peut ainsi accéder à l’information de manière facile et efficace, en lien avec son exercice quotidien.

    • French
    La bouche est au centre des trois grandes fonctions que sont la ventilation, l’alimentation et la communication. Ainsi, l’importance des fonctions et des organes de la cavité buccale dans le développement de l’enfant et de l’adolescent est telle que bien souvent leurs mises en place effectives sont scrutées par les parents et le moindre retard ou dysfonctionnement les conduit à consulter.Cet ouvrage, exhaustif, didactique et richement illustré, met l’accent sur le développement de la cavité buccale de l’embryon à l’âge adulte, les dysmorphoses (fentes…), les pathologies des muqueuses buccales et péribuccales, l’oncologie, les anomalies de l’organe dentaire, la maladie carieuse, les troubles fonctionnels, la prise en charge des traumatismes de la cavité buccale et la prise en charge pluridisciplinaire de l’enfant et de l’adolescent (troubles alimentaires, handicap…). Huit vidéos, illustrant entre autres la consultation et l’examen clinique de l’enfant de 0-2 ans ou comment alimenter un nourrisson avec une fente palatine, complètent l’ouvrage. Fruit de la collaboration d’une cinquantaine de spécialistes, La bouche de l’enfant et de l’adolescent fait le point sur l’ensemble des problématiques liées à la cavité bucco-dentaire : la recherche d’un traitement efficace et suffisant qui accorde toute sa place à la relation médecin-malade et médecin-parents, relation dont l’équilibre reste fondamental.
