    Le développement du bébé : de la vie foetale à la marche offre une vision synthétique et pluridisciplinaire des connaissances actuelles sur le développement du nourrisson. Il en détaille tous les aspects – sensoriel, psychomoteur, cognitif, affectif et social – et les met en perspective dans le cadre de leurs principales théories en vigueur dans le domaine de la petite enfance et de la pratique clinique actuelle. Rédigé par une équipe pluridisciplinaire, il réunit les savoirs issus de différentes spécialités de la petite enfance et propose une alliance entre les apports récents de la recherche et leurs applications cliniques (théorie, recherche et clinique). En quatre parties, l’ouvrage développe : - les bases de la recherche (comment savoir ce que le bébé pense ? évaluer le développement du nourrisson) ; - l’éveil des sens et du corps (apprentissages et mémoire, olfaction, compétences musicales, développement psychomoteur, états de conscience) ; - la communication et la cognition sociale (communication parent-bébé, développement du langage, des théories de l’esprit, spécialisation hémisphérique) ; - les prises en charge précoces (vulnérabilités spécifiques, oralité alimentaire, ostéopathie, interactions mère-bébé, vision, examen de Brazelton).

  • Les troubles hydro-électrolytiques faciles

    • 1st Edition
    • Marie-Noëlle Peraldi-Gardin + 1 more
    • French
    Les désordres hydro-électrolytique... et les anomalies que l’on peut découvrir sur des examens sanguins et urinaires de routine sont fréquemment rencontrés en pratique clinique et parfois en situation d’urgence. Leur description clinique et l’analyse de leur mécanisme, avec l’aide de quelques examens simples – tels que ionogrammes sanguin et urinaire, gazométrie – permettent leur approche diagnostique. Les multiples facteurs à l’origine de ces troubles rendent le diagnostic et le traitement parfois difficiles à déterminer. Peu d’ouvrages francophones récents ont pour thème central l’analyse de ces désordres hydro-électrolytique... et acido-basiques. L’objectif de ce livre est de rappeler tout ce qu’il convient de savoir sur ces anomalies pour une meilleure prise en charge clinique et une orientation thérapeutique adaptée. Pour chaque trouble, on trouvera :- les bases physiologiques ; - des exercices d’application clinique ; - des explications physiopathologiques ; - le traitement.

  • Pathologies rétiniennes : 100 études cliniques

    • 1st Edition
    • Maher Saleh
    • French
    Depuis quinze ans la prise en charge des maladies de la macula s’est transformée, avec en particulier l’apparition de traitements anti-angiogéniques par la voie intravitréenne. Devant l’importance des enjeux en termes de santé du patient, de coûts pour la collectivité et de charge de travail pour les ophtalmologistes, une tendance à la rationalisation est observée avec l’apparition d’une médecine basée sur l’évidence. Dans ce contexte, de nombreuses études incluant aujourd’hui des milliers de patients ont été réalisées. Face à ce foisonnement d’information, l’ophtalmologiste se retrouve rapidement « dépassé ». Cet ouvrage fait la synthèse et l’analyse de 104 études, publiées et validées, présentées selon un même schéma de rédaction : molécules étudiées, objectifs de l’étude, schéma thérapeutique, résultats et une courte bibliographie. Cette présentation est reprise pour chaque pathologie : DMLA, diabète, occlusions veineuses... Pour chaque étude, un «expert» commente l’apport à la pratique clinique. Il s’agit d’un outil de synthèse qui permet l’accès rapide et didactique à la médecine basée sur l’évidence, avec pour chaque pathologie :- l’accès rapide à l’information afin d’appréhender dans sa globalité le rationnel de traitement de la maladie et d’informer de façon précise le patient (gain d’acuité visuelle, nombre d’injections, comparaison entre traitements…) ; - l’accès à un corpus de connaissance antérieur à la date de formation des nouveaux praticiens ; - le développement de l’esprit critique en s’appuyant sur l’avis des experts qui atteste de la neutralité du propos ; - la mise à disposition, pour les praticiens confirmés, d’un thesaurus et du détail des études avec les références bibliographiques (gain de temps dans leur recherche).

  • Troubles psychotiques : protocoles d'intervention précoce

    Le guide du clinicien
    • 1st Edition
    • Laurent Lecardeur
    • French
    Trois mots-clés à retenir pour cet ouvrage : psychose, intervention précoce, clinicien. Premier ouvrage en langue française qui aborde la problématique de la détection et de l’intervention précoces dans les troubles psychotiques, il constitue un guide précieux pour le clinicien.Trop longtemps, la psychiatrie a porté son attention sur des affections mentales déjà bien constituées et/ou chroniques répondant à des critères diagnostiques de pathologies telles que schizophrénie, trouble délirant, trouble bipolaire, trouble schizo-affectif ou autres, négligeant la détection de signes et symptômes qui se développent avant même que ces affections soient diagnostiquées et par conséquent sous-estimant les bienfaits de l’intervention précoce.Intervenir précocement est un enjeu majeur de société, car la précocité de la prise en charge conditionne le pronostic. Mais encore faut-il le faire à bon escient et savoir identifier les signes d’alarme.Cet ouvrage, pragmatique, aborde non seulement la détection de ces signes grâce à des outils standardisés et validés, les modalités thérapeutiques mais aussi les organisations sanitaires parfaitement envisageables en France et permet ainsi de connaître et savoir appliquer les soins validés scientifiquement et promus par les recommandations internationales de prise en charge des phases précoces de la psychose.
