    • French
    Actualisé et pratique, cet ouvrage très complet est destiné à tous les professionnels de santé convaincus que les mesures diététiques sont indispensables pour obtenir un bon contrôle glycémique et prévenir ainsi à court et à long terme les complications du diabète. Cet ouvrage poursuit 3 objectifs : • Remettre la nutrition à sa vraie place au sein de la thérapeutique du diabète • Faciliter la prescription diététique, qui apparaît souvent trop complexe • Eviter « l’inertie nutritionnelle », qu’elle soit préventive ou curative Pour atteindre ces objectifs, l’ouvrage a été conçu autour des principes suivants : • une mise à jour sur la physiopathologie et les conséquences des états diabétiques ; • une description détaillée, pratique et personnalisée des mesures nutritionnelles en tenant compte de l’âge des patients, de leur poids, de leurs pratiques alimentaires habituelles ou occasionnelles, de la nature de leur diabète, de leurs traitements médicamenteux et de la présence ou non de désordres biologiques ou cliniques associés à leur diabète. Chaque situation clinique fait l’objet d’explications rationnelles et d’exemples pratiques avec, en fin d’ouvrage, des fiches diététiques aisément transposables à la pratique médicale courante. Pour rendre cet ouvrage agréable et pour faciliter l’ « assimilation » de données nutritionnelles parfois « indigestes », les auteurs ont agrémenté leurs textes de figures et de tableaux didactiques. Nous espérons que cet ouvrage apportera une aide précieuse à toutes les personnes concernées par le diabète et sa prise en charge nutritionnelle.

    Contrairement aux idées reçues, la communication avec les patients atteints de la maladie d’Alzheimer est possible et essentielle. Cet ouvrage en expose les différents moyens. Ainsi ces troubles de la communication, leur évaluation et leur prise en charge thérapeutique sont au centre de ce livre. Les processus du vieillissement normal et du vieillissement pathologique sont analysés à travers l’hétérogénéité des manifestations symptomatiques, en particulier au niveau de la communication dans les maladies neurodégénératives, et à travers la perte progressive du statut d’individu communicant du malade et de ses conséquences sur son comportement. Un outil d’évaluation des troubles de la communication des malades Alzheimer, basé sur une approche pragmatique et écologique est proposé. Ce dernier tient compte de la complexité des troubles et des influences multifactorielles que subissent les patients. À partir de cette évaluation, la thérapie écosystémique des troubles de la communication est proposée. Conduite par un thérapeute, celle-ci implique la participation de l’entourage familial et professionnel. Cette 2e édition propose une actualisation de l’ensemble des données au regard des avancées scientifiques et thérapeutiques, à l’aide de grilles, échelles et recommandations. Le chapitre sur les thérapies du langage et la communication est particulièrement révisé en y intégrant notamment l’élargissement de la thérapie écosystémique au réseau social. Des compléments en ligne sont également proposés : sept vidéos produites par l’auteur et trois documents à télécharger. Ceux-ci présentent les moyens pour évaluer la communication ; la thérapie écosystémique ; la grille d’évaluation des capacités de communication (GECCO), qui est également téléchargeable et imprimable en ligne, via un lien présent dans l’ouvrage.

  • Droits des patients

    Comprendre les textes pour bien les appliquer
    • 1st Edition
    • Christian Gilioli
    • French
    La reconnaissance des droits du malade régit désormais la relation soignant-soigné. Cet ouvrage, ancré dans la réalité et dans le quotidien du personnel soignant et dans celui des patients, permet de se poser les justes questions touchant à des sujets délicats (dignité, souffrance, bienêtre...). Après avoir déroulé le cheminement éthique et historique ayant conduit à l’élaboration progressive des droits du patient, l’auteur procède à une analyse critique des textes de loi, et explique ce que ces droits impliquent tant pour les soignants que pour les patients : que signifie exactement « consentir » quand on aborde la question du « consentement du patient » ? Quelles limites trouve-t-on à la déclaration des « directives anticipées » ? Quelles sont les limites d’un protocole dans la notion de « respect de la dignité d’un malade » (le respect de la dignité relevant surtout d’une attitude, d’un rapport particulier à l’humain) ? Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux étudiants en formation initiale (paramédicale et médicale), aux professionnels engagés dans les différentes formations universitaires (DU, Masters) ainsi qu’aux familles des patients et aux membres des associations de malades.

Cet ouvrage, illustré de plus d’une centaine de dessins, analyse dans un premier temps les notions d’équilibre et de posture puis s’intéresse à chacune des régions anatomiques qui entrent en jeu dans cette question. Il constitue un outil efficace pour comprendre des questions souvent complexes. La compréhension du maintien de la posture debout concerne un grand nombre de professions. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux kinésithérapeutes et ostéopathes en exercice, podologues, ergothérapeutes, médecins de rééducation, médecins du sport, chirurgiens orthopédistes, mais aussi aux ergonomes des gestes et postures et aux professionnels des activités physiques et sportives.

    • English
    Like many other medical and health-related professions, the speech-language pathology and audiology professions have been responding to the changes in the ways in which healthcare is delivered. These changes are occurring at the federal and state levels due to changes in legislative and regulatory policies. To this end and as a result of reports from the World Health Organization (2010, 2011, 2013) and the Institute of Medicine (2000, 2001, 2015), healthcare professionals are now addressing healthcare service delivery within an interprofessional, collaborative practice and patient outcomes context. This volume of Pediatric Clinics will present articles that address clinical care to a variety of pediatric speech and language clinical populations. While it will be the intent of each piece to address interprofessional perspectives of care, the opening and closing pieces, respectively, will introduce and then synthesize, all of the articles into a cogent volume. Articles are devoted to the following topics: The Journey to Interprofessional Practice: Are We There Yet; Late Talkers: Why the ‘Wait and See’ Approach is Outdated; A Pediatrician’s Guide to Cleft Palate Speech and Non-Cleft Causes of Velopharyngeal Insufficiency (VPi); Supporting Children with Autism and Their Families: A Model for Interprofessional Practice; Feeding Problems in Infants and Children: Assessment and Etiology; A Multidisciplinary Team Approach to the Differential Diagnosis of Children with Communication Disorders; Open Up and Let Us In: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Oral Health; Otitis Media: Beyond the Examining Room; Clinical Perspectives on Pre-Literacy Development in Young Children; Using the ICF Framework to Achieve Interprofessional Functional Outcomes for Young Children: A Speech-Language Pathology Perspective; Developmental Care of the Pre-Term Infant: From NICU Through High-Risk Infant Follow Up; Interprofessional Collaborative Practice: What That Means for Early Intervention Service Delivery; The Role of the Speech-Language Pathologist in Creating a Model for Interprofessional Practice in an Ambulatory Care Clinic; and Identification of Speech and Language Delays in Young Children: An Important Collaborative Role for the Pediatrician.
