Chaque chapitre se construit autour d’un exposé contradictoire et commenté par des avis d’expert sur le diagnostic et la surveillance, des études et protocoles, de leurs applications en pratique clinique courante puis de l’exposé de cas cliniques richement illustrés et commentés sur toute la durée du traitement. Les perspectives thérapeutiques sont également abordées. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aussi bien aux praticiens hospitaliers que libéraux qui souhaitent parfaire leurs connaissances sur les dernières avancées concernant la DMLA exsudative.

  • Adolescent Sexuality, An Issue of Pediatric Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 64-2
    • Marianne E. Felice
    • English
    Dr. Felice has put together clinical reviews articles that cover a broad scope of clinical issues that are common among sexually active adolescent patients. Some issues addressed include: HPV Vaccine Update; Treating Dysmenorrhea/Menorrh... New STD Guidelines; Emergency Contraception; Talking to Parents about Teen Sexuality; and Long-acting Reversible Contraception. Most pediatricians feel poorly equipped to address these problems. They are also complicated issues that give the average pediatric clinician pause and often take more time than usually scheduled in a busy practice. By providing practical updated information on these clinical problems, pediatric practitioners can become more comfortable in dealing with these topics. Although many clinicians are not involved with adolescents in the juvenile justice system, Dr. Felice included an article on this so that pediatricians can be more educated and sensitive to the needs of these young people. An article on human trafficking of teens in included with the hope bringing awareness of this issue. Articles in this issue were selected specifically because they directly affect primary pediatric care. For example, an article is included on how to help young people avoid being victims of partner violence rather than an article on sexual abuse and rape because adolescents would be treated in the emergency room and not the pediatrician’s office.

  • Guide pratique d'écho-Doppler vasculaire

    • 1st Edition
    • Anne Long
    • French
    L’écho-Doppler est l’examen d’imagerie effectué en première intention devant une maladie vasculaire. Extrêmement répandu, il n’en demeure pas moins d’un apprentissage délicat. D’une part, le caractère opérateur-dépendant de la technique implique des compétences solides pour la pratique de l’examen ; d’autre part, son interprétation est souvent complexe et requiert d’excellentes bases d’anatomie, d’hémodynamique et une bonne connaissance des maladies vasculaires. Cet ouvrage a pour objectif d’offrir un accès rapide aux connaissances indispensables à la maîtrise de cette technique et à son interprétation. Les deux grands types d’écho-Doppler sont abordés : – périphérique (troncs supra-aortiques, transcrânien, membres supérieurs, hémodialyse, aorte abdominale, membres inférieurs) ; – viscéral (artères digestives, réseau porte, artères rénales, greffon rénal). Dans un souci de pédagogie, chaque chapitre suit un plan identique : anatomie, techniques d’explorations, résultats normaux, résultats pathologiques, résultats après gestes de revascularisation les plus fréquents, pièges et limites, l’indispensable dans le compte rendu. Les aspects techniques (réglages, produits de contraste) font l’objet de chapitres dédiés. L’ouvrage est accompagné d’un complément en ligne de 14 vidéos d’écho-Doppler. Ce livre s’adresse aux médecins de toute discipline, et plus largement à tous les « examinateurs » amenés à pratiquer ces examens.

  • TCC dans l'autisme et le retard mental

    Aider l'adulte à s'épanouir
    • 1st Edition
    • Ayman MURAD
    • French
    Les personnes ayant un trouble du spectre autistique (TSA) avec retard mental, ou un retard mental isolé, souffrent plus fréquemment que le reste de la population de désordres psychiques caractérisés, tels que l’anxiété, la dépression et les colères explosives, ou de difficultés liées au handicap. Ces situations entraînent une souffrance psychique face à laquelle les professionnels se trouvent souvent démunis, ne sachant comment utiliser leurs connaissances en psychothérapie pour soulager leurs patients. En effet, cette population éprouve fréquemment des difficultés dans l’échange, notamment pour exprimer ses émotions. Après avoir présenté les notions cliniques propres aux TSA et au retard mental à l’âge adulte, l’auteur expose les principes généraux des thérapies comportementales et cognitives, puis il détaille les TCC appliquées aux champs prédéfinis. Le procédé de l’analyse fonctionnelle et de la conceptualisation est ensuite explicité à travers ses phases successives, depuis les premières observations, jusqu’au choix des objectifs et des techniques thérapeutiques. Une dernière partie s’attache aux différentes interventions à mettre en place selon les cas. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux professionnels, formés ou non à ce modèle, afin de leur permettre de recourir aux meilleurs outils pour soulager la détresse des sujets handicapés. Basé sur les sciences du comportement, ce livre fait de l’apprentissage son maître-mot et révèle une vision active et optimiste des interactions entre l’humain et son environnement. Ayman Murad est psychiatre, praticien hospitalier au centre hospitalier de Rouffach et au Centre de ressources Autisme Alsace, et chargé d’enseignement à l’Université de Strasbourg. Il est également membre et enseignant à l’AFTCC (Association française de thérapie comportementale et cognitive).

    Novateur et pratique, cet ouvrage de référence offre au diabétologue, à l’interne et au médecin généraliste, 55 démarches cliniques se basant sur les connaissances scientifiques actuelles et les recommandations des différentes organisations (HAS, ADA/EASD). Chaque cas clinique y est développé selon le même plan : 1• Point de départ : description du cas clinique précédé par un rappel de « l’état de l’art » (épidémiologique, physiopathologique, clinique et thérapeutique). 2• Itinéraire de la démarche à partir du point de départ : commentaire du cas clinique par l’expert, suivi d’une argumentation pour ou contre les différentes solutions proposées. 3• Point d’arrivée : énoncé de la solution sur laquelle l’expert a porté son choix préférentiel. 4• Conclusion et évolution possible au cours des années à venir. Les 55 démarches cliniques correspondent à la majorité des situations auxquelles est confronté le médecin en pratique médicale courante : par exemple, sujets chez lesquels on découvre un diabète ou qui nécessitent des ajustements thérapeutiques du fait de l’évolution de leur maladie, de la présence de complications en rapport avec le diabète ou de situations rencontrées dans leur vie quotidienne et pouvant interférer sur leur équilibre glycémique. Cet ouvrage fait appel aux avancées les plus récentes en matière de diabétologie. Il s’adresse à l’ensemble des professionnels de santé concernés par la prise en charge des patients diabétiques, et nous espérons qu’ils trouveront sa lecture agréable et profitable.
