Il est à l'heure actuelle une référence en matière de pédagogie anatomique. Sa conception facilite l'acquisition des connaissances: - L'auteur a conçu plus de 600 figures en couleurs, toujours placées en regard du texte selon une approche originale où fonctionnalité et intelligibilité de l'information priment. - La structure des chapitres – textes aux plans simples et systématiques, tableaux synthétiques – favorise la mémorisation logique. - Pour chaque structure anatomique, des indications palpatoires et pathomécaniques permettent d'affermir les connaissances en soulignant les intérêts pratiques. Cet ouvrage de référence offre une lecture complète du membre supérieur : ostéologie, arthrologie, myologie, appareil fibreux, neurologie, angiologie, morpho-topographie. Il offre également une auto-évaluation par QROC et chrono-QROC, des clichés de dissection originaux et des planches régionales issues du célèbre atlas de Franck Netter.

  • Manipulations des dysfonctions pelviennes féminines

    • 1st Edition
    • Olivier Bazin + 1 more
    • French
    De nombreux ostéopathes sont confrontés dans leur pratique quotidienne à des patientes présentant des déséquilibres de la sphère pelvienne. Les motifs de consultation peuvent être liés à des troubles fonctionnels (incontinence urinaire, algies pelviennes, infertilité), à la physiologie hormonale (puberté, cycle menstruel, grossesse, ménopause) ou encore à des conséquences chirurgicales ou infectieuses spécifiques. Les tissus mous intrapelviens sont en permanence sollicités et mobilisés par les fonctions respiratoire, urinaire, génitale et intestinale ; de même les organes urogénitaux sont en constant mouvement. Le rôle de l'ostéopathe est de restaurer la mobilité de l'ensemble de ces tissus, afin d'assurer une bonne physiologie de la sphère pelvienne. Cet ouvrage, basé sur la clinique et les motifs de consultation les plus fréquents, fournit à l'ostéopathe des clés de traitement pour soulager et aider les patientes. Les auteurs proposent plusieurs types de manipulations par voies externe et interne. Les approches tissulaire, neurale et vasculaire y sont largement développées. L'ouvrage est didactique : la description des techniques est accompagnée de schémas et de photographies illustrant les différentes manipulations. La relation émotionnelle, l'impact social, le rôle du thérapeute, les indications et contre-indications, ainsi que certaines pathologies spécifiques à la sphère génito-urinaire sont autant d'aspects largement détaillés.

    L'utilisation de nouvelles techniques et thérapies fait sans cesse évoluer les traitements de l'insuffisance rénale, rendant nécessaire une actualisation régulière des soins infirmiers en dialyse, transplantation et néphrologie.

Ce guide de bonnes pratiques fournit toutes les informations indispensables sur les différentes pathologies de l'insuffisance rénale et leurs traitements dans l'optique d'une pratique quotidienne. Après un rappel historique et une présentation de l'état clinique et biologique de l'insuffisant rénal, il développe trois grands axes : - l'hémodialyse, - la dialyse péritonéale, - la transplantation. Cet ouvrage détaille ensuite les actes qui permettront à l'infirmier(e) un accompagnement optimal des patients selon leur profil : aspects diététiques, approche psychologique, sociale et économique, prise en charge en service de pédiatrie... Cette quatrième édition a été profondément actualisée tant du point de vue des protocoles de dialyse et des données cliniques sur le patient hémodialysé que des thérapeutiques d'immunosuppression, des dispositions légales entourant les greffes d'organe ou encore de la diététique du patient hémodialysé ou transplanté.

  • Interventions et thérapies brèves : 10 stratégies concrètes

    Crises et opportunités
    • 2nd Edition
    • Yves Doutrelugne + 4 more
    • French
    Si les thérapies brèves sont une méthode alternative aux approches traditionnelles et permettent une solution rapide pour un certain nombre de troubles psychologiques, elles bouleversent toutefois la relation d'aide dans le domaine psychologique, médical et psychiatrique mais aussi social. C'est pourquoi il est nécessaire d'apporter au thérapeute un éclairage clinique approfondi lui permettant de mieux maîtriser toutes les dimensions de ces thérapies.Par leur approche très pragmatique de ces différentes situations, les auteurs répondent ainsi aux questions que se posent les thérapeutes sur des thèmes aussi variés que les troubles anxieux, la dépression, l'alcoolisme, l'utilisation de la thérapie brève sous contrainte dans un service fermé ou avec des patients psychotiques.Pour cette nouvelle édition, entièrement mise à jour et augmentée, l'accent est mis sur l'apport des thérapies brèves dans les troubles du comportement alimentaires – anorexie, boulimie, vomissements – et dans l'arrêt du tabac. Un chapitre est par ailleurs consacré désormais à la théorie du mimétisme et des neurones miroirs et son intérêt dans la mise en place des thérapies brèves.Cet ouvrage s'adresse ainsi aux psychiatres, psychologues, psychothérapeutes, équipes soignantes et travailleurs sociaux.

    • English
    This issue details the latest knowledge of early diagnosis, risk factors, limited surgical treatments, and novel therapies for pancreatic diseases. Clinicians will learn the most prognostic scoring systems for acute pancreatitis, review the basics for early management of the disease, and see how current practice guidelines have evolved. Advances in radiological imaging when applied to the pancreas have resulted in enhanced staging and improved selection for surgical intervention. Endoscopy of the pancreas via both ERCP and endoscopic ultrasound has led to unprecedented access and potential for non-operative intervention. Pancreatic surgery now takes advantage of both minimally invasive approaches and techniques learned from organ transplantation. These latest advances are addressed in this issue by key opinion leaders.

    The impact of cardiovascular disease on an infant extends from the fetal period to well beyond childhood. Perinatalogists and neonatologists can impact maternal and fetal health through wide range of diagnostic modalities and interventional techniques. For our edition focused on cardiovascular health, we sought to encompass the breadth of knowledge that would be the most relevant for the bed side clinician. Our goal was to assemble contents that would allow a clinician to quickly peruse the journal, and then be prepared to make a medical decision. The interaction between cardiology and perinatology/neonato... includes genetics, diagnostics, interventions, counseling, routine stabilization and day to day care. Ultimately, the goal is to establish the foundation for a healthy adult. For this reason, we have even included chapters on topics that are significant on a day to day basis (such as the proper environment for a newborn) and a long term basis (like the overall neurodevelopmental impact of our interventions). Hopefully, whether in the middle of the night as an emergency reference or during the day as a reliable guide, this edition of Clinics in perinatology will be an important bedside tool for anyone that participates in the care of a patient with perinatal heart disease.
