  • Traité d'imagerie vasculaire

    • 1st Edition
    • Francis Joffre
    • French
    Ce traité comble une importante lacune de l'imagerie vasculaire, puisqu'il actualise l'ensemble des données suite à l'explosion des nouvelles techniques d'imagerie. Depuis l'époque de l'angiographie diagnostique par cathétérisme vasculaire, l'imagerie des vaisseaux a subi une double révolution : - d'une part, l'essor de l'imagerie en coupes qui a pratiquement remplacé l'angiographie diagnostique, dans la plupart des situations cliniques, - d'autre part, l'explosion de la radiologie interventionnelle endovasculaire, qui conserve, dans beaucoup de situations, l'angiographie comme méthode de guidage. L'étude radiologique des vaisseaux se situe aujourd'hui au centre des discussions multidisciplinaires concernant la pathologie purement vasculaire, mais également la pathologie de beaucoup d'organes alimentés par ces vaisseaux. Ce traité offre une synthèse des connaissances actuelles sur l'imagerie diagnostique des vaisseaux, la composante interventionnelle n'étant pas abordée. Il propose une mise au point des principales techniques actuellement utilisées, chaque territoire vasculaire étant abordé par un chapitre de radio-anatomie, suivi de chapitres touchant les principales pathologies rencontrées, avec trois axes de développement : particularités techniques, séméiologie radiologique et place de l'imagerie dans la prise en charge des patients. Ce traité est le résultat de la contribution d'auteurs éminents, pour la plupart membres particulièrement investis dans la Société française d'imagerie cardiaque et vasculaire (SFICV), société d'organe de la Société française de radiologie (SFR). Indispensable à l'ensemble des radiologistes et en particulier ceux ayant une activité de radiologie interventionnelle endovasculaire, cet ouvrage s'adresse également à tout médecin vasculaire, cardiologue, chirurgien vasculaire participant au nécessaire dialogue interdisciplinaire autour des patients porteurs de ces pathologies.

  • Atlas des artères perforantes de la peau, du tronc et des membres

    Applications cliniques et indications thérapeutiques
    • 1st Edition
    • Fabien Boucher + 1 more
    • French
    La chirurgie des lambeaux consiste à transposer des tissus à vascularisation autonome d'une région anatomique à une autre. Grâce aux progrès technologiques et aux études d'anatomie vasculaire de plus en plus approfondies, cette chirurgie a évolué pour aboutir plus récemment au concept de « lambeau perforant ». Ce concept permet d'allier sécurité vasculaire, qualité de la reconstruction et réduction des séquelles fonctionnelles et esthétiques. La technique chirurgicale de prélèvement repose sur une dissection microchirurgicale de la perforante dominante, naissant d'une artère source. Celle-ci est repérée et analysée, en préopératoire, par examen ultrasonographique ou tomographique numérisé. Ces lambeaux sont particulièrement intéressants pour couvrir des pertes de substance cervico-faciales ou réaliser des reconstructions mammaires. L'ouvrage proposé est construit comme un atlas qui donne les localisations préférentielles des artères perforantes cutanées, indique de quelle artère source elles sont issues et où elles se situent par rapport à des repères anatomiques précis. L'iconographie, originale et novatrice, présente pour chaque artère source, ses groupements de perforantes correspondants. Un tableau synthétique rappelle les informations principales de chacun de ces groupements de perforantes : réalisation ou non d'un lambeau libre, possibilité de prélever les vaisseaux sources ou non, longueur moyenne du pédicule perforant, surface moyenne de la palette cutanée. Le rôle et l'importance de l'imagerie peropératoire sont abordés ainsi que les applications cliniques. Cet atlas s'adresse aux chirurgiens plasticiens, aux chirurgiens généraux et viscéraux, aux chirurgiens orthopédistes ou vasculaires ainsi qu'aux anatomistes.

  • L'EMDR

    Préserver la santé et prendre en charge la maladie
    • 1st Edition
    • Cyril Tarquinio + 1 more
    • French
    L'Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, ou EMDR, est une thérapie relativement récente qui bénéficie de résultats exceptionnels dans le domaine de la recherche, pour le traitement des traumatismes et plus spécifiquement dans la prise en charge des patients souffrant d'état de stress post-traumatique (ESPT). La pratique clinique montre que l'EMDR peut également s'avérer d'une grande pertinence lorsqu'il s'agit d'optimiser le bien-être ou encore de prendre en charge les personnes atteintes par la maladie chronique, notamment lorsqu'elles sont confrontées aux troubles anxiodépressifs, voire psychotraumatiques, qu'impose souvent la survenue de la maladie. Ce livre, qui s'adresse à la fois aux psychothérapeutes et aux chercheurs, interroge les fondements théoriques et les postures cliniques et psychopathologiques de l'EMDR. Les deux premiers chapitres en posent les bases historiques, scientifiques et pratiques. Chacun des six chapitres suivants explore une situation clinique qui illustre la perspective toujours originale et intégrative des auteurs dans leur pratique de l'EMDR. Ces derniers expliquent les fondements de leur approche qu'ils n'hésitent pas à articuler avec d'autres méthodes pour une prise en charge la plus globale et heuristique possible. Chaque chapitre est l'occasion d'apports cliniques et interventionnels qui fournissent aux praticiens un outillage psychothérapeutique tant théorique que pratique, riche et adapté. Bien que tous deux cliniciens depuis de nombreuses années, c'est aussi l'exigence universitaire des auteurs qui s'exprime dans ce livre.

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 24-2
    • Margaret Benningfield
    • English
    This publication promotes school based mental health services as a means for increasing access to care and for early intervention. There are 3 levels of intervention in school-based mental health: 1. Universal promotion/prevention... Implementing whole-school approaches (including training teachers and administrators) to ensure and foster wellness. 2. Targeted prevention: Providing prevention services for youth at-risk of developing mental health problems. 3. Indicated services: Providing assessment and direct care for youth with identified mental health needs. The approach of this Issue presents current evidence-based practice in schools and review of schools as a vital part of systems of care for youth. In addition to psychiatrists, this issue addresses collaboration with families, educators, administrators, social workers, counselors and psychologists. The Editors leading this issue are from Vanderbilt University and University of Maryland. Both Vanderbilt and Maryland have well-established clinical programs that provide a full continuum of mental health services, including "indicated services" to serve youth with mental health diagnoses (i.e., severe psychiatric disorders). Psychiatrists are part of the treatment team, and work directly in the school or provide consultation (often via telehealth technologies). Given that family engagement is a major part of making therapies work effectively, partnering with families is a critical part of the treatment process.

  • Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesia: Critical Care Nursing in the Operating Room, An Issue of Critical Care Nursing Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 27-1
    • Holly-May Robins
    • English
    APRNs are essential to deliver healthcare in today’s complex environment. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists have met that challenge for over 150 years. Nurse Anesthetists have shifted from the intensive care unit as critical care nurses into the operating room arena. The operating room is an environment that is uniquely challenging. A critical care background is essential to meet these challenges, and all Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists share that experience. The topic; "Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesia: Critical Care Nursing in the Operating Room", highlights critical care nursing as it is applied in the operating room setting. Critical care nurses will appreciate the knowledge base that is essential for the anesthetist. As healthcare reform demands greater efficiency, more and more procedures are performed outside the operating room. The line between the Operating Room, ICU and Interventional Radiology will become less defined. Critical care nurses are, and will be more involved in patient care while an anesthetic is administered. It is the goal of this proposed monograph to share knowledge and experience so that ICU nurses will learn more about caring for the anesthetized patient.

    • Peter F. Buckley
    • English
    Physical health and mental health are inextricably linked together. Moreover, as the biology of mental illnesses is gradually – and inexorably – being elucidated, the overlap between physical illnesses and mental illnesses has become even more apparent. These observations ‘set the stage’ for readers of this issue of Psychiatric Clinics in which a variety of articles are presented from all aspects of medicine - from emergency mental health to how burn patients heal and cope with the physical and mental outcomes, to coverage of issues such as prolonged stay in the intensive care unit, comorbidities in the elderly, food allergies, depression and other common primary care conditions, and childhood diabetes. A primer on interviewing techniques and role play is presented along with the role of nurses who cross both mental and physical aspects of healthcare and the essential role of a supportive family to the interdiscipinary team .
