  • Child Maltreatment, An Issue of Pediatric Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 61-5
    • Howard Dubowitz
    • English
    Pediatric primary care provides a unique opportunity to tackle child abuse and neglect. In the United States in particular, primary care is a well-established system, and most children have multiple visits, especially in the first few years. There is typically a very good relationship between parents and health professionals, who are respected experts on children. The interested pediatrician, thus, has a remarkable entrée into the workings of a family, its shortcomings, and its strengths. With some knowledge and skill, pediatricians can play a pivotal role, even in a few strategic minutes. We know, however, that some professionals feel very uncomfortable becoming involved in this unpleasant area and may be deterred from taking any action. Understandable as this may be, it can jeopardize a child’s health and safety. Hopefully, this issue of Pediatric Clinics of North America will help make this work a bit easier, albeit not easy. With training and support, pediatricians can equip themselves to be competent and more comfortable addressing child maltreatment. Aside from the possible forensic implications, the heart of this work is primarily about helping families take adequate or good care of their children. Indeed, helping address child abuse and neglect also helps promote children’s health, development, and safety, and it is central to the rich mandate of Pediatrics.

  • Du symptôme à la prescription en médecine générale

    • French
    Le praticien dispose d'un grand nombre de techniques d'imagerie et de tests de laboratoire qui lui permettent d'effectuer des examens poussés pour ses patients. Cependant, il faut resituer cet arsenal technique au sein d'une médecine globale, car tous ces moyens modernes et pointus n'ont pas diminué la proportion des erreurs médicales. Aujourd'hui encore, recueillir de façon exhaustive les antécédents et les symptômes du patient et procéder à un examen physique approfondi, sont les étapes préalables à une bonne prise en charge thérapeutique. « Partir du symptôme pour éviter l'erreur médicale », tel est le principe de cet ouvrage qui recense tous les symptômes que peut rencontrer le médecin dans sa pratique quotidienne. Ce guide pratique et complet permet de poser le bon diagnostic, prescrire le traitement adapté en réduisant le risque d'erreur, et/ou orienter le patient vers un spécialiste pour une prise en charge plus complète. Les auteurs, internistes et praticiens hospitaliers, se sont appuyés sur l'expérience d'un généraliste de terrain. Ils partent des symptômes classés par régions anatomiques du corps, détaillent les étapes de l'examen clinique et les examens complémentaires à demander, la conduite à tenir face à une anomalie de l'examen physique ou du bilan biologique de routine, et les dépistages actuellement recommandés. L'utilisation de cet ouvrage est facilitée par un index des symptômes, des maladies et des traitements. De même la thérapeutique est mise en avant pour être repérée du premier coup d'oeil. Fort du succès de la première édition et face aux évolutions permanentes de la médecine, une nouvelle édition de cet ouvrage de référence s'imposait. L'intégralité des chapitres a été revue pour prendre en compte la découverte de nouvelles pathologies (par exemple le syndrome des anti-synthétases, ou de nouvelles causes de surcharge ferrique) et les nombreux progrès thérapeutiques (essor des biothérapies, prise en charge des thrombopénies auto-immunes, nouveaux traitements anti-viraux pour le traitement des hépatites B ou C, etc.). De nombreux chapitres ont été ajoutés (neutropénie, gammapathies monoclonales, etc.).

    • English
    The management of infertility using acupuncture is an expanding area of practice and one which is frequently rewarding for TCM acupuncture practitioners. Acupuncture for IVF and Assisted Reproduction has been specially prepared to meet the growing demand for information in this area and draws upon 20 years combined experience of the authors together with the latest evidence from both orthodox medicine and TCM. Richly illustrated and clearly written throughout, the book takes the reader through the anatomy and physiology of reproductive medicine (from both an orthodox and TCM perspective) and explains the underlying basis of orthodox medical fertility tests and investigations. The volume then explores the pathology and aetiology of TCM syndromes and shows how common fertility-related conditions, such as endometriosis and male factor infertility, affect Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) success rates. It explains in great detail how to take a reproductive medical history and successfully diagnose TCM syndromes. Acupuncture for IVF and Assisted Reproduction also provides guidelines on how to regulate the menstrual cycle in preparation for IVF treatment and shows how lifestyle can affect fertility and ART success rates. Placing a strong emphasis on the practical aspects of patient care, Acupuncture for IVF and Assisted Reproduction contains an abundance of case history templates, algorithmic acupuncture treatment pathways and patient fact sheets and will be ideal for all acupuncture practitioners working in this field. "A must have for the bookshelf of any acupuncturist who is ever called upon to treat fertility issues - if you have room for one book this surely must be it." Reviewed by The Acupuncture Fertility Centre March 2015 "Practitioners of all levels of experience and TCM students should find it compelling reading and an invaluable companion to their learning." Reviewed by Stephen Clarke, Journal of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society May 2015 "This book is extremely well re-searched and referenced."

  • ADHD: Non-Pharmacologic Interventions, An Issue of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 23-4
    • Stephen V. Faraone
    • English
    This issue of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics provides an overview of childhood traumatic exposures and their impact for health care providers: child and adolescent psychiatrists, general psychiatrists, other pediatric behavioral health providers and primary care clinicians. Children in the United States are exposed to trauma more frequently than most clinicians are aware - either as a single occurrence, or through repeated events. These exposures result in neurobiological, developmental and clinical sequelae that can undermine children's health and well-being. This publication describes the multiple types of traumatic exposures and their sequelae, methods of screening and assessment, and principles of effective prevention and clinical treatment. Emphasis is on areas of particular relevance to children - disasters, war, domestic violence, school and community violence, sexual victimization, complex trauma - and differentiates disasters as unique traumas, requiring trauma-informed systems of care to effectively meet the needs of the exposed population. The third section of the issue describes strategies for primary prevention - violence prevention, useful public policies - and risk mitigation - skill and resilience building strategies. Evidence based treatments for trauma-induced clinical disorders are reviewed.

  • Esophageal Function Testing, An Issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 24-4
    • John Pandolfino
    • English
    This issue devoted to Esophageal Function Testing highlights these tests that are complimentary to endoscopy and should be considered after endoscopy is performed. In fact, a prerequisite for performing many of these studies is a negative endoscopy and thus, the endoscopist should be well-informed regarding the indication and utility of these tests. Additionally, some of these newer technologies require endoscopy to be performed during the study as the placement or positioning of the measurement tool will require endoscopic landmarks or direct placement. There have been major advances in most of these older techniques, and new novel measurement paradigms have been created that allow for a more visual and accurate depiction of physiologic and anatomic data. These technologies have evolved to be more akin to an imaging technique and thus, the visual display and data acquisition is much more intuitive and easier to teach to trainees. This review would be of the utmost importance to readers of GI Endoscospy Clinics.

  • Integrating Evidence into Practice for Impact, An Issue of Nursing Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 49-3
    • Debra Mark
    • English
    This issue begins with an overview that distinguishes evidence-based practice (EBP) and translation science, followed by a description of Hawaii’s statewide EBP program that uses active and multifaceted translation science strategies to facilitate the rate and extent of adoption of EBP changes. With one exception, the remaining articles describe individual EBP projects from five different health care facilities that used the Iowa Model to guide their work. Each article includes an evidence summary, a description of implementation strategies, an evaluation of the innovation, and lessons learned. These completed projects were initiated between 2009 and 2012, address a variety of topical nursing issues, and, for the most part, focus on preventing complications (ie, blood sugar elevations, increased lengths of stay, extubation failures, noise-related injury, pain, surgical site infections, pneumonia, restraint use, delirium, and fever). An additional article describes the use of evidence to inform simulation-based learning, a possible strategy for ensuring competencies in and compliance with EBP interventions. Nursing leaders will come away with solid information about utilizing EBP to improve patient outcomes. The Hawaii program demonstrates that health care quality can be realized by employing the best available evidence and empowering the nursing workforce. It also offers a glimpse of the care that the future nursing workforce could provide to create a health system that provides accessible, affordable and quality care to everyone in the United States.

  • Pelvic Pain in Women, An Issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 41-3
    • Mary T. McLennan
    • English
    This issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America attempts to provide an overview of the more common causes of chronic pelvic pain in women. It brings together experts in various fields of gynecology, gastroenterology, physical therapy, and urogynecology in an attempt to discuss the wide variety of common clinical conditions that can manifest as pain. The intent is to enable the physician to consider not only the common gynecologic causes but also the common nongynecologic causes based on certain symptom profiles and targeted clinical examination. Should the physician not feel comfortable in treating the nongynecologic causes, it would enable them to target their referral to a more appropriate physician rather than the patient being referred back to a general primary care physician. It is our hope that it will enable the reader to see the pelvis not as an ovary or a uterus but as a whole system of interacting organs, muscles, and nerves. In addtiion, there is very little in the Obstetrics and Gynecology literature about the treatment of the pain component with opioid and nonopioid medications. As one of my colleagues frequently states, we can treat the pain but not necessarily alleviate the suffering. The overview of complementary and alternative medications and opioid use will hopefully be useful to the practicing physician as it provides an evidence-based approach to the use of these therapies specifically for chronic pelvic pain.
