  • Kinésithérapie respiratoire

    • 3rd Edition
    • Gregory Reychler + 2 more
    • French
    Destiné en premier lieu aux étudiants – futurs kinésithérapeutes, mais aussi aux praticiens confirmés –, cet ouvrage traite de façon détaillée l'ensemble des pratiques de kinésithérapie respiratoire. Fruit de la collaboration de plus de cinquante auteurs, kinésithérapeutes et médecins, l'ouvrage allie de façon didactique rigueur scientifique et « sagesse clinique » car, si les gestes sont rarement complexes, le choix des techniques à mettre en œuvre et leurs adaptations aux situations vécues par le patient réclament des connaissances, un savoir-faire et un savoir-être extrêmement larges et précis qui reposent sur des bases scientifiques et cliniques cohérentes. En accord avec la réforme en cours d'harmonisation des diplômes européens, l'ouvrage évite le surplus d'informations théoriques et privilégie la formation de compétences spécifiques aux différents contextes cliniques. Conçu dans une approche pragmatique à partir des symptômes, cet ouvrage sera pour l'étudiant comme pour le praticien kinésithérapeute un outil de référence pour une prise en charge réfléchie, judicieuse et efficace des pathologies respiratoires. Sa lecture sera également profitable aux médecins pneumologues, réanimateurs et aux autres professionnels de santé autour du patient respiratoire. Cette nouvelle édition offre une mise à jour complète de l'ensemble des références et des connaissances dans le domaine de la kinésithérapie respiratoire et propose un contenu conforme aux évolutions récentes dans la pratique de cette discipline. Dans le cadre de cette mise à jour, certains chapitres ont été complètement remaniés voire intégralement réécrits.

  • Cutaneous Lymphomas, An Issue of Surgical Pathology Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 7-2
    • Antonio Subtil
    • English
    Knowledge of cutaneous lymphomas has been growing significantly as a result of important discoveries in immunology, molecular biology, and immunohistochemistry... Improved clinical pathologic correlation and follow-up data, as well as the synergistic collaboration among different lymphoma registries and specialists from several academic medical centers have greatly contributed to the understanding of the difficult field of cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders. While these advances have increased understanding of skin lymphomas, they have also produced an extensive and sometimes confusing litany of articles, studies, and classification schemes. This issue on Cutaneous Lymphomas in Surgical Pathology Clinics provides an organized and updated review of this challenging topic by leading experts. It bridges critical knowledge gaps in the diagnosis of cutaneous lymphomas. Sezary Syndrome, Mycosis Fungoides and variants are presented along with B-cell, CD30, lymphoproliferative disorders among others. In addition to multiple clinical and microscopic images, tables and algorithms are presented to aid in diagnosis and staging. Beyond its usefulness to general pathologists, dermatopathologists, and hematopathologists, this information is intended to be helpful for dermatologists, hematologists/oncolo... fellows, and residents.

    • French
    La diététique est aujourd'hui, plus que jamais, une branche majeure de la thérapeutique. Confortée par les avancées physiopathologiques, les enquêtes épidémiologiques et les études d'intervention randomisées, la diététique va de pair avec l'arme pharmacologique dont elle en consolide les actions et permet parfois même d'en différer la mise en oeuvre. La diététique a une place privilégiée en prévention primaire, participe du traitement de nombreuses maladies, et en est parfois le traitement exclusif comme dans certaines maladies innées du métabolisme ou de la maladie coeliaque. Cependant, le recours à la diététique est souvent contraint par la lenteur et la difficulté de sa prescription qui fait appel à des connaissances spécifiques. Ce manuel de diététique a pour objectif de mettre à la portée des médecins de tous horizons et des diététicien(ne)s l'argumentaire et les clefs permettant l'élaboration d'une intervention diététique efficace et pertinente. Des fiches diététiques pour les prescripteurs facilitent l'applicabilité du régime décrit dans chaque situation, qu'il s'agisse de l'équilibre alimentaire, des maladies métaboliques, digestives, cardio-vasculaires, rénales, du cancer ou des intolérances alimentaires et des allergies. Les 55 fiches diététiques de l'ouvrage peuvent être téléchargées et imprimées sur le minisite www.em-consulte.com.

  • Respiratory Infections, An Issue of Clinics in Laboratory Medicine

    • English
    Acute respiratory infections are responsible for an estimated 4 million deaths annually worldwide, and are the leading cause of death in children younger than 5 years. Over 1 million people in the United States are hospitalized each year with pneumonia. Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects one third of world’s population. There are more than 1 million tuberculosis-related deaths worldwide each year. Emerging resistance to multiple available antimicrobial agents has hampered the ability to treat tuberculosis and hospital-acquired respiratory infections. The laboratory diagnosis of respiratory infections is an important part of patient management and treatment. In addition to culture isolation of pathogens, advances have been made in a number of non-culture methods. This issue of Clinics in Laboratory Medicinee reviews state-of-the-art laboratory diagnosis of respiratory infections, as well as the testing of susceptibility to antibiotics and antiviral agents. Among some of the respiratory infections covered are: Cystic fibrosis infections; Pertussis; Pharyngitis; Fungal infections. Among the diagnostic tests are: Interferon gamma release assays; Molecuar diagnosis of TB; Urine antigen tests and discussion of Antibiotic resistance in nosocomial respiratory infections.

  • Current Concepts in Neonatal Nutrition, An Issue of Clinics in Perinatology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 41-2
    • Brenda Poindexter
    • English
    Over the past several decades, advances in neonatal nutrition have focused on the provision of early parenteral nutrition and the development of formulas and supplements that most closely approximate maternal breast milk. The overall outcomes for infants, including premature infants, have greatly benefited from these advances, but there are still many nutritional unknowns that impact the lives of neonates. This is an exciting time in neonatal nutrition as the focus has shifted from survival and growth, which are still important goals, to effects of each micro/macronutrient on development, prevention of disease states such as ROP, the effects of neonatal nutrition on future health as an adult, and opportunities to improve long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes by optimal early nutrition. This issue focuses on aspects of enteral and parenteral nutrition that are at the forefront of neonatal care: assessing growth, parenteral nutrition components (including alternate lipid formulations), optimal storage and use of human milk (including donor milk), post-discharge nutrition, and the effects of various micro/macronutrients on long-term developmental outcomes. It is anticipated that the study and implementation of many of these novel concepts into the care of neonates, many of whom are severely premature, will be of value to practitioners, researchers, and, most of all, patients.
