Die Diagnostik erfordert hier neben grundlegendem Wissen über die Verbreitung und den Lebenszyklus der einzelnen Parasiten auch Kenntnisse über die sichersten Nachweisverfahren in den unterschiedlichen Stadien einer Infektion. In diesen Leitlinien wird deshalb das Gesamtgebiet der Laboratoriumsdiagnos... von Parasiten-Infektione... beschrieben. Im Allgemeinen Teil werden Besonderheiten dargestellt, die für die Auswahl der Patienten und der Untersuchungsmateria... sowie den Versand zu beachten sind. Weiterhin werden Untersuchungsmethode... gezeigt, die in jedem parasitologischen Labor Anwendung finden. Im Speziellen Teil folgen, thematisch geordnet, alle relevanten Parasitosen mit Angabe des Erregers, seiner Verbreitung und ein Hinweis zum Infektionszyklus. Der Untersuchungsgang wird so dargestellt, dass der Leser erkennen kann, an welcher Stelle des Untersuchungsganges ggf. die Unterstützung durch ein Fachlabor erforderlich ist (Stufendiagnostik). Im Anhang findet sich ein tabellarischer Überblick über die erforderlichen Probenmaterialien und den darin zu erwartenden Erregern und auch Hinweise auf die von Parasiten ausgelösten klinischen Symptome. Eine tabellarische, alphabetisch geordnete Auflistung aller behandelten Parasitosen ermöglicht zum Abschluss eine schnelle Orientierung über eine sinnvolle Anordnung der Untersuchungsgänge.

  • Psychiatrie légale et criminologie clinique
    • 1st Edition
    • Jean-Louis Senon + 2 more
    • French
    Depuis toujours, psychiatrie et droit, comme santé et justice sont à la recherche d'un difficile équilibre pour mieux soigner et protéger toute personne souffrant de troubles mentaux. Aussi, avec la naissance de la clinique dans le sillage du Traité médico-philosophique sur l'aliénation mentale de Pinel, les aliénistes ont accordé une place centrale à la clinique médicolégale pour reconnaître le malade au-delà du trouble du comportement, et lui apporter les soins indispensables. Cet ouvrage offre une place particulière à la protection de la personne malade et aux soins sans consentement prévus par la loi du 5 juillet 2011 et réformée en 2013. Dans une première partie de psychiatrie légale, après avoir traité de l'organisation des soins en psychiatrie et de la législation hospitalière, il aborde la responsabilité médicale, le droit des patients, la rédaction des certificats et les différentes formes d'expertise en psychiatrie au niveau pratique. En outre, depuis les années 1980, la pratique des équipes de psychiatrie s'intéresse particulièrement à la clinique du passage à l'acte et à la victimologie. Ainsi, la seconde partie, consacrée à la criminologie clinique, s'applique à définir les notions essentielles du droit pénal, puis les aspects cliniques : agression, dangerosité, violences, homicides, victimologie. Destiné aux psychiatres et aux psychologues, cet ouvrage ne se cantonne pas aux cliniciens ou aux experts et peut être utile à tous les professionnels confrontés à la maltraitance, aux violences conjugales et familiales ou encore aux agressions sexuelles.

This issue of PCNA highlights the important populations, disease states, and technological advancements in pediatric emergency medicine. Although concussion and head injury are common occurrences for the practicing pediatrician, we now better understand how to evaluate and manage these children and to use CT scans appropriately. Pediatric offices need to be incorporated in any emergency plan for both acute emergencies and common injuries. Analgesia and sedation must always be considered to provide comfort for children. Technologically assisted children and children with acute psychiatric and behavioral problems are now more commonplace in the Emergency Department as well as the office setting, and the practicing pediatrician needs to have a clear plan in understanding these medical conditions and appropriate management and referral. New drugs of abuse and foreign body ingestions are prevalent and have unique diagnostic and treatment challenges. Skin infections and abscesses have always been common but our knowledge of resistance patterns and best practices for treatment is changing. Finally, whether it is the pediatric office practitioner or the Emergency medicine physician, we need to continue our important efforts in injury prevention for the future of our children.
