  • Biochemistry

    • 4th Edition
    • U Satyanarayana
    • English
    This textbook ‘Biochemistry’ has become one of the most preferred text books (in India and many other countries) for the students as well as teachers in medical, biological and other allied sciences. The book has undergone three editions, several reprints, and revised reprints in a span of 13 years. There are many biochemistry textbooks in the market. Some of them are purely basic while others are applied, and there are very few books which cover both these aspects together. For this reason, the students learning biochemistry in their undergraduate courses have to depend on multiple books to acquire a sound knowledge of the subject. This book, ‘Biochemistry’ is unique with a simultaneous and equal emphasis on basic and applied aspects of biochemistry. This textbook offers an integration of medical and pure sciences, comprehensively written to meet the curriculum requirements of undergraduate courses in medical, dental, pharmacy, life-sciences and other categories (agriculture, veterinary, etc.). This book is designed to develop in students a sustained interest and enthusiasm to learn and develop the concepts in biochemistry in a logical and stepwise manner. It incorporates a variety of pedagogic aids, besides colour illustrations to help the students understand the subject quickly and to the maximum. The summary and biomedical/clinical concepts are intended for a rapid absorption and assimilation of the facts and concepts in biochemistry. The self-assessment exercises will stimulate the students to think rather than merely learn the subject. In addition, these exercises (essays, short notes, fill in the blanks, multiple choice questions) set at different difficulty levels, will cater to the needs of all the categories of learners.

    • French
    Sous l'influence des patientes et des économistes de la santé, l'hystéroscopie, diagnostique puis opératoire, est progressivement devenue une pratique quasi exclusive de chirurgie ambulatoire gynécologique. Elle est aujourd'hui reconnue comme une technique chirurgicale à part entière, dans un champ d'action qui va du domaine de la reproduction à celui de la pathologie dominante de la 5e décade, représentée par les ménométrorragies. Il s'agit d'une chirurgie fine, nécessitant un matériel dédié et des techniques spécifiques, enrichie ces dernières années grâce au développement des nouvelles technologies (bipolaire, miniaturisation des optiques, etc.). La fertiloscopie, technique encore peu diffusée, est particulièrement intéressante dans la prise en charge de l'infertilité en raison de son abord chirurgical mini-invasif. Pour chaque chapitre est indiqué le niveau de difficulté de réalisation des actes proposés ainsi qu'un encadré spécifique concernant les principaux éléments à retenir. L'information à donner aux patientes n'a pas été oubliée.De nombreux dessins explicatifs et des clichés opératoires sont associés à chaque chapitre afin de les rendre plus didactiques en identifiant clairement l'instrumentation et les temps opératoires. Cet ouvrage, résolument pratique et didactique, a été conçu comme un manuel de référence pour l'apprentissage de nouvelles techniques ou le perfectionnement dans le cadre d'une démarche de développement professionnel continu (DPC). Il permettra à tous les chirurgiens gynécologues-obstétr... d'appréhender ces techniques dans leur pratique au quotidien.

Ce livre est destiné aux thérapeutes désireux de constituer un atelier d'art-thérapie et à toute personne intéressée par les psychothérapies à médiation artistique (psychologues, paramédicaux, éducateurs, etc.).

  • Addictologie

    • 2nd Edition
    • Michel Lejoyeux
    • French
    La diversité des conduites addictives est devenue un problème de santé majeur en termes de prévention et de soins. Un regroupement des pratiques, des moyens et des lieux de soins s'est opéré autour de l'addiction elle-même, dont la diversité des objets n'entame pas l'unité structurelle. Ainsi l'addictologie s'est constituée en discipline nouvelle s'intéressant à l'ensemble des aspects cliniques, biologiques, socioculturels et thérapeutiques des conduites addictives. En réunissant les plus grands spécialistes de l'addiction, cette 2e édition enrichie se fait l'écho de ces avancées par son approche globale. Chaque produit fait l'objet d'un chapitre spécifique : alcool, tabac, cannabis, opiacés, cocaïne et les problématiques transversales telles que « grossesse et addiction » ou « adolescence et addiction » sont exposées. Un nouveau chapitre sur les dépendances comportementales (achats compulsifs, dépendance au bronzage, à l'exercice physique, etc.) a aussi été ajouté. La description des prises en charge les plus efficaces comme les TCC, psychothérapies de groupe, communautés thérapeutiques ainsi que des échelles et des questionnaires aideront le praticien dans sa pratique quotidienne.

    Que doit savoir l'ophtalmologiste sur le strabisme dans sa pratique quotidienne ? Les réponses à cette question guident la rédaction et les choix thématiques du rapport SFO 2013. Dans un contexte d'hyper-spécialisati... et d'évolution extrêmement rapide des connaissances, des pratiques et de l'organisation professionnelle le rapporteur et les co-auteurs dressent un panorama du strabisme et des pathologies associées. Le rapport aborde les symptômes du strabisme, de l'amblyopie, du nystagmus aussi bien chez le nourrisson, l'enfant et l'adulte. Les rapporteurs insistent sur l'importance de la "correction optique" pour diminuer l'incidence du strabisme, les indications et contre-indications de la rééducation, les stratégies thérapeutiques médicales ou chirurgicales. Il accorde aussi une large place aux aspects psychosociaux de cette pathologie qui reste la maladie de toute une vie.
