  • Virus émergents et ré-émergents
    • 1st Edition
    • Hervé Fleury
    • French
    Le concept de maladie émergente regroupe des critères précis qui permettent d'identifier des syndromes ou des agents infectieux potentiellement candidats à l'émergence et qu'il est donc nécessaire de placer sous surveillance. Pour les agents viraux, la notion d'émergence s'applique à :- un syndrome qui associe de façon originale une étiologie et des symptômes non observés jusque-là par la médecine (maladie nouvelle stricto sensu), comme le SIDA ;- une affection qui n'avait encore jamais été identifiée dans une zone géographique ou un environnement humain donné, comme le virus West Nile aux États-Unis ;- une affection qui réapparaît dans une région où elle avait disparu ou dans un nouvel environnement, comme la fièvre jaune ou la dengue hémorragique en Amérique du Sud ;- une affection dont l'étiologie est nouvellement décrite (maladie connue, mais virus récemment identifié), comme les fièvres hémorragiques dues aux virus Ebola et Lassa.- une affection liée à un nouveau virus issu du réservoir animal et qui induit une pandémie humaine de dimension inégalée (SARS CoV 2)Après le rappel des grandes notions sur les virus émergents ou ré-émergents et les conditions qui les favorisent, l’ouvrage présente l'ensemble des virus émergents actuels en distinguant les virus non véhiculés par les insectes et les arbovirus. Pour chaque virus seront présentés les données virologiques, la physiopathologie, la transmission, l'épidémiologie, les manifestations cliniques, le diagnostic (tests et examens complémentaires), le traitement (individuel et communautaire) et la prévention. Un chapitre de perspectives et d'hypothèses sur les prochaines pandémies virales qui pourraient survenir complète l'ouvrage.Destiné aux spécialistes qui sont en première ligne pour la surveillance des virus et de leur évolution (virologistes, infectiologues, internistes, biologistes de laboratoire, pharmaciens et vétérinaires), l’ouvrage s’adresse également à tous les praticiens susceptibles d’être confrontés aux manifestations cliniques de ces infections virales et qui doivent pouvoir les suspecter et/ou les traiter (médecins généralistes, médecins humanitaires…). Les données historiques et épidémiologiques exposées pour chaque virus pourront concerner un public plus large s’intéressant à ce thème d’actualité.

    Le raisonnement clinique, colonne vertébrale de l’activité infirmière, est fortement valorisé dans le référentiel de formation en soins infirmiers actuel et à venir, il est indispensable pour atteindre les objectifs de soins du patient.Dans cet ouvrage, l’auteur propose une approche ludique novatrice du raisonnement clinique en s’inspirant des piliers facilitateurs de l’apprentissage : il place le soignant dans le rôle d’un détective qui collecte les données médicales et paramédicales indispensables à l’identification des problèmes de santé du patient. Pour apprendre au soignant à établir un bon raisonnement clinique, il utilise de nouveaux outils comme Louis et ses 14 catégories qui permet d’avoir une vision globale de la situation clinique et une analyse rapide des données médicales de celle-ci.Cette 2e édition remise à jour est composée de six parties : les cinq premières abordent les fondements du raisonnement clinique et la dernière propose une synthèse en images des bases fondamentales à acquérir dans le raisonnement clinique infirmier. La principale nouveauté de cette édition est l’intégration d’un chapitre attractif sur les modèles conceptuels et les théories de soins. L’ensemble constitue un contenu synthétique et efficace qui fait de l’ouvrage un outil indispensable à tout étudiant infirmier, mais aussi aux tuteurs et aux encadrants de proximité.
