March's Advanced Organic Chemistry : Reactions, Mechanisms, and Structure
The opening chapters of March's Advanced Organic Chemistry deal with the structure of organic compounds and discuss important organic chemistry bonds, fundamental principles of conformation, and stereochemistry of organic molecules, and reactive intermediates in organic chemistry. Further coverage concerns general principles of mechanism in organic chemistry, including acids and bases, photochemistry, sonochemistry and microwave irradiation. The relationship between structure and reactivity is also covered.
Management of the Addicted Patient in Primary Care
لThe text is logically organized and key information is easily accessible. The introductory section offers the reader important background and rationale for evaluating and treating addiction in primary care. Following a useful presentation of addiction "basics" (i.e., definitions, neurobiology, genetics, and the disease model), the majority of the book focuses on helping the physician gain insight and develop practical skills that can be readily implemented. A wealth of clinical assessment tools is provided, and the underlying psychosocial processes common to all forms of addiction are discussed. Both pharmacologic interventions and nonpharmalogic modalities are clearly outlined. Of particular note are specific cognitive-behavioral and motivational strategies that can be administered in an office-based setting. The role of community-based recovery support systems is considered as well. Since a complete understanding of why and when to refer is critical to the management of this often life-threatening condition, criteria for referral are detailed. Bulleted clinical "pearls" further aid the reader in gaining insight into treating this difficult patient population.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Ischemic Stroke
The imaging of stroke has undergone significant changes owing to the rapid progress in imaging technology. This volume, comprising three parts, is designed to provide a comprehensive summary of the current role of MR imaging in patients with ischemic stroke. The first part outlines the clinical presentations of stroke and discusses the diagnostic efficacy and therapeutic impact of MR imaging. The second and third parts form the core of the volume, and are based on a novel approach in that the topic is presented from two very different viewpoints. Part 2 provides a detailed presentation of the distinguishing features of stroke from the radiologist's perspective. By contrast, part 3 addresses the needs of the clinician, documenting specific stroke syndromes and their correlates on MR imaging. The overall aim has been to create a well-illustrated volume with broad appeal that links pathology, radiology and stroke medicine in an informative manner.
Living Rivers : Trends and Challenges in Science and Management
All over the world, sustainable river basin management is a leading principle of policy plans and legal instruments for water management (e.g. the European Water Framework Directive). The evidence, however, to underpin the full scope of sustainability is rather scanty. In this book an integrative perspective on trends and challenges in river science and management is demonstrated. The three pillars underneath sustainable water management, ecology, economy and sociology, are elaborated by experts in their fields. A number of papers integrate the current knowledge on the structure, functioning and management of ‘living rivers’. The book includes data and experiences concerning the rivers Allier, Meuse, Rhine, Sava and Tagliamento in Europe and the river Illinois in the USA. Sustainable river basin management asks for un-orthodox rehabilitation programmes and ecosystem based and transboundary management approaches.
Liver Radioembolization with Y90 Microspheres
Provides an in-depth account of all aspects of radioembolization, a relatively novel technique based on the efficacy of radiotherapy for the treatment of liver tumors.
Linsuffisance cardiaque aiguë = Acute heart failure
Acute heart failure is one of the oldest described medical conditions. However, although its clinical symptomatology is fairly obvious and known to everyone: dyspnea, liver pain, crackles on auscultation, the epidemiology has only been explored for very recent years. In all of the cardiology and resuscitation books of the past 40 years, acute heart failure has been considered a catch-all ranging from acute simple lung edema in hypertensive crisis to cardiogenic shock following heart attack. myocardium. It was all called "acute heart failure." This book is based on the recent Recommendations of the European Society of Cardiology and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine which advocate the designation "Acute heart failure syndrome" in which the decompensation of heart failure chronic, hypertensive surge, cardiogenic shock, right heart failure, and high output heart failure are separate entities.
Lifestyle psychiatry through the lens of behavioral medicine
Lifestyle medicine is a practice which adopts evidence-based lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to prevent, treat, and reverse chronic diseases. The six main pillars of this specialty include physical activity, nutrition, stress resilience, cessation or risk reduction of substance use, quality sleep, and connectivity. Lifestyle psychiatry is a rapidly emerging area within healthcare informed by rigorous research within the social and biological sciences, public health, and medicine. A volume in the Lifestyle Medicine series, this book uses a comprehensive biopsychosocial approach to prevent and treat psychiatric disorders and promote mental and physical well-being through evidence-based lifestyle interventions.
Lifestyle nutrition eating for good health by lowering the risk of chronic diseases
Provides physicians with an evidence-based introduction to nutrition science with a practical emphasis on how to apply this information to improve the health of their patients and enhance their own lives. From nutrition and atherosclerosis to erectile dysfunction and chronic kidney disease to osteoporosis, this comprehensive guide covers a wide range of conditions influenced by diet. It delves into specialized areas, such as nutrition for physically active people to the elderly, ensuring relevance for diverse patient populations. The reader will find detailed analysis of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020–2025 and their applications and strategies for adopting healthy plant-based diets, such as Mediterranean, DASH, and vegan.
Lifestyle nursing
Examines the concepts of lifestyle medicine and nursing practice, it is specifically designed to help nurses introduce the concepts of lifestyle medicine to readers while also encouraging them to focus on their own wellness. This book features nutritional guidelines and supplemental materials operationalizing this basic nutrition knowledge into personal and patient wellness. It addresses evidence-based findings of chronic diseases including heart diseases and stroke, type 2 diabetes, and cancers, which can often be prevented by lifestyle interventions.
Les prothèses tricompartimentaires du genou de première intention : Techniques opératoires. Problèmes et solutions = Primary tricompartmental knee replacement : Surgical techniques, problems, and solutions
It seems difficult and presumptuous to want to write a book on total knee replacement. There are many quality works dealing with this subject. The knee prosthesis has, from its origin, particularly in the United States, given rise to considerable studies in all directions: biomechanical, physiological, biological and industrial. Our goal is to offer the youngest a book of simple knowledge without pretension of completeness or prejudice as to long debated subjects (conservation or not of the posterior cruciate ligament, cement or without cement, resurfacing or not of the patella, fixed plate or mobile platform, etc.), and to give practical advice based on our experience. Why limit yourself to first-line tricompartmentals? Because it is the most common solution to the usual degenerative knee problems. In addition, unicompartment and revision prostheses will be the subject of further literature. Everyone knows that to put a knee prosthesis model, and therefore to a system. However, it is important to be able to keep your freedom of analysis in order to maintain your freedom of choice. You have to know how to put on a knee prosthesis without compromise or fanaticism. Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies. Nietzsche
Les infections urinaires = Urinary tract infections
Les Infections urinaires provides an update on knowledge concerning the epidemiology of community-based infection, on the mechanisms of bacterial resistance and on certain aspects of the disease useful to urologists as well as infectious diseases, gynecologists, emergency physicians and attending physicians. . Nosocomial urinary tract infection is approached from the perspective of risk factors. Acute and chronic prostatitis was the subject of a consensus conference supported by the World Health Organization within the framework of the International Consensus Conferences in Urology in Paris. The full text and the recommendations are reported with the consent of their authors. This book is an author's book and not an author's book because urinary tract infection is multiple, complex and justifies a multidisciplinary approach.
Les douleurs abdominales en questions : Rôle physiopathologique de la sensibilité viscérale = Abdominal pain in question : The pathophysiological role of visceral sensitivity
The gut-brain axis refers to the network of nerve pathways that connect the myenteric plexus, the veritable "gut brain," to the central nervous system. Nearly 80% of these neurons are sensory neurons, and the afferent pathways that transmit information from the digestive tract to the central nervous system play a crucial role in the physiological regulation of digestive functions, as well as in certain pathological conditions. A large majority of these sensations remain unconscious and give rise to reflex responses. Only those requiring a conscious response reach the level of awareness in a normal state (hunger, thirst, the urge to defecate). In pathological situations, the same is true for painful sensations of digestive origin. Functional bowel disorders are a frequent reason for consultation. Their pathophysiology is now based on a model integrating the various etiological factors around the brain-gut axis. These patients frequently present with visceral hypersensitivity, which manifests as an increased perception of digestive sensations, notably the onset of pain in response to stimuli that are not painful in normal subjects. Recognizing the role of visceral hypersensitivity has made it possible to explain the mechanism of action of medications used to treat functional bowel disorders and paves the way for the development of new molecules acting on digestive afferents. In this book, we will describe the anatomical and physiological basis for understanding the concept of visceral sensitivity and the role of digestive afferents in the pathophysiology of acute and chronic abdominal pain, particularly irritable bowel syndrome.
Left-right asymmetry in vertebrate development
A host of studies has unravelled the involvement of many genes in the left right patterning pathway. Based on this knowledge the genetic basis of human laterality defects are beginning to be revealed. It is a major challenge now to understand how all these genes control left right development as well as the complex set of interactions established between them.
Le dépistage du cancer du col de lutérus = Cervical cancer screening
Each year, cervical cancer kills approximately 1,000 people in France, making it the fifth leading cause of cancer death and the eighth most common cancer among women. While eradicating cervical cancer is not possible, a national screening campaign should significantly reduce its incidence. This campaign should be based, in particular, on the systematic use of Pap smears. Conventional Pap smears have already reduced the number of invasive cancers by more than 50%. Improving them requires optimizing their sensitivity. This book details the natural history of cervical cancer, its incidence and mortality, and the various aspects of screening: general principles, the French screening program, the different types of Pap smears, the role and contribution of the HPV test, the management of abnormal Pap smears, the role of colposcopy, and the follow-up of treated women. It is intended for all those involved in this screening : specialist interns and gynecologists, pathologists and biologists, public health physicians, but also general practitioners whose role in screening is privileged since they are at the forefront of medical demand.
Late Effects of Cancer Treatment on Normal Tissues
Based on the LENT V NCI-sponsored meeting held in May 2004 and the CURED I conference held in 2006. It addresses a number of critical topics relating to late effects, such as mechanisms of injury, the role of screening, options for interventions, second malignancies, and prevention.
Lapproccio e la gestione per processi in pneumologia = The process-based approach and management in pulmonology
The topics covered are highly relevant to the application of the methods and tools outlined in quality improvement programs. This is in an effort to enhance the specific skills of the pulmonologist, thus making him an effective and independent liaison with the relevant strategic management. With great sensitivity, the SIMeR (Italian Society of Respiratory Medicine) has chosen to sponsor this edition, the only one to date in the field of Pulmonology, whose contents are based on the proposals and work of the leaders of one of its most recently established Study Groups, the "Continuous Quality Improvement in Pulmonology" Study Group.
