Principles of Clinical Medicine for Space Flight
Advances over the past decades in space flight technology have allowed U.S., Russian, and other space programs to not only increase the frequency of manned space flights but also to increase the duration of these flights. As such, a large body of knowledge has been developed regarding the ways in which space flight affects the health of the personnel involved. Now, for the first time, this body of clinical knowledge on how to diagnose and treat conditions that either develop during a mission or because of a mission has been compiled by Drs. Michael R. Barratt and Sam L. Pool of the NASA/Johnson Space Center. This text is a must have for all those associated with aerospace medicine.

Pelvi-périnélogie = Pelvic floor
Offers a symptom-based approach because this is often the first link between patient and caregiver, but also because the language of complaints is perceived and understood by everyone, whether they are physicians, specialists, or not. Urologists, gynecologists, gastroenterologists, proctologists, surgeons, pediatricians, neurologists, rehabilitation physicians, pain specialists, general practitioners, midwives, physiotherapists, and specialized nurses will therefore find this book of interest. Each can read at their own pace and according to their own needs: those in a hurry can get straight to the point by reading the summary boxes introducing each article in the ten main sections; those with a deeper curiosity can delve into the sixty-six chapters with their thousands of references. It is also a book of authors and not the book of one author because perineology is plural and complex, because it requires not one but several expertises in fields as vast as physiology, functional pathology, disorders of pelvic statics, post-traumatic or iatrogenic phenomena, infectious or inflammatory diseases, pain, the perineal expression of neurological diseases, malformative pathology or even cancer.
Pelvic Floor Re-education : Principles and Practice
The second edition of Pelvic Floor Re-education provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, along with other aspects of the clinical assessment and management of pelvic floor disorders.

Orthopedic Traumatology : A Residents Guide
There has been very rapid development in computing in recent years and this is now a general trend in the field of orthopedics. Orthopedic trauma is no exception, as there is much enthusiasm surrounding the use of surgical navigation in musculoskeletal trauma. In light of these developments, the successful first edition of this book has been revised and updated. A lot of new information has been added to the original chapter on CAOS (computer-aided orthopedic surgery). Also, as the WHO has published new guidelines on osteoporosis management, together with the many conceptual changes in this area, adding a chapter on osteoporosis is both timely and appropriate. A chapter on hip fracture rehabilitation has also become necessary, not only because it echoes the teachings of the chapter on osteoporosis, but also because of the projected exponential increase in the occurrence of this fracture by the year 2050.

Orthopedic Rehabilitation, Assessment, and Enablement
Medical practitioners involved in the treatment of diseases, disorders, and injuries of the musculoskeletal system will appreciate the very - portant role of rehabilitation. There are 19 chapters, arranged in a logical sequence. The first ch- ter gives a holistic view of what the rehabilitation process should include and emphasises that the unique feature of a rehabilitation service is thinking about a patient and his problems, not simply doing something to the patient, and the focus should be on trying to help each patient achieve his own goals. Chapters 2 to 8 are about the rehabilitation tools for assessing, inv- tigating and treating patients. Chapters 9 to 17 are about rehabilitation for specific types of musculoskeletal disorders, each of which has its own complex problems, requiring practitioners to gain further in-depth training and experience to give effective treatment.
