Spinal Disorders : Fundamentals of Diagnosis and Treatment
Spinal disorders are among the most common medical conditions with significant impact on health related quality of life, use of health care resources and socio-economic costs. Spinal surgery is still one of the fastest growing areas in clinical medicine. The increasing age of the population will require an increased need for the treatment of degenerative spinal disorders particularly spinal stenosis. Basic knowledge on the state of the art in diagnosis and treatment of spinal disorders is required not only for spine specialists but also for general orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, chiropractors, physiotherapists, basic scientists and health care executives to choose and/or evaluate appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. "Spinal Disorders" is an easily readable teaching tool focusing on fundamentals and basic principles.

Pufendorf's international political and legal thought
Analyses Samuel Pufendorf's understanding of the international legal order and how it was shaped by his reflections on topics that are conventionally distinguished from international law in academic study, namely religious toleration and theology. The first and second sections examine the post-Westphalian system in the Holy Roman Empire and the importance of keeping the promises made between states. The third section takes up the theological dimension of Pufendorf's thinking in Jus feciale divinum (1695) and the covenant or federal theology it involves. Parallels are consequently drawn between Pufendorf's arguments on covenants with treaties in international law. The concluding section studies these aspects in further detail and shows the extent to which Pufendorf's conception of international law reflects the pattern of his theology

Pathologie hypophysaire et grossesse = Pituitary pathology and pregnancy
Pituitary diseases, tumor or non-tumor, are classically responsible for infertility. Thanks to the progress of medical and surgical treatments developed for the treatment of these pituitary diseases, pregnancies are more and more frequent in patients having in particular a secreting pituitary adenoma or an ante-pituitary insufficiency or a central diabetes insipidus. However, the consequences of pituitary disease and treatments for the mother or fetus are still discussed by endocrinologists, gynecologists, obstetricians and pediatricians. The aim of this unique work in French is an update of our knowledge on the subject, and more particularly on the hormonal and radiological diagnosis of a hypersecretion syndrome or a pituitary insufficiency during pregnancy, as well. as for the management of patients with tumor or non-tumor pituitary pathology, wishing or having pregnancy.
