Abord clinique en urologie

25253S.bmp (41526 octets)


ISBN : 2287252533
200 pages
Price : 21,30 €

Séduits par l’idée de commenter l’expérience clinique qu’ils ont acquise au cours de leur carrière, les auteurs ont délibérément abordé leur spécialité par la description des symptômes qui donnent leurs titres aux chapitres. Ils ont néanmoins décrit les diagnostics différentiels, les maladies en cause et les traitements. Après un chapitre consacré à l’examen du patient, incluant les détours de l’interrogatoire, les douleurs lombaires ou scrotales sont analysées. Les auteurs ont ensuite abordé les troubles mictionnels et leurs causes. Les particularités des hématuries, selon leur niveau d’origine, sont décrites et commentées. La sémiologie des masses tumorales est soigneusement détaillée et, à l’inverse, le problème du dépistage du cancer de la prostate par le PSA est traité dans un chapitre à part. La dysérection et les maladies de la verge sont les derniers chapitres. Dans la ligne de la collection « Abord clinique », ce manuel est simple à consulter grâce à un index détaillé, facile à comprendre car écrit dans un langage clair et, de plus, bien illustré (21 schémas et 2 tableaux). Dans ce petit livre, les auteurs ont abordé l’urologie sous un angle proche de ce que ressentent les patients.

Les chapitres suivants insistent sur les techniques chirurgicales mises en oeuvre lors des pathologies les plus répandues, telles l'adénome et le cancer de la prostate. En dernier lieu sont décrits les principaux actes chirurgicaux liés aux séquelles post-opératoires (incontinence, fistules rectales ou dysfonction érectile). Décrivant les techniques les plus récentes et les fondamentaux des voies classiques par une riche illustration de plus de 170 photographies et dessins, cet ouvrage de référence s'adresse aux urologues.

Oxford Handbook of Nephrology and Hypertension

ISBN : 0198520697
674 pages, 64 black and white line illustrations and 13 black and white photographs
Price : 41,85 €

Acute renal failure is present in up to 5% of all hospital admissions and continues to carry considerable morbidity and mortality. The problem of chronically impaired kidney function is relevant to all medical practitioners regardless of their specialist interest. In addition, regular contact with patients who are dialysis-dependent or have undergone renal transplantation is now the norm, not the exception.
Based on the Oxford Textbook of Clinical Nephrology and companion to the Oxford Handbook of Dialysis, the Oxford Handbook of Nephrology and Hypertension provides clear information and practical advice about the day-to-day management of patients with renal disease. The handbook includes practical information helpful to those working 'at the coal face', in addition to the more detailed knowledge that enables effective ongoing patient care.
In line with contemporary nephrological practice, a significant portion of the handbook deals with the problem of hypertension, a major cardiovascular risk factor and the commonest indication for prescription drug therapy. Clinical importance is measured in space, so diabetic nephropathy is given more attention than, for example, Anderson-Fabry disease. The section on renal replacement therapy gives an overview of the essential elements of both dialysis and transplantation.
The handbook is laid out in twelve chapters that allow easy access to information on a particular clinical subject. To help ensure relevance and accuracy, each of these chapters has been prepared with the assistance of an acknowledged expert in the field.

Aimed at all pediatric urology and pediatric surgery trainees and consultants across the board, it will also be of great benefit to the adult surgeons who occasionally deal with children.
