Book Description
L'oncologie digestive prend en charge les patients atteints de néoplasies du tube digestif et des glandes annexes tels que les cancers de l'oesophage, l'estomac, l'intestin grêle, le côlon, le rectum, l'anus, le foie, les voies biliaires, le pancréas et le péritoine. Les cancers digestifs désignent les tumeurs malignes atteignant ces organes. Chaque cancer est unique et se définit notamment en fonction de sa localisation dans le tube digestif, de la profondeur de l'atteinte pariétale, de l'atteinte ou non des ganglions et de la présence ou non de métastases au niveau d'autres organes. La plupart des tumeurs digestives nécessitent des soins pluridisciplinaires faisant intervenir gastroentérologues, chirurgiens digestifs, radiologues, anatomopathologistes, oncologues et radiothérapeutes. La prise en charge nutritionnelle de ces patients est également très importante.

Book Description
L'examen clinique est essentiel à l'identification d'une maladie et l'évaluation de son pronostic. Cet ouvrage de référence dans le monde médical anglo-saxon explique avec détail comment évaluer les symptômes d'un patient et établir un diagnostic au travers de l'anamnèse et de l'examen physique. Son objectif est d'aider l'étudiant à développer les compétences cliniques nécessaires à l'obtention d'une anamnèse claire et les compétences pratiques indispensables à la détection et l'interprétation des signes cliniques des maladies. Le livre est composé de quatre grandes parties: Anamnèse et examen physique: elle aborde les principes généraux d'une bonne interaction avec le patient, depuis les bases du recueil de l'anamnèse et de la réalisation d'un examen physique à l'utilisation de tableaux cliniques permettant des diagnostics. Sémiologie par appareil: cette partie traite des symptômes et des signes selon une approche par système. Situations spécifiques: elle illustre l'application de ces compétences à des situations cliniques particulières. Mise en pratique: cette partie s'intéresse à l'application de ces compétences à la pratique quotidienne et propose des conseils pour s'y préparer efficacement. Il est également proposé dans chaque chapitre des exemples d'Examen Clinique Objectif Structuré correspondant à une méthode d'évaluation des étudiants très prisée dans les pays anglo-saxons. Ils consistent en une mise en situation pratique face à un mannequin ou un comédien jouant un scénario clinique court. Ce livre aborde également les différentes étapes de chaque examen qui sont présentées de manière détaillée, étayées de nombreux encadrés et illustrations. Il est particulièrement adapté aux étudiants en DFGSM2-DFGSM3 dans le cadre de l'enseignement thématique « Sémiologie générale » et les enseignements intégrés par système (sémiologie clinique) mais également aux étudiants en pharmacie. Il intéressera également les étudiants en DFASM préparant les ECNi mais aussi les enseignants et praticiens désireux de mettre à jour leurs connaissances.

Book Description
Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of death among all gynecological neoplasms. Ovarian epithelial cancer represents approximately 90% of all ovarian malignant tumours. The most usual pattern of spread and probably the earliest kind of metastasis of ovarian cancer is intraperitoneal spread, caused by apoptosis of viable cancer cells, even in cases where the ovarian surface has no visible rupture. Approximately 70% to 75% of all ovarian cancers are being diagnosed with peritoneal carcinomatosis and ascites in advanced stages III and IV. Peritoneal carcinomatosis from ovarian cancer may occur either concomitantly with the primary tumour or as a recurrence pattern of spread. Standard treatment consists of surgical debulking and postoperative systemic chemotherapy. Response rates to first-line chemotherapy with platinum/taxane combinations are high, about 70-80%, but the vast majority of patients will relapse. Peritoneal seeding is a major cause of surgical treatment failure among those patients, even after optimal debulking. However, progressing ovarian cancer tends to remain within the peritoneal cavity or, better-expressed, ovarian cancer is a cancer of the peritoneum. The administration of cytotoxic agents directly into the peritoneal cavity as treatment for malignancy was initially evaluated more than 40 years ago. Over the past two decades regional therapy of ovarian cancer has evolved from just an interesting pharmacokinetic concept into a viable management option for women with advanced disease. Several authors, and among them some of the world's leading experts on this field present the current knowledge and their experience on peritoneal carcinomatosis from ovarian cancer.

Book Description
The answers for perfect teeth, unblemished skin, and pristine hair are in this book. Dr. Price was 75 years ahead of his time. In this book, he demonstrates that isolated groups of people living in accordance with Nature have the best overall physical and mental health. Diseases inflicting “modern” humans are unheard of in most of these study groups. Dr. Weston Andrew Price, DDS, was called the “Isaac Newton of Nutrition” and the “Darwin of Nutrition.” This edition of Dr. Price’s classic is modernized with the epub format. It is easier to read on smartphones and tablets. It also includes updated statistics and additional images. Dr. Price shows that illness, disease, behavior, criminality, anemia, voice, and even cheek-line, are all within the domain of Nutrition. “If civilized man is to survive, he must incorporate the fundamentals of primitive nutritional wisdom into his modern lifestyle.” —Dr. Weston A. Price, DDS

Book Description
Iodine is a naturally occurring element and inorganic iodines found in the ocean accumulate in fish, shellfish and seaweed. Industrially iodine is used in many applications including the manufacture of inks, dyes, photographic agents and in water-purification. In the health-care industry, iodine is widely used as a disinfectant/biocide and in the production of soaps, bandages, and medicines. Iodine is also included as a salt in some countries to provide dietary supplementation. This Concise International Chemical Assessment Document (CICAD) evaluates the scientific literature on the health aspects of iodine and inorganic iodides. Its focus is on the health effects from environmental exposures beyond those associated with the diet and nutritional supplementation. Radioactive iodine isotopes are regarded as outside the scope of the document.
