Download or read book Complementary Therapies for the Contemporary Healthcare written by Marcelo Saad and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-10-17 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complementary therapies (CTs) are practices, products or systems for health that are outside the domain of conventional medicine (also called Western or allopathic medicine), used either to treat illnesses or to promote health and well-being. Defining CTs is difficult, because the field is very broad and constantly changing. The list of what is considered CT changes continually, and therapies whose safety and effectiveness are demonstrated may become part of conventional medicine. We hope the information from the present book can collaborate in some manner with the ongoing process of evolution of the paradigms related to concepts of health, disease and healing.

Download or read book Quelles sont les pratiques professionnelles habituelles des m decins g n ralistes dans la prise en charge des bronchiolites aig es du nourrisson de moins de deux ans en ambulatoire dans la Sarthe written by Marie Robert and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La dernière Conférence de Consensus sur la bronchiolite aiguë du nourrisson, réalisée par la HAS en 2000, préconisait comme traitement la prescription d'une désobstruction rhino-pharyngée associée à des mesures hygiéno-diététiques et à de la kinésithérapie respiratoire. Notre étude avait pour objectif de dresser un état des lieux de cette prise en charge thérapeutique auprès des médecins généralistes de la Sarthe quinze ans après ces recommandations. Les autres objectifs étaient d'évaluer la connaissance des critères diagnostiques et d'hospitalisation par les médecins généralistes, et de comprendre les raisons d'éventuelles discordances. Il s'agissait donc d'une étude observationnelle descriptive pour l'objectif principal, avec des variables qualitatives pour les objectifs secondaires. L'étude était réalisée à partir d'un questionnaire adressé par téléphone ou internet aux médecins généralistes de la Sarthe. Parmi les médecins généralistes de la Sarthe, 14,39% ont répondu à notre étude. Nos résultats ont retrouvé 35,71% des prescriptions en accord avec les recommandations. 53,57% des médecins interrogés prescrivaient un traitement médicamenteux autre que celui figurant dans les recommandations, La kinésithérapie respiratoire, bien que controversée, était prescrite dans 64,29% des cas. Par ailleurs, les médecins connaissaient en moyenne 3,48 critères diagnostics et 2,96 critères d'hospitalisation. Ces résultats sont à mettre en perspective avec le fait qu'il semble y avoir un lien entre le nombre de critères d'hospitalisation rapportés et la connaissance du diagnostic. Enfin, les principales difficultés dans la prise en charge de la bronchiolite rapportées par les médecins interrogés étaient l'examen clinique difficile de l'enfant, la pression des parents pour un traitement rapide et efficace, ainsi que le manque d'option thérapeutique pour cette pathologie. En conclusion, on peut dire que, par rapport aux recommandations sur le traitement de la bronchiolite, le taux de prise en charge concordante reste assez faible, mais que les habitudes de prescription des médecins généralistes s'améliorent.
