Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La cavité buccale présente des rôles essentiels dans la vie de tout individu. Dans les services de gériatrie, les patients peuvent présenter différentes pathologies. La nécessité en soins bucco-dentaire est décrite comme importante, mais la demande est paradoxalement peu exprimée. La prise en charge gérodontologique de chacun des patients est réfléchie en terme de nécessité, de demande, mais également de capacité à consentir et à supporter les soins. Des protocoles simples et efficaces de prévention sont mis en place, notamment concernant l'alimentation et l'hygiène bucco-dento-prothétique. Les différentes thérapeutiques conservatrices, restauratrices ou extractrices peuvent être indiquées, en accord avec le patient, son entourage et l'équipe soignante. La notion d'un bénéfice toujours supérieur aux contraintes liées au soin est ainsi essentielle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longtemps sous-estimée, la santé bucco-dentaire des personnes âgées est devenue un problème de santé publique au cœur d'une réflexion d'amélioration des soins et de prise en charge adaptée à ces patients particuliers. L'odontologie gériatrique occupe un champ spécifique au sein de la médecine bucco-dentaire et, compte tenu de l'augmentation de la durée de vie, prend une place croissante dans l'activité quotidienne du chirurgien-dentiste. Afin d'aider le praticien, peu ou pas formé aux spécificités de ces patients, cet ouvrage donne toutes les clés pour réussir ses soins. Après un rappel de gériatrie générale, ce guide aborde les notions de vieillissement normal et pathologique ainsi que les aspects psychologiques. Sont détaillés ensuite les soins conservateurs, les prothèses spécifiques et l'accompagnement au long terme avec les mesures d'hygiène propres aux seniors et les liens avec les réseaux de soins (personnel de maisons de retraite, infirmières à domicile, etc.). Cet ouvrage pratique, illustré par plus de 150 figures et schémas en couleur, propose également des protocoles de soins qui guideront pas à pas le chirurgien-dentiste dans sa prise en charge.Le guide pratique des soins et de la thérapeutique en odontologie gériatrique. - La gériatrie, le vieillissement normal et pathologique, les aspects psychologiques. - Les soins conservateurs et les prothèses spécifiques. - L'accompagnement au long terme et les mesures d'hygiène propres aux seniors. - Les liens avec les réseaux de soins. - Plus de 150 figures et schémas en couleur. - Des protocoles de soins pour guider le chirurgien-dentiste pas à pas.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "L'acromégalie est une maladie orpheline qui survient généralement vers 40 ans. Elle touche aussi bien les hommes que les femmes et se caractérise par une croissance exagérée du visage et des extrémités lorsqu'elle se manifeste à l'âge adulte. Cette pathologie est le plus souvent liée à une anomalie de l'hypophyse. Les principales manifestations cliniques de la maladie sont des modifications morphologiques du visage et des extrémités du corps. À travers ce travail, nous traiterons de la prise en charge bucco-dentaire de ces patients qui est d'autant plus complexe que leur pathologie reste peu connue. Ainsi, l'importance du diagnostic de cette maladie est primordiale car la qualité de vie de ces patients sera directement impactée par le délai entre l'apparition de la maladie et son diagnostic. La qualité de vie des patients est directement impactée par la pathologie, elle entraine une déficience psychosociale, les patients peuvent être atteints par la dépression et des troubles du sommeil et auront une image corporelle dégradée d'eux-mêmes. Le diagnostic de l'acromégalie et son traitement sont des défis pour le C-D en raison du développement lent et insidieux de la maladie. Les patients ignorant habituellement leurs états de santé et l'avancement de l'acromégalie, le rôle du chirurgien-dentiste est d'autant plus important qu'il pourra remarquer les symptômes annonciateurs au niveau de la sphère orale ce qui permet un diagnostic plus précoce de la pathologie et évite ainsi l'apparition de nouvelles comorbidités. Ainsi, le patient gagnerait en qualité de vie et l'odontologiste occuperait une place majeure dans la prise en charge des patients acromégales."

Download or read book Oral Cephalosporins written by Robert C. Moellering and published by S Karger Ag. This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an excellent survey of the chemistry, microbiology, pharmacology and clinical use of the oral cephalosporins in general and the newer agents in particular. The cephalosporins have long provided satisfactory treatment for many disorders without causing serious side effects; and over the past fifty years forms with different antimicrobial, pharmacologic and toxicologic properties have been developed. Despite the broad spectrum of their activity against a large variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, the third-generation oral cephalosporins including the prodrug esters do not work against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, methicillin-resistant staphylococci, enterococci or Bacteroides species. Many, however, are suitable for treating infections of the respiratory and urinary tracts and of the skin and its structure, as well as certain sexually-transmitted diseases. Authors consider other possible uses, against multi-resistant Enterobacteriaceae for instance, but also point out the limitations of the oral cephalosporins. For those working in the fields of infectious disease, bacteriology, chemotherapy, pharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics, this book is a valuable source of authoritative information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines issues concerning how developing countries will have to prepare for demographic and epidemiologic change. Much of the current literature focuses on the prevalence of specific diseases and their economic consequences, but a need exists to consider the consequences of the epidemiological transition: the change in mortality patterns from infectious and parasitic diseases to chronic and degenerative ones. Among the topics covered are the association between the health of children and adults, the strong orientation of many international health organizations toward infant and child health, and how the public and private sectors will need to address and confront the large-scale shifts in disease and demographic characteristics of populations in developing countries.

Download or read book Infections Chronic Disease and the Epidemiological Transition written by Alex Mercer and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2014 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1949 the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Canadian Department of National Health and Welfare (DNHW) commissioned a film, eventually called Challenge. Science Against Cancer, as part of a major effort to recruit young scientists into cancer research. Both organizations feared that poor recruitment would stifle the development of the field at a time when funding for research was growing dramatically. The fear was that there would not be enough new young scientists to meet the demand, and that the shortfall would undermine cancer research and the hopes invested in it. Challenge aimed to persuade young scientists to think of cancer research as a career. This book is the story of that forgotten film and what it tells us about mid-twentieth century American and Canadian cancer research, educational filmmaking, and health education campaigns. It explores why Canadian and American health agencies turned to film to address the problem of scientist recruitment; how filmmakers turned such recruitment concerns into something they thought would work as a film; and how information officers at the NCI and DNHW sought to shape the impact of Challenge by embedding it in a broader educational and propaganda program. It is, in short, an account of the important, but hitherto undocumented, roles of filmmakers and information officers in the promotion of post-Second World War cancer research.
