Les auteurs proposent un regard rétrospectif sur une période fondatrice d'une réforme de l'expertise liée aux crises sanitaires des années 1990 ; ils apportent une lecture sociologique des modifications qu'a subies l'expertise scientifique avec la crise de la « vache folle ». La place occupée par la dynamique scientifique du domaine des prions dans les relations entre science et décision publique invite en effet à voir dans la « vache folle » une puissante machine à questionner les modalités et le sens d'une trans- formation profonde et durable des façons de gouverner les risques sanitaires. C'est tout particulièrement la structuration inédite d'une référence à la précaution, à travers la constitution d'une conscience réflexive des experts vis-à-vis de la fonction politique de leur travail, qui est ici explorée. Un livre éclairant au moment où les grippes à répétitions tendent à construire un état de surveillance généralisée, certes fondé en droit sur des décisions souveraines, mais largement constitué par une expertise scientifique qui traite non seulement des souches virales et des vaccins mais qui anticipe aussi les voies et modalités d'une gestion politique des risques. Fondé sur l'étude sociologique des pratiques des chercheurs-experts à partir des récits et des traces de leurs activités collectives, cet ouvrage apporte une contribution originale qui intéressera autant les chercheurs en sciences sociales que les décideurs.

The pioneering text by internationally renowned Bobath instructor and therapist Bente Gjelsvik is now in a revised and expanded second edition. The Bobath Concept in Adult Neurology, Second Edition, is updated with the latest theoretical insights, research literature, and clinical guidelines to provide an evidence-based, practice-oriented guide to the assessment and treatment of patients with lesions of the central nervous system. Bridging the gap between theoretical assumptions and everyday therapy practice, the book offers an understanding of the interaction between the central nervous system, the musculoskeletal system, movement, and function, and helps readers apply their knowledge to form hypotheses through clinical reasoning in the rehabilitation of adults with neurological conditions. Highlights: Completely revised case histories chapter with entirely new patient cases Key coverage of recent clinical trials and research studies Restructured and reorganized chapters for a more logical presentation of content Concise descriptions of the central nervous system and the neuro-musculo-skeletal systems, motor control, and neural and muscular plasticity Useful discussion of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health as a basis for assessment More than 200 lucid photographs and illustrations aid in quick grasp of the material. The new edition of this seminal volume contains the theoretical information, clinical details, and practical examples of the Bobath Concept for the management of neurological disability. It is a must-read for physical therapists and occupational therapists at all levels who seek the best assessment and treatment outcomes for neurologically impaired individuals.

Though the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) tumors has been challenging, new advances have helped us better understand the molecular and genetic makeup of many tumor types, and new chemotherapies and immunotherapies have extended survival in patients with aggressive primary CNS tumors. This book discusses pediatric and adult tumors of the CNS, the classification schemes used to categorize them, advances in surgical techniques, and several important genetic alterations found in these tumors. We hope this book contributes to the reader's understanding of these tumors and provides the most up-to-date and cutting-edge discoveries in this exciting field.
