Abstract

Présentation de l'éditeur : "On vous découvre une maladie, vous avez plus de chance de guérir si votre généraliste se montre optimiste ou empathique. C'est le fameux "effet placebo". Ce phénomène étrange de guérison sans médicament, qui opère lorsqu'un autre prend le temps de s'intéresser à notre personne. C'est la raison du succès des psychothérapies, de l'homéopathie et des autres médecines "alternatives". Mais d'où vient l'effet placebo ? Est-il propre à l'espèce humaine ? D'autres facteurs, dont on ose rarement parler, influencent fortement notre santé, tels que le niveau d'études, le rang dans la société, l'environnement alimentaire et social. Ainsi, le fait d'être entouré par sa famille, ses amis, ou d'avoir un animal de compagnie augmente considérablement l'espérance de vie. Pour la première fois, un livre révèle les interactions profondes entre santé et relations sociales. Des liens que la médecine feint d'ignorer, préférant le recours systématique au médicament qui s'attaque rarement à l'origine du problème. Mais quel docteur oserait prescrire "organisez une soirée avec vos voisins" ou "revendez votre téléviseur" ? Plus la médecine moderne s'éloigne des patients et oublie cette attention à l'autre pourtant à l'origine de la pratique médicale, plus elle perd son pouvoir de guérir"

Abstract

This book provides a perspective on the concepts placebo and placebo effects, which has been missing so far: a detailed analysis of the history of the terms, their current use, suggested alternatives and the implications of the conceptual confusion. Everybody knows something about placebos and placebo effects. If, however, people are asked to define the concepts, the spectrum becomes wide. Does 'placebo' refer to an inert treatment or does it cover all elements of the patient-physician-interaction except for pharmacological or other physiological mechanisms? Furthermore, if, by definition, a placebo has no effect, what sense does it make to talk about a 'placebo effect'? Even in scientific literature the concepts ‘placebo’ and ‘placebo effect’ are used in many senses and often in a confusing way. While this book discusses many issues which keep puzzling physicians, it also covers the historical developments of the concepts of placebo and placebo effect as well as the conceptual confusion in the definitions. This book is intended for physicians, philosophers, psychologists and any other people interested in placebos, placebo effects and the physician-patient relationship.

Abstract

A significantly expanded third edition, this book provides a comprehensive and concise overview of cardiac arrhythmias and their ECG/telemetry manifestations, including the principles of cardiac electrophysiology, current concepts of pharmacology, clinical features, diagnoses, and state-of-the-art treatments. Additionally, the book emphasizes decision-making strategies in approaching each individual patient and the application of technical innovations in specific clinical situations. Organized into eight parts, beginning chapters introduce the concepts and principles of cardiac electrophysiology, unique rhythms, and ECG waves/signs. These chapters are designed to integrate emerging knowledge in basic science and clinical medicine. Subsequent chapters focus on the diagnosis of a variety of cardiac arrhythmias using non-invasive methodology. Throughout the book, chapters continue to analyze pharmacological and other approaches to therapy of specific arrhythmias, including supraventricular tachycardias, atrial fibrillation and flutter, ventricular arrhythmias, and bradyarrhythmias. Finally, the book closes with coverage on inherited cardiac arrhythmia syndromes including the long, short QT, and J-wave syndromes, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. The third edition of Management of Cardiac Arrhythmias, is an essential resource for physicians, residents, fellows, and medical students in cardiology, cardiac surgery, vascular surgery, cardiac electrophysiology, and cardiac radiology.
