Quatrième de couverture : "Cet ouvrage traite de toute la pathologie pelvienne que l’IRM permet d’explorer de nos jours. C’est le premier livre qui couvre l’ensemble de cette pathologie qu’elle soit féminine ou masculine. Après un rappel anatomique, il aborde successivement les trois grands appareils qui peuvent être atteints dans cette région chez l’homme et/ou la femme : la pathologie digestive, la pathologie urinaire et génitale, et la pathologie gynécologique. L’exploration de la région pelvienne se prête bien à cette imagerie IRM qui, en complément de l’échographie endopelvienne, est devenue en quelques années la technique d'imagerie de référence, dans la mesure où elle répond aux contraintes de cette région anatomique. L’IRM fournit en effet de très bons contrastes tissulaires spontanés et évalue très bien l’anatomie complexe de cette région profonde qu’il est nécessaire d’explorer dans les trois dimensions de l’espace et/ou en mode dynamique. L’ouvrage s’attache aussi bien à traiter de la pathologie inflammatoire ou cancéreuse, que des atteintes fonctionnelles. Le Pr. Frank Boudghène a su faire appel pour sa rédaction aux meilleurs spécialistes français de l’IRM pelvienne : c’est pourquoi cet ouvrage constitue un guide précieux d’aide à la prise en charge des pathologies morphologiques et fonctionnelles du pelvis, à l’heure où le champ de la pelvi-périnéologie est en pleine évolution. S’il est destiné en premier lieu aux radiologues, il servira de document de travail à tous ceux qui sont concernés par la pathologie pelvienne et qui ont encore du mal à se familiariser avec l’IRM : cancérologues, chirurgiens viscéraux, gastro-entérologues, urologues, gynécologues, chirurgiens gynécologiques, sages-femmes, neurologues, kinésithérapeutes, médecins généralistes, et enfin à tous ceux qui seront amenés à demander un examen d’IRM chez les patients qu’ils prennent en charge."

The event-related potential (ERP) technique, in which neural responses to specific events are extracted from the EEG, provides a powerful noninvasive tool for exploring the human brain. This volume describes practical methods for ERP research along with the underlying theoretical rationale. It offers researchers and students an essential guide to designing, conducting, and analyzing ERP experiments. This second edition has been completely updated, with additional material, new chapters, and more accessible explanations. Freely available supplementary material, including several online-only chapters, offer expanded or advanced treatment of selected topics. The first half of the book presents essential background information, describing the origins of ERPs, the nature of ERP components, and the design of ERP experiments. The second half of the book offers a detailed treatment of the main steps involved in conducting ERP experiments, covering such topics as recording the EEG, filtering the EEG and ERP waveforms, and quantifying amplitudes and latencies. Throughout, the emphasis is on rigorous experimental design and relatively simple analyses. New material in the second edition includes entire chapters devoted to components, artifacts, measuring amplitudes and latencies, and statistical analysis; updated coverage of recording technologies; concrete examples of experimental design; and many more figures. Online chapters cover such topics as overlap, localization, writing and reviewing ERP papers, and setting up and running an ERP lab.

L'inscription du Bassin minier du Nord-Pas-de-Calais au patrimoine mondial de l'humanité en 2011 a fait de la mine un lieu de mémoire universel et des gueules noires les héros et martyrs d’un monde disparu. Pourtant, l’activité minière, quasiment révolue dans la Vieille Europe et les pays de la première industrialisation, est aujourd’hui en pleine expansion dans la plupart des pays émergents, au point de constituer l’une des activités économiques essentielles de la Chine, du Brésil, de l’Afrique australe et de l’Inde. Érigeant en mythe un monde ouvrier fier de ses valeurs de courage, de solidarité et de puissance virile, Zola a définitivement lié dans notre imaginaire la mine au danger et à la catastrophe. Mais le vieux Maheux de Germinal concède aussi : « Du charbon, j’en ai dans la carcasse de quoi me chauffer jusqu’à la fin de mes jours ». Loin du spectacle de la mort collective, en effet, le travail à la mine est générateur de maladie et d’agonie silencieuse : silicose, ankylostomiase, sidérose et cancers dessinent les contours d’une catastrophe de masse, bien plus meurtrière, vécue à l’échelle individuelle par ceux qui perdent leur vie à la gagner depuis deux siècles. C’est l’histoire, longtemps occultée, que ce livre raconte. Réunissant les contributions de chercheurs internationaux, dont certains pour la première fois en français, il offre une réflexion à la croisée de l’histoire du travail, de la santé, des mobilisations sociales et des politiques publiques. Voyage dans les maux de la mine de charbon, de cuivre ou d’uranium, de la France au Chili, du Japon à l’Afrique du Sud, de l’Allemagne à la Chine, de l’Ecosse à l’Espagne, de la Belgique aux États-Unis, ce livre apporte un regard historique neuf sur une question d’une sinistre actualité dans notre monde globalisé.

The Comatose Patient, Second Edition, is a critical historical overview of the concepts of consciousness and unconsciousness, covering all aspects of coma within 100 detailed case vignettes. This comprehensive text includes principles of neurologic examination of comatose patients as well as instruction of the FOUR Score coma scale, and also discusses landmark legal cases and ethical problems. As the Chair of Division of Critical Care Neurology at Mayo Clinic, Dr. Wijdicks uses his extensive knowledge to discuss a new practical multistep approach to the diagnosis of the comatose patient. Additionally, this edition includes extensive coverage of the interpretation of neuroimaging and its role in daily practice and decision making, as well as management in the emergency room and ICU. Dr. Wijdicks details long-term supportive care and an appropriate approach to communication with family members about end-of-life decision making.

This book provides an introduction to multistate event history analysis. It is an extension of survival analysis, in which a single terminal event (endpoint) is considered and the time-to-event is studied. Multistate models focus on life histories or trajectories, conceptualized as sequences of states and sequences of transitions between states. Life histories are modeled as realizations of continuous-time Markov processes. The model parameters, transition rates, are estimated from data on event counts and populations at risk, using the statistical theory of counting processes. The Comprehensive R Network Archive (CRAN) includes several packages for multistate modeling. This book is about Biograph. The package is designed to (a) enhance exploratory analysis of life histories and (b) make multistate modeling accessible. The package incorporates utilities that connect to several packages for multistate modeling, including survival, eha, Epi, mvna<, etm, mstate, msm, and TraMineR for sequence analysis. The book is a ‘hands-on’ presentation of Biograph and the packages listed. It is written from the perspective of the user. To help the user master the techniques and the software, a single data set is used to illustrate the methods and software. It is the subsample of the German Life History Survey, which was also used by Blossfeld and Rohwer in their popular textbook on event history modeling. Another data set, the Netherlands Family and Fertility Survey, is used to illustrate how Biograph can assist in answering questions on life paths of cohorts and individuals. The book is suitable as a textbook for graduate courses on event history analysis and introductory courses on competing risks and multistate models. It may also be used as a self-study book. The R code used in the book is available online. Frans Willekens is affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock, Germany. He is Emeritus Professor of Demography at the University of Groningen, a Honorary Fellow of the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI) in the Hague, and a Research Associate of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Laxenburg, Austria. He has contributed to the modeling and simulation of life histories, mainly in the context of population forecasting.
