Many ophthalmologists are in the transition from the traditional cataract surgery technique to the new minimally incision cataract surgery (MICS) technique. They are in the need of updated information on how to make this transition smoothly. In this book, world-renowned opinion leaders present up-to-date information on the new and fast-developing trends in cataract surgery. It reflects the state of the art of microincisional cataract surgery with the concept of minimizing incision. It offers all necessary information on the new technology as well as on the surgical technique. Further, it demonstrates how to handle difficult cataract cases as well as new intraocular lenses.

An Introduction to Epidemiology for Health Professionals Jorn Olsen, Kaare Christensen, Jeff Murray, and Anders Ekbom Who gets sick? What factors—genetic, environmental, social—contribute to their illness? Easy enough to ask, but the answers are becoming increasingly complicated. Today, as the public worries about emerging diseases and the word epidemic is part of the general discussion, epidemiology should be a basic component of medical training, yet often it is undertaught or even neglected. Concise and readable while also rigorous and thorough, An Introduction to Epidemiology for Health Professionals goes beyond standard textbook content to ground the reader in scientific methods most relevant to the current health landscape and the evolution of evidence-based medicine—valuable keys to better understanding of disease process, effective prevention, and targeted treatment. This volume: Presents material accessibly for readers who may have not studied epidemiology. Focuses equally in descriptive and analytic branches of epidemiology. Demonstrates applications of descriptive and analytic methods in public health, genetic epidemiology, and clinical epidemiology. Includes a "Sources of Error" section addressing problems in inference and decision-making, selection bias, and other common pitfalls. In addition to its usefulness for graduate students in public health and medical students in clinical epidemiology, An Introduction to Epidemiology for Health Professionals is a timely reference for practitioners needing a refresher in this important discipline.

Issus des méthodes militaires visant le retour au combat, les débriefings, qui incitent au récit précoce de l'expérience à caractère traumatique, favorisent-ils vraiment son élaboration ? Si j'étais moi-même concerné, souhaiterais-je rencontrer sur le champ un « psy » ? Comment réagirais-je s'il me disait que, pour mon bien, je dois lui conter en détails ce que je viens de vivre ? Par exemple, l'accident au cours duquel mon enfant est mort sous mes yeux ou celui où j'ai tué accidentellement un piéton…Cet ouvrage montre qu'inciter à parler d'une expérience traumatique est souvent une erreur. Certes, si une personne souhaite s'exprimer, une écoute est nécessaire. Mais le plus important, au début, est d'offrir un environnement protecteur et bienveillant. Or les débriefeurs répondent aux pressions de certains pouvoirs politico-militaires et sociaux : si un soldat traumatisé constitue une perte pour son commandement, de manière analogue un convoyeur de fonds ébranlé, par exemple, correspond à un manque à gagner pour son employeur. D'où l'intérêt récent de certains DRH pour leurs employés traumatisés. Un débriefing et ça repart…Ce livre ne s'adresse pas qu'aux sauveteurs et aux « psys » : chacun de nous peut avoir à accueillir, un jour, quelqu'un qui vient de vivre un événement « traumatisant ».

The advancement of science is ever more contingent upon the interaction of experts vast amount of scientific information being gathered every day that exceeds the ability of any one scientist to acquire. As an illustration of the frantic pace of scientific disc- more acute in the case of scientific fields at the interface of different and seemingly distant areas of study. Amidst these, the field of cell encapsulation brings together an array of diverse disciplines such as molecular biology and biopolymers, gene therapy and inorganic membranes, stem cell biology and physicochemistry, immunology and nanotechnology. Clearly, such range of topics is too broad for any individual scientist the state-of-the-art in the field of cell encapsulation. At the core of this technology, there is an interaction of physicochemical and biological elements forming three distinct layers of complexity. First, the chemistry of the biopolymer dictates the degree of protein adsorption, vascularization, tox- ity and biocompatibility of the microcapsules. Advances in biopolymer science are providing solutions to overcome existing challenges and to improve microcapsules as delivery vehicles. Second, the choice of cells, and more precisely the plethora of in determining the immune response elicited by the host to implanted microcapsules.
