Sujet chaud, s'il-en est, c'est de laïcité dont il est question à la une du numéro du printemps de L'Inconvénient. En ouverture, Alain Roy met la table en distinguant d'abord laïcité et sécularisation, ou du moins effet sécularisant. Daniel D. Jacques fait une incursion au « royaume de la confusion », Yolande Geadah et Jacques Beauchemin s'entretiennent avec Georges Leroux, Guillaume Lamy discute de controverses identitaires, Joseph Rosen raconte sa vie entourée de voisins hassidim et Ugo Gilbert Tremblay offre ses considérations sur la laïcité, le droit et les moeurs. Ce numéro comprend aussi un photoreportage sur l'art de la boxe, le retour au réalisme où « une collectivité est abordée selon ses dynamiques d'intérêts et de pouvoir » dans des séries télé comme The Night of et Big Little Lies ainsi qu'un entretien avec David Dorais sur l'état de la critique littéraire au Québec.
Musculoskeletal Examination is a user-friendly textbook on the techniques of physical examination. Written by a physiatrist, orthopedic surgeon, and physical therapist, it has a uniquely multidisciplinary approach. Musculoskeletal Examination covers the complete basic examination and basic principles of normal and abnormal musculoskeletal function are fully explained, leading you to the correct differential diagnosis.
The new fourth edition is now in full colour throughout and includes over 750 detailed illustrations, X-rays and MRIs, and more than 100 photographs showing examination techniques. It also includes a companion website at www.wiley.com/go/musculoskeletalexam featuring 107 MCQs and links to videos demonstrating key examination methods.
Musculoskeletal Examination is perfect as a quick reference guide, while the detailed descriptions and clinically relevant examples of frequently encountered conditions will help even the most novice practitioner gain the understanding necessary to make a correct diagnosis and determine a successful treatment plan. It is ideal for physical therapists, physiatrists, orthopedists, medical students, practitioners, and all those involved in sports medicine and clinical massage.
This book presents a multidisciplinary evidence-based approach to the management of teeth with lesions of endodontic-periodontal origin. The book opens by addressing the etiology and classification of endodontic-periodontal lesions, and demonstrates its relevance to the daily practice. Specific endodontic, prosthetic, and periodontal considerations that should be incorporated into clinical decision making and treatment planning are then discussed in detail. Subsequent chapters describe modern clinical procedures in periodontal regenerative treatment, describe vertical root fractures as an endodontic-periodontal lesion, examine treatment alternatives following the extraction of teeth with endodontic-periodontal lesions, and discuss possible biological complications in implant supported oral rehabilitation. Finally, a summary chapter considers the integration of clinical factors and patient values into clinical decision making. The text is accompanied by many figures presenting informative clinical examples. The authors are internationally renowned scientists and clinicians from the specialties of Endodontology, Periodontology, and Oral Rehabilitation. Owing to its multidisciplinary and comprehensive nature, the book will be relevant and interesting to the entire dental community.
This book provides an overview of the science and technology that helps us understand the trajectory, i.e., genomics, epidemiology, and health care of the COVID-19 pandemic, its virus, and pathogenicity. Topics that are covered include how the virus is impacting our health care system and the economy. Simulation modeling used to predict the spread of the virus and risk of infection in America and globally is included, as well as the critical role of communication in pandemic response.
An important focus is synthetic biology, notably employed in the development and production of effective diagnostics that can be rapidly deployed and development of vaccines in unlimited quantity. US and global production of vaccine is discussed. Most importantly, treatment of patients infected with the virus that includes telemedicine and virtual reality for remote intensive care settings is a significant aspect of the discussion. Biotechnology plays a major role in responding to the COVID-19pandemic and advances utilized in the engineering sciences are introduced.
