Thomas Dure est un type ordinaire qui fait face à des problèmes ordinaires. Il vient juste de divorcer et, malgré le soutien de Fred Sanford, son avocat et ami, il accuse le coup. Quelques jours plus tard, il se réveille avec un doigt engourdi. La semaine suivante, la paralysie s'étend aux mains, puis aux bras. Petit-à-petit, ses membres sont pétrifiés. L'avis des médecins est sans appel... Que feriez-vous si vous découvriez, un beau matin, que vous vous transformez en pierre? Que décideriez-vous de faire de votre vie en apprenant le processus qui vous entraîne inéluctablement vers la mort, dans des circonstances extraordinaires? Charlie Adlard illustre dans un style épuré le récit de cet homme condamné par une maladie inconnue et incurable. Du drame personnel à la fable sociale, Joe Casey évoque, tout en sensibilité, le parcours d'une vie…

This book is the result of studies on cerebral palsy (CP) in children that the authors and their collaborators (medical doctors and therapists) have carried out in recent years. It addresses the main topics associated with the evaluation of adaptive functions in the spastic forms of CP (definition and modifications over the most recent decades, newly classified orientations, etiopathogenesis, anatomic–functional correlations, semiotics, and the so-called associated disorders: visual, cognitive, and behavioral). The main goal of this book is to offer readily accessible information on the nature of the disease, the problems correlated with prognosis, and the rehabilitation. Because of its instructive nature and practical approach, the book will be an invaluable tool for practitioners already working in this field (medical doctors, child neuropsychiatrists and physiatrists, and rehabilitation therapists), for university students studying physical and occupational therapy, and for residents in rehabilitative medicine, child neurology, and orthopedics.

Even the most powerful men in the world are human-they get sick, take dubious drugs, drink too much, contemplate suicide, fret about ailing parents, and bury people they love. Young Richard Nixon watched two brothers die of tuberculosis, even while doctors monitored a suspicious shadow on his own lungs. John Kennedy received last rites four times as an adult, and Lyndon Johnson suffered a "belly buster" of a heart attack. David Blumenthal and James A. Morone explore how modern presidents have wrestled with their own mortality-and how they have taken this most human experience to heart as they faced the difficult politics of health care. Drawing on a trove of newly released White House tapes, on extensive interviews with White House staff, and on dramatic archival material that has only recently come to light, The Heart of Power explores the hidden ways in which presidents shape our destinies through their own experiences. Taking a close look at Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Herbert Walker Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, the book shows what history can teach us as we confront the health care challenges of the twenty-first century.
