Abstract

Après avoir spécifié ce que l’on définit comme une mort subite, on abordera très rapidement l’aspect théorique à travers la littérature. Viendra ensuite la présentation et la synthèse de 8 études épidémiologiques traitant du sujet au travers d’examens post-mortem. Celles-ci mettent en évidence la complexité à définir avec précision un diagnostic clinique. Cependant on retrouve majoritairement trois pathologies à l’origine de mort subite : l’hémorragie pulmonaire, la rupture vasculaire et la défaillance cardiaque. Nous nous attarderons sur leur étiologie ainsi que sur leur diagnostic in vivo et post-mortem

Abstract

Après une présentation globale de la gingivo-stomatite féline, une description de l’aspect clinique et lésionnel de la pathologie a été effectuée afin de mieux comprendre la pathologie et ses signes cliniques. Les traitements actuels et futurs sont pressentis et discutés. La complexité de la maladie en fait une thérapie multimodale qui doit être prise en compte aussi bien par le vétérinaire que par le propriétaire.

Abstract

Le virus de l’immunodéficience féline est un virus dont la répartition est mondiale. Ce virus est extrêmement proche du virus de l’immunodéficience humaine sur le plan génétique et par son mécanisme d’action. Il reste à ce jour un excellent modèle d’étude pour la communauté scientifique en vue de développer des traitements plus efficaces dans les années futures pour le chat et pour l’homme. 
Dans ce travail, l’aspect épidémiologique de ce virus sera analysé en Belgique au moyen d’une étude réalisée dans la commune de Huy sur 101 chats en comparaison avec d’autres études de terrain réalisées précédemment en Belgique. Par la suite, les différents facteurs de risque pour un chat de contracter la maladie seront mis en évidence. Ensuite, en s’appuyant sur la littérature scientifique, le génome du FIV sera étudié dans le but de comprendre son mécanisme d’action. On s’intéressera également aux différents moyens de prévention qu’un praticien peut mettre en œuvre pour éviter la contamination du chat et la propagation du virus. Enfin, les principaux traitements actuellement disponibles sur le marché seront cités.

Abstract

Outside back cover : "This highly anticipated update of the acclaimed textbook draws on the latest research to give students the knowledge and tools to explore the mechanisms by which bacterial pathogens cause infections in humans and animals. Written in an approachable and engaging style, the book uses illustrative examples and thought-provoking exercises to inspire students with the potential excitement and fun of scientific discovery. Completely revised and updated, and for the first time in stunning full-color, Bacterial Pathogenesis: A Molecular Approach, Fourth Edition, builds on the core principles and foundations of its predecessors while expanding into new concepts, key findings, and cutting-edge research, including new developments in the areas of the microbiome and CRISPR as well as the growing challenges of antimicrobial resistance. All-new detailed illustrations help students clearly understand important concepts and mechanisms of the complex interplay between bacterial pathogens and their hosts. Study questions at the end of each chapter challenge students to delve more deeply into the topics covered, and hone their skills in reading, interpreting, and analyzing data, as well as devising their own experiments. A detailed glossary defines and expands on key terms highlighted throughout the book. Written for advanced undergraduate, graduate, and professional students in microbiology, bacteriology, and pathogenesis, this text is a must-have for anyone looking for a greater understanding of virulence mechanisms across the breadth of bacterial pathogens."

Abstract

Outside back cover : "Despite the increased public awareness of traumatic brain injury (TBI), the complexities of the neuropsychiatric, neuropsychological, neurological, and other physical consequences of TBI of all severities across the lifespan remain incompletely understood by patients, their families, healthcare providers, and the media. Keeping pace with advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and science of TBI, the Textbook of Traumatic Brain Injury, Third Edition, comprehensively fills this gap in knowledge. Nearly all 50 chapters feature new authors, all of them experts in their field. Chapters new to this edition include biomechanical forces, biomarkers, neurodegenerative dementias, suicide, endocrine disorders, chronic disease management, and social cognition. An entirely new section is devoted to the evaluation and treatment of mild TBI, including injuries in athletes, military service members and veterans, and children and adolescents. These chapters join newly updated sections on the assessment and treatment of the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and other physical sequelae of TBI. The Textbook of Traumatic Brain Injury is a must-read for all of those working in any of the multitude of disciplines that contribute to the care and rehabilitation of persons with brain injury. This new volume is also a potentially useful reference for policymakers in both the public and private sectors."

Abstract

Modern Western culture is saturated with images, imprinting visual standards of concepts such as beauty and femininity onto our collective consciousness. Blindness Through the Looking Glass examines how gender and femininity are performed and experienced in everyday life by women who do not rely on sight as their dominant mode of perception, identifying the multiple senses involved in the formation of gender identity within social interactions. Challenging visuality as the dominant mode to understand gender, social performance, and visual culture, the book offers an ethnographic investigation of blindness (and sight) as a human condition, putting both blindness and vision "on display," discussing people's auditory, tactile, and olfactory experiences, as well as vision and sight, and exploring ways individuals perform blindness and "sightedness" in their everyday lives. Based on in-depth interviews with 40 blind women in Israel and anthropological fieldwork, the book investigates the social construction and daily experience of blindness in a range of domains. Uniquely, the book brings together blind symbolism with the everyday experiences of blind and sighted individuals, joining in mutual conversation the fields of disability studies, visual culture, anthropology of the senses, and gender studies.

Abstract

Over the past decades, infectious disease epidemics have come to increasingly pose major global health challenges to humanity. The Anthropology of Epidemics approaches epidemics as total social phenomena: processes and events which encompass and exercise a transformational impact on social life whilst at the same time functioning as catalysts of shifts and ruptures as regards human/non-human relations. Bearing a particular mark on subject areas and questions which have recently come to shape developments in anthropological thinking, the volume brings epidemics to the forefront of anthropological debate, as an exemplary arena for social scientific study and analysis.
