Determining the cause of death in children and young adults can pose considerable challenges. Professor Byard provides for the first time a complete overview of pathological aspects of sudden death in the young, from before birth to middle adult life. Highly illustrated with more than 800 colour figures, this third edition contains new sections on sexual abuse, pregnancy-related deaths and rare natural diseases, as well as expanded coverage of unexpected death in young adults up to the age of 30 years. Chapters are organised by systems and cover all aspects of natural death, as well as accidents, suicides and homicides. Supported by extensive referencing and numerous tables, the book can also be used as a practical autopsy manual. An encyclopaedic overview and analysis of sudden death in the young, this is a key text for pediatric and forensic pathologists, pediatricians, and lawyers and physicians involved in medicolegal cases.

Les fabuleux progrès de la médecine contemporaine ont permis de tenir la mort éloignée dans le temps, avec une espérance de vie qui ne cesse d'augmenter, mais aussi dans l'espace. En effet, la mort est aujourd'hui une affaire de professionnels. Il revient aux médecins, paramédicaux, psychologues, exerçant au domicile du patient, dans un centre hospitalier universitaire ou encore en maison de retraite médicalisée, de prendre en charge la finitude des vivants. Mais alors que leur mission est de soigner, quels rapports les soignants entretiennent-ils avec la mort ? Comment assument-ils la part de violence de ces vies qui s'achèvent ? Comment le médecin généraliste, l'infirmière en gériatrie peuvent-ils se préparer au décès de leur patient ? Comment accepter ces morts inéluctables dans les services de soins palliatifs ? Face à la répétition des décès des personnes qu'ils tentaient de guérir ou dont ils prenaient soin, les soignants doivent créer les conditions pour ne pas souffrir des multiples deuils et, malgré tout, bien travailler. Ils ont à reconstruire le sens de leur activité selon les spécialités, les services ou encore la situation particulière du patient.
