This volume provides an “on-the-go” guide to the most common behavioral emergencies a physician may encounter. Each chapter represents a disease state or symptom cluster and concisely summarizes the disease state, provides background, symptoms and signs, differential diagnoses, and immediate and long-term treatment options. All chapters conclude with a diagnosis or treatment algorithm or another easy-to-use visual tool. Chapters named after a specific disease state or symptom cluster, arranged alphabetically for use in the field. The text begins with chapters covering patient evaluation: getting a good history, suicide risk assessment, physical exam, and when and how to use studies. Written by experts in psychiatry and emergency medicine, this text is the first to consider both medical perspectives in a concise guide. Quick Guide to Psychiatric Emergencies is an excellent resource for psychiatrists, emergency medicine physicians, residents, nurses, and other medical professionals that handle behavioral emergencies on a regular basis.
Un témoignage unique et de première main sur la Chine de 1963 à 2008. De la Chine de Mao Zedong qui sembla un moment s’ouvrir au monde pour se refermer très vite avec les soubresauts de la révolution culturelle ; de la Chine rouge jusqu’à la Chine de Deng Xiaoping, ouverte et multicolore, débordante de mille initiatives, témoin d’exception, Pierre-Jean Rémy a vu, observé et analysé. Journal d’un homme d’action, d’un observateur impartial mais aussi d’un romancier et d’un poète, ce livre raconte la Chine de tous les jours, mais aussi celle d’hommes et de femmes attachés à la voir devenir l’une des grandes puissances du monde, un pôle dans l’univers des idées et des arts, une Chine d’un modernisme effréné mais aussi une Chine millénaire, la Chine de toujours. Longtemps diplomate à Pékin, Pierre-Jean Rémy, membre de l’Académie française, a déjà publié plusieurs livres sur la Chine, dont Le Sac du palais d’été, prix Renaudot en 1971, Chine, un itinéraire en 1978, Chine en 1990, Chambre noire à Pékin en 2004.
"Containing the public messages, speeches, and statements of the President", 1956-1992.
The public increase of interest in the past has not necessarily brought with it a greater understanding about how archives are formed. To this end, Richard Cox takes a serious look at archival repositories and collections. Cox suggests that archives do not just happen, but are consciously shaped (and sometimes distorted) by archivists, the creators of records, and other individuals and institutions. In this series of essays, Cox offers archivists rare insight into the fundamentals of appraisal, and historians and other users of archives the opportunity to appreciate the collections they all too often take for granted.
This fully updated second edition focuses on mental illness, both globally and in terms of specific mental-health-related visits encountered in emergency department settings, and provides practical input from physicians experienced with adult emergency psychiatric patients. It covers the pre-hospital setting and advising on evidence-based practice; from collaborating with psychiatric colleagues to establishing a psychiatric service in your emergency department. Potential dilemmas when treating pregnant, geriatric or homeless patients with mental illness are discussed in detail, along with the more challenging behavioral diagnoses such as substance abuse, factitious and personality disorders, delirium, dementia, and PTSD. The new edition of Behavioral Emergencies for Healthcare Providers will be an invaluable resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric and emergency department nurses, trainee and experienced emergency physicians, and other mental health workers.
