voix d'auteur·ices racisé·es pour faire entendre différents récits dans une perspective intersectionnelle. Ce recueil est l'occasion de réfléchir aux différentes formes que peut prendre le féminisme autour de trois figures - la colérique, la mauvaise, la redoutable - des stéréotypes, négatifs et positifs, auxquels les personnes racisées sont souvent associées.

Par Giuseppe Micieli, Max Hilz, Pietro Cortelli. 2023
This book is focused on a clinical-based diagnostic approach of autonomic dysfunctions, highlighting main diagnostic tools and pharmacological and non-pharmacological…
therapies available nowadays. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a subcomponent of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and dysfunction of one or more subdivisions of the ANS, when accompanying other diseases, is linked to a worse prognosis of the latter. In some circumstances or when severe, dysfunction of ANS itself results in symptoms and disability. A myriad of factors can cause autonomic dysfunction and more than one can concur even in the same patient; due to the expansive nature of the ANS, patients can be affected by a wide range of conditions. Each chapter is characterized by a similar structure and is devoted to a different dysfunction. For each pathology, the book offers the essential information on mechanisms of action, treatments and outcomes. Written by experts in the research of these disorders, the volume addresses primarily Neurologists, but will be a useful tool also for Gastroenterologists, Ophthalmologists, Urologists, Cardiologists and Internal medicine specialists.Plastic Surgery of the Lower Eyelids
Par Jeremiah P. Tao. 2023

cosmetic surgery. The lower eyelids are very prone to malposition and even mild scarring or slight irregularities cause patient dissatisfaction. Ectropion, lagophthalmos, and retraction are common results of attempts to repair or rejuvenate the periocular area, but also pose serious risks to the eye. Skills in forestalling these issues as well as repairing them when they do are occur are paramount for any facial surgeon and are covered throughout the textbook.Plastic Surgery of the Lower Eyelids explores solutions and treatment of the spectrum of lower eyelid conditions and aesthetic concerns. It also highlights both functional and cosmetic surgery of the lower eyelids and cheeks that often co-exist. In addition to treatments for eyelid retraction that occurs after cosmetic lower eyelid surgery, this textbook details maneuvers that forestall malposition when performing aesthetic surgery. Residents, fellows and clinicians in oculoplastic surgery, ophthalmology, plastic surgery and other related fields will find this textbook to be an essential guide for delivering safe and effective lower eyelid surgery.Atlas of Lacrimal Drainage Disorders

drainage disorders with 4400+ images.. Lacrimal disorders are one of the most common conditions encountered not only by oculoplastic surgeons and general ophthalmologists, but also by otorhinolaryngologists in their daily practice. It is authored by a world renowned expert in the field. The 2nd edition consists of 103 chapters addressing the basic anatomy and underlying pathology, patient evaluation, and the surgical procedures currently performed in managing various lacrimal disorders. Surgical modalities including the endoscopic approaches are thoroughly and succinctly captured in pictures with detailed legends to aid understanding and offer a visual treat. The book discusses how to deal with surgical complications and failure in detail since familiarity with a surgical technique is incomplete without the knowledge of risk factors and redflags.The 2nd edition of the Atlas of Lacrimal Drainage Disorders is an essential companion to the author’s previous work ‘Principles and Practice of Lacrimal Surgery’.This detailed guide is an indispensable resource for practicing ophthalmologists, oculoplastic surgeons, dacryologists, ophthalmology residents, ophthalmology fellows, practicing otorhinolaryngologists, otolaryngology residents and rhinology fellows.Surgery in and around the Orbit: CrossRoads

This OpenAccess - textbook sheds new light on pathology in and around the orbit, which is typically an area where…
many medical disciplines overlap. Each physician brings a specific expertise, but the goal should be that the end result of all this input is much more than the sum of the parts. Collaboration, insight and overall knowledge of all parties involved are essential to achieve an optimal patient outcome.Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons have traditionally focused on the bony parts of the orbit, but usually have limited knowledge of the intricacies of binocular single vision, and for the Ophthalmologist it may be the other way around. In the past, scientific articles were often written from a single point of view, resulting in tunnel vision for the physician. The multidisciplinary approach to the orbit leads to an improvement in treatment that should not be underestimated and from which the patient benefits immensely. But especially for the physician and the trainees, a multidisciplinary consultation is a real goldmine in which a lot can be gained. Not every medical problem needs to be tackled in a multidisciplinary framework, but problems around the eye socket often do.At Amphia Hospital in Breda, the Netherlands, more than fifteen years ago, a collaboration between Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Endocrinologists, Radiologists and Ophthalmologists was initiated, which has proven to be very fruitful. The main focus was on Graves' Orbitopathy and orbital fractures, but problems associated with these conditions were also frequently encountered. For those who want to follow this example, or for those who are interested in both orbital surgery, anatomy or ophthalmological orbital issues, this book could prove to be complementary.Diagnosis and Surgical Therapy of Infantile Corneal Opacities (In Clinical Practice)
