Imaging of the prostate and male genital organs
Laurence Rocher, Raphaëlle Renard-Penna
Elsevier
312 pages
ISBN: 9782294788369
October 2025
Imaging of the male pelvis was long reserved for specialist radiologists. The increase in pathological conditions, as well as the evolution of indications and recommendations, has considerably increased the use of imaging, with less specialized practitioners now encountering these conditions. This book thus addresses a significant training need. The reasons for consultation and the types of conditions are numerous. This new volume in the "Syllabus of the SFR" (French Society of Radiology) and SIGU (French Society of Genitourinary Imaging) series comprehensively describes these conditions, whether they concern the scrotum, the penis, or the prostate. It offers a state-of-the-art overview of imaging of the male genital and reproductive system. Detailed anatomical and pathophysiological knowledge is provided to further refine the interpretation of examinations and to consider therapeutic options. Trauma, cancer, and both common and rare pathologies are covered in dedicated chapters, as is the evaluation of infertility.

Elsevier
384 pages
ISBN: 9782294787928
November 2025
Genital dermatoses, with their highly varied etiologies—inflammatory, infectious, tumoral, or traumatic—are common in both women and men. This book compiles essential and current data on genital dermatological pathology in both women and men. It is intended for all physicians, whether practicing or in training, and particularly for dermatologists, gynecologists, and urologists wishing to learn or refine their knowledge in the many facets of this shared field. An introductory chapter, entitled "The Fundamentals," covers the necessary knowledge in embryology, anatomy, and histology of the external genitalia. It also offers a practical and respectful approach to examining the genital region, a delicate area both symbolically and physically. Uniquely, the authors, writing collaboratively, have chosen to address the female and male aspects of each genital dermatosis simultaneously, highlighting both their commonalities and the specific characteristics of each sex.

Clinical reasoning in emergency medicine
Maurice Raphaël, Frederic Thys
Elsevier
344 pages
ISBN: 9782294782336
November 2025
Addressing issues encountered by practitioners in their daily work, the "Elsevier Practical" collection provides precise, readily accessible clinical answers. These books are designed to support clinical practice. In the emergency department, physicians frequently face the unpredictable: vague symptoms, incomplete data, time pressure, anxious patients, and a constant flow of patients. In this context, clinical reasoning is not an intellectual luxury, but a crucial tool that guides practitioners in making decisions, or not making them. Reasoning quickly, but correctly. The main challenge is to identify severity before probability, to avoid missing a life-threatening emergency, without succumbing to the temptation of ordering numerous unnecessary tests that clog the services. It also means mastering the shortcuts, those cognitive shortcuts that sometimes lead us astray in good faith. This is the delicate balance that this book proposes to explore. Born from reflection, experience, and shared perspectives, this book goes beyond simply stating algorithms. It illuminates the thought processes, the cognitive biases that threaten clarity of judgment, and the strategies that ensure safe action.
Sleep and mental health
Pierre-Alexis Geoffroy
Elsevier
584 pages
ISBN: 9782294787119
November 2025
Monographs in Psychiatry are reference works on psychiatric disorders and the major issues within the discipline. They allow practitioners to deepen and update their knowledge by presenting current fundamental data and their applications in clinical practice. Sleep, an essential pillar of mental health, is still too often underestimated in psychiatric practice. Yet, these disorders are ubiquitous and intimately linked to numerous psychiatric conditions, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, addictions, and eating disorders. The real challenge today lies in a thorough understanding of the physiological and neurobiological mechanisms of sleep, in order to improve the diagnosis, management, and prevention of associated psychiatric disorders. Recent advances in neuroscience, genetics, and chronobiology offer unprecedented perspectives: it is becoming crucial to fully integrate the dimension of sleep into the heart of modern psychiatry, in order to provide more precise and personalized care. The first comprehensive French-language reference work on the subject, this book offers a complete exploration of the links between sleep, biological rhythms, and mental health, structured in three essential parts.

Psychotherapies for OCD and related disorders
Alexandra Bouvard, Florence Josse, Bruno Aouizerate,
Elsevier
240 pages
ISBN: 9782294779657
December 2025
Beginning most often before the age of 25, OCD frequently manifests as repetitive and uncontrolled behaviors adopted by the patient to compensate for the anxiety generated by obsessions (disturbing, repetitive, and uncontrollable thoughts). Often hidden by patients (due to shame or guilt), OCD is frequently diagnosed and treated late, causing suffering and disability for both patients and their families. Written in the form of clear and concise fact sheets, this book first provides a review of the epidemiological and clinical aspects of OCD and related disorders, as well as differential diagnoses and comorbidities. It then addresses in detail the various pathophysiological models and the methods of treatment using CBT, which has proven its effectiveness.

Yann Auxéméry, Nayla Chidiac
Elsevier
336 pages
ISBN: 9782294788475
December 2025
Psychological trauma, often difficult to diagnose early due to its dissociative and inexpressible nature, remains underestimated. This book, *Psychotherapies for Psychological Trauma*, emphasizes the importance of accurately identifying suffering in order to tailor therapeutic responses. The first part explores clinical aspects, including the typology and structure of trauma, to better understand its nature and impact. The second part focuses on therapeutic principles and treatments, offering concrete strategies to alleviate suffering. The final section presents innovative therapeutic approaches, such as body therapy, art therapy, animal-assisted therapy, and dance therapy, to enrich the range of possible interventions.

Imagerie des urgences abdominales, 1e
Emergency abdominal imaging
Kathia Chaumoitre
Elsevier
248 pages
ISBN: 9782294788499
October 2025
Abdominal pain is a frequent reason for seeking medical advice. While most causes of this pain are benign, some constitute genuine emergencies. The results of the initial patient history and physical examination conducted by the first clinician assessing a patient are often nonspecific and insufficient in cases of severe symptoms. Imaging therefore plays a central role in managing abdominal emergencies. The types of abdominal emergencies encountered are numerous, and this new volume in the "Syllabus of the SFR" (French Society of Radiology) and SIAD (French Society of Abdominal and Digestive Imaging) series describes them comprehensively. It thus presents a state-of-the-art overview of abdominal emergency imaging. Trauma is addressed first and foremost, with the various injuries then detailed by region (right hypochondrium, right and left iliac fossae, epigastrium). Gastrointestinal bleeding, acute mesenteric ischemia, obstructions, and acute ileocolitis are also covered, not forgetting shock originating in the abdomen and acute postoperative complications, which are addressed in specific chapters. Richly illustrated and comprehensive, presented in a didactic manner and written by leading experts in diagnostic and interventional abdominal imaging, this book is the current reference on the subject.
