Incertitude et présentification en hypnose clinique

2018

Nous proposons d’analyser une situation clinique dans une perspective de psychothérapie intégrative. Nous nous inscrivons dans le cadre de différentes approches : humaniste, psychodynamique, cognitive et comportementale, hypnose et EMDR. Dans ce contexte, nous présentons le parcours d’une patiente dont les réactions ont nécessité des aménagements du cadre thérapeutique et un changement de référentiel théorique. Nous sommes passés avec Mme Barnes d’un travail centré sur les cognitions et les comportements à une approche sensorielle et expérientielle par hypnose. La thérapie a initialement ciblé une symptomatologie anxieuse pour finalement se développer sur un versant existentiel intégrant la…

Meridianos distintos (Jīng Bié) y sistema linfático, comparación anatómica y funcional

2016

The analysis of possible meeting points between Chinese and Western medicine makes an addition to the gradual progress towards mutual understanding and synergy of both disciplines. The description of trajectories and functions of the Divergent Channels seems to suggest certain parallels regarding western anatomy and lymph system function. From the anatomical perspective, the trajectory of the JīngBie resembles the arrangement and energy flux direction to the lymph system. Besides, the position of the main JīngBie points, such as “Departure points” and “Window of Heaven points” tends to match regions with a high presence of lymph nodes. Also, the JīngBie functions resemble the physiology of …

Palliative Endoscopic Esophageal Stenting for Malignant Esophageal Tumour Complications: A Clinical Case and Single Centre Experience in Latvia

2020

Abstract Esophageal stenting is used in patients with malignant esophageal tumours to reduce dysphagia and inanition. The objective of this study was to analyse the main reasons for esophageal stenting in Rīga East Clinical University Hospital (RECUH) and their association with dysphagia and mortality. A cross-sectional study of all patients hospitalised in RECUH who received esophageal self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) from October 2013 to December 2015 was performed. A total of 29 patients, 24 (82.8%) male and 5 (17.2%) female, with mean age 63.7 ± 11.3 years, underwent the procedure. The most common indications for stenting were tumour-related stenosis (52.9%) and fistulae (17.6%). Mean…

Comparison of the thermal effects of Coblation and Radiofrequency waves in a porcine turbinate model

2018

Abstract BACKGROUND. Radiofrequency reduction and Coblation are widely used procedures for the treatment of functionally enlarged turbinates with an appropriate outcome. Bleeding and crusting are postoperative complications for Coblation. Thermographic measurements and histological analyses were used to elucidate the causes. MATERIAL AND METHODS. In a porcine turbinate model, double-needle electrodes of different lengths were tested using a 4MHz radiofrequency current with either automatic energy limitation or a predetermined energy amount of 200 J. Coblation, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, was carried out with a Reflex Ultra 45 wand. The generated temperature was measured wi…

PS02.010: ESTABLISHMENT OF THE UPPER GI INTERNATIONAL ROBOTIC ASSOCIATION (UGIRA)

2018

Abstract Background Robot-assisted surgery is increasingly performed for both benign and malignant upper gastro-intestinal disease. However, no global consensus exists regarding exact techniques and implementation methods of robotic esophageal and gastric surgery. To facilitate the effective implementation and advancement of these procedures, evidence based guidelines should be generated. In this context, the ‘Upper GI International Robotic Association’ (UGIRA) was established in 2017. Until now, 20 experienced robotic surgeons from 10 different countries in Europe (The Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom, Denmark), Asia (Japan, Hong Kong, North-Korea, Taiwan), North-America (United States…
