Cowboys, Indiens et ... dentistes: une autre façon de voir le Far West / by Xavier Riaud
RK34.U6 R53 2024Y
L'Harmattan 2024
"Les westerns hollywoodiens des années 1960-70 nous montrent des héros, hommes ou femmes, aux sourires blancs, aux dents bien rangées… mais la réalité semble avoir été tout autre.
Xavier Riaud revient brièvement sur les institutions dentaires créées aux États-Unis avant la guerre de Sécession (1861-1865), leur fonctionnement pendant et les praticiens qui ont eu un impact direct sur le conflit.
Il s’interroge aussi sur l’état bucco-dentaire des plus grandes figures du Far West comme Billy le Kid, Jesse James, Calamity Jane, etc. et sur celui bien sûr des Indiens.
Parsemé d’anecdotes (le dentiste équin de Buffalo Bill, les Indiens eux-mêmes, Doc Holliday, dentiste et joueur de poker, grand ami de Wyatt Earp, etc.), ce livre revient notamment sur l’identification bucco-dentaire des soldats décédés à Little Bighorn (1876), la plus grande victoire indienne sur les tuniques bleues.
Nostalgie ou passion pour l’histoire américaine, cet opus a été écrit avec le souvenir des couleurs présentes dans les westerns de John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Errol Flynn…” From the publisher’s website.

Henri Petit: dentiste nancéien pendant la Grande Guerre / by Mathilde Hagelstein
RK43.P48 H34 2024Y
L'Harmattan 2024
“Au cœur du tumulte de la Grande Guerre, la santé des soldats est mise à rude épreuve et le Service de Santé des Armées se retrouve très rapidement désemparé. Aux nombreuses blessures et maladies dont souffrent les soldats, s'ajoutent les pathologies bucco-dentaires. Les dentistes, mobilisés comme simples soldats au début du conflit, doivent redoubler de persévérance et d'innovation pour soulager leurs camarades au front et à l'arrière. La lutte pour reconnaître l'importance des soins dentaires et pour établir un statut officiel de dentiste au sein de l'armée a constitué un défi supplémentaire. Ce livre met en lumière l'histoire personnelle d'Henri Petit, dentiste nancéien, témoin et acteur de cette époque troublée. Grâce à un précieux héritage de photographies et aux souvenirs partagés par son fils Daniel Petit, nous retraçons une partie de son histoire, depuis sa jeunesse, en passant par sa mobilisation et ses multiples affectations, jusqu'à son retour à la vie civile.” From back cover.

Errors in Medical Science Investigations / by Hamid Soori
Springer 2024
“This book introduces all common errors in medical science fields and the ways to control them. Systematic errors could be controlled both during study design and statistical analysis. Some errors have been presented in small segments but not in a comprehensive book.
It covers many common errors that usually affect the research proposals, final reports, theses, and scientific presentations in the field of medical sciences as well as the rejection reasons on scientific papers. It will help researchers to control common errors using epidemiological and statistical methods.” From publisher's website.
Medical Decision Making / by Harold C. Sox, Michael C. Higgins, Douglas K. Owens, Gillian Sanders Schmidler
John Wiley & Sons, 2024
“Sir William Osler, a legendary physician of an earlier era, once said, "Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability." In Osler’s day, and now, decisions about treatment often cannot wait until the diagnosis is certain. Medical Decision Making is about how to make the best possible decision given that uncertainty. The book shows how to tailor decisions under uncertainty to achieve the best outcome based on published evidence, features of a patient’s illness, and the patient’s preferences.
Medical Decision Making describes a powerful framework for helping clinicians and their patients reach decisions that lead to outcomes that the patient prefers. That framework contains the key principles of patient-centered decision-making in clinical practice.
Since the first edition of Medical Decision Making in 1988, the authors have focused on explaining key concepts and illustrating them with clinical examples. For the Third Edition, every chapter has been revised and updated.
Written by four distinguished and highly qualified authors, Medical Decision Making includes information on:
- How to consider the possible causes of a patient’s illness and decide on the probability of the most important diagnoses.
- How to measure the accuracy of a diagnostic test.
- How to help patients express their concerns about the risks that they face and how an illness may affect their lives.
- How to describe uncertainty about how an illness may change over time.
- How to construct and analyze decision trees.
- How to identify the threshold for doing a test or starting treatment
- How to apply these concepts to the design of practice guidelines and medical policy making.
Medical Decision Making is a valuable resource for clinicians, medical trainees, and students of decision analysis who wish to fully understand and apply the principles of decision making to clinical practice.” From publisher's website.
