Appareillages de pratique esthétique (2e ed.)


Book Description

Les appareillages utilisés pour les soins esthétiques sont extrêmement nombreux. Se repérer dans le large éventail d’articles proposés par les fabricants n’est pas chose aisée, d’autant moins que les notices sont souvent très succintes quant au mode de fonctionnement et aux divers accessoires qui composent les appareils. Cet ouvrage a été le premier à présenter un panorama complet de ces appareils. Ce domaine évoluant très vite, cette nouvelle édition s’est enrichie des nouveautés du marché et demeure un outil sans équivalent tant par son approche pratique que par ses qualités pédagogiques. Afin d’être didactique et de permettre aux lecteurs de trouver rapidement l’information recherchée, les appareillages sont largement illustrés, classés selon leur principe de fonctionnement et présentés selon le même plan : description, principe de fonctionnement, mode d'action, indications, utilisation, précautions d'emploi, entretien, avantages et inconvénients. Des rappels généraux de physique aident à la compréhension des divers systèmes évoqués. Cette nouvelle édition s’enrichit des nouveaux appareillages issus des récentes techniques de rajeunissement, de remodelage du corps, d’amincissement, d’examen de la peau et d’épilation. De plus, un chapitre consacré à la législation présente les nouvelles normes et recommandations en la matière. Appareillages de pratique esthétique ne se limite pas aux exigences des différents diplômes et enseignements de l’esthétique-cosmétique : il englobe les nouveautés techniques présentes sur le marché qui doivent être connues des spécialistes. Cet ouvrage a été conçu pour les étudiants et enseignants en CAP et BTS esthétique - cosmétique, et les professionnels de l'esthétique et médecins.

The Cinema of Attractions Reloaded


Book Description

Twenty years ago, noted film scholars Tom Gunning and André Gaudreault introduced the phrase “cinema of attractions” to describe the essential qualities of films made in the medium’s earliest days, those produced between 1895 and 1906. Now, The Cinema of Attractions Reloaded critically examines the term and its subsequent wide-ranging use in film studies. The collection opens with a history of the term, tracing the collaboration between Gaudreault and Gunning, the genesis of the term in their attempts to explain the spectacular effects of motion that lay at the heart of early cinema, and the pair’s debts to Sergei Eisenstein and others. This reconstruction is followed by a look at applications of the term to more recent film productions, from the works of the Wachowski brothers to virtual reality and video games. With essays by an impressive collection of international film scholars—and featuring contributions by Gunning and Gaudreault as well—The Cinema of Attractions Reloaded will be necessary reading for all scholars of early film and its continuing influence.







Varicose Veins and Telangiectasias


Book Description

Varicose veins and telangiectasias are the most frequent presentations of chronic venous disease. In Western societies, they affect almost one person out of two. A disease of aging, chronic venous disease is almost as frequent in men as in women. The high prevalence of the disease, the suffering it engenders, and the serious progressive stages that may occur, together with its impact on healthcare costs, call for attentive and informed management by the physician. The highly informative review affords the practitioner a clear, objective, and practical view of phlebology. Thanks to the multidisciplinary experience of the authors, the book rigorously defines varicose veins and telangiectasias and positions them in the context of chronic venous disease. The book then covers, in depth, the appearance, symptoms and complications, and the clinical examination and complementary investigations related to disease. Lastly, a large part of the book is devoted to prevention (with, in particular, a chapter on lifestyle) and treatment (practitioners and patients will find much valuable advice). Intended for practitioners in their everyday practice, this book aims to inform them of the existing treatment options, their indications, value, and potential complications. To that end, an entire chapter reviews the therapeutic strategy to be set up and implemented. The multidisciplinary nature of phlebology is also reflected in the authors' training.
