Radiology

"Radiology" by Amit Mehta and Douglas P. Beall
Humana Press | 416 pages | English | 2005 | ISBN: 1588293572 | PDF | 13,0 MB

A concise and comprehensive review of findings and differential diagnoses found on the oral board examination for diagnostic radiology. Drawing on pertinent and key differential diagnoses, the authors have assembled and organized the diagnoses most likely to appear on the exam and illustrated them with essential images to reinforce the findings associated with each differential. Additionally, with each finding set is provided a mnemonic to augment recall of any missing components of the differential that would be considered important. Because of their concise presentation, many cases can be examined, interpreted, completed, and memorized very rapidly in a single sitting. Since the majority of cases contain prototypical representations of pathology, the book also serves as an excellent reference source for many years after the reader has taken and passed the oral board examination.

Aging and Age-Related Disorders (Oxidative Stress in Applied Basic Research and Clinical Practice)

Aging and Age-Related Disorders (Oxidative Stress in Applied Basic Research and Clinical Practice)
Humana Press; 1st Edition. edition (September 1, 2010) | ISBN: 1607616017 | 472 pages | PDF | 4 MB

Features that characterize the aging process include the gradual accumulation of cell damage after prolonged exposure to oxidative and inflammatory events over a lifetime. In addition to the accretion of lesions, the intrinsic levels of pro-oxidant and aberrant immune responses are elevated with age. These adverse events are often further enhanced by the chronic and slow progressing diseases that characterize the senescent brain and cardiovascular system. The incidence of some disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and vascular diseases are sufficiently prevalent in the extreme elderly that these disorders can arguably be considered "normal". Aging and Aging-Related Disorders examines the interface between normal and pathological aging, and illustrates how this border can sometimes be diffuse. It explores and illustrates the processes underlying the means by which aging becomes increasingly associated with inappropriate levels of free radical activity and how this can serve as a platform for the progression of age-related diseases. The book provides chapters that examine the interactive relationship between systems in the body that can enhance or sometimes even limit cellular longevity. In addition, specific redox mechanisms in cells are discussed. Another important aspect for aging discussed here is the close relationship between the systems of the body and exposure to environmental influences of oxidative stress that can affect both cellular senescence and a cell’s nuclear DNA. What may be even more interesting to note is that these external stressors are not simply confined to illnesses usually associated with aging, but can be evident in maturing and young individuals. A broad range of internationally recognized experts have contributed to this book. Their aim is to successfully highlight emerging knowledge and therapy for the understanding of the basis and development of aging–related disorders.

Patient-Specific Modeling of the Cardiovascular System: Technology-Driven Personalized Medicine

Patient-Specific Modeling of the Cardiovascular System: Technology-Driven Personalized Medicine
Springer | 2010-09-01 | ISBN: 1441966900 | 200 pages | PDF | 7.80 MB

The main purpose of the book is to demonstrate the design of a variety of patient-specific models within the cardiovascular system in computational biology. The maturation of computational biology could lead to a new approach to medicine. During the last five to ten years, there have been many improvements in diagnostic medical technologies such as multi-slice cardiac CT imaging, 3-D electroanatomic mapping, and many types of applications of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (i.e. magnetic resonance tagging and diffusion tensor imaging). Combined with more powerful computing resources and more accurate predictive computational models it is feasible to begin developing mechanistic patient-specific models that may help diagnosis, guide therapy or surgery, and predict outcomes of the latter. Many questions need to be answered before computational modeling can be fully integrated with standard care, such as what is the minimal data set needed from the patient in order to build a reliable predictive model? What accuracy is needed? How will the initial baseline model be validated? What are reasonable computation times? Is some type of perturbation of the patient’s physiology necessary? How could they be integrated with current practices? Are physicians willing to accept these models? These questions will also serve as guidelines throughout the chapters. The book will try to cover, such as cardiac electrophysiology, cardiac (muscle) mechanics, circulation dynamics, arterial and venous flow, angiogenesis, remodeling, metabolism, or combinations between these such as cardiac electromechanics or fluid-solid interactions.

Transforming the Internal World and Attachment, Volume II: Clinical Applications
Jason Aronson (January 16, 2010) | ISBN: 0765707098 076570711X | 210 pages | PDF | 1 MB

Transforming the Internal World and Attachment reviews and discusses four theories about what makes psychotherapy effective across forms of treatment, treatment settings, and diagnostic categories: mindfulness, mentalization, psychological mindedness, and the attachment relationship. Geoff Goodman offers some provisional hypotheses about therapeutic effectiveness and suggests some ways of testing these hypotheses empirically, using sophisticated assessment instruments that measure psychotherapy process and outcome. Goodman suggests that the therapeutic community's survival depends on submitting its craft to empirical scrutiny before the pharmaceutical drug lords strip it away from us.

Judith Healy, Paul Dugdale - Patient Safety First: Responsive Regulation in Health Care

Judith Healy, Paul Dugdale - Patient Safety First: Responsive Regulation in Health Care
Allen & Unwin | ISBN: 1742370586 | 2010-04-01 | PDF | 336 pages | 1.31 Mb

This title presents a much needed systematic analysis of the current issues, challenges, and outcomes surrounding patient safety in health care. It features dedicated mailing and e-mail campaign to healthcare related media & organisations. Each year more people die in health care accidents than in road accidents. Increasingly complex medical treatments and overstretched health systems create more opportunities for things to go wrong, and they do. Patient safety is now a major regulatory issue around the world, and Australia has been at its leading edge. Self-regulation by professional and industry groups is now widely regarded as insufficient, and government is stepping in. In "Patient Safety First", leading experts survey the governance of clinical care.

Framed within a theory of responsive regulation, core regulatory approaches to patient safety are analysed for their effectiveness, including information systems, corporate and public institution governance models, the design of safe systems, the role of medical boards, open disclosure and public inquiries. This is essential reading for all medical and legal professionals working in patient safety as well as readers in public health, health policy and governance.

Because of the metal's density and metallurgical properties, depleted uranium(DU) saw widespread use during the Persian Gulf War in improved armor and antiarmorrounds of increased penetrating power. This report examines the scientific literatureregarding possible health effects on U.S. troops of exposure to DU. While very littleliterature directly addresses DU, a wide body of literature deals with the health effects ofnatural uranium and enriched uranium. DU is toxicologically identical to natural uranium andradiologically more benign because it is less radioactive. No increase in overall deaths hasbeen observed as a result of exposure to natural uranium in several epidemiologicalstudies. The literature review paid close attention to the ongoing study of a group of GulfWar Veterans who received the highest exposure to DU. Those with embedded fragmentshave elevated urine uranium levels, but researchers report neither adverse renal effectsattributable to DU nor any adverse health effects related to DU radiation.

Enzyme- and Transporter-Based Drug-Drug Interactions: Progress and Future Challenges

The goal of this book is to provide a comprehensive view of the scientific bases on issues surrounding the importance of drug-enzyme and drug-transporter interactions and the quantitative predictions of clinically relevant transporter and enzyme based interactions. Although much progress has been made in predicting in vivo metabolic drug interactions based on in vitro studies, the quantitative prediction of clinically relevant transporter-and enzyme based drug interactions remains to be a challenge. The more complex metabolic drug interactions such as inductive, mechanism-based and allosteric drug interactions render difficulty for prediction in vivo. This book will further assess the progress made in quantitatively predicting metabolic and transporter-based drug interactions as well as highlight areas where such predictions are poor or not possible.

Growth Disorders

Linear growth is a biological process of fundamental importance to the physical and psychological make-up of a child and adolescent but which can be subject to a number of interruptions and disorders. The management and treatement of patients with growth disorders constitutes a major, and important, part of practice in clinical pediatrics, while in public health terms growth assessment remains one of the most useful indices of health and economic well being in both developed and the developing world.

High Altitude Medicine and Physiology

High Altitude Medicine and Physiology
A Hodder Arnold Publication | 2007-06-14 | ISBN: 0340913444 1444113682 | 480 pages | PDF | 2 MB

More than half a century has passed since man first stood on the summit of Mount Everest, and the story of man's attempts to climb higher and higher unaided is one of the more colorful and exciting in medicine and physiology. The past few decades have seen an explosion in interest in mountain pursuits in general, as increasing numbers of people take to the mountains for day trips and on longer excursions. As a result, doctors face ever-expanding challenges in dealing with the changes in human physiology and particular medical conditions that arise from exposure to altitude.
Building on the success and reputation of previous editions, the fourth edition of High Altitude Medicine and Physiology includes major changes in the scientific content, with updates in many areas. The area of genetics has assumed great importance, along with other advances in molecular biology and medicine, and these are incorporated throughout the text. There are also new or improved sections on women and children at high altitude, the role of vascular endothelial growth factor, neurological disorders at high altitude, athletic training using high altitude, high altitude pulmonary edema, and the problems of patients with pre-existing diseases. Other new features include summary boxes highlighting important concepts, and increased tabulation of key data for rapid reference. While the authors have added much new material, they have also prudently trimmed down the existing material so that the text is still easily manageable and accessible in this fourth edition.
High Altitude Medicine and Physiology remains invaluable reading for any doctor accompanying an expedition to--or advising patients on a visit to--a high altitude area, and for those physicians and physiologists who study our dependence on oxygen.

S. Karger AG | ISBN: 3805592949 | 2009-11-30 | PDF | 216 pages | 2.21 Mb

Digestive-disease-associated mortality accounts for a major part of all deaths in Western societies and inflammatory diseases such as GI infections, viral hepatitis, GERD or cancers due to chronic inflammation have a tangible economic and social impact. What further aggravates the situation is the fact that complex immunological disorders have surfaced where anti-infective treatments are not effective. Fortunately, due to breakthroughs in basic research that are being successfully translated into clinical practice, new treatment strategies are constantly evolving. In addition to the development of new therapeutic measures, however, it is also mandatory to review and periodically refine established treatment regimens to reflect current knowledge and ensure up-to-date medical care. Combining outstanding basic research reviews with cutting-edge treatment guidelines on inflammatory disorders of the GI tract, this book presents newly identified treatment targets and provides clinicians and practitioners in the field with a most useful account of the state of the art.

J. Bogousslavsky, M. G. Hennerici, H. Bazner, C. Bassetti - Neurological Disorders in Famous Artists (Part 3)

J. Bogousslavsky, M. G. Hennerici, H. Bazner, C. Bassetti - Neurological Disorders in Famous Artists (Part 3)
S. Karger AG | ISBN: 3805593309 | 2010-03-31 | PDF | 242 pages | 2.51 Mb

The third part of “Neurological Disorders in Famous Artists” presents painters, musicians, and writers who had to fight against an acute or chronic neurological disease. Sometimes this fight was without success (e.g. Shostakovich, Schumann, Wolf, Pascal), but often a dynamic and paradoxical creativity of the clinical disorder was integrated into their artistic production (e.g. Klee, Ramuz). Occasionally, some even wrote the first report of a medical condition they observed in themselves, like Stendhal who made a detailed report of aphasic transient ischemic attacks before dying of stroke shortly thereafter. In rarer instances, a neurological disease was inaccurately attributed to an artist in order to explain certain features of his work (de Chirico, Schiele). Some chapters in this publication focus on neurological conditions reported in artistic work, including descriptions by Shakespeare and Dumas. Bringing new light to both artists and neurological conditions, this book serves as a valuable and entertaining read for neurologists, psychiatrists, physicians, and anybody interested in arts, literature and music.

S. Karger AG | ISBN: 380559478X | 2010-04-30 | PDF | 195 pages | 1.49 Mb

Acute organ damage and the ensuing multiple organ failure are the result of a pathophysiological process involving various cytokines. Once activated, these proteins cannot be eliminated even when the kidneys function at their maximum capacity. To counteract this mechanism, researchers in Japan have developed an innovative concept employing blood purification to remove the overwhelming cytokines. This book describes the use of hemodiafiltration to inhibit the cytokine storms which cause serious organ damage in patients with septic shock. Moreover, the technical construction of the blood purification system, which includes various machines, devices, membranes, fluids, etc., is explained in detail. Finally, leading experts discuss the concept of continuous renal replacement therapy as the standard care in critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury. Describing the current state of acute blood purification, this publication provides new impulses and opens new avenues in the treatment of acute organ damage.
