Echocardiographic Anatomy in the Fetus

By Enrico M. Chiappa, Andrew C. Cook, Gianni Botta, Norman H. Silverman
* Publisher: Springer
* Number Of Pages: 230
* Publication Date: 2008-10-24
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 8847005728
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9788847005723
Product Description:
Whether in fetal or postnatal life, echocardiographic diagnosis is based on moving images. With recent advances in ultrasound systems, storing multiple digital frames and clips with superb image quality has become a reality. These advances have brought innovative applications into the clinical field and can be integrated into powerful multimedia presentations for teaching purposes.
Sections of cardiac specimens are usually compared with corresponding sections in echocardiography textbooks. These sections are mainly obtained from isolated hearts, due to ease and speed of acquisition. Nevertheless, sections of the whole body are a better tool with which to understand the relationship between cardiac and extracardiac structures. This understanding is particularly important in fetal echocardiography, where the number of visible structures around the heart is much greater and the approaches to the fetal thorax are more variable.
The DVD accompanying the book presents morphological images from tomographic sections of the whole fetal body, as well as high-quality dynamic echocardiographic images of normal fetuses and of some of the most common congenital heart defects.
The extraordinary amount of information provided in this work makes this publication a highly useful resource for obstetricians, sonographers, and pediatric cardiologists.

Liver Radioembolization with 90Y Microspheres
Medical Radiology / Diagnostic Imaging
By Jos I. Bilbao, Maximilian F. Reiser, S. Nag
* Publisher: Springer
* Number Of Pages: 168
* Publication Date: 2008-03-11
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 3540354212
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783540354215
Product Description:This book provides an in-depth account of all aspects of radioembolization, a relatively novel technique based on the efficacy of radiotherapy for the treatment of liver tumors. Radioembolization combines embolization (intravascular deployment of particles microspheres loaded with yttrium-90) and brachytherapy (local administration of radiotherapy), thereby allowing delivery of high doses of beta-radiation specifically to the tumoral area in an attempt to overcome the problem of permanent radiation-induced damage to nontumoral liver parenchyma. Performance of the procedure demands close familiarity with the hepatic vascular anatomy in order to ensure avoidance of vessels going to other territories. Furthermore, a detailed knowledge of liver function, tumor volume, and liver vascular shunting is needed in order to calculate the appropriate therapeutic dose in each particular case. All of these topics are addressed in depth in this book, and initial promising clinical results are presented.

Radiation Hormesis and the Linear-No-Threshold Assumption
By Charles L. Sanders
* Publisher: Springer
* Number Of Pages: 217
* Publication Date: 2009-11-10
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 3642037194
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783642037191
Product Description:
Current radiation protection standards are based upon the application of the linear no-threshold (LNT) assumption, which considers that even very low doses of ionizing radiation can cause cancer. The radiation hormesis hypothesis, by contrast, proposes that low-dose ionizing radiation is beneficial. In this book, the author examines all facets of radiation hormesis in detail, including the history of the concept and mechanisms, and presents comprehensive, up-to-date reviews for major cancer types. It is explained how low-dose radiation can in fact decrease all-cause and all-cancer mortality and help to control ****static cancer. Attention is also drawn to biases in epidemiological research when using the LNT assumption. The author shows how proponents of the LNT assumption consistently reject, manipulate, and deliberately ignore an overwhelming abundance of published data and falsely claim that no reliable data are available at doses of less than 100 mSv.

As technology improves diagnosis and treatment, physicians are either early adopters or those who wait to see if a new approach is really better than the current standard. The adopters are challenged with becoming proficient in new skills, while those who resist need to be convinced that change is called for, and that it justifies the costs of time and money. Buying new equipment always provokes discussion of who pays for it, and what must be sacrificed. Finally, a new program may step on someone elses turf. There are disputes about who is best qualified to use the technology, along with calculations of the financial impact on existing programs and the potential legal liability of using new methods. The introduction of ultrasonography into frontline critical care medicine is a case in point, and obstacles to its current wide use are similar to those that appeared with the introduction of other new technology that ultimately revolutionized the practice of pulmonary and critical care medicine. In the 1970s, flexible
bronchoscopy gave pulmonary and critical care physicians a tool to expand their diagnostic abilities beyond the history, physical examination, and the chest radiograph. They had to learn how to use the bronchoscope, find the money to buy the equipment, and overcome the objections of many otolaryngologists and thoracic surgeons who strongly believed that people from internal medicine backgrounds had no business endoscoping the airways, no less performing biopsies of the airway and lung parenchyma. Of course, this resolved over several years, and flexible bronchoscopy is now a core procedure of pulmonary and critical care medicine physicians.

Product Description:
Over recent years the MRCS viva examination has increasingly made use of radiological imaging to facilitate the discussion of anatomy relevant to surgical practice. It is rare for junior doctors to receive adequate exposure to radiology in their day-to-day surgical practice, which makes preparation for this part of the examination difficult. For many, examinations are stressful. The last thing a candidate needs is to be faced with unfamiliar radiological images. This review of surgically relevant radiological imaging aims to prevent initial uncertainties and will allow candidates to discuss relevant anatomy and score valuable points. An invaluable addition to any revision plan, this title also: highlights typical anatomy viva questions familiarizes candidates with a range of images of differing modalities (plain film, fluoroscopy, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) introduces different planes of imaging, enabling candidates to deal with unusual coronal or sagittal views with confidence gives concise but detailed notes for quick consultation

Product Description
:
Stroke increases the risk of dementia by approximate 2-9 times. World wide, vascular dementia (VaD) is the second commonest cause of dementia. Presence of post-stroke dementia (PSD) reduces survival among stroke survivors and increases risk of long term stroke recurrence. Varying severity levels of cognitive impairment affects functional outcome independent of physical impairment. With an ageing population, burden of PSD is expected to rise. Although PSD is prevalent, relevant to mortality and morbidity, and is potentially more preventable than Alzheimer’s disease (AD), it has received less attention relative to post-stroke physical impairment or to AD. It is not until the last decade that more attention has been paid to PSD. Historically, in the late 19th century, VaD was considered to be the commonest cause of dementia. It was thought that dementia was due to a relentless strangulation of the brain’s blood supply, resulting in degeneration of the brain and dementia.In the middle of the 20th century, pathological studies have begun to reveal that senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, rather than vascular lesions, were key findings among most of the elderly demented patients with atrophic brains. In the early 70s, VaD was thought to be uncommon and the mechanism of VaD was attributed to multiple small or large cerebral infarcts (multi-infarct dementia). In recent decades, advances of neuroimaging have enhanced greatly our understanding on VaD, its complexity far exceeds that of the concept of multi-infarct dementia. The authors aim to review the current understanding of PSD and its imaging. Poststroke dementia will first be defined. Following that, foundational issues of PSD including its classification, pathology, prevalence, and cognitive pattern will be reviewed. This sets the background for discussing the imaging aspects relevant to PSD.

Medical Therapy in Urology

Medical Therapy in Urology
By Iqbal S. Shergill, Manit Arya, Philippe R. Grange, Anthony R. Mundy

  • Publisher: Springer
  • Number Of Pages: 241
  • Publication Date: 2009-12-18
  • ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1848827032
  • ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781848827035

Product Description:

The future of urology is changing from being based around surgical urology to an outpatient, or “office based” system, based on medical management of urological conditions. Furthermore, the medical student curriculum appears to have less and less emphasis on the teaching of urology.

Last year, there were almost one million seven hundred thousand hospital consultations involving urological symptoms in the UK, and an estimated 5 million consultations in general practice. With such a significant proportion of care being delivered for urological pathology, 80% of which can be managed medically, it is crucial that there is a resource available to providers that will serve as a quick and useful guide to the medical management of urological disease.

  • ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780444520098

Product Description:

The discipline of neurology emerged in the second half of the 19th Century. With it, chairs and departments of neurology, training programs, specialized journals, and new societies came into being. Trying to understand disorders of the nervous system, however, has roots that can be traced back into antiquity, and the new discipline did not develop in similar ways throughout the world. Further, whereas some neurological disorders seemed relatively easy to understand even before there was a neurological examination, others posed challenges, and many still remain shrouded in mystery. The authors of the present volume examine the fascinating prehistory of neurology, its emergence with as an independent discipline, and how it developed throughout the world. They also look at a number of neurological disorders, some sensory, others motor, and still others affecting higher cognitive functions, to illustrate how our understanding of neurological disorders has changed over time. With 55 chapters, many covering material that has received little or no coverage in other books, this history of neurology is unique in its breadth and depth. Filling a great void, its pages are laced with fascinating medical facts, information about people, and cultural connections. This volume is sure to appeal to neurologists, historians of science and medicine, and inquisitive people from other fields — readers who wish to understand the roots of a discipline and the challenges faced by its pioneers.
