Paediatric Surgery Workbook

Paediatric Surgery Workbook
by J. H. R. Becker


Publisher: Van Schaik, 2006
ISBN: 0627026435, 9780627026430
Pages: 258 pages

This book is designed to act as a guide to lecturers in paediatric surgery, preparing undergraduate students to have the level of knowledge in this field of that of a General Practitioner in practice. The text is not intended to be a complete guide to paediatric surgery; it is rather a guide to the outcomes that we in South Africa would like to achieve with our undergraduate students so that on qualifying, they are all on a par throughout the country. The new curriculum that has been developed at the different Medical Schools has resulted in the fragmentation of teaching in paediatric surgery, resulting in the possibility that certain aspects of paediatric surgery may be omitted so that there may be serious gaps in important knowledge.

This is a workbook; the text will never be identical to the style of the lecturer. Ample space has been provided for adding additional information included by the lecturer so that the end-result will be in line with the particular lecturer’s preferences. The editor welcomes comments from all who use the book regarding any glaring omissions or commissions and any other suggestions so that any necessary alterations can be made in the next edition.

The editor and co-authors hope that this guide to paediatric surgery teaching in South Africa will achieve its goal by creating a good foundation in the principles of how to treat our children with paediatric surgical problems in an appropriate manner, thus improving the morbidity and mortality of all our patients.

Publication Date: 2009-10-09
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1441904832

Imaging Informatics Professionals (IIPs) have come to play an indispensable role in modern medicine, and the scope of this profession has grown far beyond the boundaries of the PACS. A successful IIP must not only understand the PACS itself, but also have knowledge of clinical workflow, a base in several medical specialties, and a solid IT capability regarding software interactions and networking. With the introduction of a certification test for the IIP position, a single source was needed to explain the fundamentals of imaging informatics and to demonstrate how those fundamentals are applied in everyday practice. Practical Imaging Informatics describes the foundations of information technology and clinical image management, details typical daily operations, and discusses rarer complications and issues.

Sexually Transmissible Infections in Clinical Practice: A problem-based approach

Sexually Transmissible Infections in Clinical Practice: A problem-based approach
By Alexander McMillan


Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 241
Publication Date: 2009-10-02
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1848825560
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781848825567


Product Description:
Undergraduate medical education has moved away from the former didactic style of teaching to one of problem-based learning. The specialty of Genitourinary Medicine (GUM) that includes sexually transmissible infections (STIs) lends itself to the latter; self-directed learning. This is particularly important as time allocated to the specialty in most medical curricula is short, and the student cannot possibly cover all the topics with which he/she is expected to be familiar. Several excellent textbooks on GUM exist, but they mostly follow the traditional format, with emphasis on individual diseases rather than case-scenarios. The books that follow a more syndromic approach do not pose questions to help the student understand how the material presented can be translated into clinical practice. As specialist clinics become more hard-pressed, family medicine practitioners are thus becoming increasingly involved in the management of STIs and there is without doubt now a need for a book specifically designed for problem solving in STI management.

Religion and Spirituality in Psychiatry

Religion and Spirituality in Psychiatry
By Philippe Huguelet MD, Harold G. Koenig MD


* Publisher: Cambridge University Press
* Number Of Pages: 384
* Publication Date: 2009-03-30
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0521889529
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780521889520

Product Description:
Although medicine is practiced in a secular setting, religious and spiritual issues have an impact on patient perspectives regarding their health and the management of any disorders that may afflict them. This is especially true in psychiatry, as feelings of spirituality and religiousness are very prevalent among the mentally ill. Clinicians are rarely aware of the importance of religion and understand little of its value as a mediating force for coping with mental illness. This monograph addresses various issues concerning mental illness in psychiatry: the relation of religious issues to mental health; the tension between a theoretical approach to problems and psychiatric approaches; the importance of addressing these varying approaches in patient care and how to do so; and differing ways to approach Christian, Muslim, and Buddhist patients. This is the first book to specifically cover the impact of religion and spirituality on mental illness.

Psychological Factors and Cardiovascular Disorders: The Role of Stress and Psychosocial Influences
By Leo Sher

Publisher: Nova Kroshka Books
Number Of Pages: 468
Publication Date: 2009-01-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1604569239
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781604569230

Product Description:
Psychological factors significantly affect the cardiovascular system and play an important role in the etiopathogenesis of cardiovascular disorders. For the past several decades attention to the psychosocial and behavioral factors in cardiovascular disease has increased significantly. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that psychosocial factors contribute significantly to coronary heart disease as evidenced by data relating risk to depression, anxiety, personality factors and character traits, social isolation, and chronic life stress. When psychosocial stresses tend to cluster together, risk for cardiac events is often substantially elevated, equaling or exceeding that associated with standard biomedical risk factors for coronary disease such as hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. Understanding the integration of the interactions among multiple psychological and biological factors in the regulation of the cardiovascular system and the development of cardiovascular disorders is an important challenge for future research. This book will contribute to this goal. The contributors to this book are the leading international experts in the field of the relation between psychological processes and cardiovascular disorders. This book will be of interest to physicians, psychologists, mental health counselors, other clinicians, medical and psychology students, medical residents, and the general public.

A Clinician's Pearls & Myths in Rheumatology

A Clinician's Pearls & Myths in Rheumatology
By John H. Stone

Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 504
Publication Date: 2009-10-08
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 184800933X
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781848009332

Product Description:
Rheumatic diseases pose enormous challenges for most clinicians. Important strides have been made in understanding the pathophysiologic basis of many inflammatory conditions in recent years, but rheumatology remains a discipline in which diagnosis is rooted in the medical history skillfully extracted from the patient, the careful physical examination, and the discriminating use of laboratory tests and imaging. Moreover, selection of the most appropriate therapy for patients with rheumatic diseases also remains heavily reliant upon clinical experience.

Medical disciplines such as rheumatology that depend significantly upon clinical wisdom over quantitative diagnostic techniques are prone to the development of systems of ‘Pearls’ and ‘Myths,’ related to the diseases they call their own. For the purposes of this book, a ‘Pearl’ shall be regarded as a nugget of truth about the diagnosis or treatment of a particular disease that has been gained by dint of clinical experience. Conversely, a ‘Myth’ is a commonly held belief that influences the practice of many clinicians – but is false.

For a variety of reasons, the field of rheumatology has a long tradition of ‘Pearls’ and ‘Myths,’ and this book will pool together the clinical wisdom of seasoned, expert rheumatologists who participate in the care of patients with autoimmune diseases, systemic inflammatory disorders, and all other rheumatic conditions.

This book complements the previously published Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases by elaborating upon the basic principles found therein, with concrete pieces of clinical know-how that are not found in traditional texts.

Vascular Surgery

By Linda Hands



* Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
* Number Of Pages: 640
* Publication Date: 2007-09-06
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0199203083
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780199203086

Product Description:
This book is designed to meet the needs of the vascular trainee. It can be carried in the pocket for easy access and provides practical advice on all commonly encountered peripheral vascular problems. It focuses on surgical detail, but also carried background information on presentation and details on preoperative investigation and postoperative management. The book gives relevant information for use when seeking patient consent. Each operation carries an OPCS code, increasingly important in recording surgical activity.
Alternative interventions are given, including both radiological procedures and medical management where appropriate; an important approach given the evolving vascular specialist who has responsibility in all three fields. It informs the vascular trainee from their earliest encounter with the area to those completing their fellowship. It should also be of interest to the PRHO on the vascular ward, the specialist vascular nurse, the vascular anaesthetist, the intensivist and the vascular radiologist.

The Ethics of Research Biobanking

* Publication Date: 2009-07-31
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0387938710
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780387938714

Product Description:
Biobanking, i.e. storage of biological samples or data emerging from such samples for diagnostic, therapeutic or research purposes, has been going on for decades. However, it is only since the mid 1990s that these activities have become the subject of considerable public attention, concern and debate. This shift in climate is due to several factors. The purpose of this book is to investigate some of the ethical, legal and social challenges raised by research biobanking in its different modern forms and formats. The issues raised by research biobanking in its modern form can be divided into four main clusters: how biological materials are entered into the bank; research biobanks as institutions; under what conditions researchers can access materials in the bank, and problems concerning ownership of biological materials and of intellectual property arising from such materials; and how the information is collected and stored, e.g. access-rights, disclosure, confidentiality, data security and data protection.

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
By Michael R. Bishop


* Publisher: Springer
* Number Of Pages: 592
* Publication Date: 2008-12-04
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0387785795
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780387785790

Product Description:
The field of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has undergone both evolutionary and dramatic changes over the past 25 years. This is evident by the fact that the term hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has effectively replaced the older term, bone marrow transplantation, due to the diverse source of hematopoietic cells that are employed for transplantation. Some of the most significant advances in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation have occurred in the past decade, as our understanding of stem cell biology, hematopoiesis, and immunology have increased. Alternative sources of stem cells, including those from unrelated donors and cord blood, the utilization of less toxic non-myeloablative and reduced-intensity conditioning regimens prior to transplant, and significantly improved supportive care measures have made hematopoietic stem cell transplantation available to greater numbers of patients. At the same time there have been parallel advances in the treatments of malignancy, which has significantly altered the indications and the role of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in these diseases, most notably chronic myelogenous leukemia. This book reviews pertinent aspects of both autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantation and our current understanding of transplantation biology including T cell and natural killer cell biology, HLA expression, and post-transplant immune reconstitution. It reviews the current clinical indications for the diseases that hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is most commonly utilized. Additional chapters cover the most recent translational research which will affect our future understanding and practice of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 144190087X
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781441900876

Product Description:
Autism was once thought of as a rare condition, until the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network released the statistic that about 1 in every 150 eight-year-old children in various areas across the United States is afflicted by an autism spectrum disorder, or ASD. This news led to a dramatic expansion of research into autism spectrum disorders and to the emergence of applied behavior analysis (ABA) as the preferred method of treatment, even among prescribing practitioners.

Applied Behavioral Analysis for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders ably synthesizes research data and trends with best-practice interventions into a comprehensive, state-of-the-art resource. Within its chapters, leading experts review current ABA literature in depth; identify interventions most relevant to children across the autism spectrum; and discuss potential developments in these core areas:

Assessment methods, from functional assessment to single case research designs.
Treatment methods, including reinforcement, replacement behaviors, and other effective strategies.
The role of the differential diagnosis in ABA treatment planning.
Specific deficit areas: communication, social skills, stereotypies/rituals.
Target behaviors, such as self-injury, aggression, adaptive and self-help problems.
ASD-related training concerns, including maintenance and transition issues, and parent training programs.
This volume is a vital resource for researchers, graduate students, and professionals in clinical child and school psychology as well as the related fields of education and mental health.
