Cardiac Imaging in ElectrophysiologyCardiac arrhythmias are a major cause of death (7 million cases annually worldwide; 400,000 in the U.S. alone) and disability. Yet, a noninvasive imaging modality to identify patients at risk, provide accurate diagnosis and guide therapy is not yet available in clinical practice. Nevertheless, there are various applications of electrophysiologic imaging in humans from ECG/CT reconstruc-tions, MRI to tissue Doppler investigations that provide supplimentary diagnostic data to the cardiologist. EP laboratories are experiencing an increase in volume, for both diagnostic and interventional electrophysiology studies, including mapping, ablation, and pacemaker implants. The equipment requirements for these procedures are stringent, include positioning capabilities, and dose management.

Feature 7 Details all of the current imaging methodo-logies designed to assist in the electrophysiology department Written by experts from around the world in the field of Cardiac Imaging A clear and concise review of the topic

Pain in WomenA Clinical Guide

Pain is a complex experience, influenced by many variables. There is currently growing interest in the influence of sex and gender on the experience of pain. The fact that there are sex differences in pain and analgesia is now a well-recognized phenome-non within the field of pain medicine. Howe-ver, the specific mechanisms underlying these differences remain somewhat poorly understood. Traditionally, these sex differences in pain experi-ence have been attributed largely to psychological, behavioral, and socio-cultural variables -- in particular, a perceived greater willingness on the part of women to report painful symptoms and seek medical attention.

Features 7 Breaks new ground in outlining the breadth of issues related to pain mechanisms and pain treat-ment in women 7 Details the range of neurohor-monal factors underlying pain pathways in women and clarifies potential treatment options based on these factors. 7 Addresses all of the common pain disorders common in women

Ecohealth Research in PracticeInnovative Applications of an Ecosystem Approach to Health

This book is about doing innovative research to achieve sustainable and equitable change in people’s health and well-being through improved interactions with the environment. It presents experiences from the field of ecosystem ap-proaches to health (or ecohealth research) and some insights and lessons learned. It builds on previous literature, notably Forget (1997), Forget and Lebel (2001), Lebel (2003), and Waltner-Toews et al. (2008). Through case-studies and other contributions by researchers supported by Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the book presents evidence of real changes in conditions of people, their health, and the ecosystems that support them. These changes were derived from applications of an ecosystem approach to health in developing regions of the world. The book also illustrates the resulting body of applied, participatory, and action research that improved health and environmental management in developing countries and, in many cases, influ-enced policies and practices.

Features 7 Ecohealth is an emerging, multidisciplinary, and expanding field of research, practice, and policymaking around the world 7 Features case studies from around the world with synthetic analysis of the research 7 Demonstrates how ecohealth research has led to sustained improve-ments in both human and ecosystem health

Modified Inferior TurbinoplastyA new surgical approach

Humans can resist 40 days without eating and 4 days without drinking, but only 4 minutes without breathing: this tells us much about its fundamental importance. Breathed air is slowed down, filtered, warmed and humidified by the nose; many me-chanisms are involved in this act, which prevent bronchial tubes and pulmonary alveolus from re-ceiving an excessive and sudden air load. It is well known, on the other hand, that breathing through the mouth causes a lot of problems: inflammatory diseases of the upper airways, sleep apnea syndro-me, but also, in some cases, bronchial, pulmonary and even cardiac disorders, that are more easily affecting patients not able to breathe correctly through the nose. For this reason, restoring an efficient nasal function is a very important - and in some cases crucial - issue.

Features 7 Presents in detail an effective operative tech-nique for inferior turbinate hypertrophy 7 Will help to solve a knotty problem in nasal surge-ry 7 Explains the clear advantages over current procedures, including avoidance of relapse

Technology Enabled Knowledge Translation for eHealthPrinciples and Practice

Rapid progress in health research has led to gene-ration of new knowledge and innovative practices in management of illness. This has resulted in a significant challenge for health professionals: if today we discovered a new therapy through research, when will this discovery be regularly prescribed or utilized to treat all patients suffering from this condition? Knowledge translation is the non-linear and often complicated process of translating knowledge into routine health practi-ces. Technology enabled knowledge translation (TEKT) is the use of information and communi-cation technologies (ICT) to accelerate knowledge translation. With the ubiquity of the internet, the proliferation of different approaches in commu-nication and social networking, and the conti-nuously improving technologies from netbooks to smartphones, there are rich opportunities for TEKT in health education, service delivery, and research.

Features 7 Covers electronic health records, personal health records, telehealth, and other data reposito-ries 7 Includes over 30 examples of TEKT in ac-tion to demonstrate how ICT can improve service delivery, education, capacity building, and policy translation 7 Looks at future research directions, and how TEKT can be the knowledge engine that propels ehealth forward

Differential Diagnosis for the DermatologistWhen faced with a challenging dermatologic problem, physicians are often required to perform a time-consuming search through large derma-tologic texts in order to find information that will assist in the necessary differential diagnosis. This comprehensive and concise handbook is designed to simplify this process dramatically, permitting rapid identification of the correct diagnosis. Hundreds of dermatologic diagnoses, morphologic features, drug-induced disorders, extracutaneous manifestations, histologic findings, and random other findings are listed in alphabeti-cal order and in a homogeneous, reader-friendly structure. The differential diagnoses are shown under each main diagnosis, sorted according to si-milarity with that diagnosis. Since the first edition, approaching 50 new diagnoses have been added, and many new images included.

Handbook of AnthropometryPhysical Measures of Human Form in Health and Disease

Although its underlying concept is a relatively simple one—the measurement of the human body and its parts—anthropometry employs a myriad of methods and instruments, and is useful for a va-riety of purposes, from understanding the impact of disease on individuals to tracking changes in populations over time. The first interdisciplinary reference on the subject, the Handbook of Anth-ropometry brings this wide-ranging field together: basic theory and highly specialized topics in normal and abnormal anthropometry in terms of health, disease prevention, and intervention. Over 140 self-contained chapters cover up-to-date indices, the latest studies on computerized methods, shape-capturing systems, and bioelectri-cal impedance, data concerning single tissues and whole-body variables, and reports from different areas of the world. Chapters feature helpful charts and illustrations, cross-references to related chap-ters are included, and key points are presented in bullet form for ease of comprehension. Together, the Handbook’s thirteen sections entail all major aspects of anthropometrical practice and research, including: Tools and techniques.

Features 7 Authors are national and international experts from leading institutions 7 Experienced editor from one of the foremost health divisions and hos-pitals in the UK 7 Each chapter includes applica-tions to other areas of health and disease; practical methods and techniques, summary points, and/or key features 7 Everything you need to know about normal and abnormal anthropometry in health and disease

Errors in RadiologyDiagnostic errors are important in all branches of medicine because they are an indication of poor patient care. As the number of malpractice cases continues to grow, radiologists will become increasingly involved in litigation. The aetiology of radiological error is multi-factorial. This book focuses on (1) some medico-legal aspects inherent to radiology (radiation exposure related to ima-ging procedures and malpractice issues related to contrast media administration are discussed in detail) and on (2) the spectrum of diagnostic er-rors in radiology. Communication issues between the radiologists and physicians and between the radiologists and patients are also presented. Every radiologist should understand the sources of error in diagnostic radiology as well as the elements of negligence that form the basis of malpractice litigation.

Features 7 The main reason for studying medical errors is to try to prevent them 7 A radiology safety culture will only exist when the radiologist who made the error views such feedback positively as a learning experience 7 Identification and re-duction of diagnostic error provides a measure of the efficacy of the healthcare system, as it reduces mortality, morbidity and additional healthcare costs

50th Anniversary of the German Society for Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care MedicineThis book presents to all those who are interes-ted in the history of Anaesthesiology historical details and information on the development of anaesthesiology in Germany and the remarkable growth of our Society. At the founding session of the German Society of Anaesthesia in Munich on 10 April 1953 42 persons had signed the founding documents. Today about 12,000 anaesthetists are members of the German Society of Anaesthesio-logy and Intensive Care Medicine, making the DGAI the biggest national society within ESA. Well known are the pioneering contributions of German scientists and surgeons to the develop-ment of general, regional and local anaesthesia during the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. But less known outside Germany are the reasons for the delayed evolution of anaesthesiolo-gy as a specialty of its own in German medicine, far later than in the UK, Scandinavia or the USA. In this book you will find answers to this question and detailed information on the successful evolu-tion of anaesthesiology especially at the Faculties of Medicine at German universities.

Intra-Operative Neuropathology for the Non-NeuropathologistA Case-Based Approach

This volume acquaints the non-neuropathologist with the advantages of clinical-radiologic-patho-logic correlation in neuropathology specimens, particularly in the intra-operative consultation. As a good cytology preparation can add to, or even supply in isolation, a diagnosis, this volume covers the enormous and sometimes insurmountable artifacts involved with freezing tissue, especially central nervous system tissue. The text presents how to perform, and stain the cytologic prepara-tions, and how to interpret them. The advantages and disadvantages of both frozen sections and cytologic preparations of various kinds are dis-cussed. The presentation and format is very visual with diagrams, tables, with many figures including pearls and pitfalls and therefore easy reading.

Features 7 Extensive correlation of scans, cytology, frozen section with differential diagnosis 7 Case-based approach 7 Neuroradiology chapter authored by a neuroradiologist
