Handbook of DepressionDepression is a common mood disorder that af-fects approximately 10% of the global population at some point in their lives and can cause serious psychological, physical, and cognitive distress. Ad-ditionally, patients with depression are at a greater risk for cardiovascular disease, stroke, functional impairment, disability and all-cause mortality. Aside from the impact on the individual, this condition presents a very real economic burden, as depression is the most predominant mental health problem among working-age patients and the leading cause of lost work productivity. Despite advances in screening and treating depression in recent decades, a vast majority of patients with depression do not actively seek treatment and, of those that do, only a quarter have been found to receive adequate and effective interventions.

Features 7 A clinically focused synopsis of pharmacologi-cal, somatic, and nonpharmacological therapies, assessment tools, and management methods for depression 7 A concise synopsis of key international guidelines and major clinical trials to allow clinicians to quickly gain an understanding of major recent developments in recognizing and treating depression 7 Expertly written text helps prepares clinicians to tailor treatment strategies to the individual patient, promoting greater clinical outcomes and quality of life

Community CardiologyCardiac problems are often chronic in nature and affect our ever aging population. This requires long-term care for our underserved communities. In the “Heartland of America” patients are often unable or unwilling to leave their community set-ting to reach the Cardiologist. Placement of Cardi-ologists in the community is critical for appropri-ate diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner. The practical didactic format is designed to deliver information at the time of need to cardiology practitioners. With the use of diagrams, figures, and schematics this reference will be essential for community cardiology procedures, policy, and patient care.

Towards a Psychosomatic Conception of HypochondriaThe Impeded Thought

A rigorous and groundbreaking study. Mar-tine Derzelle is the first researcher to approach hypochondria as a relational pathology. Martine Derzelle is the first researcher to approach hy-pochondria as a relational pathology. The author tackles a subject that has puzzled care profession-als for decades: hypochondria. Martine Der-zelle confronts all specialists (psychotherapists, psychiatrists, doctors, psychosomaticians) with the paradox of this pathology and the theoretical void on which the approach to those patients who express a suffering of various kinds has stood for more than a century. In the first part, the author highlights the lack of theoretical elaboration on hypochondria in the existent literature; in the second part, on the basis of clinical examples, she analyzes the nature of the disease, and then offers a completely innovative theoretical elaboration.

Features 7 The first book focused on the clinical and theoretical aspects of hypochondria 7 Provides a possibility of therapeutic measures 7 A new approach to hypochondria based on general epis-temology, Freudian epistemology, and on a new conceptualization centered around the "deadlock"

Contents Questions.- Problems.- Problem Definition.- Negative Reports or “a Certain Discourse Used in a Certain Way”.- From Biological Body to Metaphorical Body.- A New Starting Point.- Hy-pochondria, Projective Parenthesis.- A Different Relation to Oneself and to the Other Person.- To-wards a Psychosomatic Conception of Hypochon-dria.

Handbook of Migraine in AdultsDeriving its name from the Greek for “pain on one side of the head,” migraine is a chronic, debilitat-ing neurological disorder that causes severe head-ache pain, as well as visual disturbances, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine is thought to affect nearly 15% of the population, afflicting three times as many women as men and often cause severe disruption to patients lives. Despite the profound effects on daily living, a substantial proportion of suitable patients do not receive therapy or take preventative measures, leading to ongoing unnecessary suffering. Hand-book of migraine in adults will be a clinically-fo-cused, evidence-based handbook that will give an overview of the condition and provide insight into best-practice assessment, diagnosis and treatment of migraine, including major clinical guidelines and investigative drugs.

Features 7 Concise overview of migraine in adults, includ-ing diagnostic tools, clinical assessment approach-es and pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies, all written by a leading key opinion leader 7 Easily accessible content that highlights major clinical developments and guidelines via full color images and tables, including assessment scales and treatment algorithms 7 An essential professional reference tool that is ideal for trainees and practicing clinicians in neurology and general practice

Pediatric Cardiology and PulmonologyA Practically Painless Review

Often, information in review books can raise as many questions as it answers. This interferes with the study process, because the learner must either look up additional information or skip ahead without truly comprehending what he or she has read. As an alternative, Pediatric Cardiology and Pulmonology: A Practically Painless Review presents bite-size chunks of information that can be read and processed rapidly, helping learners to stay active while studying and to pick up new information the first time they read it. This book’s question and answer format allows for self-testing or study with a partner or a group. The format also facilitates dipping into the book during a few minutes of downtime at the hospital or office. Pediatric Cardiology and Pulmonology: A Practi-cally Painless Review is a quick and easy way to master these tricky topics and is suitable for those studying for the pediatric board exam, practicing physicians brushing up their skills, and any busy clinician who wants to learn more about these top-ics while on the go.

Features 7 Hundreds of review questions and an-swers 7 Helpful for board exam review or casual self-testing on unfamiliar topics 7 Easy-to-digest, bite-size bits of information

Male AlopeciaGuide to Successful Management

This monograph provides specialists and primary care physicians who are interested in hair with the practical know-how needed to achieve successful management of male alopecia. Guidance is first provided on the examination of hair loss in men, covering such aspects as clinical examination, the role of trichoscopy and the trichogram, labora-tory work-up and scalp biopsy. Diagnosis and treatment are then described in depth for a diverse range of conditions involving alopecia. Expert opinion is combined with the results of evidence-based medicine to provide the best current advice, highlighting the synergistic action of combination regimens and adjuvant treatments and explaining the concept of multitargeted treatment. All aspects of follow-up are covered, including compliance issues and expectation management. The role of hair care and cosmetics is also considered, with identification of potential adverse effects as well as benefits.

Features 7 Provides the practical know-how needed to manage male alopecia successfully 7 Describes the diagnostic approach and treatment options for a wide range of conditions involving alope-cia 7 Explains follow-up and addresses compli-ance issues
