Perineal and Anal Sphincter Trauma : Diagnosis and Clinical Management
Perineal and Anal Sphincter Trauma is a comprehensive text that focuses on the maternal morbidity associated with childbirth. In recognition of the longstanding global diversity in obstetric practice and the management of its sequelae, the authors have compiled the ultimate evidence-based book that includes the diagnosis, pathophysiology, management and prevention of obstetric trauma. Previous surveys have indicated that the majority of doctors and midwives have suboptimal training in anatomy and repair of perineal and anal sphincter trauma. This book addresses these deficiencies by providing a step-by- step approach in the understanding of perineal anatomy and provides tips on how to make an accurate diagnosis and classifiy perineal trauma. The dilemmas surrounding repair techniques and management of subsequent pregnancies are fully debated and preventative strategies are highlighted. Chapters on female genital mutilation, the management of faecal incontinence and medicolegal issues are also included.

Oral health care: an important issue of the modern society
Oral health care is an issue of modern society that is sometimes difficult to manage. Considered a key indicator of global health, well-being, and quality of life, oral health’s relationship with general health is of utmost importance. As such, maintenance of oral health should be a lifelong commitment as well as a daily priority. This book includes twenty chapters that focus on different aspects of oral health issues, including prevention, treatment, and management.
Oral Health and Herbal Medicine
Oral health loss is one of the major problems existing all over the world and is one of the top causes of death when unmanaged. The oral cavity is home to numerous pathogenic microorganisms, some of which are responsible for the progression and development of various systemic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and myocardial infarction. Worldwide, 60–90% of school children and nearly 100% of adults have dental cavities, often leading to pain and discomfort. There are implications for the global economy as well, due to the continuous burden of investing resources to maintain oral hygiene. Not surprisingly, developing countries are disproportionally affected. There is thus an urgent need to develop economical solutions for the treatment of oral diseases.
Oral Health and Aging

Discussing recent initiatives to emphasize oral health promotion and prevention, the book describes improvements in pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches for special populations in geriatrics and illuminates the role of barriers to oral health care for older people. Divided into three sections, the book first explores aging and oral health, including age-related changes, epidemiology, nutrition, dysphagia, aspiration pneumonia, xerostomia and hyposalivation, management of periodontal disease and caries, systemic diseases that influence oral health, and considerations for chronic orofacial pain. The second section illuminates the ways in which frailty and other geriatric syndromes influence oral health care in older adults with a special focus on frailty, dementia, delirium and depression, and the delivery of oral health care to vulnerable geriatric populations in long-term care, home care, palliative care, and hospice.
