Offers a system based approach covering a broad range of topics in general medicine for dental practice. The book includes chapters on history taking and patient interview, general physical examination, system specific examination, common health related complaints, systemic infections, and diseases of the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, immunological, renal, endocrinal, dermatological and musculoskeletal systems. Nutritional disorders, psychiatric disorders, the female patient with menstrual, menopause and pregnancy related disorders, dental management of patients taking medications for systemic conditions and medical emergencies in dental practice have also been discussed in some detail.
Le syndrome de détresse respiratoire aiguë = Acute respiratory distress syndrome
Gives a large place to mechanical ventilation, in particular to its optimization and the interest of its various forms, such as non-invasive ventilation or high frequency oscillation. It also discusses, in a practical way, what imaging and the study of respiratory mechanics can bring to the practitioner in the field or to the intensive care unit.
Lapproccio e la gestione per processi in pneumologia = The process-based approach and management in pulmonology
The topics covered are highly relevant to the application of the methods and tools outlined in quality improvement programs. This is in an effort to enhance the specific skills of the pulmonologist, thus making him an effective and independent liaison with the relevant strategic management. With great sensitivity, the SIMeR (Italian Society of Respiratory Medicine) has chosen to sponsor this edition, the only one to date in the field of Pulmonology, whose contents are based on the proposals and work of the leaders of one of its most recently established Study Groups, the "Continuous Quality Improvement in Pulmonology" Study Group.
La respirazione artificiale : Basi e pratica = The artificial respiration: Basi e pratica
Mechanical respiration is a procedure with an intensive medicine physician and specialized specialist in the discipline of general medicine if I must daily confront. The volume is described in detail and foundation of the clinical practice: starting from the basic anatomy and physiology of the mechanical respiration and the variety of forms of respiratory insufficiency. metodi alternativi and il management delle malattie specifiche dell'apparato respiratorio. We are here to discuss the latest technology for respiratory therapy and non-invasive mechanical respiration.
L’insuffisance rénale aiguë = Acute renal failure
The aim of this book is to make current data from the experimental and clinical literature accessible to readers. More than a thousand articles are published each year on the theme and the authors aim to synthesize this information. These data relate in particular to the identification of early markers of renal dysfunction without which screening, recognition of the main pathophysiological determinants and prevention remain uncertain. This book focuses attention on clinical situations characterized by the renal impact of the main dysfunctions of vital functions, the prognosis of which is worsened by the occurrence of this renal failure. The following will be treated in particular: the renal consequences of oxidative stress, the renal consequences of respiratory dysfunction, cardiac dysfunction, hepatic dysfunction, alterations in hemostasis, septic shock and hemorrhagic shock. Finally, the physiopathological data from experimental models are gradually finding their echo in the clinical field, opening up therapeutic avenues whose recent evaluations will be analyzed.
Community pharmacy : symptoms, diagnosis and treatment
Support pharmacists in identifying, diagnosing, treating or referring the illnesses and conditions they will commonly encounter in the community. A logical structure covers the full range of common presentations, including respiratory, ear, eye, gastroenterological and skin conditions. Clear pictures, referral criteria and summaries of treatment options support clinical reasoning, differential diagnosis and selection of appropriate products. Suitable for both pharmacy students and qualified pharmacists, the sixth edition has been fully updated to align with changes to the pharmacy curriculum and the rapidly expanding scope of pharmacists working in primary care and community pharmacy.
Breathing, feeding, and neuroprotection
New findings in brain research are being revealed on an almost daily basis, and the focus of this book is the fields of breathing, neuroprotection, and higher brain functions. An unresolved issue within respiration research and hence a topic of much interest is Where and how respiratory rhythm is generated in the brainstem, detailed analysis of which is presented herein. Chapters on neuroprotection examine the functional significance of the blood – brain barrier as an interface of blood and the central nervous system; other chapters look at health and disease in relation to the hypothalamic and limbic systems. In addition to animal experiments, research on the human brain is included, with a focus on the recently developed EEG/dipole tracing method. This book will be an invaluable reference for researchers in neuroscience and related fields.
Bioenergetics : Energy conservation and conversion
The present book addresses fundamental questions of biological energy transformation and conservation, with a focus on those processes which can now be understood on a structural basis.Current knowledge of selected examples of the biological energy conservation machinery such as cellular oxygen respiration, light-driven energy converters, and fermentation is reviewed. The machinery is highly variable, particularly that within microorganisms, but all of these devices universally rely on one unique underlying physico-chemical principle. The book is a rich source for specialists interested in recent developments in bioenergetics research and novices in the field alike.
Atlas de pathologie thoracique = Atlas of thoracic pathology
This book, devoted primarily to chest imaging, is divided into three main parts. The first brings together all the information to understand the formation and interpretation of images of the thorax, whether normal or pathological, and thus to avoid as many misinterpretations as possible. The second studies the different thoracic radioanatomical syndromes. It allows the pulmonologist, faced with a certain type of image, to relate it to the underlying anatomical compartment damaged and then to consider all the possible etiologies. The third part, on the other hand, recapitulates all the radiological aspects likely to be encountered in each of the pathologies considered.
Antibiotic prescribing pattern for patients with community-acquired pneumonia in Syrian hospitals
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The clinical presentation of CAP varies, ranging from mild pneumonia characterized by fever and productive cough to severe pneumonia characterized by respiratory distress and sepsis.Antibiotics are essential for CAP treatment, whereas inappropriate use of antibiotics might lead to increase in resistant bacteria and treatment failure
Analysis file of drug-induced lung injury : expert opinion for analysis of big data
Describes the pathologic conditions of drug-induced lung injuries, monitoring strategies, and guides on how to interpret the evidence. It also dives into particular drugs that caused the disorder, such as EGFR inhibitors, anti-EGFR antibodies, mTOR inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, neoangiogenesis inhibitors, and other molecular targeted drugs. It outlines the analysis and interpretation of the post-marketing survey on surveillance of each drug for inducing pulmonary lesions presenting diffuse haziness. The data and analysis from this survey are valuable since a guideline is yet to be established due to limited clinical evidence and cases. As new drugs are developed, establishing treatment and event management is crucial.
Anafilassi in pediatria = Anaphylaxis in pediatrics
Anaphylaxis is defined as an immediate systemic reaction due to the rapid IgE mediated release of potent mediators from tissue mast cells and peripheral blood basophils and represents a generalized clinical condition that includes skin, respiratory, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal signs and symptoms. It includes various clinical pictures, which derive from the association of symptoms such as urticaria, angioedema, vomiting, diarrhea, asthma, dyspnoea, edema of the glottis, hypotension, shock, etc., not always easy to identify, which however require a timely and correct diagnostic approach. .
Anaesthesia, pain, intensive care and emergency medicine - A.P.I.C.E. ; Proceedings of the 19 th Postgraduate Course in Critical Care Medicine. Trieste, Italy - November 12-15, 2004
APICE 2004 has been organised to provide precise answers to these issues. In particular, considerable emphasis has been given to the reviews regarding the most important aspects - or the most significant clinical developments - in the sectors involving variety of functions: neurological, respiratory and cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, metabolism and perfusion; trauma infections, sepsis and organ failure; perioperative medicine and life support techniques; information technology dedicated to clinical medicine, but also as a means of information and education.
Allergic rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis is a very common disorder that affects people of all ages, peaking in the teenage years. It is frequently ignored, underdiagnosed, misdiagnosed, and mistreated, which not only is detrimental to health but also has societal costs. Although allergic rhinitis is not a serious illness, it is clinically relevant because it underlies many complications, is a major risk factor for poor asthma control, and affects quality of life and productivity at work or school. Management of allergic rhinitis is best when directed by guidelines. A diagnostic trial of a pharmacotherapeutic agent could be started in people with clinically identified allergic rhinitis; however, to confirm the diagnosis, specific IgE reactivity needs to be recorded.
Adverse Food Reaction
Adverse food reaction is a broad term indicating a link between an ingestion of a food and an abnormal response. Adverse reactions to foods, aside from those considered toxic, are caused by a particular individual intolerance towards commonly tolerated foods. Intolerance derived from an immunological mechanism is referred to as Food Allergy, the non-immunological form is called Food Intolerance. IgE-mediated food allergy is the most common and dangerous type of adverse food reaction. It is initiated by an impairment of normal Oral Tolerance to food in predisposed individuals (atopic). Food allergy produces respiratory, gastrointestinal, cutaneous and cardiovascular symptoms but often generalized, life-threatening symptoms manifest at a rapid rate-anaphylactic shock.
