Aesthetic Surgery of the Abdominal Wall
We have come a long way since the days when abdominal wall contouring was p- formed by simple dermolipectomies, with no attention to diastasis correction and muscular reinforcement, and little regard for the final aesthetic result. Nowadays, an abdominoplasty may be indicated for even the most demanding of patients. Details such as placement of the incision and umbilicoplasty are meticulously planned so as to conceal undesirable scars. Since the advent of suction-assisted lipectomy, in as- ciation with a classical operation or as an isolated procedure, the plastic surgeon has become capable of remodeling the entire trunk, assuring removal of considerable amounts of adipose tissue.
Advances in Electromagnetic Fields in Living Systems ; Vol.4
Advances in Electromagnetic Fields in Living Systems , Volume 4 begins with fetal magnetocardiography (fMCG), a noninvasive method of detecting components of the magnetic field produced by the electrical activity of the fetal heart. FMCG is experiencing steady growth, and is expected to gain influence in diagnosing certain congenital fetal heart defects while at the same time providing optimal care for patients. FMCG provides a distinct signal, free of maternal cardiac interference, which can be detected throughout the last half of pregnancy.

Acquired Cystic Disease of the Kidney and Renal Cell Carcinoma : Complication of Long-Term Dialysis
I have been involved in the treatment of chronic renal insuf? new and unexpected pathological conditions have also appeared as complications of long-term dialysis. One of these involves polycystic changes and their malignant transformation in diseased kidneys. Since I have studied these polycystic changes and their malignant transformation for many years, I decided to compile the results of my work in a book. Such conditions of diseased kidneys pose serious problems, particularly in Japan, where renal transplantation is performed very infrequently compared with other countries, and a large number of patients are managed by dialysis over a long period.
Abord clinique en urologie = Clinical approach in urology
Seduced by the idea of commenting on the clinical experience they have acquired during their career, the authors have deliberately approached their specialty by describing the symptoms that give the chapters their titles. They nevertheless described the differential diagnoses, the diseases involved and the treatments. After a chapter devoted to the examination of the patient, including the detours of the interrogation, back pain or scrotal pain are analyzed. The authors then turned to voiding disorders and their causes. The peculiarities of hematuria, depending on their level of origin, are described and commented on. The semiology of tumor masses is carefully detailed and, conversely, the problem of prostate cancer screening by PSA is dealt with in a separate chapter. Erectile dysfunction and penile diseases are the last chapters. In the line of the “Clinical approach” collection, this manual is easy to consult thanks to a detailed index, easy to understand because it is written in clear language and, moreover, well illustrated (21 diagrams and 2 tables). In this little book, the authors have approached urology from a perspective close to how patients feel.
Abord clinique du malade âgé = Clinic Approach for the Elderly Patient
The general practitioner and the specialists are brought to examine a growing number of elderly or very old patients. Until now, they have hardly been prepared for this very special clinical approach where each symptom can relate to several causes, where the diseases are almost always multiple, symptomatic, or ready to reveal themselves by a complication, where a diagnosis can be. hide another, where a history - key to the diagnosis - may have been forgotten or concealed.
Abord clinique des malades de lalcool : En médecine générale = Clinical approach to patients with alcoholism : In general medicine
Les médecins généralistes sont destinataires d’un grand nombre d’informations sur l’alcool, son usage et ses conséquences pathologiques immédiates ou potentielles. Ces connaissances, émanant de médecins le plus souvent hospitaliers et spécialisés, ont conduit à des recommandations destinées à guider les médecins généralistes dans le repérage des malades de l’alcool et leur prise en charge thérapeutique. Cependant, la pertinence et l’applicabilité de la plupart de ces recommandations sont peu ou mal évaluées dans la pratique de la médecine générale. De ce fait, les médecins généralistes, parfois à l’encontre des recommandations, sont amenés à élaborer des concepts et des pratiques propres à leur clientèle et à leurs conditions de travail. L’originalité de ce livre vient de la confrontation des connaissances et des pratiques de deux médecins, soignant des malades de l’alcool dans des structures différentes.
A Study about Prevalence of Thalassemia Complications in Syrian Patients
Inherited haemoglobin disorders, including thalassemia and sickle-cell disease, are the most common monogenic diseases worldwide. Several clinical forms of α-thalassemia and β-thalassemia, including the co-inheritance of β-thalassemia with haemoglobin E resulting in haemoglobin E/β-thalassemia, have been described. The disease hallmarks include imbalance in the α/β-globin chain ratio, ineffective erythropoiesis, chronic hemolytic anemia, compensatory hemopoietin expansion, hypercoagulability, and increased intestinal iron absorption. The complications of iron overload, arising from transfusions that represent the basis of disease management in most patients with severe thalassemia. The mature Hb molecule is a tetramer composed of 2 a-globin and 2 b-globin polypeptides, which assemble, along with a heme prosthetic group, to form the complete molecule.

A Seat on the Aisle, Please! : The Essential Guide to Urinary Tract Problems in Women
In this concise, clearly written, and sympathetic new book, Elizabeth Kavaler suggests that a new approach to UT disorders is long overdue. One of the surprisingly small number of female urologists practicing in the U.S., Dr. Kavaler explains what these diseases are and what patients can do to get themselves diagnosed and treated properly. But more than that, she extends an expert, sympathetic, and skilled hand to those who’ve been distressed, isolated, and embarrassed for too long.
A History of Radionuclide Studies in the UK : 50th Anniversary of the British Nuclear Medicine Society
The British Nuclear Medicine Society celebrates its 50th Anniversary with this booklet, which reflects the research of many of the pioneers in the use of radionuclides for the diagnosis and therapy of human disease. Since 1949 there have been remarkable advances in radionuclide techniques and imaging equipment: from the first devices “home-made” in the many physics departments throughout the UK, to the sophisticated multimodality imagers now in everyday use in Nuclear Medicine. The BNMS has been instrumental in promoting the use of radionuclide techniques in the investigation of pathology by supporting and providing education, research and guidelines on the optimum use of radiation to help patients.
A History of Limb Amputation
This book traces humanity’s long experience of natural amputations due to congenital absence, disease, frostbite, toxins, domestic and wild animal trauma, and for non-medical reasons related to punitive, ritual, and legal actions, ultimately leading to the development of elective surgical amputation. While the evolution of surgical techniques forms a major chapter in the book, many ancillary problems are addressed including the control of hemorrhage and infection, the approach to pain relief, the development of suitable instruments and equipment, and the invention of prostheses, all suitably illuminated with case histories and relevant illustrations. In addition, alternative procedures designed to avoid amputation, increasingly important in the last two centuries, are debated, and factors associated with self-amputation in extremis, not rare according to press reports, are also examined. A separate chapter considers the philosophy and interpretations of society, patients, and surgeons faced with amputation, particularly before anesthesia.
A healthcare professionals training system
The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a type of examination often used in health sciences. It is designed to test clinical skill performance and competence in a range of skills. It is a practical, real-world approach to learning and assessment. Comprises a circuit of short (5-10 minutes) stations, in which each candidate is examined on a one-to-one basis with one or two impartial examiner(s) and patients who are either real or simulated (actors or electronic patient simulators). Each station has a different examiner; in comparison, the traditional method of clinical examination is when a candidate is assigned to an examiner for the entire examination.
