Download or read book A Case Based Approach to Interventional Pulmonology A Focus on Asian Perspectives written by Jamalul Azizi Abdul Rahaman and published by Bentham Science Publishers. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Case-Based Approach to Interventional Pulmonology: A Focus on Asian Perspectives focuses on various aspects of Interventional Pulmonology (IP) based on clinical case scenarios. Today, evidence-based medicine and statistics are ruling our daily practice. Thus, each case is unique regardless of what the theory predicts. This asian perspective of Interventional Pulmonology (IP) is also of great importance, given the differences in the etiologies compared to other regions of the world. Asia being the leading region in terms of population and the high incidence of certain airway and lung diseases, is an amazing source for fundamental and clinical research. The contents of the book have been divided into four different sections with a primary aim of case-based scenarios and solutions. Section A consists of diagnostic IP procedures like linear and radial EBUS, navigation bronchoscopy, bronchoscopic lung cryobiopsy (BLC) and cone beam CT. Section B focuses on therapeutic rigid bronchoscopic procedures. Besides airway stenting and laser bronchoscopy, this discusses recent interventions such as bronchial thermoplasty, bronchoscopic lung volume reduction, 3D printing and microwave ablation. Section C is dedicated to pleural procedures focusing on indwelling pleural catheters (IPC) and fibrinolytics. Section D is dedicated to common paediatric IP procedures. Each case is presented with the history, including clinical, radiological, bronchoscopic/pleuroscopic findings and final outcomes. Many of these cases also have video illustrations. This book will be of great value to interventional pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, surgical oncologists, and interventional radiologists.
Download or read book Management of Lymphomas A Case Based Approach written by Jasmine Zain and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will provide an overview of how to manage patients with lymphoma in the format of a series of engaging case studies. Lymphomas are cancers that originate in the lymphatic system. There are two main types of lymphoma: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. These lymphomas comprise various subtypes with prognosis and treatment depending on the stage and type of the cancer. Lymphoma is a major global health problem; non-Hodgkin lymphoma in particular is the tenth most common type of cancer worldwide. In response to this there have been a number of significant advances in the available treatment options for lymphoma with new breakthrough drugs being approved or registered for approval. In light of this, this case study book will be an extremely timely guide for all hematologists, oncologists, and healthcare professionals wishing to keep up-to-date with these recent developments. The format of this book is also particularly appealing as it offer readers a practical approach to the clinical management of patients with these conditions as suggested by leading physicians from the City of Hope National Medical Center in California, USA in an era of vast therapeutic development.

Download or read book PET CT written by Peter S. Conti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-09-14 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few advances in medicine have had more of an impact on modern health care than the invention of PET-CT studies of FDG in the living human body and experimental animals. Biochemistry has been superimposed on anatomy, which is a giant leap forward. The expertise required for the interpretation of CT must now be combined with the expert interpretation of the biochemical information of the FDG study. The idea that the interpretation of the images simply requires the superimposition of the two image modalities is simple is clearly not true. What is needed is a clear und- standing of the sites of metabolic activity revealed by FDG studies in normal persons, and its variability from person to person. For example, FDG accumulates in various structures in the head and neck,and in the ovaries and uterus of normal women during certain phases of the menstrual cycle. The case method of teaching has stood the test of time for more than a hundred years and is still valid as new modalities are developed and introduced into medical practice. The authors,both of whom have considerable experience in the performance and interpretation of PET-CT studies with FDG, have made an important contri- tion that will be of great value to nuclear medicine physicians,radiologists,oncologists, and other physicians with the responsibility of caring for patients with cancer. Capabilities and limitations are discussed in the context of speci?c problems and patients.
