Download or read book Interventional Bronchoscopy written by Christoph T. Bolliger and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2000 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers all aspects of diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy, which go beyond the techniques of inspection, simple lavage and biopsies of the tracheobronchial tree. In a first section, historical aspects as well as the modern use of both rigid and flexible instruments, the set-up of a bronchoscopy unit, anaesthetic techniques, and functional evaluation for patients undergoing interventional bronchoscopy are discussed. A diagnostic section on transbronchial needle aspiration and bronchoscopic ultrasound is followed by extensive coverage of all existing therapeutic techniques: foreign body removal, laser resection, electrocautery, argon plasma coagulation, cryotherapy, brachytherapy, photodynamic therapy, stenting, and a chapter on multi-modality treatment of advanced pulmonary malignancies. A fourth section deals with percutaneous image-guided procedures, percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy, and transtracheal oxygen therapy. The last section provides an in-depth look at emerging bronchoscopic technology, such as autofluorescence, virtual bronchoscopy, and gene therapy. Written by the world's leading authorities in the field and beautifully illustrated, this book presents the state of the art of interventional bronchoscopy. It is recommended reading for pulmonologists, thoracic or ENT surgeons, oncologists and physicians who take an interest in bronchoscopy.
Download or read book Diagnostic and Therapeutic Flexible Bronchoscopy written by KP Wang and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1995-09-06 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bronchoscopy is well-established as an essential diagnostic procedure in lung disease. However, its role in therapy is more recent and controversial and not covered in existing texts. This comprehensive textbook will cover all aspects of rigid and fiberoptic bronchoscopy, from technique and applied pathology to treatment of lung cancer with lasers or local radiation. All diagnostic and therapeutic options, including lasers, stents and brachytherapy, are included, with indications for particular diseases. Obviously lung cancer is an important part of this but other new procedures have been developed for benign but disabling lung disease.

Chapters then explore specific procedures and techniques, including medical thoracoscopy, flexible and rigid bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound, and electromagnetical navigation with coverage of history, indications and contraindications, and up-to-date evidence-based reviews. In recent years there have been many advances in interventional pulmonology, the most significant relating to lung cancer early diagnosis and late-stage treatment. Two new chapters on lung cancer epidemiologic changes and personalized lung cancer treatment explore new methods for maximizing patient care for an increasingly prevalent disease. This inclusive volume concludes with a look towards the future of interventional pulmonology and experimental techniques currently being tested. Interventions in Pulmonary Medicine, Second Edition, is a must have for pulmonologists, endoscopists, pulmonary oncologists, ENT physicians, thoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists, and intensive care specialists and their teams.
Download or read book Practical Aspects of Urinary Incontinence written by Frans M. J. Debruyne and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urinary incontinence is becoming an increasingly dominant condition in daily urological and gynaecological practice, although the total number of patients suffering from the different forms ofincontinence remains unclear. An estimated figure for The Netherlands, with a population of 14 500000, has been given as between 500000 and 600000 patients, showing that approximately 4 % of the total population suffer from this condition, the majority being female. The impact ofthis number is tremendous, not only regarding health care costs, but even more with regard to the psycho-social consequences. It is obvious that continuing efforts must be made to under stand more fully the different forms of urinary incontinence. An exact diagnosis is the first step necessary for adequate therapy. We all know how disastrous it can be to institute inappropriate treatment as a consequence of misunderstanding the proper aetiology in each individual case. What has happened in the past 15 years? During that time we have developed sophisticated machinery to diagnose in more detail the exact ori gin of each type of urinary incontinence, and on entering a urodynamic laboratory, one is struck by the complexity of measuring equipment. But how reliable are all these measurements and how can they be translated into an effective therapy? This still remains one ofthe major problems, although continuing progress has been made and will be made by the research work of many experts in the field of urinary incontinence.
Download or read book Clinical Aspects of Renovascular Hypertension written by R. van Schilfgaarde and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diagnostic and therapeutic methods and controversies in the management of renovascular hypertension have undergone major ch- ges during the past few years. This book is based on the proceedings of a successful postgraduate Boerhaave Course held in 1982 at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Leiden, The Netherlands. Current concepts concerning the diagnosis and treatment of reno vascular hypertension were presented during this course to an audience composed of physicians, nephrologists, cardiologists, surgeons, uro logists, and radiologists. Thus, this book aims at offering an overview of tho,se aspects of renovascular hypertension which are relevant to clinical pr- tice. An effort is made to review the currently available moda lities of diagnostic procedures, both on the basis of modern in sights in the pathology and pathophysiology of renovascular hyper tension, as well as timely r'esul ts of clinical research. In ad dition, several chapters deal with combinations of these di- nostic procedures in a fashion that can be of practical help in clin;cal decision making. The medical, surgical and angioplastic modalities of treatment are reviewed. Basic considerations concerning medical treatment and technical aspects of surgical as well as per cutaneous angioplasty are presented in detail, both separately and in combination. Special attention is given to the problem of renal artery stenosjs in k~dney transplants. This book offers up to date information on clinical aspects of renovascular hypertension, useful to a wide range of clinicians in a variety of disciplines.
Download or read book Thoracic Endoscopy written by Michael J. Simoff and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by some of the world's leading practitioners - and pioneers - in the field, Thoracic Endoscopy is the first up-to-the-minute, expert reference for clinicians with a solid foundation in diagnostic bronchoscopy and chest medicine needing to extend their clinical expertise in response to two decades of rapid development. Thoracic Endoscopy covers four key areas of practice: advanced diagnostic bronchoscopy the latest techniques for interventional bronchoscopy — including the traditional rigid bronchoscopy techniques, ablative instruments and stents — and a discussion of endobronchial lung reduction and gene therapy a window to the pleura, covering the field of pleuroscopy and the advances in diagnosis and treatment clinical problems and methodologies, and strategies for solving them using interventional techniques Thoracic Endoscopy presents the only coherent guide to the full range of techniques and practice patterns, and is the essential reference for both experienced interventional pulmonologists and students beginning to practice in this rapidly-developing field.
Download or read book Disordered Defaecation written by H.G. Gooszen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a unique work devoted to the subject of disordered defaecation. It contains chapters written by experts in the field of ano-rectal physiology and management of disordered defaecation. The various contributions present personal views and special clinical experience of individuals. There are some personal views which we felt should be commented upon and a few areas where the experience of others has been included into the text. For the sake of completeness of each chapter, a slight overlap in some cases was inevitable. We hope the book will serve as a useful collection of opinions on a subject which until recently has been largely ignored by the medical profession.

Download or read book Progress in Surgery of the Liver Pancreas and Biliary System written by S. Bengmark and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects a broad spectrum of current opinions and progress in the surgical management of liver, pancreatic and biliary disease. The enormous advances in diagnostic imaging techniques and in interven tional, radiological and biliary approaches, the pathophysiological problems and their management manifest often as complications in the post-operative period, new techniques and the results of surgical approaches are all thorough ly documented. Historical background is commented upon by Dr. Kenneth Warren of Boston in the first chapter. Subsequent chapters deal with a variety of subjects but always emphasizing differences of opinion and approach and maintaining the discussive environment so typical to the present-day approach to the topic. Professor Bengmark's efforts to introduce a forum for wide discussion for diseases of the liver, pancreas and biliary tract and many recent advances in research and technology to aspects of the clinical management and outcome of patients is well rewarded in this balanced publication. Advances in this field of surgery have been and continue to be so rapid that such documentation is not only necessary but very welcome.
Download or read book Organ Transplantation 1990 written by G.M. Abouna and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is based on a very successful meeting on organ transplantation that was held in Kuwait in 1990 under the auspices of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation. An international group of organ transplant experts attended this conference and their contributions and deliberations have been recent1y updated to produce this definitive and authoritative summary of current clinic al practice in organ transplantation. The initial chapters appropriately focus on the immunology of organ trans plantation with special emphasis on the initial events in the induction of alloreactivity, the mechanisms of rejection, and the potential for tolerance induction. A strong emphasis is placed on the diagnosis of rejection by cellular analysis. The section on immunosuppression deals with several new areas of clinical therapy. The section on renal transplantation is unique in several respects, the long-term results from various countries, including the Middle East, are summarized, the use of living unrelated donors and of ABO incom patible donors - all strategies to maximize organ availability - are presented.
