Download or read book Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Orthopedic and Rheumatic disease in Adults written by Fabio Martino and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the major advances and technological updates in diagnostic ultrasound procedures, focusing on the principal technological aspects and multiple exam procedures for the pertinent anatomy, both under basal conditions and using Doppler techniques. It offers a comprehensive and precise evaluation of the ultrasound semiotics of the musculoskeletal apparatus, with descriptions of numerous rheumatic and orthopedic disease patterns. It also discusses in detail the vital role of ultrasound in monitoring chronic inflammatory joint disease during therapy, and brand-new highly sensitive Doppler techniques. In view of the tremendous impact of ultrasound-guided interventional procedures on the management of drug delivery in a musculoskeletal setting, the book also includes a chapter on the practical aspects of performing US-guided diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Providing outstanding diagrams, dynamic images and videos to guide readers, it is a valuable resource for radiologists and clinicians (rheumatologists, orthopedists, physiatrists and anesthesiologists) with different levels of experience — ranging from physicians in training to those who already perform US examinations and US-guided procedures.

Download or read book Oncologic Breast Surgery written by Carlo Mariotti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the most recent developments in oncologic breast surgery and takes full account of diagnostic, pathologic, and radiologic inputs. It is divided into three parts, the first of which discusses the premises underlying the modern surgical approach to breast cancer. The second part is devoted to what might be termed the conservative program, i.e., breast conservation and oncoplastic surgery, conservative mastectomy, and sentinel node biopsy and axillary dissection. The final part of the book covers different forms of surgery and other treatments in particular settings. Topics include plastic and reconstructive surgery, DCIS surgery, radio-guided surgery, adjuvant systemic therapy, intraoperative radiotherapy, and the role of surgery in locally advanced and metastatic disease. The detailed descriptions of techniques are accompanied by numerous high-quality illustrations. This book will be of value to both experienced practitioners and surgical trainees.
Download or read book Surgery in the Multimodal Management of Gastric Cancer written by Giovanni De Manzoni and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-04 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there has been a slow but steady decrease in incidence, gastric cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Several aspects of the oncological and surgical management are still controversial and so gastric cancer represents a challenge for the surgeon. This book aims to delineate the state of the art in the surgical and oncological treatment of gastric cancer, describing the new TNM staging system, the extent of visceral resection and lymphadenectomy focusing on the different open and minimally invasive surgical techniques and discussing intraoperative chemohyperthermia and neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment. Operative endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography are also discussed, as these now have an important role in both diagnostic work-up and palliative care of gastric cancer patients. Only a multidisciplinary approach involving the surgeon, gastroenterologist, and oncologist can produce the comprehensive and integrated overview that today constitutes a winning strategy for the optimization of results.What we hope we have achieved is a flexible, up-to-date, exhaustive publication, rich in illustrations and consistent with evidence-based medicine.

This volume presents the state of the art of surgery in the treatment of inflammatory and neoplastic pancreatic diseases, describing in detail the different approaches and their most relevant technical aspects. Also described are conventional and interventional radiology, operative endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography (which has recently acquired a diagnostic role), and adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy for treatment or palliation: for only a multidisciplinary approach can produce a global vision, a winning strategy for the optimization of results. Along with the texts, all written by experts, the volume includes color images and drawings. It will prove itself a very useful tool in clinical practice.
Download or read book The Neuroendocrine Immune Network in Ageing written by R.H. Straub and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-07-24 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book describes the mechanisms involved in the maintenance of neuroendocrine-immune interactions in ageing. The lack of this maintenance leads to the appearance of age-related diseases (cancer, infections, dementia) and subsequent disability. The capacity of some hormones or nutritional factors in restoring and remodelling the neuroendocrine-immune response during ageing is reported presenting possible new anti-ageing strategies in order to reach healthy ageing and longevity.
