Hypermobility Syndrome
Diagnosis and Management for Physiotherapists
Rodney Grahame , Rosemary J. Keer
editore: Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd
pagine: 188
Following a brief description of the historical and genetic background of the condition, HMS is described in relation to other connective tissue disorders, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, the Marfan Syndrome etc. The hypermobility syndrome is distinct from hypermobility (as in one joint only), which most physiotherapists are familiar with, and this difference will be explored. Hypermobility, is something people are born with, but it does not necessarily produce symptoms. It is present in between 5-15 percent of the population. Many of these will suffer symptoms at some stage in their life. It may occur in childhood, adolescence, adulthood, pregnancy or old age. Each of these stages is covered in the book, with detailed information on the presentation of the condition and its management. There are contributions from a variety of medical practitioners experienced in this field: Consultant Rheumatologist, Professor R Grahame, Consultant Paediatrician, Dr K Murray, GP, Dr E Mansi, several physiotherapists, who specialise in different areas; Rosemary Keer (adults), Alison Middleditch (adolescents), Vicky Harding (Chronic pain), Jane Simmonds (Rehabilitation) & Sue Maillard (paediatric).
There will also be a contribution from Sarah Gurley-Green, past Chairperson to the Hypermobility Syndrome association.
Managing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Primary Care
A Practical Guide
Steven Levene
editore: Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd
pagine: 146
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasing. Patients with this disease are prone to devastating complications, many of which can be prevented or reduced by appropriate interventions in primary care. With quality high on the governments agenda and the current staged publication of a National Service Framework (NSF) for diabetes, primary health care teams will be expected to playing a leading role in the delivery of high quality care; particularly as secondary care will not be able to cope with this workload. Improved quality of care should be attainable in diabetes, based upon implementing agreed and justified protocols in combination with audit to evaluate performance and guide future changes. This title will provide primary health care teams with relevant and up-to-date guidance on how to improve the care that they provide to their patients with diabetes. This encompasses both clinical and organisational information, and includes the NSFs standards, and guidance provided by National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE).
The author of this title works full-time in primary care, as part of team that delivers diabetic care, and therefore understands and has addressed the particular needs of all the members of the team, based upon his own experiences.
