Cancer Diagnosis in Primary Care
Tim J. Peters , William Hamilton
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 208
The aim of the book is to inform primary care clinicians (including those in training) about the way cancer presents to primary care, and how they can select patients for investigation. One quarter of UK deaths are from cancer, and the large majority of these tumours initially present to primary care. Cancer diagnosis is difficult, both in identifying those who do need investigation, and those who don't. "Cancer Diagnosis in Primary Care" covers the major cancers in individual chapters. The book also includes chapters on screening, systemic symptoms (which may be present with a number of cancers), and the terms used in cancer epidemiology. A final section of 'case-studies' offers an important opportunity for teaching or self-assessment. Although based on a thorough knowledge of the subject, the book uses an ex-cathedra style rather than being peppered with references in a highly academic fashion. The facts are right, but the aim is to make it readable! The approach is firmly based on the primary care clinician's needs. The editors are academics in primary care, who are active researchers in the cancer field, and have a heavy involvement with the national cancer scene.

Stroke
Graeme J. Hankey
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 408
This is the second edition of a succinct, evidence-based source of answers to questions commonly asked by general practitioners about stroke (eg. definitions, epidemiology, causes, clinical features, investigations, management, outcome and secondary prevention). It is divided into sixteen chapters, each with a list of relevant key references for further reading. The first two chapters define what is meant by a stroke and the size of a problem for stroke patients, their carers and the community. Chapters 3-15 address, in turn, the five key questions that should be answered in the diagnosis and management of all stroke patients: Is it a stroke? Where is the stroke lesion? (i.e. which part of the brain and what arterial territory is affected?) (chapter 4). What is the cause of the stroke? (i.e. is it an infarct or haemorrhage, and what is the cause of the infarct or haemorrhage?) (chapters 6-8). What is the prognosis for survival and handicap? (chapter 9). What can be done to optimise patient outcome and prevent recurrant stroke? (chapters 10-15). Chapter 16 discusses stroke in special populations (e.g. children, pregnant women).
The book concludes with appendices providing information on stroke organisations (including postal and internet addresses) and medical websites.

Risk and Choice in Maternity Care
An International Perspective
Andrew Symon
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 192
There is an apparent paradox at play in contemporary western societies with an increased sense of risk-consciousness set against a growing demand for choice. The aim of this book is to illustrate the changing reality of risk management in maternity care and to highlight some of the difficulties encountered in offering or exercising choice. "Risk and Choice in Maternity Care" considers whether risk and choice are always as oppositional as they are sometimes portrayed. Risk management within healthcare is a complex and evolving subject and has developed considerably in recent years. The chapters in this book are written from the perspectives of different countries, including the UK, Ireland, Australia and the USA, and offer contrasting views on the approach to best practice, providing evidence-based care and giving women the freedom to choose. The issues raised are assessed in a concluding chapter that challenges the reader to identify how risk and choice considerations may be applied in clinical practice.
Cardiovascular Risk Management
W. Stephen Waring
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 160
For many years, individual cardiovascular risk factors have been dealt with in isolation, often by specialists with an interest in one particular risk factor, for example hypertension or hypercholesterolaemia. There has recently been a move to emphasize the importance of reducing global cardiovascular risk, which requires clinicians to address any one of a number of different risk factors. The interplay between these various factors is important in our understanding of development of cardiovascular disease and, similarly, the synergistic effects of targeting different risk factors is important in risk reduction.This text provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of modern cardiovascular risk management. It belongs to the "In Clinical Practice" series, which incorporate multiple illustrations using novel and effective formats. Data are frequently presented as bullet point lists or tables so that the key information is clearly available. The emphasis is on overall cardiovascular risk reduction throughout, with integration of lifestyle and pharmacological interventions.
