editore: Springer Verlag
pagine: 238
Over the last decade, studies have shown that physical exercise plays an important role in maintaining an individual's psycho-physical balance. In particular, it has been demonstrated that prolonged regular physical activity (now defined in scientific publications as chronic physical activity) helps to significantly reduce the incidence of neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases, which are often associated with ageing, while at the same time bolstering the immune system. Promoting physical activity therefore helps preventing today's major health challenges, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiorespiratory diseases, obesity, osteoporosis, arthritis, and cancer, thus leading to a reduction in healthcare costs and freeing up resources for future generations. The volume will be an essential reading for all health professionals and for residents in medicine and in health and physical exercise.

pagine: 310
Because of the relatively low incidence of involvement efforts to enhance the diagnosis and management of elbow pathology are not common. Nonetheless, because of a rapidly expanding knowledge base,both with regard to a more - fined understanding of elbow pathology, coupled with exciting and emerging approaches and options for management, it is appropriate and timely to - dress this deficiency in the orthopedic literature. This volume, therefore, was produced in order to provide current and relevant information with content that is drawn from a very well received symposium of the same name as this book and convened in Modena, Italy recently. As with the symposium, the s- cific goals of this text are to provide the most updated concepts in the m- agement of a full spectrum of elbow pathology. The content, therefore, is c- prehensive in nature,but with a focus on emerging options in the management of traumatic conditions as well as reconstructive options for the sequelae of trauma. These topics are covered in detail in the 31 chapters which comprise this text.
The focus of each chapter was specifically designed to address the topic in the most timely fashion and with less of an emphasis on the historical context and more focus on current thinking. The references documenting c- tent are intended to be efficient and focused. In addition, the popular and - propriate expectation of the orthopedic community of enhanced explanation of technique are featured in the appropriate chapters.
Manuale di accreditamento professionale per strutture diabetologiche
Gualtiero De Bigontina , Danilo Orlandini
editore: Springer Verlag
pagine: 90
La qualità intesa come "Total Quality Management" è un modo per attraversare un confine, per creare conoscenza, per rompere la corazza dell'autoreferenzialità e di quella visione individualistica del lavoro appresa durante gli studi universitari e consolidata dall'esercizio professionale. Il percorso dell'accreditamento professionale tra pari è lo strumento che la società scientifica Associazione Medici Diabetologi ha sviluppato e fornito ai diabetologi per facilitare la comprensione di modalità di guardare il mondo della sanità diverse da quelle che essi utilizzano abitualmente.
Danno vascolare e tromboemostasi: fisiopatologia e patologia clinica
Vincenzo Sica , Claudio Napoli
editore: Springer Verlag
pagine: 152
Quest'opera descrive alcuni meccanismi chiave dell'angiogenesi e le opportunità riguardanti lo sviluppo di nuove strategie in campo terapeutico. Il volume fornisce un quadro esaustivo della materia spaziando dall'embriologia dei vasi e del sistema emopoietico ai più avanzati approcci terapeutici, primo fra tutti quello che si basa sull'utilizzazione del sangue midollare autologo ad attività staminalica. Grande rilevanza viene inoltre attribuita alla patogenesi dei difetti dell'emostasi e della coagulazione, all'ipertensione arteriosa e ai difetti del quadro lipidico. L'opera si propone, pertanto, come efficace strumento di studio e di aggiornamento per gli studenti dei corsi di laurea o di specializzazione che annoverano tra le materie insegnate quelle dedicate alla trattazione del danno vascolare e della tromboemostasi, ma costituirà, senz'altro, anche uno strumento prezioso nella pratica quotidiana per angiologi, cardiologi e chirurghi vascolari, oltre che per diabetologi, gerontologi e patologi clinici.

A. Gullo
editore: Springer Verlag
pagine: 495
Developing sectors in the Intensive Care field - and in Critical Care Medicine in general - require specific levels of competence having a same common denominator: an in-depth knowledge of human pathophysiology. Although this volume presents plenty of topics in constant evolution, as witnessed by the collection of chapters compiled by several researchers, this edition includes, in particular, fields in which decision making at the patient's bedside prevails over theoretical argumentation. In other words, the first and foremost message this edition wants to provide, is for the reader to focus his/her attention on evidence-based medicine.

Natriuretic Peptides
The Hormones of the Heart
Aldo Clerico , Michele Emdin
editore: Springer Verlag
pagine: 184
The rapid knowledge in the field of neuro-humoral regulation of cardiovascular pathophysiology is changing the picture of current diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients. The emerging conceptual revolutionary idea is that heart acts not as a pump, merely, but as a "gland", that is as a regulator of circulatory homeostasis and salt-water balance. Cardiovascular pathophysiology has to be written, indeed, on this basis: this physiology textbook gives an up-to-date description of the complexity and novelty of actual knowledge, with all its potential clinical implications.

Advances in Diagnostic Imaging
The Value of Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound for Liver

e altri
editore: Springer Verlag
pagine: 64
In recent years, the imaging-based diagnosis of mass liver lesions has become increasingly complex due to the number and morphological variability of lesions that modern imaging techniques are currently able to display. If the sensitivity in detection has greatly increased, characterisation has remained difficult and represents a critical challenge for the clinician. The availability of blood-pool contrast agents for ultrasound (US), in particular second-generation US contrast agents based on perfluorocarbon- or sulfur-hexafluoride-filled microbubbles, and the development of contrast-specific software and technologies have opened up new perspectives both for the immediate characterisation of any mass lesion detected in the liver and for increasing the sensitivity of US in the detection of liver metastases. Taking into account the great impact of this new technology on clinical practice, the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) organised, in January 2004, in Rotterdam, a consensus meeting of experts in order to develop guidelines for the use of US contrast agents in the diagnosis of liver diseases . These guidelines, as well as discussions of further advances in the clinical application of contrast-enhanced harmonic US are presented in this book by an internationally renowned group of experts. The book represents provides an important starting point for clinical implementation of this new diagnostic procedure.
Benign Anorectal Diseases
Diagnosis with Endoanal and Endorectal Ultrasound and New Treatment Options
Giulio A. Santoro , Giuseppe Di Falco
editore: Springer Verlag
pagine: 424
New three-dimensional endoanal and endorectal ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance imaging techniques have given better insight into the complex anatomy of the pelvic floor and its pathologic modification in benign anorectal diseases. Obstetrical events leading to fecal incontinence in females, the relationship between fistulous tracks and the sphincter complex, and mechanisms of obstructed defecation syndrome can now be accurately evaluated, which is of fundamental importance for decision making. Thanks to improvements in the diagnosis of these disorders, new forms of treatment have been developed with better outcome for patients. This book is aimed at general and colorectal surgeons, radiologists, gastroenterologists and gynecologists with a special interest in this field. It is also relevant to everyone who wants to improve their understanding of the fundamental principles of pelvic floor disorders.
