Bipolar Affective Disorders
Etiology and Treatment
Heinz Grunze , Joerg Walden
editore: Thieme Publishing Group
pagine: 88
Bipolar disorder has increasingly become a main focus of interest in psychiatry. This is reflected by the obvious success of the 1st edition of this book by Walden and Grunze. Due to both the scientific and therapeutic progress it appears now necessary to have this revised version of the book. Concerning therapeutic concepts major progress has been made with the introduction of new antiepileptic drugs such as lamotrigine and atypical antipsychotics to the treatment portfolio of bipolar disorder. But also the scientific evaluation of psychotherapies as cognitive behavioural therapy and psychoeducation constitutes a substantial progress. It becomes clear that modern treatment concepts should integrate both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment modalities. However, despite the rapid increase of knowledge this book is still designed to be a quick reference on the causes and treatment of bipolar disorder, and I hope that it will be a useful tool for the daily clinical practice.

Cranial Neuroimaging and Clinical Neuroanatomy
Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Computed Tomography
Hans-Joachim Kretscmann , Wolfgang Weinrich
editore: Thieme Publishing Group
pagine: 451
In the ten years since publication of the second edition, the diagnostic information provided by new imaging methods (CT, MRI, PET, US) has improved significantly. Clinicians and specialists must master three-dimensional neuroanatomy of the head in order to localize and interpret pathological symptoms and findings. As in the previous editions, the drawings presented here depict anatomic structures in shades of gray similar to the way they are seen in CT and MR images. All drawings of the atlas portion of the book have been made from cadaver sections. This book is designed as a practical tool. The illustrations of the neurofunctional systems as they are localized in the tomographic planes are meant to orient the reader as to their localization in CT, MR and PET images. They also make it possible to extrapolate the clinical symptoms which correlate to the pathological CT and MR findings. The new, third edition includes both T1 and T2 weighted MR images, as well as enhanced detail throughout.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Liver Disease
Technical Approach, Diagnostic Imaging of Liver Neoplasms, Focus on a New Superparamagnetic Contrast Agent

editore: Thieme Publishing Group
pagine: 312
Early and accurate diagnosis forms the basis for appropriate and successful treatment of patients with liver tumours. Pre- and post-therapeutic imaging techniques, such as ultrasound, CT, and MRI imaging - unenhanced as well as contrast-enhanced - are used to detect liver tumours and differentiate between malignant and benign lesions. Once a lesion is detected, the ratio of involved versus non-involved liver segments must be assessed. Preoperative imaging in patients with hepatocellular carcinomas and liver metastases directly influences further therapeutic considerations, e.g., resection, liver transplantation, or regional therapeutic procedures, such as transcatheter arterial infusion therapy for arterial embolization, percutaneous ethanol instillation, chemotherapy, laser or radio frequency. Iron oxide-enhanced MRI as a non-invasive technique provides a high preoperative diagnostic efficacy for diagnosis of liver disorders. Superparamagnetic iron oxide particles are absorbed by the Kupffer cells of normal liver parenchyma and by tumors consisting of RES. This results in a signal change in MR images and various types of characteristic features of tissues.
Resovist is a new iron oxide contrast agent that can be applied via intravenous bolus injection. It allows dynamic iron oxide-enhanced imaging for the first time. In this book, both the basic principles and the latest results in the use of contrast-enhanced MRI of the liver are presented. This work will allow the reader to understand and use superparamagnetic contrast agents for evaluating various diseases of the liver.
Essentials of Septorhinoplasty
Eugene M. Tardy , Hans Behrbohm
editore: Thieme Publishing Group
pagine: 248
In the past, functional and aesthetic nasal surgery had developed separately from each other, so that both ENT and plastic surgeons were often not able to exhaust the full potential of nasal surgery. In modern nasal surgery, form and function of the nose are two inseparable aspects, because functional and aesthetic problems usually occur in combination. This is the first book that deals with the dual character of complex nasal surgery, i.e. it equally covers both the functional and aesthetic aspects of septorhinoplasty. The three main areas of complex nasal surgery are surgery of the septum, the different approaches in rhinoplasty, and endoscopic microsurgery. These are all covered, as well as aspects of endoscopic sinus surgery and postoperative treatment with topical corticosteroids. Key points include: - First book that deals with both the functional and aesthetic aspects of complex nasal surgery - Description of operative techniques by internationally famous experts - Precise step-by-step descriptions of operative techniques - Before and after illustrations to help plan procedures - Highest standard of illustrative material

pagine: 211
The future of breast diagnosis MRI is a high-resolution, noninvasive diagnostic tool that is becoming increasingly important in the emotionally charged field of breast diagnosis. Nevertheless, only a relative handful of centers offer this modality, which: - Combines high reproducibility with patient comfort - Can exclude invasive carcinomas as small as 5 mm with a high degree of confidence - Can resolve contradictions among clinical findings, conventional mammographic findings, and percutaneous biopsy From one of the leading centers in MR mammography comes this handsome, practice-oriented teaching atlas that does much more than present pictorial information. Written for radiologists in advanced training or continuing education, it contains more than 500 illustrations that offer clear answers to the questions: When should I use MR mammography? Numerous sample indications (e.g., equivocal overall findings, preoperative staging, follow-up), MR-assisted interventions, implant evaluation, etc. How do I conduct the examination? Informed consent, patient preparation, patient positioning, equipment settings, clear instructions on timing, conduct, and protocols.
How do I make an accurate diagnosis? Interpretive criteria with typical contrast enhancement patterns and signal characteristics, evaluation protocols, pitfalls and artifacts, sample images correlated with four-color histology, and direct comparison of conventional mammograms and breast ultrasound.
