editore: Wiley-Blackwell (an imprint of John Wiley & Sons Ltd)
pagine: 144
Hormonal therapy offers a potentially powerful approach to thetreatment of sexual disorders in men. However the interplay ofdifferent hormones within different bodily systems is carefullybalanced; judicious judgement is required in the therapeutic use ofhormones to minimize unwelcome side effects. A better understanding of how hormones work will help thephysician to better tailor therapies for improved sexual responsesin men. "Hormonal Therapy for Male SexualDysfunction" will provide the rationale for hormonaltherapy in male sexual disorders, explaining the language of sexualendocrinology and its application in clinical practice.The aim of this book is to provide a clinical 'in theoffice' or 'at the bedside' guide to effectivepatient care for sexual medicine physicians, urologists, gynecologists and other health-care providers in practice and intraining. The tone will be practical, not academic. The workingassumption is that readers want to know what (and what not) mightor should be done, without over emphasis on the why. That said, itis important to review the crucial basic science necessary foreffective diagnosis and management, and to provide remindersin the context of the practical chapters.It will not be heavily referenced, in line with a morepractical approach. This allows for smoother reading (and alsorelieves the burden of comprehensive citing from authors). Keyevidence (clinical trials, Cochrane or other meta analyses) shouldbe summarized in 'Evidence at a Glance' boxes and keyreferences such as reviews, major papers can be provided in the'selected bibliography' at the end of each chapter. Practical guidance will be provided through: - the use of algorithms and guidelines where they areappropriate- 'Tips and Tricks' boxes - hints on improvingoutcomes perhaps via practical technique, patient questioningetc- 'Caution' warning boxes - hints on avoidingproblems, perhaps via contraindications- 'Science Revisited' - quick reminder of thebasic science principles necessary for understanding
Pharmacotherapy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Disorders
David R. Rosenberg , Samuel Gershon
editore: Wiley-Blackwell (an imprint of John Wiley & Sons Ltd)
pagine: 474
This book fulfills an urgent need for an updated text on pediatric psychopharmacology. It takes a unique approach in discussing recent findings within the context of current issues, including economic and political ones. The book covers the emerging question of treating children who do not yet meet diagnostic criteria for psychosis, e.g, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, but who are deemed to be at high risk. This is an active area of debate: such children are being treated in certain centers, while others reject this completely. The book addresses the antidepressant controversy, the placebo response and unique strategies for delineating this, and ways to optimize the differential between active medication and placebo. It reviews the impact of recent American Heart Association guidelines for monitoring children on stimulants and other psychotropics. It adheres closely to DSM-IV diagnostic criteria throughout. The book describes the use of newly approved drugs such as Lexapro for treating adolescent depression and the novel compound Intuniv.
It covers the TADS and CAMS studies, which evaluated the use of SSRIs alone and in combination with cognitive behavioral therapy for adolescent depression. Other topics include treatment of bipolar disorders, the increasing popularity of generic equivalents, combination pharmacotherapy and the potential dangers of psychotropic medications. This is the third edition of the first ever book published on pediatric psychopharmacology from renowned editors. It incorporates current developments with regard to SSRIs, their indications and their safety issues, including possible associated suicidal behavior. It addresses concerns about cardiovascular side effects of the new stimulant medications available, and compares to other FDA-approved medications for ADHD. It features many tables, figures and pictorials, making it highly accessible and reader friendly.
