Libri di Diane E. Spicer

As a leading reference on pediatric cardiology and congenital heart disease, Anderson's Pediatric Cardiology provides exhaustive coverage of pediatric cardiovascular anomalies, sequelae related to these anomalies, comorbidities and neurodevelopmental problems, and current methods for management and treatment. The newly streamlined 5th Edition addresses significant and ongoing changes in practice, including recent developments in fetal, neonatal, and adult congenital heart conditions. The outstanding illustration program provides superb visual guidance and is supplemented with a remarkable collection of more than 350 professionally curated images and videos, many new to this edition. According to Anderson’s Pediatric Cardiology, 5th edition editors, Tretter, et al: “Textbooks continue to serve as essential central repositories of knowledge for postgraduate education in paediatric cardiology, despite the widespread availability of digital learning tools. Recent studies confirm that trainees still value textbooks for their structure, depth, and accessibility, while also requesting improved pedagogy and organization.” Offers authoritative, long-term coverage of a broad spectrum of cardiology conditions, including congenital heart disease, adult congenital heart disease (ACHD), acquired heart disease, cardiomyopathies, and rhythm disturbances Features a newly streamlined format better incorporating the developmental and anatomical building blocks into clinical diagnosis and management, including diagnostic and management algorithms for quick reference guides. Learning Objectives and Chapter Summary Tables are also included Includes exquisite specimen images by Dr. Robert Anderson and Diane Spicer, dissected in easily recognizable analogous imaging planes. These are included in the over 850 anatomic, photographic, imaging, and algorithmic figures, and incorporate new images using virtual dissections of 3D datasets obtained in living patients. These images are complimented by new specimen demonstration videos by Diane Spicer Features improved organization and new content for the trainee and practicing provider, including new chapters on Physiology, The Pulmonary Circulation, Genetics, History and Physical Exam (with new high-quality auscultation audio files), Cardiac Intensive Care Unit and Mechanical Ventilation, Basic Principles of Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Surgery, and Development and Anatomy of the Conduction System and Pathways of Abnormal Conduction Contains chapters on emerging topics including Three-Dimensional Reconstruction, Advanced Visualization, and Extended Reality, Global Burden of Pediatric Heart Disease and Health Equity, and Quantifying the Fetal Circulation in Congenital Cardiac Disease Shares the experience and knowledge of an international team of multidisciplinary experts in congenital and pediatric cardiac care An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date

Pathologists have long recognized that pediatric autopsy requires great care in technique and dissection to ensure that easily overlooked malformations are recognized and accurate diagnoses are made. The highly experienced authors have created a new edition of Handbook of Pediatric Autopsy Pathology, a comprehensive reference guide to the actual performance of the pediatric autopsy and the optimal recognition and interpretation of pathologic findings. The Handbook of Pediatric Autopsy Pathology, Second Edition covers the spectrum of pediatric pathology with particular reference to those conditions that can be identified at autopsy. New and updated material includes microbiological studies, particularly with the advent of newly described micro-organisms causing disease. The volume also addresses new developments in metabolic diseases, new techniques of ultrasound imaging, and specialized laboratory testing. Furthermore, the book provides a wealth of practical information and bibliographic citations throughout, new copious illustrations and line drawings, numerous standard reference tables, and appendices at the end of multiple chapters. Authored by authorities in the field, Handbook of Pediatric Autopsy Pathology, Second Edition is a valuable resource that will assist general and pediatric pathologists, neonatologists, interns and residents in training, as well as specialists in cytogenetics and ultrasound technicians in understanding the manner and cause of death in its broadest and comprehensive sense.

The revised fourth edition of this classic textbook on cardiac anatomy written from the stance of the cardiac surgeon features many new images, including computed tomography angiography. The provision of multiple high quality surgical and pathological photographs makes it essential reading for cardiac surgeons, and of great value to cardiologists, surgical pathologists, radiologists and anaesthetists. The book will also be a valuable reference resource for any healthcare professional or researcher who needs to understand detailed cardiac anatomy. The book begins by describing the surgical approaches to the heart. It goes on to discuss the normal surgical anatomy of the cardiac chambers, the valves, and the systems for circulation and conduction within the heart. This provides the essential anatomical information required to assess and interpret the malformations, lesions and abnormalities discussed in the remainder of the book.
