"Problem Solving in Rheumatology" joins this growing series. Co-authored by Lee Kennedy who wrote "Problem Solving in Diabetes", this will be an important contribution in an important and fast moving clinical area. Each clinical case will highlight how recent developments in clinical and pharmaceutical research have had key impact on the practice of rheumatology. More than 50 cases covering all the major areas of rheumatic disorders will be included, eg., rheumatoid arthritis, gout, joint replacement surgery, diet, pain management, carpel tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, tennis elbow, osteoporosis, ankyklosing spondylitis, infections and tumours to name but a few. In style of the series, each case will be accompanied by introductory questions, a few key references and a management algorithm. The practice of rheumatology is constantly changing with new ways to manage disorders. It should be a popular book, reflecting up-to-date practice. This is a practical and up-to-date book that will be a useful addition to the doctor's library.

Il concetto di libido è essenziale per comprendere la costruzione teorica e terapeutica di Freud. Il volume ne analizza l'evoluzione nella storia della psicoanalisi, legandolo al pensiero e alla filosofia antica, chiarendone il ruolo fondamentale di strumento interpretativo del nostro comportamento quotidiano, del nostro modo di reagire ai bisogni e alle mancanze che caratterizzano l'esistenza umana, di elemento capace di guidare tutte le manifestazioni dell'eros.

Retrieval Medicine is a core, concise and practical text covering the complex clinical and logistical problems experienced in the retrieval environment. Focusing on evidence-based management and clear clinical guidance, this easily portable handbook provides a comprehensive and accessible guide to this growing field for all health professionals involved in the retrieval and transfer of critically ill patients. Covering the practice of acute, emergency and critical care medicine in the transport environment, this handbook provides the practical guidance and clinical knowledge to enable medical practitioners to function independently in highly variable and resource limited environments with acutely unwell, unstable and often clinically undifferentiated patients over long durations. Closely mapped to the Royal College of Surgeons syllabus on retrieval and transfer medicine, this title comprehensively covers all aspects of retrieval medicine, from basic flight physiology to more complex retrievals and common pitfalls. Authored by an authoritative, international team of expert editors and specialist authors, this clinically focused text is complemented by a range of checklists and reference tools for practical and accessible use in the field. These deliver core information for use in the primary retrieval setting, allowing the retreivalist to structure their approach to a crisis and correct the problem with suggested interventions. Topics include retrieval systems and coordination, crisis resource management, shock, and a range of chapters focusing on responding to specific areas of medicine when encountered in the retrieval environment, such as cardiology and obstetrics and gynaecology.

One of a series of books in the series of "Problem Solving", this book presents a comprehensive case load of patient disorders seen by the general practitioner and endocrinologist. At the beginning of each case are a few practical questions to stimulate the reader. This is then followed by clinical presentation and the reader is led through the logical work-up to reach a diagnosis. An algorithm accompanies most cases to provide a pictorial quick overview of the clinical steps. References are key but kept to a minimum. Each of the major areas of endocrinology are covered: thyroid, adrenal gland, pituitary, reproduction, growth and development, calcium and bone, endocrine hypertension, water, electroytes and glucose. The authors also conclude with a section on therapeutic aspects. The chief author, Professor Lee Kennedy, is a British expatriate, now in a leading clinical role in Australia. Lee has experience in numerous clinical areas and is involved with teaching medical students.

First published in 1992, Fundamentals of Psychiatric Treatment Planning outlines an approach that quickly became the definitive standard for writing treatment plans. Developed by clinical psychiatrist James A. Kennedy, this practical, intuitive method organizes psychiatric problems into seven categories: psychological impairment, social skills, violence, activities of daily living, substance abuse, medical impairment, and ancillary impairment. Treatment plans are developed using information gathered with the Kennedy Axis V, an instrument that has proven more successful than both the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scale and the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) in establishing baselines and determining outcome measures. Fundamentals of Psychiatric Treatment Planning serves as a powerful, highly effective tool that -Promotes a cohesive approach. By using a consistent approach to planning, the clinical team works in concert toward uniform goals and outcomes. -Helps staff gather critical information to improve outcomes. For establishing baselines and determining outcome measures, the Kennedy Axis V instrument has proven more successful than both the GAF and the BPRS. -Includes many examples to help staff write their own plans. Rich with real-life examples to guide staff, including problem names and descriptions, treatment modalities, and samples of individual plans for each of the seven problem categories. In addition to the Kennedy Axis V questionnaire, Fundamentals of Psychiatric Treatment Planning includes blank forms for treatment planning and tabbed sections to allow for quick reference. New features in the second edition include the integration of nursing care plans into master treatment plans, new systematic steps for building goals and modalities, refinements to the questionnaire, and the introduction of online support via the authorAs website. With its readily adaptable, uniform approach to a complex subject, Fundamentals of Psychiatric Treatment Planning, Second Edition, is a powerful, highly effective planning tool for all members of the clinical staff.

The evidence base in diabetes is accumulating rapidly. Prevalence of diabetes is increasing globally, and it is increasingly managed by multi-disciplinary teams working across primary and secondary care. Health professionals working in diabetes need to keep up to date with recent developments. There has also been a boom in both the primary and secondary literature of diabetes. Textbooks and monographs abound which summarize the classic characteristics of the "typical" diabetes patient. Meanwhile the doctor treating individuals needs current information to enable him/ her to solve real life and everyday problems in the field. "Problem Solving in Diabetes" does just that. The authors have drawn on their clinical experience backed up by wide critical reading in the current primary literature to identify 50 problems and their solutions. Each case covers presentation, options, and an evidence-based management plan. This book will be an invaluable reference source to doctors in their everyday practice dealing with the specific problems of individual patients.
