Volume grande formato (22 x 28) di 408 pagine, 620 immagini, numerose tabelle, stampato su carta speciale e rilegato con copertina in brossura stampata a colori e plastificata.Anche se in questo libro ci concentriamo sulle “nozioni fondamentali” (cosa che è sempre stata il nostro obiettivo), i princìpi di base continuano a cambiare e ad evolversi, insieme ai progressi nelle tecniche di tomografia computerizzata (TC), al miglioramento della nostra comprensione delle malattie e ai cambiamenti nella pratica medica e nella valutazione delle patologie. Questa nuova edizione ci offre l’opportunità di aggiornare temi importanti e di aggiungere nuovo materiale, comprese numerose immagini moderne di alta qualità.La Parte I, sul torace, comprende aggiornamenti sulla classificazione dell’adenocarcinoma, sullo screening TC del cancro polmonare (usando il sistema di refertazione e dati noto come Lung-RADS [lung reporting and data system]), sulla stadiazione del tumore polmonare e sulla classificazione e diagnosi delle pneumointerstiziopatie con l’utilizzo della TC ad alta risoluzione.Le aggiunte alla Parte 2, sull’addome, includono una revisione del sistema di refertazione e dati relativi all’imaging del fegato, noto come Li-RADS (liver imaging reporting and data system), per il carcinoma epatocellulare, e revisioni della classificazione di Atlanta della pancreatite acuta, la classificazione rivista e corretta delle neoplasie cistiche del pancreas, e una migliore descrizione dei reperti TC dei sottotipi istologici del carcinoma a cellule renali.Nella Parte 3, sul sistema muscolo-scheletrico, è stato posto un accento sulla diagnosi di anomalie, spesso incidentali, rilevate su scansioni TC del torace e dell’addome ottenute per indicazioni non muscolo-scheletriche. La quasi mezza dozzina di anni trascorsi da quando è stata pubblicata la terza edizione ha assistito a continui progressi nelle tecniche di TC spirale, o elicoidale. In questa edizione rivedremo i vari protocolli di indagine TC spirale correntemente utilizzati nella pratica clinica per la diagnosi delle anomalie toraciche, addominali e muscolo-scheletriche, comprese discussioni sulla TC ad alta risoluzione, sulla valutazione dei noduli polmonari e sullo screening del cancro del polmone, sulla diagnosi TC di embolia polmonare, sull’entero-TC, sull’enteroclisi (o enteroclisma) TC, sulla colonscopia virtuale TC e sull’ottimizzazione delle tecniche TC nella diagnosi delle anomalie muscolo-scheletriche. A tutti i capitoli sono stati aggiunti nuovi argomenti, discussioni su altre malattie (troppo numerose per citarle qui) e nuove immagini, comprese descrizioni e illustrazioni aggiornate dell’anatomia normale e dei reperti incidentali. Le classificazioni delle malattie, incluse quelle per l’adenocarcinoma polmonare, per le malattie polmonari diffuse e per le lesioni pancreatiche, sono state aggiornate laddove appropriato. Ci auguriamo che possiate trarre piacere e profitto dai nostri sforzi.

Immaginiamo di vivere prigionieri in una caverna: come sosteneva Platone, scambieremmo per oggetti reali le ombre bidimensionali proiettate sulla parete della caverna. Tuttavia, osservando attentamente le ombre, i fisici che si trovassero tra i prigionieri potrebbero elaborare delle teorie su come i corpi si muovono e interagiscono nel loro mondo bidimensionale. Per quanto difficile da concepire, alcuni di loro potrebbero avanzare l'ipotesi che esista una sottostante realtà tridimensionale: forse, però, verrebbero derisi e scherniti per le loro idee così stravaganti. Questo libro di Stephen Webb parla delle audaci idee della fisica contemporanea e delle ragioni per cui un gruppo di persone assennate, competenti e dotate di intelligenza superiore ritiene possibile che tali idee siano vere. Le idee in questione hanno le loro radici nella fisica delle particelle, mattoni elementari di cui l'universo è costituito, e si estendono fino alle congetture sulle condizioni che si verificarono nei primissimi istanti dopo il big bang. Queste idee fantasiose, profonde e bellissime potranno un giorno essere sottoposte a verifica sperimentale: molte di esse si riveleranno sbagliate, ma per altre verranno fornite delle prove che ci consentiranno di scoprire di cos'è fatto l'universo, come ha avuto inizio e quale potrebbe essere il suo destino.

Based on the successful format of AO courses, this two-volume reference is a comprehensive manual for the latest AO spine techniques. Principles and Techniques begins with a complete review of basic science concepts, helping the reader understand the biomechanics, biology, and the surgical anatomy of the spine. This volume provides a systematic overview of spinal instrumentation, computer-assisted surgery, and anesthesia considerations. Clinical Applications presents a compilation of clinical cases addressing the most common spinal problems, such as spinal trauma, tumors, infections, inflammatory processes, deformities, degenerative spinal diseases, and metabolic bone disease. For each case, the book guides the reader from case presentation, through rationale for surgical treatment, and to non-operative treatment options. The authors describe potential complications in spine surgery and outcomes. Throughout both volumes, high-quality photographs and drawings illustrate surgical techniques step-by-step and demonstrate key concepts of management. Clear, easy-to-reference bulleted lists and shaded text boxes facilitate rapid review of important learning points. An accompanying DVD-ROM with video clips from live surgery symposia and practical exercises also enhance the reader's learning experience.

Structural heart disease (SHD) is a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Therapeutic interventions for these disorders have evolved from a small number of procedures to an impressive array of new approaches to diseases that have been traditionally managed by surgery and medical therapy. "Structural Heart Disease Interventions" collects and refines the latest advances in the discipline - from established to emerging tools and techniques - providing clinicians and all members of the care team with a practical, comprehensive, clinically relevant summary of the discipline. The manual's emphasis on minimally invasive procedures allows for shorter healing times and improved outcomes. Clinically essential information is presented in five convenient sections: Core Knowledge in SHD Intervention; Specialized Skills for the Interventionalist/Surgeon; Closure of Congenital and Acquired Defects in Adults; Transcatheter Therapy for Valvular Disease; and Additional Specialized SHD Interventions. This practical resource includes: abundant, high quality images present anatomical complexities and diversity; interactive 3-D graphics use the latest technology to guide critical interventions; global perspectives from expert contributors detail the latest tools and techniques; concise, practical presentation emphasizes the most clinically relevant information; coverage of transcatheter mitral valve repair helps readers perfect their technique; companion website with full text and interactive PDF's on Aortic Stenosis, Atrial Septal Defect, and Left Atrial Appendage; and chapter on how to establish and credential a SHD program helps promote best practices.

This highly acclaimed book deals with all the key kidney, ureter and bladder problems likely to be encountered by the non-specialist paediatrician and paediatric nephrologist. The book adopts an evidence-based, problem solving approach and focuses on presenting clinical symptoms rather than being disease orientated. Emphasis is placed on differential diagnosis, evaluation and treatment. Where no evidence is available or where controversy exists, a clear opinion on the most appropriate treatment is provided. For this completely revised and updated edition over half of the text is revised. New chapters have been added on psychosocial care principles, drug prescribing in children and paediatric nephrology in the third world. Certain chapters have been condensed for clarity and other chapters have been combined to facilitate practical use. This edition is based around practical guidelines and contributions have been collected from international experts in the field. The chapters contain key point boxes highlighting the important take-home messages. The well-structured text is ideal for trainee and non-specialist paediatricians, for paediatric nephrologists and for nephrologists and urologists with an interest in children. This book is undoubtedly regarded as 'the' paediatric nephrology textbook to be held on the shelves of all general paediatric departmental libraries.
