editore: Hodder Arnold

pagine: 1024

Textbook of Palliative Medicine provides an alternative, truly international approach to this rapidly growing specialty. This textbook fills a niche with its evidence-based, multi-professional approach and global perspective ensured by the international team of editors and contributing authors. In the absence of an international curriculum for the study of palliative medicine, this textbook provides essential guidance for those both embarking upon a career in palliative medicine or already established in the field, and the structure and content have been constructed very much with this in mind. With an emphasis on providing a service anywhere in the world, including the important issue of palliative care in the developing nations, Textbook of Palliative Medicine offers a genuine alternative to the narrative approach of its competitors, and is an ideal complement to them. It is essential reading for all palliative care physicians in training and in practice, as well as palliative care nurses and other health professionals in the palliative care team.

Topics in Palliative Care

Eduardo Bruera , Russell K. Portenoy

editore: Oxford University Press Inc

pagine: 344

The rapidly evolving field of Palliative Care focuses on the management of phenomena that produce discomfort and that undermine the quality of life of patients with incurable medical disorders. The interdisciplinary clinical purview includes those factors - physical, psychological, social, and spiritual - that contribute to suffering, undermine the quality of life, and prevent a death with comfort and dignity. Palliative Care is a fundamental part of clinical practice, the "parallel universe" to therapies directed at cure or prolongation of life. All clinicians who treat patients with chronic life threatening diseases are engaged in palliative care, continually attempting to manage complex symptomatology and functional disturbances. The scientific foundation of palliative care is advancing, and similarly, methods are needed to highlight, for practioners at the bedside, the findings of empirical research. Topics in Palliative Care Series is divided into sections that address a range of issues. Addressing aspects of sumptom control, psyshocsoical functioning, spiritual or existential concerns, ethics, and other topics, the chapters in each section review the given area and focus on a small number of salient issues for analysis. The authors present and evaluate existing data, provide a context drawn from clinical and research settings, and integrate knowledge in a manner that is both practical and readable. The specific topics covered in Volume 5 are Cultural issues in Palliative Care, Palliative Care in Geriatrics, Communication Issues in Palliative Care, Outcomes Research in Palliative Care, Opiod Tolerance; Reality of Myth?, and Pain and other symptoms: Treatment Challenges.

Cure palliative pediatriche: la gestione del dolore

a cura di S. Baroncini

editore: Editori Vari

pagine: 404

In particolare, in ambito pediatrico, il controllo del dolore richiede un approccio scientifico ma al tempo stesso personalizzato per rispondere ai bisogni specifici dei bambini di età differenti e con patologie di svariata natura e complessità. Garantire la qualità della vita, obiettivo primario delle cure palliative, richiede che tutti coloro che si prendono cura del bambino e della sua famiglia siano consapevoli della necessità di mantenere attiva e aggiornata la cultura del dolore, diffondendola per non negare opportunità terapeutiche, farmacologiche e non farmacologiche, limitando così la sofferenza legata all'esperienza della malattia cronico-degenerativa. Questo volume può essere un valido strumento di approfondimento e aggiornamento non solo per tutti coloro che operano nell'ambito delle cure palliative pediatriche, ma anche per i professionisti di altri settori che si impegnano quotidianamente per contrastare la sofferenza inutile dei bambini.
