Year on year, there continue to be dramatic changes in endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) since it was first introduced 30 years ago. Advances in technology have meant that as well as being used in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders, EUS is now one of the primary diagnostic and therapeutic modalities used in GI endoscopy. Back and improved for a new edition, Endoscopic Ultrasonography is the market-leading book covering the topic. Written by leading experts in the field, it provides a technical how-to approach to learning this advanced endoscopic procedure. The highly-acclaimed authors provide step-by-step guidance to the fundamentals of EUS, giving clear instructions on the instruments involved, the correct sedation procedures to follow and how EUS should be performed safely and effectively. Every chapter discusses a specific aspect of EUS as it relates to a particular gastrointestinal disorder or organ system. Brand new to this edition are: 1) Seven new chapters on the hottest topics in EUS: Learning Anatomy for EUS; Elastography; Lung Cancer; Autoimmune Pancreatitis; EUS for Liver Disease; Biliary Access; Pancreatic Fluid Collection Drainage 2) A complete update of all previous chapters to reflect the most current clinical recommendations 3) A host of new color images in every chapter Endoscopic Ultrasonography 3rd edition is the ideal tool to consult to improve EUS skills and improve patient management, and an essential purchase for all gastroenterologists and endoscopists.

Uniquely organized by symptom rather than organ or pathology, Roger Sanders's Clinical Sonography, 5e, not only ensures mastery of the content and competencies required for diagnostic sonography, it teaches students to think critically and "sonographically" as they prepare for certification exams and clinical practice. In every chapter, students first encounter a diagnostic problem to be solved and then follow pathways of exploration that help them identify the cause of the original presenting symptom. Retaining its trademark concise, easy-to-understand writing style, consistent format, and clinical approach, the Fifth Edition is enhanced by a revised organization, new images and in-book learning tools, new content that reflects today's practice environment, and a revised art and design program designed to meet the needs of today's highly visual students.

Oggi è possibile effettuare blocchi di fascia (i nervi piccoli che si trovano tra i muscoli) con l'ausilio della guida ecografica sia in funzione della chirurgia addominale che della parete chirurgia toracica. Visualizzare con l'ecografo pleura, peritoneo e tutte le strutture addominali permette infatti di eseguire in sicurezza i blocchi della parete toracica e della parete addominale sia in sostituzione dell'anestesia generale (es. nella chirurgia della mammella) che in azione combinata a valenza analgesica. Anche nell'analgesia postoperatoria queste tecniche hanno dimostrato grande efficacia: garantiscono un recupero più rapido della funzionalità e un miglior controllo del dolore.

Fully master the basic principles and applications of abdominal ultrasound Praise for this book: This book appears to be a useful tool for different levels of users -- not just physicians. The topics provide information on best approaches for beginners while the illustrations better define acquisition data and may be helpful to individuals with more experience. The book would be useful for students and technologists in all disciplines and specialties to help understand sonographic imaging. -- Kathleen Drotar, Radiologic Technology, July/August, 2012 Designed to be kept close at hand during an actual ultrasound examination, Abdominal Ultrasound: Step by Step, Second Edition , provides the tools, techniques and training to increase your knowledge and confidence in interpreting ultrasound findings. Its clear, systematic approach shows you how to recognize all important ultrasound phenomena (especially misleading artifacts), locate and delineate the upper abdominal organs, explain suspicious findings, apply clinical correlations, and easily distinguish between normal and abnormal images. This second edition includes the new Sono Consultant, a systematic, two-part framework for helping the examiner evaluate specific ultrasound findings and make an informed differential diagnosis. In the first part, Ultrasound Findings, the examiner notes an abnormality at ultrasound, lists all findings, and suggests possible interpretations. In the second section, Clinical Presentation, the examiner starts off with a possible diagnosis (e.g. heart failure, splenomegaly) and then extracts the maximum possible information available on ultrasound to confirm, support, or differentiate the diagnosis. Features: * More than 670 ultrasound images and 240 drawings that enhance the text *3-D diagrams that depict complex anatomical structures and spatial relationships * Clear and concise learning units for easy mastery of material Providing a logical, structured foundation for performing a successful ultrasound examination, this practice-oriented teaching guide is essential for all students and residents building their skills in ultrasonography.

Using a flip-card format, this compact guide provides protocols that take the guesswork out of image documentation. These comprehensive protocols follow the imaging guidelines of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) and include a universal method for documenting any type of pathology. Examples of the required images for the physician's diagnostic interpretation are included. Documentation specifics are provided for full and limited abdominal studies, gynecological and obstetric exams, and prostate evaluations. Also provided are protocols for small parts, vascular system, and echocardiography.

Dopo 9 anni dall'uscita del primo manuale su "La velocimetria Doppler in medicina materno fetale", l'attuale Consiglio Direttivo della SIEOG ha deciso, unitamente alla revisione del relativo Capitolo per le nuove Linee Guida, di riproporre il manuale in una versione aggiornata delle novità culturali che potrebbero avere un importante impatto nella pratica clinica. Tutti gli argomenti che nella prima edizione avevano ancora un utilizzo clinico limitato in strutture di riferimento o in progetti di studio sperimentali, hanno acquisito oggi maggiore robustezza in termini di EBM e pertanto hanno richiesto una sistematizzazione chiara e didattica sia a scopo educazionale sia per un più razionale impiego clinico. Sono stati inclusi alcuni nuovi Capitoli come l'arteria uterina nel primo trimestre, l'istmo aortico, la vena ombelicale, la previsione della preeclampsia, il diabete e l'accretismo placentare. Questi nuovi argomenti pur non essendo ancora parte integrante di consolidati percorsi clinici, devono tuttavia portare ad un riflessione sul rapido progresso del livello tecnologico delle apparecchiature e delle conoscenze scientifiche e devono comunque far parte del bagaglio culturale di ciascun ginecologo che si occupa di medicina materno-fetale.
