Ematologia

La nuova edizione di Core Curriculum Ematologia scaturisce dall'apprezzamento da parte di docenti e studenti che ha accompagnato la prima pubblicazione e dall'esigenza di aggiornarla con le numerose importanti acquisizioni di ordine biologico, iagnostico e terapeutico che hanno radicalmente modificato in questi ultimi anni la trattazione delle singole malattie ematologiche. I capitoli sono stati profondamente revisionati e riformulati grazie al contributo di alcune prestigiose scuole di ematologia appresentate dai docenti in copertina, che arricchiscono l'opera con la preziosa esperienza didattica e di ricerca. Resta confermato il principio ispiratore, cioè di fornire una serie di concetti essenziali per garantire il nucleo irrinunciabile delle competenze el uturo professionista, integrati da finestre di approfondimento utili a interpretare i meccanismi patogenetici implicati nella trattazione dei singoli quadri patologici, spunti di ricerche e prospettive e alcuni nuovi algoritmi terapeutici, frutto della ricerca traslazionale che è stata in grado di trasferire in particolare al campo clinico ematologico, con rapidità ed efficienza, numerose osservazioni di laboratorio. L'attenzione alla sintesi e alla chiarezza rendono il testo fruibile anche dagli studenti di biotecnologie e professioni sanitarie.

Il volume si propone di offrire ai lettori una fotografia puntuale ed aggiornata del Sistema trasfusionale italiano visto dal

La sesta edizione del volume "Malattie del sangue e degli organi ematopoietici" vede la luce forte del successo delle precedenti edizioni, a testimonianza dell'alto livello di interesse che studenti, specializzandi e medici nutrono per la disciplina. La formula di impostazione del libro, che affianca completezza dell'informazione a studio e consultazione agevoli, si è rivelata negli anni vincente, affermandolo come un testo autorevole e frequentemente menzionato nelle bibliografie d'esame, ed è rimasta pertanto sostanzialmente immutata. Rinnovamenti significativi sono stati apportati, invece, nella grafica di copertina e degli interni, e nell'organizzazione e aggiornamento dei contenuti, dando rilievo, in particolare, a nuove classificazioni e acquisizioni di fisiopatologia in rapporto a recenti conoscenze maturate su singole patologie, e ad aggiornati schemi terapeutici per le forme morbose che hanno beneficiato negli ultimi anni di nuove armi terapeutiche.

All'interno di un reparto di pediatria oncologica si genera una realtà complessa, carica di esperienze forti legate allo sviluppo della malattia e, ancor più, all'età del paziente. Con rigore metodologico, in questi quattro anni ci siamo chiesti: come si può lavorare con la musicoterapia in un processo di cura caratterizzato da tante criticità? E quale metodo è opportuno seguire in questo contesto? Presto ci siamo resi conto che l'incertezza del decorso clinico arrivava a mettere a dura prova la stabilità emotiva anche di noi musicoterapisti e degli altri operatori e condizionava perfino la possibilità di un percorso/progetto terapeutico. Tutto ci portava inevitabilmente a riflettere non solo sulla validità della metodologia ma anche sulle risposte esistenziali da dare quando ci si interroga sul significato della vita in situazioni così delicate ed estreme.

Since the very beginning of critical care medicine, much attention has been paid to the risk of bleeding, but only recently the risk of thrombosis has been recognized in critical patients; in fact, current laboratory investigations aimed to monitor blood coagulation are more focused on the assessment of the hemorrhagic than of the thrombotic risk. Since mid-90s, many studies have detected powerful pro-thrombotic actions of endogenous mediators in sepsis and other inflammatory conditions, including trauma and postoperative status. Unfortunately, the related complication are both hard to detect and extremely harmful. The volume provides a full coverage of the hemocoagulative problems in anesthesia and intensive care, taking into consideration the physiology and monitoring of hemostasis, its relation with sepsis, and the specific aspects of the various critical conditions - from trauma to burns, to heart and transplant surgery or acute renal failure.
