Atlas of Endometriosis

editore: Informa Healthcare
pagine: 208
Endometriosis affects women in the reproductive years, is associated with pelvic pain and infertility, and - although not life threatening - can seriously impair health, with huge economic and social consequences. It is arguably the most frequent problem encountered in contemporary More...gynecology and is the subject of much ongoing research and innovation in management. This beautifully and comprehensively illustrated Atlas, now in its third edition, provides a useful educational tool for trainees and general obstetricians and gynecologists who may not be up-to-date with the most important recent research on the diagnosis and management of the condition; particularly expanded for this edition are the chapters on ultrasound imaging and the nutritional aspects of the subject.

Autoimmunità. Gravidanza, contraccezione, terapia ormonale
Andrea L. Tranquilli
,
M. Giovanna Danieli
e altri
editore: Piccin-Nuova Libraria
pagine: 68
Le malattie autoimmuni non organo specifiche, quindi sistemiche, quali le connettiviti e le vasculiti sono malattie caratterizzate da una attività infiammatoria cronica, senza alcuna tendenza alla risoluzione; interessano più spesso il sesso femminile e l'età fertile. La loro interferenza nelle fasi della vita della donna è quindi ampia, riguardando sia la gravidanza sia l'ormonoterapia. L'influenza è bidirezionale, nel senso che una gravidanza può modificare l'evoluzione di queste malattie, in quanto le stesse possono compromettere il buon esito di una gravidanza; in realtà, nella donna gravida, queste malattie possono non modificare il proprio decorso, possono peggiorare o, paradossalmente, migliorare (vedi artrite reumatoide). La riattivazione di una malattia autoimmune o la sua estensione anatomo-clinica è quindi un evento da considerare, da prevenire, da controllare: alla sensibilità e alla competenza del medico il compito di cogliere il cambiamento e di agire razionalmente. Questo libro assiste il medico nelle sue scelte diagnostiche e soprattutto terapeutiche.
L'intervento psicologico in ginecologia
a cura di D. Casadei , P. L. Righetti
editore: Magi Edizioni
pagine: 285
Negli ultimi anni si sta assistendo a un interesse sempre più specifico verso l'applicazione clinica della psicologia in ambito ospedaliero, con metodologie e interventi mirati. L'apporto dello psicologo, al di là dell'intervento di tipo diagnostico e terapeutico, e mirato alla cura della "qualità di vita" del paziente ospedalizzato, del suo contesto relazionale ed e rivolto anche al personale medico e paramedico. Nel volume vengono esaminati i protocolli già sperimentati (e già applicati in alcune strutture ospedaliere) e il ruolo che la psicologia può avere in area ginecologica. Gli autori (psicologi, psicoterapeuti, psichiatri, ginecologi, chirurghi ginecologi, oncoginecologi e bioetici) presentano con grande chiarezza le acquisizioni specifiche maturate sul campo, senza tralasciare alcun aspetto specifico dell'area ginecologica (il lavoro in corsia, protocolli di supporto chirurgico, l'area dell'oncologia ginecologica, aspetti di sessuologia, menopausa, bioetica e procreazione medicalmente assistita). Si tratta di un testo che affronta il vissuto ospedaliero nella consapevolezza delle difficoltà ancora presenti ma con la finalità di riportare la malattia, oggi altamente e solamente medicalizzata, a una dimensione "umana e personale".
La procreazione assistita. Aspetti psicologici e medici
P. Luigi Righetti , Serena Luisi
editore: Bollati Boringhieri
pagine: 240
Un progetto comune, il traguardo di un cammino percorso in due, il frutto desiderato di un Tu e un Io che sono diventati un Noi: questo rappresenta un figlio per la maggior parte delle coppie. Ma quando l'infertilità si frappone tra il desiderio e la sua realizzazione, molte ombre calano sui mancati genitori, modificando profondamente la percezione sociale e individuale che uomo e donna hanno di sé. In questo libro Pier Luigi Righetti e Serena Luisi, entrambi psicologi (con la collaborazione di diversi specialisti) analizzano le conseguenze della genitorialità inappagata, le ansie, le aspettative che accompagnano ogni momento del ricorso ai protocolli di procreazione assistita. Un momento di crisi per la coppia, ma anche un'opportunità di crescita e rafforzamento del legame reciproco. Gli aspetti fisiologici e quelli psicologici trovano entrambi spazio in questa trattazione piana ed esaustiva di un tema quanto mai di attualità: psiche e soma, corpo e mente sono entrambi in gioco in un momento di vita così delicato da esigere una cura e un'attenzione che non possono e non devono limitarsi all'aspetto esclusivamente medico.
Cancer of the Ovary
Janet Husband , Rodney H. Reznek
editore: Cambridge
pagine: 188
Ovarian cancer is not only the commonest but also the most lethal gynaecological malignancy, partly because the majority of patients present with advanced disease. Nevertheless, the management of patients with ovarian neoplasms has changed substantially recently, with improved survival due to better screening strategies, major advances in chemotherapy and the constantly evolving role of surgery. Optimal patient care is best achieved by a multidisciplinary team, with imaging playing a pivotal role. The explosion of technological developments in imaging in recent years has meant that all members of the team should understand the potential applications, limitations and advantages of evolving imaging techniques. Each volume in Contemporary Issues in Cancer Imaging - A Multidisciplinary Approach is edited by an expert guest editor with contributions from all members of the multidisciplinary team, thus bringing together expertise from many specialties to promote the understanding and application of modern imaging in overall patient management.

The Female Pelvic Floor
Function, Dysfunction and Management According to the Integral Theory
Peter Petros
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 279
I f rst encountered the Integral T eory system in the early 1990's at the Royal Perth Hospital laboratory in Western Australia where I was working on laparoscopic colposuspension. Even in prototype form, the IVS operation was so simple and ef ective that I adopted it immediately. Subsequently, based on my experiences, I wrote the following in the Medical Journal of Australia in October 1994: (the operations) promise a new era for women, virtually pain-free cure of prolapse and incontinence without catheters, and return to normal activities within days. Now, ten years later, more than 500,000 'tension-free' anterior or posterior sling operations have been performed. One case in particular stands out from those early years. A woman patient in her mid-50's came to see me with a f ve year history of urinary retention which required an indwelling catheter. T is woman had consulted more than a dozen medical specialists who had told her the same story: no cure was possible. Using the Structured Assessment of the Integral T eory it was deduced that she had a posterior zone defect. I performed a Posterior IVS.
T e next day the patient was voiding spontaneously with low residuals, and she has remained well since.
