The Adult with Tetralogy of Fallot
Daniel Murphy , Michael Gatzoulis
editore: Blackwell Futura
pagine: 95
This monograph on the adult with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the first of a series dedicated to common topics in adult congenital cardiac disease (CHD). Published under the auspices of the International Society of Adult Congenital Cardiac Disease (ISACCD), the monograph provides comprehensive, timely review of the adult with TOF, the most common form of cyanotic CHD. The 6 chapters of the monograph, written by international authorities in the field, contain background information and current data on the major clinical problems facing adults with TOF.Patients born with TOF, although 'fixed,' are not 'cured'. Improving survival and quality of life for this ever-increasing adult population will continue to challenge the current and future generations of cardiologists. This monograph is intended as both an introduction to the subject and a timely, comprehensive review, more extensive than a review article and more up-to-date than a textbook. As such, this monograph should be of interest to the internist and the cardiologist who find themselves encountering adults with congenital heart defects with increasing frequency in their practice. Key references provided at the end of each chapter present the relevant literature, allowing for further reading.

Atlas of Endoscopic Anatomy for Endonasal Intracranial Surgery
Alessandra Alfieri
,
Enrico De Divitiis
e altri
editore: Springer Verlag GmbH
pagine: 138
It is only recently that the use of the endoscope as the sole visualizing tool has been introduced in transsphenoidal pituitary surgery with its favorable related implications and minimal operative trauma. Of course, microscopic and endoscopic anatomy are basically the same, but the optical distorsion of endoscopic images is quite substantial compared to microscopic depictions. An endoscope lens produces images with maximal magnification at its center and severe contraction at its periphery. Nearer images are disproportionally enlarged and remote images are falsely miniaturized. This optical illusion may disorientate a surgeon who is not familiar with this peculiar condition at the skull base. This atlas acts as a guide through the endoscopic anatomy and gives detailed descriptions of the preoperative management and the surgical procedures.
