Echocardiographic Anatomy in the Fetus

,
Andrew C. Cook
e altri
editore: Springer Verlag
pagine: 241
Whether in fetal or postnatal life, echocardiographic diagnosis is based on moving images. With recent advances in ultrasound systems, storing multiple digital frames and clips with superb image quality has become a reality. These advances have brought innovative applications into the clinical field and can be integrated into powerful multimedia presentations for teaching purposes. Sections of cardiac specimens are usually compared with corresponding sections in echocardiography textbooks. These sections are mainly obtained from isolated hearts, due to ease and speed of acquisition. Nevertheless, sections of the whole body are a better tool with which to understand the relationship between cardiac and extracardiac structures. This understanding is particularly important in fetal echocardiography, where the number of visible structures around the heart is much greater and the approaches to the fetal thorax are more variable.The DVD accompanying the book presents morphological images from tomographic sections of the whole fetal body, as well as high-quality dynamic echocardiographic images of normal fetuses and of some of the most common congenital heart defects. The extraordinary amount of information provided in this work makes this publication a highly useful resource for obstetricians, sonographers, and pediatric cardiologists.

Emergenze pediatriche
M. Roger Barkin , Peter Rosen
editore: Minerva Medica
pagine: 782
Nell'ambito dell'assistenza pediatrica si riscontra un sempre maggiore interesse nei confronti dell'emergenza/urgenza neonatale e pediatrica che rappresentano ormai i settori chiave della pediatria ospedaliera e gli unici in grado, con le patologie croniche, di giustificare l'esistenza stessa di una struttura complessa di Pediatria in un Ospedale Generale. È quindi necessario contribuire alla formazione di una mentalità orientata all'emergenza/urgenza in tutti i nuovi pediatri e aggiornare i meno giovani sui temi che si devono affrontare giornalmente associando l'esperienza e le conoscenze personali con la medicina basata sull'evidenza. Questo volume, pur con le inevitabili difficoltà di adattare alla nostra realtà clinica alcune abitudini e scelte tipicamente anglosassoni - che nel rispetto del testo originale si è cercato di conservare - rappresenta un utile e importante supporto per chi quotidianamente, nel proprio ambulatorio o in un Pronto Soccorso ospedaliero, è impegnato a migliorare la salute dei bambini.
