Intraperitoneal Therapy for Ovarian Cancer

Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is increasingly being used as first-line treatment for ovarian cancer. Nevertheless, it is difficult for the oncolo-gist to find a definitive text that documents both the fundamental methods required to optimize therapy and the up-to-date results of phase I, II, and III clinical trials. With this in mind, the editors of Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy have assembled a team of highly experienced clini-cians and researchers to cover every aspect of the subject. The topics addressed include treatment principles, patient, drug, and catheter selection, administration guidelines, the role of hyper-thermia, supportive care requirements, novel drugs, and the most recent results of clinical trials. This book will be an invaluable source of informa-tion for both practicing clinical oncologists and oncologists in training.

Features7 A comprehensive review of intraperitoneal chemotherapy 7 Explains treatment principles and selection criteria for patients, drugs, and catheters 7 Presents administration guidelines, discusses novel drugs, and examines the most recent results of clinical trials 7 Written by highly experienced clinicians

OZONEA new medical drug

Oxygen-Ozone therapy is a complementary approach less known than homeopathy and acupuncture because it has come of age only three decades ago. This book clarifies that, in the often nebulous field of natural medicine, the biological bases of ozone therapy are totally in line with classical biochemistry, physiological and pharmacological knowledge. Ozone is an oxidizing molecule, a sort of super active oxygen, which, by reacting with blood components generates a number of chemical messengers responsible for activating crucial biological functions such as oxygen delivery, immune activation, release of hormones and induction of antioxidant enzymes, which is an exceptional property for correcting the chronic oxidative stress present in atheroscle-rosis, diabetes and cancer. Moreover, by inducing nitric oxide synthase, ozone therapy may mobilize endogenous stem cells, which will promote regeneration of ischemic tissues. The description of these phenomena offers the first comprehensive picture for understanding how ozone works and why. When properly used as a real drug within therapeutic range, ozone therapy does not only does not procure adverse effects but yields a feeling of wellness. Half the book describes the value of ozone treat-ment in several diseases, particularly cutanious infection and vascular diseases where ozone really behaves as a “wonder drug”. The book has been written for clinical researchers, physicians and ozone therapists, but also for the layman or the patient interested in this therapy.

Features7 The best available book on this subject and very useful to ozonetherapy specialists in the world 7 The book has been written for clinical resear-chers, physicians and ozone therapists, but also for the layman or the patient interested in this therapy 7 This book offers the first comprehensive picture for understanding how ozone works and why

Nursing InformaticsWhere Caring and Technology Meet

Like the three editions that preceded it, this new edition targets markets in health care practice and educational settings. It addresses practicing nurses and nursing students, together with nursing leadership and nursing faculty. It speaks to nursing informatics specialists and—in a departure from earlier editions of this title—to all nurses, regard-less of their specialty, extending its usefulness as a text as noted below. In recognition of the evolving electronic health information environ-ment and of interdisciplinary health care teams, the book is designed to be of interest to members of other health care professions (quality officers, administrators, etc.) as well as health information technology professionals (in health care facilities and in industry). The book will include numerous relevant case studies to illustrate the theories and principles discussed, making it an ideal candidate for use within nursing curricula (both undergrad-uate and graduate), as well as continuing education and staff development programs. This book honors the format established by the first three editions by including a content array and questions to guide the reader. This 4th edition also includes numerous brief case studies that help to illustrate the theories and practices described within the various chapters. Most of these “mini-cases” are provided by members of professional nursing organizations that comprise the TIGER Initiative. These mini-cases are listed in the front matter and highlighted via formatting throughout the text.

Features7 Defines the role of technology in nursing 7 The only book to address nursing informatics education while focusing on enabling technolo-gies and emerging trends 7 Core chapters and appendices, from the second and third editions, have been updated

Breast MRIFundamentals and Technical Aspects

Breast MRI has emerged as a valuable adjunct to the conventional imaging modalities in the detec-tion of primary and recurrent breast cancer. Yet, most radiologists who rely on MRI do not have knowledge of the fundamentals so essential to achieving and maintaining high image quality. With a focus on the basic imaging principles of breast MRI rather than on mathematical equations, this book takes a practical approach to imaging protocols that helps radiologists increase their diagnostic effectiveness. The text walks the reader through the basics of MRI, making it especially accessible to beginners. From a detailed outline of equipment prerequisites for obtaining high quality breast MRI to instructions on how to optimize image quality, expanded discussions on how to obtain optimized dynamic information, and explanations of good and bad imaging techniques, the book covers the topics that are most relevant to performing breast MRI.

Features7 Author Dr. Hendrick is a renowned educator and researcher in breast imaging 7 Provides step-by-step instructions to establish breast MRI protocols and maximize image quality 7 Contains numerous examples of good and poor breast MR imaging 7 Offers an in-depth explana-tion of the technical aspects of breast MR imaging

Let’s Talk Chronic PainA Manual for Patients and Physicians

This book presents a concept of chronic pain that has been derived from years of clinical practice by two experts. It is derived from discussions with several hundred patients with persistent pain despite a multitude of prior attempts to cure their pain. It reveals an understanding of what causes chronic pain, what makes it worse, what medica-tions are appropriate or inappropriate, and when a surgical or other procedure should or should not be done. It recognizes that most chronic pain patients are over-treated, rather than the opposite. There is great confusion among both doctors and patients about the role of pain medications, many of which are addicting and may make the pain worse rather than better. Most successful treat-ment of chronic pain begins with both the doctor and the patient recognizing the many factors that influence the pain. The book presents general prin-ciples, patient selection and non-surgical manage-ment of persistent non-cancer pain and teaches how to discuss these factors in a comprehensive and understandable format with both patients and other physicians.

Features7 Rational understanding of the mechanism that leads to chronic pain 7 Succinct description of practical, effective and proven steps to successful management 7 Valuable and easy -to- read guide forboth the clinician and the patient

ContentsTypes of Pain.- General Rules of Pain Manage-ment.- What is the Chronic Pain Syndrome?

Fondamenti di medicina nucleareTecniche e applicazioni

Questo libro nasce da una sentita esigenza didat-tica relativa in primo luogo all’insegnamento della Medicina Nucleare, che è materia di almeno quattro corsi integrati (“Radiofarmaci”, “Stru-mentazione in Medicina Nucleare”, “Tecniche di Medicina Nucleare”, e “Terapia con Tecniche di Medicina Nucleare”) distribuiti nell’arco di due anni del Corso di Laurea in “Tecniche di Radiologia Medica per Immagini e Radioterapia” (TSRM). Infatti, non esiste un testo Italiano dedicato specificamente a questo Corso di Laurea, e il libro rappresenterebbe quindi un riferimento comune per tutti gli studenti in ogni Ateneo italiano sede del Corso di Laurea. Inoltre, il libro è concepito anche come fonte di aggiornamento e di adeguamento della cultura professionale dei TSRM già laureati alla continua evoluzione di tecniche e tipiche della Medicina Nucleare (incluso l’imaging “ibrido” in generale) in questo periodo di impor-tante trasformazione della disciplina. Infine, anche gli Specializzandi in Medicina Nucleare (come pure quelli in Radiodiagnostica, in Radioterapia, e in Oncologia Medica) possono trovare in questo libro utili fonti di formazione e di aggiornamento su differenti aspetti di pratica della Medicina Nucleare e sulla interazione di questa Specialità con altre Specialità.

Features7 Ogni capitolo dedicato a una specifica applica-zione clinica 7 Include anche una introduzione clinica di base 7 Il testo è stato volutamente impostato e strutturato in modo 7 Da poter essere letto a livelli di approfondimento differenti 7 Il volume sarà inoltre punto di riferimento 7 Per i diversi operatori e per gli utilizzatori clinici della Medicina 7 Nucleare

A. N. Popper, M. Riess Jones, R. R. Fay (Eds.)

Music PerceptionThe increasing prevalence of musical stimulation in our everyday environment makes studies of musical listening, comprehension and memory important. Music has simply become a pervasive aspect of the experienced environment for most of us; along with enhanced levels of machine sounds, musical sound sources are contributing to a virtual transformation of contemporary soundscapes occurring in many industrial countries. In spite of such trends, arguably the mainstream research in psychology and related fields has been slow to devote concentrated attention to this phenom-enon and what it might mean. As a result, with respect to more established fields of research (e.g., visual perception, speech perception, attention and memory etc.), less is known about how people perceive and respond to complex, non-random, acoustic signals found in musical events. Although these topics reside in the domain of music research, this field is a relatively new one, with a history that dates back only about 25 years. Nevertheless, it is now a vibrant and rapidly growing field that draws from multiple disciplines (psychology, psychoacoustics, computer science, music theory, and so forth) to seek answers to questions about how we listen to musical events in our world. It tackles questions about pitch perception in complex patterns, about the role of tonal schemes as well as effects of metrical and rhythmic schemes on musical listening behaviors. It also examines abilities of children and adults to perceive and comprehend dynamic sound patterns. Emotional responses to music are also studied; and overarching all of this are exciting new neurosci-ence findings concerned with neural responses to musical events.

Features7 Provides a comprehensive overview of issues confronted by researchers in music perception/cognition 7 First unifying volume on music perception 7 Chapters written by leading researchers in the field.

Rare Diseases EpidemiologyThe Rare Diseases Epidemiology book is a compre-hensive text focused on the rare disease field where both general epidemiological methods and specific methods for low prevalence diseases are discussed. This is the first book to address rare diseases as a public health problem where the epidemiological research constrains are analyzed and at the same time, solutions and also data by rare diseases groups are provided. This book is probably a starting point for developing better future epide-miological research programs on rare diseases, and also research strategies in fields such as health planning and decision making, which will be able to promote not only new knowledge but also capacity building for policy makers. Epidemiology is always mentioned in all rare diseases policy documents as an important topic but a compre-hensive book on this discipline applied to rare diseases, had never been written before.

Features7 It is the first book edited on Rare Diseases Epidemiology 7 Develops a comprehensive approach to the rare diseases epidemiological problems 7 Teaches the best knowledge currently available 7 Opens future perspectives for health planning and decision making 7 Provides a general framework for physicians, public health experts and basic researchers

Presenting at Medical Meetings

Lectures on scientific data, educational lectures, and the various other forms of oral presentation are the basis for every medical meeting. Physicians are not professionally trained in giving lectures. This becomes very obvious when one visits a medical meeting. Often the message of the presen-tation is lost because of poor preparation, slides that fail to communicate effectively, and a generally unconvincing performance by the lecturer. To give a high-quality lecture that will be remembered for its content and form, one first has to learn some basic rules about preparation, PowerPoint slides, and oral communication. This book will enable the reader to overcome all the common presentation mistakes and to start a new career as a professional lecturer and esteemed faculty member.

Features7 Provides all the information that the reader will need in order to effectively prepare and deliver presentations at medical meetings 7 Intended for all medical groups, from professionals to students and researchers 7 Enjoyable to read, and includes illuminating and amusing anecdotes

ContentsHow to prepare.-How to make better medical powerpoint presentations.-How to become a professional speaker.-Workshops and other lectures.-The social medical enviroment.-Tips and tricks.

Cardiac Electrophysiology Methods and Models

Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of mortality and morbidity in the Western Hemi-sphere. While significant progress has been made in treating a major sub-category of cardiac disease, arrhythmias, significant unmet needs remain. In particular, every day, thousands of patients die because of arrhythmias in the US alone, and atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia affecting millions of patients in the US alone at a given time. Therefore, there is a public need to continue to develop new and better therapies for arrhythmias. Accordingly, an ever increasing number of biomedical, pharmaceutical, and medical personnel is interested in studying various aspects of arrhythmias at a basic, translational, and applied level, both in industry (ie Biotech, Pharmaceutical and device), and in academia. Not only has our overall understanding of molecular bases of disease dramatically increased, but so has the number of available and emerging molecular, pharmacological or device treatment based therapies.

Snapshots of HemodynamicsAn Aid for Clinical Research and Graduate Education

This book is written to help clinical and basic researchers, as well as graduate students, in the understanding of hemodynamics. Recent develop-ments in genetics and molecular biology as well as new non-invasive measurement techniques, make it possible to measure and understand the hemodynamics of heart and vessels better than ever before. Hemodynamics make it possible to characterize, in a quantitative way, the func-tion of the heart and the arterial system, thereby producing information about what genetic and molecular processes are of importance for cardio-vascular function. The layout of the book provides a short and essen-tial overview of individual topics. It is designed as a quick reference guide and each chapter can stand alone. The chapters are written to define the basic and applied principles of the hemodynamic topic. If more details or broader perspectives are desired, the reader can refer to related chapters to which the text refers, or the textbooks listed in the ‘Refer-ence books’ section in Appendix 5. Each chapter starts with a ‘box’ containing a figure and caption that give the basic aspects of each topic. Chapters end with the section, ‘Physiological and Clinical Relevance’ that puts the information from the chapter into perspective. The section in between, ‘Description’, can be used to get more detailed information and find relevant references.

OncofertilityEthical, Legal, Social, and Medical Perspectives

The Oncofertility Consortium, an interdisciplinary group of researchers and clinicians, is dedicated to improving fertility preservation options for cancer patients. Invited by the Consortium, social science scholars immerse themselves in two days of intense discussion and debate, listening to presentations provided by scholars from a wide variety of backgrounds including the basic sciences, clinicians, religion, law, communications, and economics. The development of novel fertility preservation procedures will undoubtedly have a meaningful impact on society; gathering leading social scientists together annually to discuss these potential implications helps to better prepare clinicians and researchers alike to the real-world perspectives they will likely encounter if the tech-nology is successful. Now entering its second year, summit attendees were invited to present their own research and ruminations during this year’s program. These brief presentations were used as a platform from which to produce a book chapter to be included in this peer-reviewed publication with a similar name as the summit, “Oncofertility: Perspectives from the Humanities, Social Sciences and the Law.” The target audience for “Oncofer-tility: Ethical, Legal, Social, and Medical Perspec-tives” is a large interdisciplinary population of clinicians, researchers, legal, ethical, and religious scholars.

Features7 Oncofertility is an interdisciplinary field bridging biomedical and social sciences and examining fertility options, choice and goals in light of cancer diagnosis, treatment and survivor-ship 7 Written by an interdisciplinary group of researchers and clinicians 7 Prepares clinicians and researchers for real-world perspectives of Oncofertility they will encounter
