In the Urogynaecology Department at Birmingham Women's NHS Foundation Trust, we have long known that the impact of Overactive Bladder for women with the condition reaches far beyond physical symptoms alone. The condition can hugely affect everyday life in lots of different ways. This could be in your career, socially, within your family or in how you feel emotionally. For many years, the department have been extremely keen to support their patients with these issues from early in their treatment journey. We want our patients to feel empowered to make decisions about their treatment and be able to live life to the full alongside their symptoms. This book is a culmination of eight year's work addressing the psychological and social impact of bladder incontinence. The material in this book is based on the content of a group course offered at our hospital. This book is for women who experience bladder problems and incontinence. Although it is specifically aimed at those with urgency and frequency problems (commonly associated with an Overactive Bladder), much of the material is applicable to bladder problems more generally.
Thread lift
This book has been reviewed thread lift techniques for a specific area, type of threads, histopathology, complication and management. We divided our protocol into short and long techniques. We drew all of the techniques in 3D pictures for a better understanding and applications in clinical setting. There are also contain advantages and disadvantages in each techniques and how to choose the proper one for the BEST clinical result for your patients.
Antibiotics in Pediatric Dentistry
Antibiotics can be unanimously considered as drugs which have truly revolutionised healthcare by achieving adequate control of infections. The necessity for antimicrobial drug use in pediatric dentistry arises from a variety of circumstances, including odontogenic infections, oral wounds, periodontal disease, candidiasis, and primary herpetic gingivostomatitis. Antibiotic prophylaxis is an aid for pedodontic treatments in those situations where there's a risk of bacteremia. Successful management of infections relies on the practitioner's knowledge of the microbiology of odontogenic and intraoral infections and the spectrum of activity, pharmacology, and adverse effects of the antimicrobial agents being prescribed. In addition, patient specific factors such as overall health, concomitant medications, and the ability to afford or comply with the prescribed drug regimen must be considered. This book aims to provide an insight in the world of antibiotics.
Lighting the Path to Oral Healing
Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is emerging as a game-changer in the management of oral lichen planus. With its ability to reduce pain, calm inflammation, and accelerate healing-without the side effects of traditional drugs-PBMT offers a powerful, patient-friendly alternative to corticosteroids. Its non-invasive nature and consistent clinical results make it a promising frontline or adjunctive therapy, especially for chronic or treatment-resistant cases. As research continues to evolve, PBMT stands at the forefront of modern, evidence-based oral care.
A Novel Autism Facial Dysmorphism Syndrome
Autism disorders are a very complicated and multifarious group of chronic disorders that are characterized by early impairment in social interaction and communication. The diagnosis of autism is clinical and is based on the presence of characteristic diagnostic manifestations resulting from impaired social interaction and communication, which cause the two major diagnostic features of autism: the lack of appropriate responsiveness to one's own name and the lack of eye contact. This book describes a dysmorphic boy with autism whose phenotypic presentation does not align with any currently known genetic syndromes associated with autism, suggesting the possibility of a novel syndromic autism phenotype. This book highlights a unique clinical entity "Syndromic Autism with Distinct Craniofacial Dysmorphism".
Autism, Focal Cortical Atrophy, and Epilepsy
Autism disorders are a heterogeneous group of disorders that are typically considered a functional neurodevelopmental disorder without consistent radiological findings. Consequently, routine brain imaging is not widely recommended. For decades, autism disorders have been considered life-long disorders without curative therapies. Recently, a new therapeutic approach aiming primarily at improving and curing the two major diagnostic features of autism which are poor responsiveness to their name and poor eye contact, has been increasingly used. Injectable cerebrolysin is the main therapeutic component in this new therapeutic approach. This book highlights a unique clinical entity where early childhood autism is associated with focal cortical atrophy and later development of epilepsy. The initial response to cerebrolysin underscores the role of neurotrophic therapy in modulating neuroplasticity and improving functional outcomes even in patients with underlying structural abnormalities. The recurrence of symptoms and emergence of seizures following treatment cessation suggests a progressive or evolving neurological basis rather than a purely static neurodevelopmental disorder.
Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis
A new form of dialysis was developed in Austin, Texas through collaboration between a Nephrology physician and a Biomedical Engineer. The revolutionary self management procedure has spread throughout the world and freed thousands of patients with kidney failure from dependence on standard dialysis which is commonly painful and personally restrictive in food and water intake. This is the story of How-When-Where.
Acupressure in insomnia for patients with Alzheimer's disease
Sleep disorders are very common in elderly institutionalized people with dementia. We explored the effectiveness of acupressure for the treatment of insomnia and we want to show that the acupressure treatment is feasible also in elderly resident patients. We enrolled institutionalized patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease with mild cognitive impairment and insomnia. A daily acupressure on HT7 point was performed for a 8-week period. We administered the following scales: the mini mental state examination, the global deterioration scale, the neuropsychiatric inventory, the state-trait-anxiety inventory, the activity daily living and the instrumental activity daily living, the global health quality of life, and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index. After receiving the acupressure treatment, patients saw a significant decrease of sleep disorders. The number of hours of effective sleep was perceived as increased. The time necessary to fall asleep decreased significantly and also the quality of sleep increased. Additionally, also the quality of life was bettered. Sedative drugs have been reduced in all patients enrolled in the study.
Pelvic Floor Muscle Rehabilitation
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the anatomy, function, and dysfunction of the pelvic floor muscles, with a special focus on physiotherapeutic interventions. It explores the causes and impact of pelvic floor disorders such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and postpartum complications, particularly in women. The book emphasizes evidence-based physiotherapy techniques including pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), biofeedback, electrical stimulation, and behavioral strategies. Designed for physiotherapists, healthcare professionals, and students, this text bridges the gap between theory and clinical practice, promoting holistic management for improved pelvic health and quality of life.
Feeling Blue
Feeling blue is the first book-length history of colour in modern hospitals. It examines colour in relation to six key themes - hygiene, emotion, humanisation, homeliness, play, consumerism - which are tied together by the idea of the 'modern' hospital. The book does not simply describe changes to the appearance of hospitals over time, but instead thinks expansively about the role of colour in shaping how hospitals felt. It uses colour to understand the layered meanings of modernity in twentieth-century Britain, and its relationship to the 'mundane' or everyday life of hospitals.
