Mastering peritoneal dialysis in six steps
Peritoneal dialysis is a technique of extra renal purification in its own right, it represents an excellent alternative to haemodialysis especially in the paediatric population, unfortunately it is still denigrated by patients who panic at the idea of being alone with their disease and largely prefer the comfort that haemodialysis provides. The role of the nephrologist is to reassure his patient and to guide him on the path of home extra renal cleansing, it is clearly imperative that the first adherent must be the practitioner and that passes by a total control of this technique. Through this manuscript and in six steps I propose a simple and efficient training allowing you to make your first steps in peritoneal dialysis and in total safety.

Der Wirksamkeitsnachweis in der modernen Psychotherapieforschung. Chancen und Grenzen f羹r die Praxis
Fachbuch aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Medizin - Neurologie, Psychiatrie, S羹chte, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Frage, ob Psychotherapie wirkt und wenn ja, welche spezifische Therapiemethode in welchem Ausma? effektiv ist bzw. sein kann, besch瓣ftigt die Psychotherapieforschung bereits seit Jahrzehnten. Untersuchungen haben ergeben, dass offensichtlich jede Therapiemethode f羹r sich in Anspruch nimmt, die Wirksamste zu sein, es aber einen Goldstandard in Bezug auf eine Wirksamkeit von Psychotherapie nicht geben k繹nne. Es wird daher bereits seit L瓣ngerem die Idee diskutiert, 羹ber die speziellen Wirkungsweisen der einzelnen Therapiemethoden hinaus eine auf den Einzelfall angepasste Therapie anzuwenden. Eine bestechende wie einfache Idee - wenn da nur nicht das scheinbar enge Korsett der Anforderungen der klinischen Forschung an einen klinisch relevanten Wirksamkeitsnachweis auch f羹r die Psychotherapie w瓣re. In diesem Buch geht der Autor insbesondere zwei grundlegenden Fragen nach: Ist es methodologisch 羹berhaupt m繹glich und f羹r die moderne Psychotherapieforschung weiterhin sinnvoll, eine vom Einzelfall losgel繹ste, 羹bergreifende Generalisierbarkeit von einzelnen, spezifischen Psychotherapie-Methoden anzustreben? Sowie: ist es letztlich der Weiterentwicklung der Psychotherapieforschung daher eher dienlich, zun瓣chst in der klinischen Praxis auf Einzelfallbehandlungen abzustellen, in diesem Rahmen Erkenntnisse 羹ber die beste Therapie zu erzielen und dann bei Bedarf - unter Anwendung in der klinischen Forschung bereits vorhandener, geeigneter methodologischer Werkzeuge - dennoch empirisch verwertbare und aggregiert-generalisierbare Aussagen 羹ber verschiedene Patienten mit demselben Krankheitsbild hinweg zur Wirksamkeit von Psychotherapie zu erzielen? Problematisiert wird vom Autor insbesondere der kritisch zu bewertende Versuch, die Wirksamkeit von Psychotherapie durch randomisierte, Placebo-kontrollierte Studien ( RCTs) nachzuweisen, was sich wegen der hohen Anfor
Surgery for congenital heart disease in adulthood
Not so long ago, congenital heart disease was primarily a paediatric condition. Due to the decrease in pediatric mortality of multifactorial origin, adult patients with congenital heart disease represent a new patient population that is constantly growing in number and complexity and requires specialized management. The surgery of these heart diseases in adulthood has particular characteristics that differentiate it from congenital heart surgery in children and from the surgery of acquired cardiac pathologies. The specific management of adults with congenital heart disease (GUCH) in reference centres has contributed to the improvement of surgical results in terms of mortality and subsequent quality of life.
First Aid Pattern Recognition for the USMLE Step 1
This groundbreaking new guide helps you logically associate and link symptoms to likely diagnoses/conditions--a critical skill for passing the USMLE Step 1 Despite the recent changes to the USMLE Step 1, it remains a very important exam for medical students. In order to navigate the vignette-based questions, students must be able to determine a diagnosis based on the vignette, then understand the science behind the diagnosis--a process called pattern recognition. This innovative guide will help you master pattern recognition--a crucial skill to develop in order to thrive throughout the medical school curriculum. Organized by symptom to reflect exactly what you'll see on test day, First Aid Clinical Pattern Recognition for the USMLE Step 1 provides overviews for more than 50 symptoms, discussing differential diagnosis and the principles that should inform your thinking about each symptom. Overviews are followed by Step 1-style vignettes for every potential diagnosis that may be included in the Step 1 exam. Then, each vignette is followed by the diagnosis--and competing diagnoses--along with explanations of why the patterns fit for the correct diagnosis. Guiding principles provide important information (such as which diagnoses are common, which are rare, which are acute, which are chronic, etc.) to enhance the way you think about each symptom. Each vignette contains classic history/physical exam and lab/test findings that would be observed in a typical presentation of the disease.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is a practically-oriented guide to the complex reasoning, observations, and judgment that health professionals draw on to make a clinical diagnosis. Built on the cornerstone of the patient-physician relationship, this volume combines rigorous yet accessible conceptual analysis with actionable strategies for navigating uncertainty, making effective use of diagnostic tests, and understanding the economic, interpersonal, and ethical considerations influencing diagnosis. Across six chapters, Ashley Graham Kennedy tackles such thorny issues as overdiagnosis, underdiagnosis, and new complications from the Covid-19 pandemic, supplemented by carefully chosen medical case studies. In so doing, she demonstrates that even "ordinary" cases require a delicate balance of medical and ethical considerations in order to promote the patient's physical and mental well-being. Ultimately, this volume demonstrates that clinical diagnosis is not just about acquiring knowledge but also facilitating the health of the people it serves. With clarity and compassion, Diagnosis illuminates the ethical and philosophical underpinnings of the diagnostic process for the medical practitioner.
Assessment and Intervention Issues Across the Life Span
This volume addresses, across a variety of topics and subject populations, issues in the assessment of behavior and intervention to improve or ameliorate performance. Of interest to life-span, developmental, clinical, educational and neuropsychologists.

Breast Cancer Classification Using Machine Learning. An Empirical Study
Diploma Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Medicine - Diagnostics, grade: 3.55, course: Computer Science, language: English, abstract: The study will classify breast cancers into foremost problems: (Benign tumor and Malignant tumor). A benign tumor is a most cancers does now not invade its surrounding tissue or spread around the host. A malignant tumor is another kind of cancers which can invade its surrounding tissue or spread around the frame of the host. Benign cancers on uncommon event can also surely result in someone's death, but as a fashionable rule they're no longer nearly as horrific because the malignant cancers. The malignant cancers at the contrary are like those killer bees. In this situation, you do not need to be doing something to them or maybe be everywhere near their hive, they will just spread out and attack you emass - they could even kill the individual if they are extreme enough. Manual manner of cancer category into benign and malignant may be very tedious, susceptible to human error and unnecessarily time consuming. The proposed system while constructed can robotically classify the sort of most cancers into the safe (benign) and also the risky (malignant). This machine plays this role through the usage of machine getting to know algorithm. The following is the extensive of this new system: Classification mistakes could be notably removed, early analysis of disorder, removal of possible human mistakes and the device does no longer die. However, the researcher seeks to detect and assess the class of breast using Machine learning.

Solutions to Clinical Medical Challenges and Public Health Challenges
Background: Metformin mono- or combination therapies are the most common form of drug therapies used in managing type 2 diabetes. They are usually prescribed after exercise of some sort has been recommended. It is not always clear exactly how much glycaemic control is achieved by using these drugs or exercise. Objectives: To assess the relative efficacies of Metformin mono- and combination therapies and exercise in controlling diabetes type 2. Search strategy: Trials were identified by searching Pubmed and conducting manual searches of bibliographies. Selection Criteria: Randomised controlled trials and retrospective studies investigating the use of Metformin mono- or combination therapies in the treatment of diabetes type 2 with the reduction of HbA1c as a primary outcome. Data Collection and Analysis: As far as could be obtained, mean changes in HbA1c levels were obtained from all the trials and the percentage of participants who achieved HbA1c levels Main results: Seven trials including six randomised controlled trials and one retrospective study involving a total of 1807 patients. The trials lasted between 14 weeks and 52 weeks. Metformin mono-and combination therapies were shown to achieve mean reductions in HbA1c levels of between 0.6% and 2.7% compared to a mean reduction of 0.6% when using exercise alone. Conclusion: Exercise constitutes a clinically significant first line treatment of diabetes type 2 especially in its mild forms achieving both noteworthy reductions in HbA1c levels and ameliorating the effects of the disease. The use of Metformin in mono- or combination therapies however causes superior glycaemic control with reduction in mean HbA1c levels of up to 2.7%. This can be particularly useful when treating acute diabetes type 2.

Strategic Heart Failure
Written by one of the country's leading experts on Heart Failure, this completely new book provides a personalized approach, information and advice, guiding you and your family towards getting optimal heart failure care. Heart failure still affects over 6 million Americans, fill our hospitals and consumes enormous healthcare resources in the US and worldwide. Much of the impact of heart failure is lack of process and coordination of care with patients firmly inserted as team members.Dr. Silver says, "Strategic Heart Failure is a distillation of how my team and I helped patients and improved their outcomes for almost 4 decades. I want to share this approach directly with patients; they can help lead their healthcare, understand how decisions are made and improve the entire process of heart failure care."Understanding of a few fundamentals of heart failure care, especially the metrics and language that guideline directed care is crafted from, patients and families can not only join their care team but become the CEO! This Strategic approach moves people with heart failure from patients to partners within a caring, coordinated and engaged teams.Four prior editions of his books, Success with Heart Failure, elevated the understanding of the heart failure syndrome among thousands worldwide. His motivation for Strategic Heart Failure was his realization that his work on clinical trials, research, training other men and women professionals, serving on national guideline committees, being an Editor- in-Chief of a heart failure journal and even being one of the first Board Certified Fellows in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant was not enough. Even having one of the finest and most dedicated teams was not enough. It is critical for: The patient to be involvedThe patient to be the team leaderThe patient to speak the "Heart Failure" language and understand the rationale and process for every life impacting decision. Included is: Where to start even before deciding on drugs and devices?Who should be on your team?What is the Patient Profile and why it is essential for all team members to use?What are the various classifications of heart failure and why it matters?What does HFrEF, HFpEF and HFmEF mean and why does it matter?Why the majority of patients with or at risk for heart failure may not know of their risk?How to use published heart failure guidelines?What other chronic diseases commonly overlap with heart failure?What are biomarkers and how should they be used?And much, much more...including information on COVID-19, SGLT2 inhibiting drugs, lifesaving medicines including ARNIs, and technologies you may not be aware of such as blood volume analysis. And the truth is that Strategic Heart Failure is an approach that is of value to anyone with heart failure but also can be applied to any other chronic disease. So, let's get Strategic!
Growth Hormone Deficiency in Children and Adolescents
Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is one of the most common endocrine disorders with short stature in children. GHD is conventionally diagnosed and confirmed by the diminished peak of growth hormone (GH) for provocative testing. It is found that the level of Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) is under the influence of GH and reflects the spontaneous endogenous GH secretion. According to the absence of a circadian rhythm, it is possible to take individual measurements of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 at any time of the day to assess the state of GH instead of subjecting the individual to cumbersome provocative tests. In this book, we review a new clinical method for diagnosing growth hormone deficiency in children and adolescents with short stature.

Practical Immunocytochemistry in Diagnostic Cytology
This book provides current information for a judicious use of conventional and molecular ICC markers performed in cytologic samples to help in the cost-effective diagnosis of superficial and deep-seated masses. By providing both an eminently practical information for appropriate technical preparation of cytologic samples and a systematic exposure of the immunophenotypic and biomolecular characteristics of normal and pathological cells, the reported morphological-molecular findings highlight the characteristics of different lesions that are useful for the practical solution of a particular differential diagnosis. Chapters include description of the cytomorphology followed by a practical ICC staining pattern for each entity. Cytologic materials include serous effusions, exfoliative cytology, fine needle aspiration cytology of superficial and deep-seated masses, and squash preparation from central nervous system masses. Practical Immunocytochemistry in Diagnostic Cytology serves as a valuable resource towards understanding critical differences between tests performed on tissue samples and those carried out on cytologic samples.

Sensible Musculoskeletal Radiology
This book is intended to help physicians understand the nuances of ordering the most appropriate radiological exams for their patients, based primarily on the academic practice at the University of Washington and the evidence-based knowledge embedded in the American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria(R). Radiologists have a unique perspective on the appropriateness of radio-logical exams because they see the results of imaging exams in much larger numbers than any individual referring clinician. It is from this perspective that we have written this book.
Food Allergy
Food allergy is an adverse immunological reaction to allergens present in food. Up to 4% adults and 8% children are affected by food allergy. The increase in allergic diseases to food has led to the need for better diagnostics and more effective therapeutic approaches.This book describes the molecular biology and immunology of major food allergens, from laboratory based science to clinical immunology, encompassing novel characterisation and quantification methods, the application of recombinant food allergens in molecular diagnosis and the development of novel therapeutics. This book is the ideal reference tool for researchers, students and allergy clinicians to accurately diagnose and manage food allergies.
Nanomedicine for Inflammatory Diseases
Nanomedicine for Inflammatory Diseases is a cutting-edge resource for clinicians and scientists alike, working at the intersection of development and clinical therapeutics. This text is ideal for graduate level courses in nanomedicine, translational medicine, or inflammatory disease. This book is a progressive hallmark in translational medicine as it unites clinicians treating inflammatory disease with scientists developing experimental nanomedicine therapeutics. The commonality is made through a translational nanomedicine expert - bridging the gap between the laboratory benchtop and the clinical bedside.
Statistical Computing in Nuclear Imaging
Statistical Computing in Nuclear Imaging introduces aspects of Bayesian computing in nuclear imaging. The book provides an introduction to Bayesian statistics and concepts and is highly focused on the computational aspects of Bayesian data analysis of photon-limited data acquired in tomographic measurements. Basic statistical concepts, elements of decision theory, and counting statistics, including models of photon-limited data and Poisson approximations, are discussed in the first chapters. Monte Carlo methods and Markov chains in posterior analysis are discussed next along with an introduction to nuclear imaging and applications such as PET and SPECT. The final chapter includes illustrative examples of statistical computing, based on Poisson-multinomial statistics. Examples include calculation of Bayes factors and risks as well as Bayesian decision making and hypothesis testing. Appendices cover probability distributions, elements of set theory, multinomial distribution of single-voxel imaging, and derivations of sampling distribution ratios. C++ code used in the final chapter is also provided. The text can be used as a textbook that provides an introduction to Bayesian statistics and advanced computing in medical imaging for physicists, mathematicians, engineers, and computer scientists. It is also a valuable resource for a wide spectrum of practitioners of nuclear imaging data analysis, including seasoned scientists and researchers who have not been exposed to Bayesian paradigms.
Under the Collar
Diving straight to the core of the analytical memoir, Under the Collar: Frank Conversations about Healing that Harms, Simply Speaking is an audiobook abridgement.The narrated articles turn those problematic interactions, goofs and outright carelessness worsening healthcare practices into blunt snippets of cause-and-effect.Simply Speaking still follows the lone hospitalist voicing the ugly truths of medical practices. Openly expressed in audio, the experiences and analyses follow real conversations the writer shared with colleagues and friends.Based on over 15 years of actual clinical experiences as an Internist and Pediatrician, Under the Collar is a five-part conversation between a hospitalist and fellow practitioners, beginning with other hospitalists then moving onto other specialists, emergency physicians, nurses and administrators.The issues are medical, but the insults are universal.This Simply Speaking audiobook companion can be paired with the audio or flipped through alone as a series of short reads.
A Handbook on Early Intervention for Developmental Delay
This book highlights the importance of early intervention for developmental delay. The milestones of normal growth and development, developmental delay and its causes, assessment of development delay are discussed in depth. This books also contains variety of activities that would help improve the domains of development. The mode of early intervention followed in hospital settings is also mentioned. A list of resources are also added in.
Spirituality and Religion Within the Culture of Medicine
Spirituality and Religion Within the Culture of Medicine provides a comprehensive evaluation of the relationship between spirituality, religion, and medical practice. The authors, all leading clinician-researchers in their fields, assess the strengths and weaknesses of the most recent empirical research of religion and spirituality within many distinct fields of medicine. Recognizing the interdisciplinary aspects of spirituality, religion, and health, the book also turns to scholarship throughout a multitude of academic fields-including psychology, sociology, anthropology, law, history, philosophy, and theology-to consider cultural dimensions of clinical practice. This is the first time in a single volume that readers can reflect on these multi-dimensional, complex issues with contributions from leading scholars, as well as the first collection that assesses how the medical context interacts with patient spirituality recognizing crucial differences between contexts from obstetrics and family medicine, to nursing, to gerontology and the ICU. The book concludes with a synthesis, identifying the best studies in the field of religion and health, ongoing weaknesses in research, and highlighting what can be confidently believed based on prior studies. The synthesis also considers relations between the empirical literature on religion and health and the theological and religious traditions, discussing places of convergence and tension, as well as remaining open questions for further reflection and research. Spirituality and Religion within the Culture of Medicine provides trainees and clinicians introductory information for newcomers to the field of spirituality, religion, and medicine, and provides researchers and scholars familiar with field critical and up-to-date analysis from a multi-disciplinary approach.
