Etiology, Prevention and Management of Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy is a disorder affecting cardiac muscle cells and negatively impacting the ability of the heart to perform its functions. The prevalence of cardiomyopathy varies according to the type of cardiomyopathy, but inherited hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is very common because it affects about 1 in 500 people globally. Cardiomyopathy can affect any person irrespective of age, gender, or ethnicity. The severity of the symptoms of cardiomyopathy depends largely on the stage and gravity of the disease. Symptoms include but are not limited to tiredness, cardiac palpitations, arrhythmia, angina, dyspnea, fainting, and ankle edema. Cardiomyopathy can be caused by a plethora of conditions such as genetic mutations, diabetes mellitus, inflammation, infection, and amyloidosis of cardiomyocytes. In addition, coronary artery disease, hyperlipidemia, hemochromatosis, and muscular dystrophy may induce cardiomyopathy. Family history of cardiac disease, prolonged consumption of cocaine or alcohol, stress, pregnancy, obesity, and chemotherapy may predispose individuals to developing cardiomyopathy. What happens if cardiomyopathy is not treated? Arrhythmias, heart failure, cardiac stroke, cardiac valvular illness, and sudden cardiac death can occur. Etiology, Prevention, and Management of Cardiomyopathy is an assembly of original research and review articles on different aspects of cardiomyopathy. The variety of areas covered include the history, classification, diagnosis, types, prevention, and treatment of cardiomyopathy. The diverse areas covered and the types of articles presented make the book attractive reading material for medical and biological sciences students, researchers, cardiac patients, clinicians, and cardiologists. The book is organized into eight chapters. Themes covered in the book include the history, epidemiological issues, predisposing factors, forms, pathomechanisms, detection, preventive approaches, and medical and surgical therapy of different types of c
Medulloblastoma - Therapeutic Outcomes and Future Clinical Trials
Medulloblastoma is an important disease model for modern oncology. Treatment paradigms have significantly improved since the identification of the disease, and modern imaging and biomarker analysis have promoted the re-categorization of the disease to carefully place patients into clinical trials that reflect the anticipated outcome for each subset of the disease. Investigators will continue to strive to optimize therapy for this vulnerable patient population and constantly revisit outcomes to balance process improvements for disease control while limiting the sequelae of management. In this book, we present modern management aspects and strategies for therapy's future direction. It is our privilege to present this work to you.
From Supraventricular Tachycardias to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
This book focuses on two distinct clinical situations: patients with supraventricular arrhythmias and patients with dyssynchrony who could benefit from resynchronization therapy. Undoubtedly, these two subjects differ, but they share many fundamental characteristics. So, the link between supraventricular arrhythmias and resynchronization therapy is not accidental. On the one hand, persistent atrial arrhythmias may cause the left ventricle to dilate, resulting in tachyarrhythmic cardiomyopathy. Nevertheless, arrhythmias, particularly supraventricular ones such as atrial fibrillation, may worsen dilated cardiomyopathy. Before beginning any resynchronization therapy, the atrial arrhythmia must be addressed to ensure a high pacing percentage and optimum cardiac synchronization. The book's first section focuses on supraventricular arrhythmias, covering tachycardias using accessory pathways and atrial fibrillation. The book's second section discusses the physiological justification and technique of resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure, as well as indications, implantation technique, challenges, and long-term results. Overall, the chapters are useful for experienced arrhythmology specialists, both electrophysiologists and device implantation cardiologists. They cover equally demanding procedures of CRT implantation and the treatment of supraventricular arrhythmias using catheter ablation.
Recovering Together
Having an acute neurological illness (ANI; e.g., stroke, brain injury) is often traumatic for patients and the family or friends who support them. The sudden onset of symptoms, admission to an intensive care unit, and prognostic uncertainty can cause depression, anxiety, or posttraumatic stress, amongst other symptoms, in both patients and their informal caregivers. This distress is shared between patients and caregivers, and, if untreated can become chronic and interfere with a patient's recovery and the caregivers' quality of life. Addressing early emotional distress with both the patient and caregiver can help to manage and prevent chronic emotional distress in both. Recovering Together (RT) is a 6-session resiliency intervention that aims to prevent chronic emotional distress following an ANI. This intervention integrates approaches including mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy in ways that decrease cognitive load and increase accessibility for clients. It teaches mindfulness skills, coping skills, and interpersonal skills. This patient and caregiver workbook provides session-by-session instructions, scripts, in-session activities, and home practice assignments, which can be used in conjunction with the accompanying clinician guide. Corresponding materials available online provide additional opportunity for practice.
Recovering Together
Having an acute neurological illness (ANI; e.g., stroke, brain injury) is often traumatic for patients and the family or friends who support them (e.g., caregivers). The sudden onset of symptoms, admission to an intensive care unit, and prognostic uncertainty contribute to emotional distress symptoms (depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress) in both patients and their informal caregivers. This early distress is interdependent between patients and caregivers, and, if untreated can become chronic and interfere with patient's recovery and caregivers' quality of life. Addressing early emotional distress with both the patient and caregiver (e.g., together called a dyad) accounts for this interdependency and can be an effective and efficient modality to prevent chronic emotional distress in both. Recovering Together (RT) is a 6-session, modular dyadic resiliency intervention that aims to prevent chronic emotional distress following an ANI. This intervention integrates evidence-based approaches including mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy and repackages them in ways that decrease cognitive load and increase accessibility in the context of an ANI. It teaches mindfulness skills (e.g., deep breathing, present moment awareness), coping skills (e.g., dialectics, meaning-making, adaptive thinking), and interpersonal skills (e.g., communication, coping with role changes). RT can be delivered within a hospital as well as over live video. This clinician guide provides session-by-session instructions, scripts, in-session activities, and home practice assignments, which can be used in conjunction with the accompanying patient and caregiver workbook.

Jak-Inhibitors in Dermatology
This book covers the clinical usage of JAK inhibitors, which target Janus kinases and have shown promising results in the treatment of various dermatologic conditions, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, vitiligo, connective tissue disorders, autoimmune bullous diseases and alopecia areata. It is likely that JAK inhibitors will continue to play an important role in the management of these conditions, with clinical trials ongoing to assess their safety and efficacy in the treatment of other dermatologic disorders, such as vitiligo and hidradenitis suppurativa. However, it is important to note that JAK inhibitors can have potential side effects, including increased risk of infections, anemia and thrombosis. Therefore, careful monitoring of patients receiving JAK inhibitors is necessary to ensure their safety.Jak Inhibitors in Dermatology represents a treatise on this novel topic and discusses that while JAK inhibitors have shown great promise in the treatment of various dermatologic conditions, further research and monitoring is necessary to fully understand their potential benefits and risks. This book is therefore of great interest for all dermatologists as a first step to understanding this novel treatment.
