Near Misses and Lessons Learned

J. G. Brock-Utne, Stanford University Medical Center, Stanford, CA, USA

Compiled from the author’s 30+ years practice in major metropolitan hospitals in the US, Sweden and South Africa, this collection of actual cases offers an excellent review of potential problems and solutions all anesthesiologists should know. The cases are succinct. The problem is described on one page and the solution on the next as well as a retrospective analysis that examines whether the solution used was actually the best (or only)

choice or if other solutions might have provided equally satisfactory outcomes. Also included in the analyses are tips to help avoid the problem altogether, when possible. This book is an excellent review for the ABA oral exam and is an easy and practical way to prepare for the unexpected in the daily practice of clinical anesthesia.

R. Munoz, C. G. Schmitt, University of Pittsburgh, PA, USA; S. J. Roth, Children‘s Hospital, Palo Alto, CA, USA; E. da Cruz, Geneva Children‘s University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland. (Eds.)

The treatment of pediatric patients with congenital or acquired cardiac disease remains an important challenge for physicians. The challenge to practitioners is complex given that most drugs used in this field are either unlicensed or off-label and that the patient population is a heterogeneous group not only in pathologies but also in size, weight and metabolism. This pocket reference handbook provides the health care practitioner with general clinical and practical guidelines regarding the use of pediatric cardiovascular

drugs. It reviews basic pediatric cardiovascular principles and compiles the necessary information required to assist the practitioner involved in the care of pediatric patients with heart disease in their day-to-day practice. It will be helpful for physicians, fellows, residents, pharmacists, and nurses in the multiple disciplines of anesthesia, pediatrics, critical care, cardiology, cardiac surgery and cardiac intensive care.

From the reviews 7 “The first three chapters of the book provide important foundational information. Chapters 4, 6, and 7 are the stars of this book. The authors lay out in great detail the complex process of arriving at a measure of treatment effect. We statisticians are so used to having this handed to

us that we never think about how important this process is. The authors also provide pragmatic advice about whether to select your sample to be mildly ill or seriously ill, or whether you should choose healthy volunteers instead.” 7 Steve Simon, Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics, Issue 2, 2008

Part 2 summarizes the preclinical data arising from the experimental evaluation of anti-angiogenic and pro-angiogenic compounds in cell culture and animal models. This will help to elucidate their mechanism of action in different biologic systems and cancer types. Based on this

knowledge, clinicians will be able to incorporate these new drugs into the scenario of established therapies and finally improve curative approaches. Part 3 summarizes experimental and clinical studies of combined therapy with anti-angiogenic agents and highlights the challenges related to the appropriate strategies for selection of the patients, study design, and choice of proper end points for preclinical and clinical studies using these agents.

Fertility Preservation for Cancer Survivors

T. K. Woodruff, K. A. Snyder, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Evanston, IL, USA (Eds.)

While cancer survival rates have increased steadily over the last several decades, particularly among younger patients, the more aggressive forms of treatment that have made this possible often compromise a cancer patient’s ability to later have biological children. In the past, pregnancy after cancer was extremely rare. Today it is increasingly a possibility due to high survivorship rates in general and emerging reproductive technologies that give patients and their families options

at the time of diagnosis to ensure a patient’s future fertility. Oncofertility has emerged as an interdisciplinary field bridging biomedical, social sciences and examines issues regarding an individual’s fertility options, choice and goals in light of cancer diagnosis, treatment and survivorship. Written by leaders in this evolving field, this volume covers various aspects of Oncofertility, including medical, ethical and social.

A. Lerner, D. Reis, M. Soudry, Rambam Healt Care Campus, Haifa, Israel

Modern weapons and high-energy accidents inflict devastating damage to soft tissue and bone. This book details the protocol of staged external fixation developed by the authors: primary temporary unilateral tubular stabilization followed by definitive circular Ilizarov (hybrid) fixation. The text is based on the vast experience of the Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, Israel. Coverage explains

and fully illustrates the rationale and advantages of a logical progression of surgical steps. The book draws from an archive of clinical photographs and X-ray documentation that cover all steps in a large variety of complex cases, including extensive bone and soft tissue loss.

K. Kaga, University of Tokyo, Japan

The purpose of this book is to describe hearing problems which are caused by various kinds of brain diseases in the central auditory pathway. The book’s most important feature is that anatomical data of CT, MRI, and neuropathological and neurophysiological data of ABR and MEG in patients are compared with neuropsychological

data. The book explains what happens to patients when the bilateral auditory nerve and the auditory cortex are damaged. Some patients can hear but cannot discriminate meanings of speech, music and environmental sounds. The author tries to explain how differences occur.

A Beginner‘s Guide to the Diagnostic Process

D. W. Molavi, Sinai Hospital, Baltimore, MD, USA

In pathology education within North America, there exists a wide gap in the pedagogy between medical school and residency. As a result, the pathology intern often comes into residency painfully unprepared. Completely illustrated in color, this book lays the foundation of practical pathology and provides a scaffold on which to build a knowledge base. It includes basic

introductory material and progresses through each organ system. Within each chapter, there is a brief review of salient normal histology, a discussion of typical specimen types, a strategic approach to the specimen with a list of what to look for, and a discussion of how the multitude of different diagnoses relate to each other.

Sudden Unexplained Death of Infants The Pathologist‘s Viewpoint

G. Ottaviani, University of Milan, Italy

Crib death (SIDS) is the most frequent cause of death for infants during the first year, striking one out of every 700-1,000. Scarce knowledge in the field of SIDS and its pathology has led to a continued and growing concern with finding an explanation to enable either prediction or quick diagnosis of the infant or term fetus. A systematic study of the autonomic nervous system and cardiac system has been performed on a large number of infants and fetuses who died suddenly and unexpectedly, as well as in age-matched control

cases. The neurological and cardiac findings are described here, and the relationship between SIDS and unexplained fetal death is discussed. This book helps pathologists, forensic pathologists, pediatricians, obstetrics, and neonatologists in recognizing all potential morphological substrata. It also puts forward a well-researched postmortem study for use in a standardized autopsy protocol for use in all cases of sudden unexpected infant and fetal death.

Suffering, Pain and Risks of Pain Damage in Fetuses and Newborns

G. Buonocore, C. Bellieni, University of Siena, Italy (Eds.)

Until relatively recently, neonatal- and fetal-pain have been denied. Thanks to the deeper understanding of their pathophysiology and to the most recent diagnostic tools, there has been a big development in this field, but the treatment of neonatal and fetal pain is still a controversial issue, and a central topic not only in specialties directly concerned with it, but also in bioethics.

This volume offers an overview of the current knowledge in this field. An international team of specialists evaluates neonatal and fetal pain from the different points of view: neurological, pediatric, gynaecological, anesthesiological. They also examine possible consequences of pain, even psychological, on the brain.

Emotion regulation skills should be mastered by early childhood, but many children enter school with mild or serious deficits that may not be addressed effectively or early enough. This book presents in-depth background and practical information on the subject, helping school professionals to craft interventions that are developmentally appropriate, relevant, and timely. The author identifies variables that contribute to emotional regulation, exploring complex relationships between emotions, stress,

and temperament, and examines challenges to competence at school (test anxiety, bullying) and at home (punishment for “wrong” emotions). The book offers strategies for recognizing specific skill deficiencies or more general needs, and reviews emotion coaching techniques, cognitive-behavioral methods, anger management programs, empathy training, and other interventions.

across the world. This volume grew from efforts at the National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (NC-PTSD) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to better understand, assist, and respond to the human experience of natural and man-made disasters.

F. M. Moghaddam, Georgetown University, Washington, DC, USA; R. Harré, Oxford University; N. Lee, Georgetown University, Washington, DC, USA (Eds.)

Global Conflict Resolution through Positioning Analysis begins with the daily disputes that result from our multiple social identities and evolving self-definitions, offers a new framework for understanding historical conflict, and brings vital new perspectives to current political and ideological battles. Twenty contributors examine scenarios as simple as a committee meeting of four people, as complicated as centuries-old

social movements and the shifting tensions in the Middle East. The book applies positioning theory to achieve a deeper understanding of conflict and its psychological resolution. The editors approach positioning from the micro (interpersonal) level all the way to the macro (intergroup and international) level.

$69.95164 p.


F. B. Tyler, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA

Communities are basic vital social units that provide the contexts in which people learn to live together to their mutual benefit. They are crucial to providing a richer and more fulfilling framework than we currently have for understanding and improving the quality of life for individuals and groups alike. In this book, the author presents a definition of a prosocial community. He identifies

its elements and relevant interrelationships, and provides the available evidence in support of those conclusions. This work shows why a prosocial community is essential to the accomplishment of the goals of community psychology and its related fields as well as how to create such communities.

M. Zangeneh, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, ON, Canada; A. Blaszczynski, University of Sydney, NSW, Australia; N. E. Turner, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, ON, Canada (Eds.)

As gambling outlets become ever more ubiquitous, more—and younger—people are risking their finances, family lives, and health in their, usually vain, attempts to be the winner that takes it all. This book brings together an international panel of 35 experts to present theoretical, clinical, sociological, historical, and spiritual perspectives on problem gambling, and test popular addiction

and disease models in the field. Early chapters examine the general psychology of gambling, before moving on to the irrational ideas associated with compulsive wagering, from belief in luck to illusions of control. The seven chapters in the second half are devoted to evidence-based interventions from a variety of clinical orientations. Case examples, Q&A sections, and a glossary add extra readability to the coverage.

(Statistics for Biology and Health)Hardcover


R. J. Cook, J. F. Lawless, University of Waterloo, ON, Canada

Recurrent events are important in scientific as well as everyday contexts. These are events that may occur repeatedly over time, and which generally carry either a positive or negative connotation. For example, repeated attacks of asthma for an individual, repeated insurance claims for a company, or repeated breakdowns in equipment of systems, have negative implications. The Statistical Analysis of Recurrent Events

describes how to model, collect and analyse data on recurrent events, in order to understand them better and improve processes in which they occur. Applications in areas such as cancer treatment, chronic disease and equipment reliability are discussed at length in the book, including details on how to implement analyses using available software.

Public Health Behind Bars: From Prisons to Communities examines the burden of illness in the growing prison population and analyzes the considerable impact on public health as prisoners are released. More than forty practitioners, researchers, and scholars in correctional health, mental health, law, and public policy make a timely case for correctional health care that is humane

for those incarcerated and beneficial to the communities they re-enter. These authors identify the most compelling health problems behind bars, pinpoint systemic barriers to care, and explain how correctional medicine can shift from emergency or crisis care to primary care and prevention.

Promoting Health for Working Women November 2007ISBN 978-0-387-73037-0



A. Linos, University of Athens School of Medicine, Athens, Greece; W. Kirch, TU Dresden, Germany (Eds.)

This book results from an EU-funded project on planning, implementing, and evaluating health promotion activities in the workplace, to address occupational risks and hazards to women. The book begins with methodology on health promotion in the workplace, followed by chapters on several health topics of particular importance to women such as nutrition, physical exercise, musculoskeletal disorders, smoking, reproductive health, breast feeding, female cancers and genetic screening, mental health,

alcohol abuse, sexual harassment, occupational and communicable diseases. The approach taken by the authors bears in mind that women have a dual role in society, especially in health matters, as they greatly influence the health habits of their family--thus awareness-raising and prevention activities specifically targeting women are a fundamental factor in health promotion for the whole population.

D. McQueen, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, GA, USA; C. Jones, International Union for Health Promotion and Education, Saint-Denis, France (Eds.)

Global Perspectives on Health Promotion Effectiveness is intended to be a critical reflection on the state of health promotion effectiveness in practice around the world. It examines the meaning of health promotion from regional perspectives, and explores regional strengths and weaknesses in demonstrating effectiveness. The book goes on to consider issues in public health such as tobacco, mental health, obesity, urbanization, war, and social determinants in

order to assess the role of effectiveness, and to examine methodologies for demonstrating effectiveness. Finally, the book looks at questions over the effectiveness of health promotion—the debate about the relationship between evidence, impact, and outcomes. The principal difficulty for the field of health promotion is how to show that it has a value—and to find an appropriate device that will enable valuation of its practices.

Health Benefits and Risks

E. Rifkin, Rifkin and Associates, Baltimore, MD, USA; E. Bouwer, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA

This book provides the reader with an understanding and appreciation of the risk assessment process and the ability to objectively interpret health risk values. Included is an explanation of the uncertainty inherent in the assessment of risks as well as an explanation of how the communication and characterization of risks can dramatically alter the perception of those risks. Risk statements tend to be presented as if they are authoritative, definitive, and based

on clear and unequivocal evidence, which leads to the illusion of certainty. In this context, this book compares and contrasts the differences between risk assessment and causality. Case studies illustrate the strengths and limitations of characterizing certain risks. Using the accepted risk assessment paradigm proposed by the National Research Council, these case studies illustrate which risk values have merit and why other assessments fail to meet basic criteria.

This book provides an in-depth account of all aspects of radioembolization, a relatively novel technique based on the efficacy of radiotherapy for the treatment of liver tumors. Radioembolization combines embolization and brachytherapy, thereby allowing delivery of high doses of beta-radiation specifically to the tumoral area in an attempt to overcome the problem of permanent radiation-induced damage to nontumoral liver parenchyma. Performance of the procedure demands close familiarity with the hepatic vascular anatomy in

order to ensure avoidance of vessels going to other territories. Furthermore, a detailed knowledge of liver function, tumor volume, and liver vascular shunting is needed in order to calculate the appropriate therapeutic dose in each particular case. All of these topics are addressed in depth in this book, and initial promising clinical results are presented.

W. A. Kaiser, University of Jena, Germany

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women, and its incidence and prevalence have been steadily rising in recent decades. This book describes morphologic and kinetic signs that are important in the analysis of breast MR images before and after contrast administration and in various pulse sequences. Earlier this method was regarded as high sensitive but low specific. Today, by utilizing all the information contained in MR data sets, the specificity of Magnetic resonance mammography (MRM can be greatly increased.

This gives Magnetic resonance mammography MRM a very high overall accuracy in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of breast lesions, making it possible to detect cancers as small as 3 mm with a high degree of confidence. This book is intended to help broaden and expedite the clinical application of MRM so that as many physicians as possible can make more accurate and confident diagnoses.

Incisional hernia surgery has witnessed important progress over the last years, not only as far as the pathophysiological and etiopathogenetic aspects are concerned but also from a technical point of view. Thanks to the recent findings on genetical disorders of the collagen, incisional hernia is today considered a true “disease of the abdominal wall.” Surgeons need to be aware of the different repairing techniques, in order to make an effective

choice and keep side effects under control. Today, on the basis of the most recent research on synthesis of collagen and collagenolysis, the treatment of the incisional hernia should not disregard the use of synthetic prostheses and biomaterials, both in the routinal surgical practice and in the most complex clinical cases. Surgeons, surgical residents, and medical students will find this volume very useful in their daily practice.

Diagnosis and Treatment

C. Ratto, G. B. Doglietto, Catholic University, Rome, Italy (Eds.)

This book is aimed at all physicians involved in the assessment and treatment of fecal incontinence. Its main purpose is to review the latest advances in the epidemiologic, socio-economic, psychologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects of fecal incontinence, in order to establish guidelines for effective treatment. Fecal incontinence is a frequent, distressing condition that has a devastating impact on patients’ lives. However, patients are typically embarrassed and reluctant

to acknowledge this disability, so they relinquish the possibility of being cured and remain socially isolated. Since fecal incontinence may result from various pathophysiological situations, an accurate diagnostic work-up of each patient is fundamental. Today, a wide range of therapeutic options is available, but making the correct choice is pivotal to the successful management of this condition.

Incompatible Solid Organ TransplantationDecember 2008ISBN 978-0-387-36680-7 approx. $295.00Approx. 350 p.Hardcover Reference Discount

Crossing ABO-Incompatible and Positive Crossmatch Barriers

D. Segev, R. Montgomery, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Baltimore, MD, USA (Eds.)

Two new options promise hope for the thousands awaiting organ transplants. Incompatible organ transplants permit matches between donors and patients with different blood types. While positive crossmatches extend transplant eligibility even to those with high levels of an antibody that typically results in almost certain organ rejection. This book examines these concepts and protocols, as well as describes the surgical techniques, that will enable thousands of formerly ineligible patients to

receive organ transplants. The focus of the book is primarily kidney, although chapters are also devoted to heart, lung, liver and pancreas. Written by the experts who discovered these protocols and procedures, this book includes contributions from leading transplant centers around the globe. The editors have been featured in major newspapers and on leading news programs and have performed several firsts in the area of transplant surgery.

Diagnosis and Clinical Management

D. F. Altomare, Policlinic Hospital, Bari, Italy; F. Pucciani, University of Florence, Italy (Eds.)

The pathophysiology of rectal prolapse is still uncertain and its clinical and instrumental diagnostic assessment needs to be clarified. The appropriate surgical or medical approach is much debated and has never been definitively stated. The rarity of the condition prevents randomized controlled trials from being carried out in a single institution, so the opinions of outstanding

leaders in this field are particularly important. This textbook addresses the best way of evaluating patients with rectal prolapse, the underlying pathophysiology, the different surgical approaches, the expected functional results after surgery and the management of complex clinical conditions associated with this condition.

C. C. Chapple, The Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield, UK; A. J. Wein, University of Pennsylvania Health System, Philadelphia, PA, USA

The overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome involves all age groups, both sexes and is frequently found in neurogenic patients. The symptoms of urgency, with or without urge incontinence, usually with frequency or nocturia, now defined as the overactive bladder syndrome, have become a hot topic in urology, gynecology and urogynecology. Epidemiological data show very high disease prevalence, particularly when compared with

other chronic conditions such as diabetes and asthma. OAB symptoms severely impact a patient’s quality of life, causing significant impairment of vitality and limiting his or her physical role, similar to diabetes. This book provides a timely and comprehensive update on OAB syndrome. It covers all aspects of OAB epidemiology, economics, pathophysiology, conservative, pharmaceutical and surgical.

Prostate Brachytherapy in Clinical Practice January 2008ISBN 978-1-84628-948-4



S. E. Langley, R. W. Laing, J. Shah, Royal Surrey County Hospital, Guildford, UK

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men in the USA and the UK and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in both countries after lung cancer. Now more frequently diagnosed at an earlier stage, prostate cancer may be cured by radical therapies. The development of prostate brachytherapy, using tiny radioactive seeds implanted into the prostate gland, offers

a curative day case treatment for patients with a much improved side effect profile. Long-term studies have shown this treatment to be as effective as radical surgery. As a result, brachytherapy has become the most popular form of treatment for prostate cancer in the USA and its use in the UK is rapidly increasing.
