Mind Maps en Anatomía Patológica

El proyecto nace a partir de la idea del Profesor Horacio Oliva, Catedrático de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, quien hace ya algunos años vislumbró la necesidad creciente que tenían los estudiantes de poder disponer de materiales de estudio cada vez más concisos que aportaran una visión de conjunto a cada una de las materias. Así, el Dr. Javier Pardo, Catedrático de Anatomía Patológica de la Universidad de Navarra, concibe este proyecto a partir de la creación de esquemas que responden al modelo de los mind maps (mapas mentales). Un mapa mental es un diagrama planificado alrededor de una idea o concepto, que se subdivide en estratos de variable importancia. Se atribuyen a Tony Buzan o a Alfred Korzybski (1950-1960), en los cuales la colocación de los diferentes elementos a partir de una idea central es de gran importancia, ya que dichos esquemas tienen un patrón de lectura determinado. Así, un mind map debe leerse empezando por la derecha de arriba a abajo y acabar por la izquierda también de arriba a abajo. Con esta presentación no lineal de los conceptos se estimula la identificación rápida de las principales ideas y la capacidad de solucionar problemas. En la obra se presentan 110 mind maps que abarcan tanto Patología General (56) como Patología Quirúrgica (54). En el primer bloque, las diferentes patologías se agrupan en: introducción, patología vascular, patología de la inflamación, inmunopatología, patología infecciosa, oncopatología, patología infantil y del envejecimiento. En el segundo, se tratan una gran variedad de enfermedades que afectan a diferentes órganos/sistemas (patología del útero, enfermedad hepática alcohólica, tumores óseos, linfomas no Hodgkin, infecciones del sistema nervioso, etc.). Asimismo, cada mind map incluye una foto en la esquina superior derecha que ilustra de forma muy representativa la patología que se trata en cada uno de ellos. Otro elemento de gran importancia en la elaboración de estos esquemas es el color, ya que es importante marcar un código de colores que le permita al estudiante asociar cada color con un aspecto de la patología (concepto, etiología, fisiopatología, etc.). La obra es de gran utilidad para los estudiantes, pues cubre toda la asignatura de Anatomía Patológica.

New technologies in urology involves minimal invasion, less recovery time, and organ-sparing techniques. This issue addresses those cutting-edge technologies that are currently being researched and are just entering clinical practice. Therefore, a main goal of this issue is to bring the information about these technologies to all practicing urologists so that they are knowledgeable and equipped to master them. Focus is given to new imaging modalities, like virtual endoscopy, molecular imaging, and image fusion. The issue also presents articles on robotics, laparoscopic surgery and endoscopy, and nanotechnology.

Socioeconomics of Health Care and the Practice of Urology, An Issue of Urologic Clinics

In this unique issue, the content is devoted to the socioeconomics of healthcare. Healthcare economics provide the underpinning of urologic practice for today and tomorrow. All of our clinical endeavors are dependent on the economic realties of the twenty-first century. This issue elucidates some of the challenges that are facing patients, physicians, and society. There are two major sections, The Healthcare Landscape: The Big Picture and Urologic Practice: Current Issues and Future Prospects. In the first section, articles address the history and demographics of healthcare and following this, several authors provide different proposals for healthcare reform. These proposals are followed by more parochial urologic issues which include residency training, certification and recertification, urologic research, practice management, and the impact of medical malpractice.

Diagnostic Pediatric Surgical Pathology

There are many tomes available detailing the histopathological features of both general surgical pathology entities and organ specific pathologies. In addition, several texts present aspects of developmental, fetal and placental pathology. However, for the specialist paediatric pathologist with a significant paediatric surgical specimen workload, and for the practising general surgical pathologist faced with reporting paediatric surgical specimens, although information regarding many of the specific entities affecting childhood is available in the former texts, such information requires searching of many disjointed books. Therefore, the aim of this publication is to present a comprehensive and detailed account, which brings together and covers all, or at least most, paediatric surgical pathological entities in a single volume, to allow rapid access for day-to-day use by practising histopathologists.
