The issue is of relevance not only tor the novice contemplating a transition to laparoscopy or robotics but also for the seasoned minimally invasive surgeon seeking to enhance skills and augment his or her practice.

  • Médecine légale clinique

    Médecine de la violence - Prise en charge des victimes et agresseurs
    • 1st Edition
    • Éric Baccino
    • French
    La violence est devenue un thème majeur de préoccupation et de débat, non seulement dans les champs légal et social, mais aussi dans celui de la santé. Depuis janvier 2011 la France s'est dotée d'une organisation qui intègre dans les hôpitaux l'exercice de la médecine légale sous tous ses aspects. A côté de la médecine légale traditionnelle, celle qui s'occupe du cadavre (ou médecine légale thanatologique), la médecine légale clinique − médecine légale du vivant − occupe une place qui doit dès maintenant être considérée comme prépondérante en termes d'activité. Cet ouvrage est le premier à traiter la violence sous l'angle médical, en présentant la prise en charge clinique des victimes qui la subissent et celle des auteurs qui la commettent. Il permettra aux nombreux médecins confrontés à la violence de mieux en appréhender tous les aspects (médical, social et judiciaire) et d'être des acteurs efficaces si leur assistance est demandée.

  • Evidence-Based Review in Policy and Practice, An Issue of Nursing Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 49-4
    • Alan Pearson
    • English
    Evidence synthesis is the evaluation or analysis of research evidence and opinion on a specific topic to aid in decision-making in health care. Although the science of evidence synthesis has developed most rapidly in relation to the meta-analysis of numerical data linked to theories of cause and effect, the further development of theoretical understandings and propositions of the nature of evidence, its role in health care delivery, and the facilitation of improved global health have increased rapidly since 2000. The articles appearing in this issue examine the role of evidence synthesis in nursing and health care and are written by expert translational scientists from across the world. Three introductory articles overview evidence synthesis and its role in evidence-based health care; methods, issues, and trends in the systematic review of health care evidence; and the development of a robust evidence base for nursing. Subsequent articles explore the impact of systematic reviews on policy and practice in a variety of settings, including perioperative care, pediatrics, rehabilitation and long-term/continuing care, mental health, and public health. The final articles discuss the impact of evidence on health policy and practice and the complexities of translating evidence into policy and practice. These articles show the importance of synthesizing evidence and translating policy and practice into action in our quest to improve health care and health outcomes.

  • Infectious Diseases in Pregnancy, An Issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 41-4
    • Geeta K. Swamy
    • English
    This issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America provides a summary of several more common maternal-fetal-infan... infectious diseases. Several experts in the field of maternal and perinatal infection have contributed to this issue to provide an overview of the up-to-date preventive strategies, screening and diagnostic methods, and treatment guidelines. While guidelines such as universal vaccination to prevent influenza during pregnancy are fairly well justified by supporting data, there is much uncertainty about the appropriate screening guidelines for conditions such as cytomegalovirus, where the lack of a proven effective treatment diminishes the value of screening. Moreover, increasing issues of antibiotic resistance and the lack of significant advancement in developing newer effective agents imply that both providers and health care facilities must follow guidelines of antimicrobial stewardship (ie, coordinated efforts to improve and measure the appropriate use of antimicrobials). It is our hope that this issue will aid providers in navigating these complex issues while also understanding the current state-of-the-science

  • Current Controversies in Perinatology, An Issue of Clinics in Perinatology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 41-4
    • Robert H. Lane
    • English
    Neonatal-perinatal medicine has a strong history of evidence based practice but unfortunately there remain many areas of uncertainty and unproven hypotheses and treatments that may harm our highly vulnerable patients. When new ideas are introduced into the labor and delivery room or the NICU we have to evaluate these procedures and therapies before they become accepted as standards of care. We need to learn from the past lessons of grey baby syndrome and chloramphenicol and of kernicterus and sulfonamide antibiotics where therapeutic good intentions actually did more harm than good and increased the mortality rate of premature babies in the NICU.This proposed edition addresses a broad range of current topics in perinatal neonatal practice. The AAP has just issued new guidelines for the approach to a neonate exposed to maternal genital herpes virus infection. The recommendations were not evidence based and are highly controversial as well as confusing. These topics are addressed in a scholarly and objective manner to both address the controversy and help the practitioner make informed decisions.

    Commonly referred to as the "sonography bible" by many of its past and current users, Betty Tempkin’s Sonography Scanning, 4th Edition is the go-to guide for producing diagnostic sonograms for physicians. Featuring an updated two-color design, this new edition covers the latest ultrasound scanning principles along with step-by-step instructions for scanning and documenting images. The text also incorporates clinical skills, professionalism, image labeling, image techniques, case presentations, handling of ultrasound equipment, and the universal method for scanning and documenting pathologies. The scanning protocols follow AIUM guidelines and provide information on patient prep, transducers, breathing techniques, comprehensive surveys, and required images. Also included are the location of specific vessels or organs, anatomy and physiology, sonographic appearance, and normal variations."Overall, this book is an excellent resource for novice sonography students, but also provides a useful reference book for the more experienced sonographer."
