  • New Directions in Behavioral Intervention Development for Pediatric Obesity, An Issue of Pediatric Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 63-3
    • Sylvie Naar-King
    • English
    Almost one out of every three US children is overweight or obese, with minority youth at highest risk. There are limited efficacious pediatric obesity interventions available for clinicians, and successful weight loss trials for minority youth are rare. Even fewer interventions have been shown to significantly improve clinical health outcomes such as adiposity, blood pressure, and cholesterol level, and maintenance of behavior change over the long-term remains a challenge Translation I research in which "bench" findings are applied to the "bedside" is uncommon in the behavioral arena. Thus, advances in our understanding of fundamental human processes such as motivation, emotion, cognition, self-regulation, decision-making, stress, and social networks are not being optimally applied to our most pressing behavioral health problems. This issue of Pediatric Clinics will focus on promising behavioral treatments "in the pipeline" that have been translated from basic behavioral science and are the process of refinement and proof of concept testing.

  • Hemostasis in Head and Neck Surgery, An Issue of Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 49-3
    • Carl H. Snyderman + 1 more
    • English
    Bleeding is a major factor that hinders visualization in head and neck surgery and is a risk factor for intraoperative complications and perioperative morbidity. Endoscopic approaches also pose significant technical challenges to managing expected intraoperative bleeding and vascular injury. The approach for this publication in Otolaryngologic Clinics is to provide clinically relevant information in a problem-based manner that encompasses assessment to identify patients with a high risk for vascular complications, pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative strategies to manage expected bleeding and major vessel injury during endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery for inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. Clinically relevant anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and surgical and interventional radiology techniques to manage bleeding are outlined and an algorithm for management of major vessel injury such as internal carotid artery injury is presented. Because skull base surgery is generally undertaken as a team approach, this information is relevant to the subspecialized ENT surgeon from rhinology or head and neck specializations, to neurosurgeons, to interventional radiologists, and to neurophysiologists who monitors intraoperative cerebral and cranial nerve activity for these operations. Carl Snyderman leads this issue with Harshita Pant and has composed topics and assembled an expert group of practitioners to provide information. The reader will find this a novel, focused, and indispensable resource on all issues of hemostatis in head and neck surgery.

  • Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia in Preterm Neonates, An Issue of Clinics in Perinatology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 43-2
    • David K. Stevenson + 1 more
    • English
    Preterm neonates remain at increased risk for adverse bilirubin-related outcomes, including acute bilirubin encephalopathy relative to term infants. Yet, most vulnerable neonates are likely to benefit from the potent anti-oxidant properties of bilirubin. Evidence-based guidelines for the management of hyperbilirubinemia in preterm infants, however, are lacking. High concentrations of unconjugated bilirubin can cause permanent neurologic damage in infants, evident through magnetic resonance imaging of chronic bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus. There is a growing concern that exposures to even moderate concentrations of bilirubin may lead to subtle but permanent neurodevelopmental impairment referred to as bilirubin-induced neurologic dysfunction. Our current use of phototherapy to decrease bilirubin loads and its potential photo-oxidant properties is a biological conundrum that has been questioned in the use of phototherapy for very low birth weight neonates. In this issue of Clinics in Perinatology, we provide updates on the current understanding of the biology, mechanisms of increasing bilirubin load due to hemolysis, decreased bilirubin binding capacity and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, as well as clinical strategies to operationalize the thresholds for hyperbilirubinemia interventions in preterm infants.

Sa prise en charge, toujours particulière et souvent stressante, ne fait cependant pas toujours l'objet d'un consensus général en relevant alors de pratiques individuelles, parfois sources de iatrogénie avec risque d’augmentation de naissances opératoires. Cet ouvrage résolument pratique, rédigé par les meilleurs spécialistes, vous guide dans votre diagnostic, vous offre toutes les clés nécessaires à la définition d'une stratégie lors de la surveillance du travail, et vous aide dans vos prises de décision thérapeutique. Les premiers chapitres détaillent la chronologie des événements : admission en salle de naissance, surveillance des contractions, du rythme cardiaque fœtal, du partogramme, place de l’échographie, surveillance par STAN, etc. Les cas plus spécifiques, tels la présentation par le siège, les grossesses multiples, l’obésité et l’utérus cicatriciel, font l'objet de chapitres dédiés. Enfin, les auteurs abordent deux points plus spécifiques : les répercussions sur le fœtus et le RCF des thérapeutiques prescrites pendant le travail, et l’interprétation des mesures de pH et de lactates à la naissance.

Cet ouvrage, issu de l’expérience et de la pratique de plus de 100 praticiens, est destiné à accompagner le Manuel diagnostique et statistique des troubles mentaux (DSM-5). Il présente 103 cas cliniques réels qui permettent de développer le jugement clinique et de l’appliquer à la complexité de la situation individuelle. Les cas sont regroupés pour correspondre aux catégories diagnostiques du DSM-5. Chaque cas clinique suit la même présentation : - une introduction présentant les particularités cliniques du groupe diagnostique étudié, suivies de suggestions de lectures, - l’exposition du cas clinique, - le(s) diagnostic(s), - la discussion avec l’expert, suivie de suggestions de lecture. Ces cas cliniques, qui facilitent la compréhension et la mise en situation des concepts et de la terminologie du DSM-5, sont précieux autant aux étudiants et enseignants qu’aux cliniciens expérimentés qui trouveront ici un écho à leur pratique quotidienne. Cet ouvrage a été publié dans sa version originale par l’American Psychiatric Association.

  • Antibiotic Resistance: Challenges and Opportunities, An Issue of Infectious Disease Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 30-2
    • Robert A. Bonomo + 1 more
    • English
    For many years, physicians and the public assumed that the discovery of new antimicrobial agents would outpace the ability of bacteria to mutate and develop drug resistance. Yet the development of new antibiotics has not kept up with bacterial evolution, especially since the late 1990’s. At that time a multitude of pharmaceutical companies abandoned antibiotic research because of strong economic disincentives. For example, it is challenging for these companies to recuperate the investment (typically in the hundreds of millions of dollars) made in developing a new antibiotic, which is typically prescribed for a few days, compared to drugs that treat chronic conditions like heart disease or mental illness. This situation has led the U.S. federal government to take a more active lead in addressing antibiotic resistance. Recently, the White House announced an action plan that includes improving surveillance, developing better diagnostic tools, accelerating drug development, and improving global coordination of antibiotic resistance issues. Equally important is the $1.2 billion dollars that has been pledged to fund these efforts. While we await the implementation of new policies, this issue of Infectious Disease Clinics of North America brings together leading authorities in the field of antibiotic resistance who discuss current issues including antibiotic stewardship, the changing role of the microbiology laboratory in determining antibiotic resistance in gram-negative pathogens, the continuing spread of metallo-β-lactamases... ESBLs and KPCs, antibiotic options for treating resistant gram-negative infections such as colistin and tigecycline, resistance mechanisms and new treatment options for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, emerging resistance mechanisms in aminoglycosides, issues with antibiotic resistance in immunocompromised patients, new β-lactamase inhibitors in the clinic, and resistance in VRE and Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, combination therapy for resistant gram-negative infections has been advocated by some authorities and the advantages and disadvantages of this strategy will be reviewed.
