  • Sleep Disorders

    General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series
    • 1st Edition
    • Kerryn Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    Sleep Disorders - General Practice: The Integrative Approach. There are many types of sleep disorders, with different aetiologies, presentations and treatments. Generally, sleep disorders can be classified into one of four groups: hypersomnias, parasomnias, insomnia and sleep–wake schedule disorders. Some sleep disorders need to be referred to a specialised sleep disorders clinic for diagnosis and treatment. Other sleep problems can be diagnosed and managed within general practice and will be emphasised in this chapter. In the first part of this chapter we provide a brief introduction to the sleep process. In the second part, we outline sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea, narcolepsy and sleep-related movement disorders, bruxism and the parasomnias, which require referral to a specialised sleep centre. In the final part we describe the diagnosis and management of the more common but heterogenous sleep disorders of insomnia and sleep–wake schedule disorders.

  • Managing Pain

    General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series
    • 1st Edition
    • Kerryn Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    Managing Pain - General Practice: The Integrative Approach. One of the most common reasons for people presenting to a healthcare practitioner is the presence of pain. Taking an integrative approach to pain management is more, however, than adding in alternative or complementary treatments that merely provide another symptomatic approach to the patient’s treatment. Rather, integrative medicine means taking a holistic approach to the person’s experience of pain, assessing the relative contribution of all aspects of their pain, whether physical, psychological or spiritual, and applying the most appropriate treatment that evidence has demonstrated to be effective in the management of that aspect. Integrative pain management may therefore involve the judicious use of medications, stress reduction techniques, behavioural modification and re-examination of purpose and meaning. Any or all of these approaches may need to be considered as part of the prescription that best addresses the needs as well as the desires of the person in pain.

  • Bones

    General Practice - The Integrative Approach Series
    • 1st Edition
    • Kerryn Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    Bones - General Practice: The Integrative Approach. Bones are complex organs with many important functions, the most obvious being structural. They provide support for the body and the means by which muscles can insert into fixed structures in order to allow movement. They are also important in hearing, through the transduction of sound via the ear’s ossicles, and they protect other soft organs that are easily damaged, such as the brain, eyes, kidneys, lungs and spleen. Bone marrow, which is largely within the medulla of the long bones, is the centre for production of blood cells (haematopoesis) and an important site for storage of fatty acids. Bones also have important metabolic functions. This chapter describes the following conditions affecting bones: osteoporosis, rickets, osteomalacia, Paget’s disease and bone cancer.

  • Immune System

    General Practice: The Integrative Approach
    • 1st Edition
    • Kerryn Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    Immune System - General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series. The human immune system is extremely complex, with intricate multidirectional connections between our gastrointestinal, psychological, endocrinological and other systems, and communication via various neuro transmitters, cytokines and other immune system messengers. This chapter presents a simplified view of the principles of immunology, with specific focus on some of the most recently researched complementary therapies known to improve immune system health. A comprehensive listing of further resources and references is listed at the end of the chapter.

  • Psychiatry & Psychosocial Medicine

    General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series
    • 1st Edition
    • Kerryn Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    Psychiatry and Psychological Medicine - General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series. The most common psychiatric disorders presenting to General Practitioners are depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, and alcohol abuse and dependence. The prognoses of anxiety, depression and psychotic disorders are all improved by early detection and intervention, and so the GP’s role is pivotal in improving the level of functioning and quality of life of their patients. The GP is uniquely positioned to assess psychiatric symptoms, because they will have often seen a patient over an extended timeframe and so will have access to information about the patient and their premorbid functioning.

  • Endocrinology

    General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series
    • 1st Edition
    • Kerryn Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    Endocrinology - General Practice the Integrative Approach Series. Endocrine problems are important in the general practice setting, for a range of reasons. First, they are common enough to occur regularly, either as new cases or in patients managing a chronic illness. Secondly, they can cause serious and life-threatening complications if not diagnosed and treated. Thirdly, they often present a challenging diagnostic problem because of their often slow onset and their capacity to produce non-specific symptoms such as weakness, tiredness or weight change, particularly in the early stages.This chapter explores the endocrinological disorders including Pituitary disorders, Thyroid disorders and Adrenal gland disorders that are important for a GP to know about and to manage. The common model of managing endocrine problems is as a shared-care model with an endocrinologist.

  • Mind-body Medicine

    General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series
    • 1st Edition
    • Kerryn Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    Mind Body Medicine - General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series. The main premise of MBM is that the mind (intelligence) governs or regulates the body. Although mind is non-physical—and therefore MBM is in essence a metaphysical explanation for physical phenomena—mind uses the body to execute its purposes. More particularly, the mind, powered by consciousness, thinks and feels through the agency of the brain. Mind, brain and body are inseparable. Mind and intelligence make themselves evident by observable results in the physical world. A practical way of expressing this principle is to say that psychological states such as chronic stress, depression, anxiety and fear produce profound and clinically relevant effects upon the body. These effects have implications for health and illness. Psychological states and social context can have both positive and negative effects that manifest on many different levels, all the way from muscle tension to genetic expression. Over time the cumulative effects of negative mental and emotional states can take a heavy toll on the body. Conversely, research also suggests that psychosocial interventions can play an important part in ameliorating these negative effects and can assist in promoting healing.

  • Geriatric Medicine

    General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series
    • 1st Edition
    • Kerryn Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    Geriatric Medicine - General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series details the medical and consulting knowledge required of a General Practitioner when managing older patients. The world’s population is ageing rapidly, particularly in developed countries, where life expectancy is over 80 years for women and just under 80 years for menin many countries. Rapid ageing is occurring in less developed countries too, with the number of people aged over 65 years increasing dramatically in many countries. Consequently, much of general practice now involves care of older people in a range of settings—community, residential and acute-care facilities. It is easy to form the impression that ageing normally involves disease, disability and dependency, but while these are more common with increasing age, they are far from inevitable. Most 90-year-olds are not demented, maintain excellent mobility, are independent in personal, domestic and most community activities of daily living and live in their own home.

  • Allergies

    General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series
    • 1st Edition
    • Kerryn Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    Allergies - General Practice: The Integrative Approach. The purpose of this chapter is to introduce you to the basics of allergy, what the practitioner should know in order to plan an effective integrative treatment strategy, and to provide an overview of some therapies that have been used successfully to treat different aspects of allergy. For the patient, an integrative approach usually means making lifestyle changes and being more attentive to what they allow inside their body and their home. For the practitioner, it means becoming more informed about allergy and treatment options in order to make better treatment decisions for each patient.

  • Genetic Conditions

    • 1st Edition
    • Kerryn Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    Genetic Conditions - General Practice: The Integrative Approach. Genetic conditions are those that are directly or indirectly due to a pathogenic variation in a person’s genome that is present at birth. The variant may be inherited from a parent, or occur for the fi rst time in the family in that person in the production of the egg or sperm or at conception (spontaneous mutation or chromosomal change). This chapter covers Epigenetics, Genetic counselling and genetic services, Genetic testing, Chromosomal conditions, Single gene conditions and Inherited genetic susceptibility.

  • Herb-drug Interactions

    General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series
    • 1st Edition
    • Kerryn Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    Herb-Drug Interactions - General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series provides an introduction to herb–drug interactions. Complementary medicines such as herbal medicines are available through a variety of channels such as supermarkets, pharmacies, health-food stores, clinic rooms, internet sites and mail order companies. Many people self-select their products and do not receive professional advice about their safe and appropriate use. When using a complementary medicine, many do not discuss its use with their medical practitioner, either in the community or in the hospital setting. As more people take herbal medicines, the pressure increases on healthcare professionals such as doctors, pharmacists, naturopaths and herbalists to be well informed about the subject, and on researchers to fill the gaps in our current knowledge.

  • Blood

    • English
    Blood - General Practice: The Integrative Approach. This chapter examines the management of patients with haematological disorders likely to be encountered in general practice.

    • 1st Edition
    • Kerryn Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    Exercise as Therapy - General Practice: The Integrative Approach. Physical exercise involves the voluntary movement of the body, incorporating large muscle groups, with the goal of enjoyment, relaxation and physical exertion to improve the body’s structure and function. The different types of exercise are discussed but the avenues for exercise include sport participation, recreational activities such as bushwalking, fitness training such as resistance training, aerobic classes, yoga, Pilates, occupational and recreational work such as gardening, and incidental exercise such as walking to the shops or cycling to work.

  • Cancer

    General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series
    • 1st Edition
    • Kerryn Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    Cancer - General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series. Integrative cancer care requires a comprehensive and well-coordinated team or virtual team approach. The general practitioner with an integrative philosophy is well placed to coordinate appropriate screening, prevention, case finding and treatment services for patients at all stages of their journey. The cancer journey begins with awareness of risk factors and preventive strategies, and continues through diagnosis of the type and stage of cancer, decisions about conventional treatment and adjunctive therapies. Ideally, the integrative approach to cancer management improves a patient’s sense of self-control, reduces anxiety and aims to maximise the body’s potential to heal.

  • Child Health & Development

  • Respiratory Medicine

    General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series
    • 1st Edition
    • Kerryn Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    Respiratory Medicine - General Practice: The Integrative Approach. The human respiratory system is complex and finely tuned. Fortunately, two factors are of enormous benefit to us. First, there is a large reserve of function, greater than many of us are ever going to call upon; and secondly, the respiratory system can tolerate quite a degree of insult before symptoms appear. The predominant symptoms of respiratory problems that present to GPs are breathlessness, cough, sputum, wheeze and chest pain. Diagnosis is the important first step in medical practice, and the classic method of adequate history, appropriate physical examination, thinking about the clinical problem and then considering special investigations will clarify most situations. The four diagnoses that are most prominent and/or important in general practice are: asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer and infections.

  • Weight Problems & Eating Disorders

    General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series
    • 1st Edition
    • Kerryn Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    Weight Problems and Eating Disorders - General Practice: The Integrative Approach. This chapter discusses anorexia and bulimia-like disorders. These eating disorders are characterised by the use of inappropriate behaviours to control body weight and feelings, as evidenced by low body weight, high body weight, extreme weight-control behaviours such as vomiting and starvation, excessive exercise and binge eating. Obesity - General Practice: The Integrative Approach. General Practitioners in primary care are uniquely placed to help in the management of patients in all stages of overweight and obesity, and are able to maintain a therapeutic relationship with patients over many years. General practitioners should take a long-term view of weight problems, which can mean avoiding goals for weight management that are unlikely to be achieved.

  • Men's Health

    General Practice: The Integrative Approach Series
    • 1st Edition
    • Kerryn Phelps + 1 more
    • English
    Urology - General Practice: The Integrative Approach. Symptoms suggesting urological pathology are common presentations in primary care. These include recurrent urinary tract infections, frequency and urgency of micturition, nocturia and urinary incontinence. Acute presentations to general practitioners or hospital emergency departments often involve pain: acute loin pain, testicular pain and the pain of urinary retention. Some signs may be suspicious for malignancy (e.g. haematuria). In addition, lumps in the scrotum and testes are a frequent cause for patient concern. A systematic approach to these presentations is easily followed, and history and examination will provide the diagnosis in the majority of cases.

  • Brow and Upper Eyelid Surgery: Multispecialty Approach

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 40-1
    • Guy G Massry + 1 more
    • English
    Traditionally, professional medical and surgical society meetings, journals, and texts are single-specialty driven to accommodate specific specialists with information most important to them. A consequence of this structure is that it can create an unintentional and artificial barrier to sharing knowledge that can benefit patient outcomes. Cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons, more than ever, are seeking to know what other specialists are doing. This publication, the first of a series, focuses on the brow and upper eyelid rejuvenation and presents varied and complementary techniques from the core specialties of Plastic surgery, Oculoplastic surgery, Facial plastic surgery, and Dermatology to address all aspects of rejuvenation procedures of the upper face. Surgical and non-invasive techniques are presented concisely, focusing on time-tested as well as novel procedures. The most talented and accomplished subspecialists in their respective fields provide insights into such topics as Preoperative Evaluation for the Upper Eyelid and Brow; Aesthetic Enhancements in Upper Blepharoplasty; Asian Upper Lid Blepharoplasty; Prevention and Intraoperative Management of Blepharoplasty Complications; Ptosis Repair in Aesthetic Blepharoplasty; Adjunctive Fat Grafting of the Brow/Upper Lid; The Open Brow Lift; Adjunctive Skin Care of the Brow and Upper Lid; among many others. Specific techniques, Patient perspective and goals, and clear anatomic descriptions are presented with each procedure, with several offering technique videos. Guest editors Babak Azizzadeh and Guy Massry strongly believe that, with more and varied practitioners with different training taking on cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries or procedures, transparency of information is essential in order to expose the best information to all practitioners of this art and science.

    Depuis une vingtaine d'années, la médecine tropicale a développé un nouveau champ d'application, la médecine des voyages. Le médecin généraliste est maintenant fréquemment consulté par des voyageurs présentant des problèmes de santé au retour d'un séjour tropical ou pour des conseils et des recommandations avant de partir dans un pays « à risque » (vaccinations recommandées ou obligatoires, chimioprophylaxie, conseils alimentaires). Le succès des précédentes éditions et la constante évolution des traitements imposaient aux auteurs d'effectuer une mise à jour de l'ouvrage. Plus qu'une simple réactualisation, il s'agit d'une véritable évolution avec de nouveaux sujets, notamment un chapitre consacré à la médecine des migrants ainsi qu'à la santé internationale. Ce guide pratique, clair et concis, qui fait largement appel à des tableaux et des fiches « maladies », permet au médecin généraliste de trouver rapidement les informations utiles pour : - les précautions à prendre avant d'entreprendre un voyage en zone « tropicale » ; - les symptômes et pathologies du retour ainsi que l'interprétation des résultats de laboratoire ; - les maladies infectieuses, dermatologiques, gastroentérologiques et infections sexuellement transmissibles les plus fréquemment observées.Rédigé par une équipe multidisciplinaire, cet ouvrage est indispensable à tout médecin généraliste ou urgentiste qui se trouve confronté quotidiennement à ces patients au cours de son activité.
