Innovation with Information Technologies in HealthcareThis book is increasingly relevant for three rea-sons. First, HIT is an increasingly important part of everyday life in healthcare, but there is a large gap between reality and optimal use. Second, clinical innovation is becoming an increasingly well established science within healthcare, but the innovation experts rarely are HIT experts as well. And finally, healthcare in the US is in the midst of major changes, including mandatory insurance coverage (e.g. creating demand that outstrips than supply) and likely reimbursement changes (e.g.

Diseases discussed include kidney, adrenal gland, upper tract, blad-der, prostate, testes, and pediatric malignancies. Individual chapters include normal anatomy, imaging techniques, and pathology of each cancer type. The staging of the malignancy and what to include in the radiology report are discussed, and expected and complicated postoperative and post-treatment findings and recurrence are presented. Dedicated chapters on interventional and radiation therapy discuss their unique role in the management and treatment of oncology of the genitourinary system.

Multidisciplinary Care of Urinary IncontinenceA Handbook for Health Professionals

Multidisciplinary Care of Urinary Incontinence - a Handbook for Health Professionals effectively uses a multidisciplinary approach to assist health professionals in their care of patients with urinary incontinence.

Features 7 The use of case studies of common conditions illustrates multidisciplinary concepts in care and allows readers to identify with the type of patients they see and the role of the various disciplines in caring for the patient during the case 7 Chap-ters, rather than being ‘topic oriented’, are organized based on the common types of patients presented to the health care professional. This means there is input by different disciplines at var-ious steps of the case (i.e. nursing, physiotherapy, medical, surgical, geriatric and rehab etc.) rather than each discipline writing a separate chapter. In this way readers can see the specific role/ input of the various health professionals in caring for the patient during different stages of the patient’s management 7 The inclusion of simple practice points and tips in table form at strategic steps as-sists the reader to provide hands-on management of the patient with these ‘tricks of the trade’

T-Cell LymphomasThe mature T and NK cell lymphomas are rare, comprising approximately 10% of all malignant lymphomas. The incidence of T-cell lymphoma is variable around the world, with a higher incidence compared to B-cell lymphomas in the Asian basin. While the overall incidence of B-cell lymphomas has begun to decline in the United States, the inci-dence of T-cell lymphomas continues to rise. Over the last decade, a number of novel agents have been developed which target T-cell lymphomas and studies have identified novel genes and path-ways associated with lymphomagenesis in T-cells. This comprehensive volume examines the clinical and biological aspects of the T-cell lymphoprolif-erative disorders in adults and children.

Features 7 Comprehensive volume examines the clinical and biological aspects of the T-cell lympho-mas 7 Addresses the classification of T-cell lymphomas, the clinical features of each subtype, and the relevant molecular and genetic stud-ies 7 Outstanding resource for hematologists and oncologists 7 Provides the most up-to-date information on all of the T-cell lymphoma sub-groups and current and emerging therapies

Digital Imaging Systems for Plain RadiographyAdvances in digital technology led to the develop-ment of digital x-ray detectors that are currently in wide use for projection radiography, including Computed Radiography (CR) and Digital Radi-ography (DR). Digital Imaging Systems for Plain Radiography addresses the current technological methods available to medical imaging profession-als to ensure the optimization of the radiological process concerning image quality and reduction of patient exposure. Based on extensive research by the authors and reference to the current literature, the book addresses how exposure parameters influence the diagnostic quality in digital systems, what the current acceptable radiation doses are for useful diagnostic images, and at what level the dose could be reduced to maintain an accurate diagnosis.

Features 7 Valuable for students and practitio-ners 7 Helps ensure optimization of the radio-logical process 7 References current literature

Coronary VasculatureDevelopment, Structure-Function, and Adaptations

Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. The high metabolism and oxygen demand of the cardiac myocardium depends on both a high blood flow and a rich capillary density. For this reason, the growth of the coronary vasculature is vital, not only in early development, but also in the adult faced with various stresses. Novel technologies have enabled the discovery of the molecular mechanisms underlying the growth and assembly coronary vessels, and this volume covers the hierarchy of the coronary vasculature from its embryonic origins through its postnatal growth, adulthood, and senescence. Chapters address normal coronary development, coronary anoma-lies and their possible underlying developmental errors, coronary vessel adaptations to exercise training, aging, hypoxia, myocardial ischemia, and cardiac hypertrophy.

Features 7 Comprehensive and current 7 Useful for physicians and scientists 7 Covers coronary vasculature from embryonic origins to senescence

Contents General concepts of blood vessel formation and remodeling.- Prenatal coronary morphogen-esis.- Postnatal coronary morphogenesis and growth.- Structure-function of the coronary hierarchy.- Historical perspectives.- Coronary anomalies.- Aging.- Adaptations to exercise train-ing.- Hypoxia.- Myocardial ischemia and infarc-tion.- Cardiac hypertrophy.- Therapy for coronary circulation.

Oncoplastic and Reconstructive Breast SurgeryOncoplastic and reconstructive surgery combines the most up-to-date techniques in plastic surgery with surgery for breast cancer, providing optimal oncologic and aesthetic results by means of a single procedure. This book demonstrates why oncoplastic surgery represents such an exciting tool for surgeons who undertake breast surgery. Fundamental principles and basic concepts are clearly outlined, and diverse techniques are pre-sented by acknowledged experts from across the world. The emphasis is very much on a “how to do” approach, with detailed guidance and advice on the various techniques. The informative text is supported by a wealth of color illustrations, and accompanying videos of procedures are available via the publisher’s website.

Features 7 “How-to-do” approach to the techniques employed in oncoplastic and reconstructive breast surgery 7 Detailed guidance and advice from international experts 7 Ideal reference work for surgical fellows and specialists 7 Additional Extra Material
