Abstract

Children and adolescents increasingly participate in competitive sports, resulting in a higher incidence of acute and overuse injuries. While some sports injuries mirror those in adults, others are unique owing to the inherent weakness of the growing skeleton at specific sites. Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of these entities, and radiologists need to be familiar with the advantages and limitations of the various imaging modalities when evaluating the injured young athlete. This book, written by leading experts from Europe and the United States, covers a wide spectrum of sports injuries seen in children and adolescents. The first part comprises a series of introductory chapters on topics such as the clinician's viewpoint, the normal anatomy and variants, the imaging of articular cartilage, and the current role of ultrasonography in imaging injured young athletes. In subsequent chapters, each important site of injury is considered individually with the aid of informative images. The final part of the book resembles an atlas and presents the most commonly encountered injuries in the popular sports of football, skiing, water sports, tennis, and gymnastics. Throughout, particular attention is paid to the most recent advances in knowledge and imaging.

Abstract

Forensische geneeskunde is een van de meest mediagenieke en meest besproken takken van de geneeskunde. Maar de forensische geneeskunde is vooral van groot belang voor de nabestaanden en overlevenden van misdrijven. Het helpt bewijs te leveren van de gebeurtenissen. In deze grondig gewijzigde 3de editie legt Wim Van de Voorde op een toegankelijke manier de verschillende aspecten van forensische geneeskunde bloot. Dit gebeurt aan de hand van bestaande cases, relevante toepasselijke wetgeving en het nodige beeldmateriaal. Naast een update van de bestaande hoofdstukken voegde hij nieuwe onderwerpen toe:onderzoek van overlijden in Nederlandforensische (3D-) beeldvorming (virtuele autopsie)post mortem biochemie en microbiologieexplosiesforensic nursing“Forensische geneeskunde” is naast een leerboek voor studenten geneeskunde ook een mooi naslagwerk voor artsen, magistraten, advocaten, politiemensen en belangstellende leken.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage s'inscrit dans l'ambitieux projet qui consiste, dans le cadre de la collection à embrasser les connaissances actuelles en traumatologie de la main en trois volumes. Les deux premiers ouvrages sont consacrés aux procédés de recouvrement des pertes de substance cutanée, ainsi qu'à ceux de réduction et de fixation des fractures et luxations. Le présent ouvrage, s'intéresse précisément à ce qui ne se visualise qu'à l'exploration chirurgicale, dans les conditions d'asepsie et d'anesthésie du bloc opératoire. Sont abordées la réparation de l'appareil tendineux, des nerfs, des lésions multi-tissulaires, ainsi que les stratégies complexes qui doivent être mises en place en quelques minutes pour analyser les lésions, comprendre les besoins du patient, et reconstruire une main à la fois efficace et esthétique. Une place est réservée à certaines pathologies ne relevant pas d'un raisonnement inspiré d'un algorithme, parce qu'elles forment à elle seule un univers à part ! Enfin, parce que la chirurgie n'est pas une activité humaine figée dans le temps, cet ouvrage tente d'apporter des réponses à ceux qui se demandent quelle sera la traumatologie de demain.   La plupart des chapitres s'inscrivent dans une tradition pédagogique éprouvée, le cours magistral, accompagné de quelques cas cliniques, qui mettent en lumière les limites d'un manuel de chirurgie classique. Ils illustrent les subtilités de l'examen clinique, ainsi que les trucs et astuces des techniques opératoires.

Abstract

External fixation in Orthopedic traumatology is a textbook that focuses on the use of external fixation in the acute management of patients with serious orthopaedic injuries. The book highlights the indications for external fixation and provides an evidenced based guide to both the specialist orthopedic surgeon and the trainee. The manuscript is organised in 14 chapters covering the indications and surgical techniques for pelvis, lower limb and upper limb injuries, including detailed illustrations and clinical photographs that will enable the reader to rapidly visualise the structure of the construct and to plan the surgery accordingly. More general topics such as damage control orthopedics, the biomechanics of external fixation and medico-legal considerations surrounding the injured patients are also included to provide an overall picture of the Orthopedic trauma patient. The Combined experience of the editors and authors, their involvement in a number of external fixation system designs and their international reputation in the field contribute to making this textbook an essential tool that should be available to all orthopaedic surgeons dealing with injured patients.

Abstract

In recent years, research studies into sports injuries have provided healthcare professionals with a better understanding of their etiology and natural history. On this basis, novel concepts in the diagnosis and management of these conditions are now being explored. This timely book offers a complete guide to the latest knowledge on the diagnosis and treatment of the full range of possible sports injuries. Individual sections are devoted to biomechanics, injury prevention, and the still emerging treatment role of growth factors, which foster more rapid tissue healing. Sports injuries of each body region are then examined in detail, with special attention to diagnostic issues and the most modern treatment techniques. In addition, pediatric sports injuries, extreme sports injuries, the role of physiotherapy, and future developments are extensively discussed. All who are involved in the care of patients with sports injuries will find this textbook to be an invaluable, comprehensive, and up-to-date reference.

Abstract

Neurocritical Care: A Guide to Practical Management provides clear and concise guidelines for the clinician, on the management of adult brain injured patients. It steers the clinician through the complicated decisions that are demanded in these cases, involving initial assessment, interpretation of radiological investigations, referral to a Regional Neurosurgical Center, prevention of secondary brain injury and the management of complex clinical scenarios such as Status epilepticus. This book will prove an indispensible aid for making these critical decisions. Including tried and tested proformas for swift and accurate communication of information to Regional Neurosurgical Centers, this book equips the clinician to get the most out of these specialist services. This book also addresses the difficult area of defining futility and withdrawal of care, ranging from the role of neuro-radiological imaging in aiding these decisions to a discussion of the complex ethical dilemmas that the clinician is inevitably faced with. A comprehensive easy-reference, Neurocritical Care is essential reading for those working within the primary referring centre in Emergency Medicine, Anesthesia, Intensive Care and Surgery. John P.

Abstract

Trauma biomechanics uses the principles of mechanics to study the response and tolerance level of biological tissues under extreme loading conditions. Through an understanding of mechanical factors that influence the function and structure of human tissues, countermeasures can be developed to alleviate or even eliminate such injuries. Trauma Biomechanics surveys a wide variety of topics in injury biomechanics including injury classification, injury mechanisms and injury criteria. Both injuries sustained in automotive accidents and in sports are addressed. The interdisciplinary approach necessary in trauma biomechanics is stressed by showing the span from anatomy for each body region to engineering solutions for protection against injury. Injury tolerance values are listed, either currently in use or proposed by both the U.S. and European countries. Although the book is meant as a first introduction for engineers and medical doctors, sufficient references for scientific research are provided also.

Abstract

Brain injury remains one of the most dreaded complications of cardiac surgery. The range of injury is broad; while a stroke may be easily defined and diagnosed, more subtle injuries most definitely occur. There remains debate as to how these are diagnosed and there is a lack of standard definitions allowing inter-study comparison. If we are to have confidence in strategies that may reduce brain injury, we need to have confidence in the end-points used to define that injury. We need to better understand the phenomena associated with neuropsychometric testing; we need to fully elucidate the relationship between structural brain injury, embolism counting, and surrogate biomarkers; and we need an improved understanding of the clinical significance of abnormalities detected on postoperative magnetic resonance imaging. Brain Protection in Cardiac Surgery presents a detailed background of studies of neurological morbidity and neuroprotection from a range of experts in the field of neuroprotection, providing a detailed reference for clinicians in the field. The Editors have detailed connections between the different strands of injury be it the pathology, the imaging, the clinical and cognitive examination, potential biomarkers and have then provided summary reports of treatment strategies that may reduce such injury. As we look to the future, the design of studies attempting to reduce such injury becomes increasingly important and this book provides the fundamental background information to fuel interest, initiate novel prevention and therapeutic strategies, and inform the investigator how to develop and design their research study.
