vollsten hat die Arbeit von RANKE, der von klinischen Gesichtspunkten aus die pathologisch-anatomische Forschung der Lungentuberkulose aufnahm,"ge wirkt. Auf Grund der Arbeiten eines Teiles der vorher genannten Forscher hat er in einer wahrhaft klassischen Arbeit in den Jahren 1916 und 1919 seine Ge danken niedergelegt. In Anlehnung an die Stadieneinteilung der Syphilis, die auch schon PETRUSCHKY u. a. andeutungsweise durchgefiihrt haben, hat RANKE den Ablauf der Erkrankung in drei Stadien festgelegt. Innig verknupft mit den pathologisch-anatomischen Veranderungen dieser drei Stadien hat er bestimmte Reaktionserscheinungen (Allergien) gefunden. Diese Allergien spielen eine hervorragende Rolle einerseits fUr die Ausbreitung, andererseits fur die Beschrankung der Erkrankung auf einzelne Herde. In groBen Zugen ist der Gedankengang RANKES auf Grund eingehender pathologisch anatomischer Studien und klinischer Beobachtungen etwa folgender: Wird der Korper, was meist im Kindesalter geschieht, zum ersten Male durch den Tuberkulosebazillus infiziert, so tritt meist als erste Schadigung in der Lunge eine pneumonische, spater verkasende Herderkrankung auf. Diese, die zunachst ohne ortliche weitere Ausdehnung bleibt, ruft die erste Allergie, d. h. Reaktionsanderung im Sinne proliferativer Vorgange des Korpers hervor."

R3,532 Discovery Miles 35 320 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The possibilities of surgical treatment of spinal disorders have expanded enormously in recent years. Movement conservation, reduction of access routes, and the use of microscope and endoscope have reduced risks and significantly improved the chances of success. However, only by knowing and mastering the various conservative and minimally invasive surgical techniques can one work on individual treatment for the patient. This book reviews important literature about spinal disorders, describes surgical anatomy of the spine, etiology, pathology, clinical signs, imagine methods of the spinal diseases, and specific techniques of the spinal procedures. The chapter about cervical and lumbar degenerative disc disease will bring new knowledge in the possible therapy, including endoscopic and minimally invasive surgical procedures. The chapter about infections of the spine gives new information about conservative and surgical treatment as well as postoperative complications. The possibilities in surgical treatment in spine tumors will be written in a separate chapter. This chapter provides quite an extensive coverage of tumors related to the spine, and information on their management and treatment, including operative techniques and approaches with spine stabilization. Spinal trauma chapter brings together information on state-of-the-art clinical imaging, including multidetector CT and high-field MRI techniques and the pathophysiology, neurologic evaluation, medical management, surgical treatment, and postoperative assessment of spine trauma and spinal cord injury. Techniques for spinal procedures include the most common types of instrumented procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, cervical arthroplasty, occiput C1, and C2 instrumentation, lumbar microdiscectomy, lumbar arthroplasty, posterior, transforaminal and anterior lumbar interbody fusion, and indications and techniques of revision spine surgery.

R1,099 Discovery Miles 10 990 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This book explores the unique aspects involved in the management of ECMO patients such as physiopathology and indications, setting up the device, monitoring ECMO and the patient, troubleshooting, ethical aspects and rehabilitation. For the past eight years, management of acute heart failure and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) patients has been improved by the development of short-term assistance devices, with ECMO as a first line treatment. This highly informative book provides essential insights for ICU nurses at ECMO centers around the world, who face the substantial challenges involved in the management of ECMO patients. Above all, it meets their training needs with regard to bedside monitoring for these patients, which has become a major issue. The editors and most of the contributors serve at La Pitie-Salpetriere ICU, France, which, in terms of the number of admissions and major publications produced, is one of the world's leading authorities on ECMO.

R7,013 Discovery Miles 70 130 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book analyses and describes the whole spectrum of technical elements related with non-invasive mechanical ventilators technologies, ventilator modes and complementary technologies for correct interpretation and clinical indications. With the aim of addressing different topics, authors have presented in each chapter and section a rigorous summary of non-invasive mechanical ventilators principles and technologies, as well as clinical indications in order to understand lung function. Moreover, this book also offers a comprehensive examination of how mechanical ventilators interact, for example, in case of asynchrony (diagnosis/treatment), and other tools. The patient-mechanical ventilator interactions sections have been planned from a physiological basis, as they include physical description of the ventilator elements and the non-invasive algorithms that allow adequate patient-ventilator interaction. We describe the correct interpretation and monitoring of positive pressure, airflow and volume waveforms, leakages impact and analysis and interface options and technology (facial mask, nasal mask and other new interface). From a practical point of view, authors describe non-invasive mechanical ventilators device selection, indications and evaluation in different clinical conditions, acute and chronic setting from hospital (emergency/critical care/anesthesiology/pneumology) and from home non-invasive mechanical ventilation. We consider this to be an original and exhaustive book crucial and practical for the correct understanding of mechanical ventilators principles of technology and science of non-invasive mechanical ventilation.

Die ersten ernst zu nehmenden Versuche, dic Lungentuberlmlose durch chirurgische Eingriffe zu heilen, fallen in die Jahre 1888 und 1890. Damals trugen Quincke und C. Spengler uber cavernosen Lungenabschnitten die Thoraxwand ab, um dem Lungengcwebe eine ausgiebige Retraction zu ermoglichen. Allerdings musste dies chirurgische Verfahren zunachst vorubergehend zugunsten einer anderen Behandlungs methode zurucktreten. Es war dies die von Murphy und gleichzeitig unabhangig von Forlanini an gewandte Lungenkollapstherapie durch kunstlichen Pneumothorax. Der Wunsch, der chirurgischen Behandlung wieder ihre Rechte einzuraumen, trat sehr bald um so lebhafter hervor, als es sich zeigte, dass eine ganze Anzahl von Lungentuberkulosen der Pneumothorax therapie wegen bestehender Verwachsungen nicht zuganglich waren. Besonders Brauer beschaftigte sich viel mit diesen Fragen und kam zu der Uberzeugung, dass eine ausgedehnte Wegnahme der knochernen Thoraxwand ebenso einen Lungenkollaps hervorrufen musse, wie der kunstliche Pneumothorax. Seinem Vorschlage gemass operierte zunachst Friedrich, dann Sauerbruch, spaterhin Wilms eine grosse Anzahl von Fallen. Es war naturlich, dass sehr bald die Art des Eingriffes in der verschiedensten Weise modifiziert wurde, zumal da die zuerst angewandte Methode Friedrichs der totalen Brustwandentknochung eine ziemlich hohe Mortalitat aufwies. Friedrich nannte den Eingriff "Pleuropneumolysis thoracoplastica," wahrend jetzt der von C. Spengler herruhrende Name "Extrapleurale Thorakoplastik" der gebrauchliche ist. In den letzten Jahren sind an Tuberkulosen Eingriffe der verschiedensten Art vorgenommen worden. Besonders hat Sauerbruch in Zurich grosse Erfahrungen gesammelt und auf Grund seines Materials gewisse strittige Punkte klaren konnen."
