The Adult with Tetralogy of Fallot - The ISACCD Monograph Series (Paperback): M. Gatzoulis The Adult with Tetralogy of Fallot - The ISACCD Monograph Series (Paperback)
M. Gatzoulis
R1,356 Discovery Miles 13 560 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This monograph on the adult with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the first of a series dedicated to common topics in adult congenital cardiac disease (CHD). Published under the auspices of the International Society of Adult Congenital Cardiac Disease (ISACCD), the monograph provides comprehensive, timely review of the adult with TOF, the most common form of cyanotic CHD. The 6 chapters of the monograph, written by international authorities in the field, contain background information and current data on the major clinical problems facing adults with TOF.Patients born with TOF, although 'fixed,' are not 'cured'. Improving survival and quality of life for this ever-increasing adult population will continue to challenge the current and future generations of cardiologists. This monograph is intended as both an introduction to the subject and a timely, comprehensive review, more extensive than a review article and more up-to-date than a textbook. As such, this monograph should be of interest to the internist and the cardiologist who find themselves encountering adults with congenital heart defects with increasing frequency in their practice. Key references provided at the end of each chapter present the relevant literature, allowing for further reading.

This second edition has been comprehensively updated to reflect current clinical practice and the latest technical developments, including pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, array CGH, QF-PCR, non-invasive prenatal diagnosis and next generation sequencing amongst others. The first section covers basic principles, while the second outlines the more common situations where obstetrics and gynaecology interact with medical genetics. The third section contains real-life clinical case scenarios which have been selected to represent typical problems and to highlight areas which, if mismanaged, could have serious medico-legal consequences. Together with its accompanying website (www.essentialmedgen.com), it provides an invaluable guide to the use and selection of useful online genetic resources. This book is essential reading for candidates preparing for the MRCOG postgraduate examination, and any health professionals requiring a clear understanding of medical genetics and its increasingly frequent uses in obstetrics and gynaecology, where incorrect genetic advice can have serious consequences.

CHOSEN BY MAGGIE O'FARRELL IN THE GUARDIAN AS ONE OF HER BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR 'It's a slice of a life . . . a complex, intelligent, beautiful, thoughtful, rather lyrical book' -Cathy Rentzenbrink, author of The Last Act of Love 'A moving treatise on inheritance, not just of a disease like cystic fibrosis, but of our attitudes to living and loving, our sense of cultural and familial landscape, and how these intangibles pass down through generations. Stevenson picks apart her life like a strand of DNA to uncover just how we become the sum of our parts' Daily Telegraph 'A beautiful memoir . . . [Stevenson] is a novelist and a translator and her memoir is about translation in the larger sense. Translating the world is what we all do but she reminds us that one can hope - with a mind as intricately well read and original as hers - to translate misfortune; to absorb and see beyond it . . . Stevenson makes of poetry, fiction and philosophy a protective shawl for her story . . . Although intense she has a carefree wit' Kate Kellaway, Observer 'Motherhood, medicine and music are explored with a spellbinding intensity. It is a beautifully written and entirely honest memoir... Stevenson acknowledges the pain and overwhelming melancholy of being the mother of a sick child but she also manages to wholeheartedly celebrate the life of her family, who are still determined to live as luminous a life as possible, to make a kind of poetry out of the everyday' Eithne Farry Sunday Express 'Stevenson is a writer and musician, and her memoir is distinguished by its ravishing prose and sensitive understanding of the role that loss, misfortune and grief play in the story of our lives' Jane Shilling, Daily Mail 'Love Like Salt is a human triumph ... it's all told in the most mesmerising of words, no adjective is extraneous and Love Like Salt flows with poetic precision ... Ultimately, Love Like Salt follows in the hallowed footsteps of Helen MacDonald's brilliant H is for Hawk or Cathy Rentzenbrink's The Last Act of Love. These are not misery memoirs but reminders that life comes in all shades - that in the darkest moments, beauty and humour can be found' Francesca Brown, Stylist 'Did Clara taste salty when I kissed her? She did. She tasted of mermaids, of the sea.' Love Like Salt is a deeply affecting memoir, beautifully and intelligently written. It is about mothers and daughters, music and illness, genes and inheritance, writing and story-telling. It is about creating joy from the hand you've been dealt and following its lead - in this case to rural France, where the author and her family lived for seven years. And back again. 'I had always written, and until the birth of Clara I wrote for a living. Once I knew the Cystic Fibrosis gene had unfolded itself in our daughter's body, like a paper flower meeting water, I felt that to write, even if I had had time, or been able, would have been to squander a kind of power which was needed for tending and nurturing. Every moment became a moment in which I protected my baby. Some of it I did in secret, like a madwoman muttering spells. I thought of her as a candle, cupping my hand around her. A beautifully written memoir, in the vein of H is for Hawk and The Last Act of Love, about motherhood, music and living the best life you can, even in the shadow of illness.

R3,112 Discovery Miles 31 120 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Following on from the success of the international best-seller "Key Questions in Cardiac Surgery", the long-awaited KEY QUESTIONS IN CONGENITAL CARDIAC SURGERY will be the latest book in the Key Questions series to be released. Key Questions in Congenital Cardiac Surgery will systematically cover all the main topics involved in the current practice of a congenital cardiac surgeon. It will incorporate current guidelines for practice (such as from the American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association, British Paediatric Cardiac Association and European Society of Cardiology) and up-to-date information based on current literature. Each chapter will be structured to include the aetiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, indications for surgery, peri-operative management, surgical options and postoperative care. Possible complications will be discussed and the results of current practice presented. Importantly, there will be a section on basic sciences related to the practising congenital cardiac surgeon and a further section on congenital cardiac investigations with many images illustrating the variety of pathologies. Each chapter will also contain important references for further reading and greater depth of knowledge. The data and body of knowledge presented in this book is strictly evidence-based and is relevant to all congenital cardiac surgical trainees, at any stage of their training programme. It will provide residents, fellows and specialist registrars the necessary information to carry out their daily duties. Congenital cardiologists and paediatric cardiac intensive care unit specialists will also find the book useful in terms of the indications and surgical management of these patients, as they are integral to the congenital cardiac surgical process. Another important group is the nursing staff, physiotherapists and other professions allied to medicine working with patients with congenital cardiac disease either pre-operatively or postoperatively, as it will help to give a detailed understanding of the principles surrounding congenital cardiac surgical disease. Most importantly, the book is ideal as a revision aid for residents/registrars undertaking their Cardiothoracic Surgery Board examinations around the world. Although these examinations vary in format in different countries, this book is applicable to all cardiothoracic surgical trainees. Its concise, yet complete coverage of the important topics, make it the ideal guide to answer the key questions in congenital cardiac surgery that are asked within the confines of an examination.

Sandra Jenkins
R4,796 Discovery Miles 47 960 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Myotonic dystrophy is a multisystemic disorder. The epidemiology of DM is examined in the first chapter of this book as well as potential therapeutic strategies. The authors then go on to review the various involvement of the endocrine system in myotonic dystrophy and therapeutic strategies are proposed. The fourth chapter gives an overview on the diagnostic assessment and management of distinct clinical manifestations of CNS (Central Nervous System) involvement in DM patients, and the main topics regarding its pathogenesis are explored. The next chapter focuses on the strategy of neuromuscular blockage for patients with myotonic dystrophy, especially focusing on premedication, induction of anaesthesia, response to muscle relaxants, the crucial points of safe anaesthesiological care and other perioperative triggers. The development of biomarkers is of high importance in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases and thus is examined with relation to DM1 (myotonic dystrophy type 1) patients. Other chapters summarize the different rehabilitative approaches that have been proposed in this disease; the novel, interesting findings of therapeutic potential to target DM1 with small molecule kinase inhibitors and the promises his may provide to this devastating disorder; the controversial, phenotypical consequences of the interrupted alleles on DM1 patients; and the sleep disorders associated with myotonic dystrophies.
