Publications on aesthetic rejuvenation often start with the treatment-such as fillers or lasers-and then work back to the patient problem. Comprehensive Aesthetic Rejuvenation: A Regional Approach starts from the perspective of what the patient perceives as the problem region of the body. It then moves to the appropriate range of treatments that can be offered and discusses how outcomes can be improved. Topics include: The new growth agent for eyelashes Multimodal approaches to healthy skin Aesthetic considerations in ethnic skin Hair loss and transplantation New developments in less invasive fat and cellulite treatments Body contouring surgery Enhanced with more than 200 color illustrations, this volume is an essential resource for all aesthetic and plastic surgeons.

Die richtige Diagnose stellen...

Paroxysmale Storungen stellen Neurologen, aber auch Internisten, Psychiater und HNO-Arzte haufig vor ein differenzialdiagnostisches Problem. Man denke nur an die Diagnose "Schwindel" -- eine der haufigsten Beschwerden in der Medizin. Anfallsartige Storungen werden oft verkannt, weil die Kunst der Anamnese in der heutigen Medizin an Bedeutung verloren hat. Technische Zusatzverfahren konnen aber erst bei gezielter Fragestellung sinnvoll eingesetzt und interpretiert werden.

Hier finden Sie das gesamte Spektrum anfallsartig auftretender Storungen:

Diagnose und Differenzialdiagnose

Klinische Besonderheiten, relevant fur Anamnese und Beobachtung

Praxisorientierte Darstellung

Erstmals liegt ein deutschsprachiges Fachbuch vor, das sich ausschliesslich mit paroxysmalen Storungen beschaftigt. Praktisches, verstandliches Wissen direkt umsetzbar in der taglichen Arbeit.

...die optimale Therapie finden "

Schwindel ist ein haufiges Symptom. Er tritt nicht nur bei hochbetagten Patienten auf, sondern kann auch Kinder, junge und altere Erwachsene aber auch Hochleistungssportler sowie Raumfahrer treffen. Auch das Gehor kann in jedem Alter eingeschrankt sein jedoch heute dank, moderner Moglichkeiten, nahezu jedem Patienten wieder ermoglicht werden.

Gleichzeitig verlagert sich das Freizeitverhalten der Bevolkerung heutzutage in Grenzbereiche auf See, unter Wasser, im Gebirge oder auch in der Schwerelosigkeit, wo besondere Umweltbedingungen herrschen, die Hor- und Gleichgewichtsorgan in einem besonderen Masse fordern und gefahrden konnen.

In diesem Buch beleuchten Fachleute der Hor- und Gleichgewichtsforschung sowie Experten aus den Bereichen der Seefahrt, des Tauchsports, des Bergsteigens und der Raumfahrt die Besonderheiten des Hor- und Gleichgewichtssystems. Fuhrenden Experten aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum stellen ausfuhrlich und auf verstandliche Weise die modernen Moglichkeiten der Schwindelbehandlung und der Wiederherstellung der Horfunktion dar und bringen den Leser auf den aktuellen Stand der Forschung und Entwicklung. Dabei reicht die Spannbreite von den theoretischen Grundlagen uber die diagnostischen Moglichkeiten bis hin zu moderner pharmakologischer, operativer und rehabilitativer Therapie."

ENT Made Easy is the ideal clinical text for GPs, ENT trainees, medical students and nurse practitioners looking to manage common ENT conditions. Diseases of the ears, nose and throat are amongst the most common presentations in primary care, and many patients are referred to ENT clinics in secondary care for further medical and surgical management. To help reduce these referrals this book guides readers through the basic anatomy and pathophysiology and then, for each presentation, provides: an introduction which describes possible causes and the history required a section on diagnosis, including which examinations and investigations to consider management options, complications to look out for, and when to refer. This book offers practical guidance and so helps to fill the gap between ENT theory and the actual work experience. In addition to covering the common presentations, from allergic rhinitis to vertigo, via dysphagia and halitosis, the book also provides a description of the main investigations and covers the particular problems occurring in paediatric cases.

The Understanding Rhinitis chart is an overview of the causes, types and treatment of rhinitis. Images and text show normal and affected sinuses, both overall and at a cellular level. Heavy cover stock with protective varnish for durability.

The intention of the VIIth International Symposium on the Facial Nerve was to create a platform for an extensive exchange of knowledge and scientific infor mation between clinicians and basic research workers. This aim could only be realized on the basis of a common interest in the facial nerve, which unites the interdisciplinary scientific efforts of otologists, neurosurgeons, facial plastic surgeons, neurologists, neurophysiologists, and neuroanatomists. Therefore, a meeting of this kind remains in its aim to exchange ideas over scientific disciplines which do not come unique together normal conditions. The symposium has been held every four years since 1966. The VIIth sym posium was preceded by symposia in Stockholm (1966), Osaka (1970), ZUrich (1976), Los Angeles (1980), Bordeaux (1984) and Rio de Janeiro (1988), and marked an important milestone in the continuously developing knowledge about the facial nerve, its physiology, disorders, diagnostics and treatment. In contrast to the previous meetings this symposium extended in vitations to both clinicians and basic research workers. More than 350 scientists from 25 different nations met in Cologne, Germany, in June 1992 and their high-level presentations contributed to the overwhelming success of this international meeting. The symposium took place in the vicinity of the old cllthedral of Cologne, itself a vivid symbol of never-ending efforts to create something perfect and lasting."

First Published in 1996. The study makes an important contribution to newly emerging participative research methodologies in that it places the parents' view of the world at the centre of the analysis and in so doing, articulates the kinds of changes they think are necessary to improve the quality of life for their families and themselves. Due to an application of a social model, the book is important not just to families with deaf children and the professionals who work with them but to anyone who has an interest in disability issues.

This volume deals with tumours occurring in the following sites: Nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses Nasopharynx Larynx, hypopharynx and trachea External ear Middle and inner ear The classification of tumours arising from each of the anatomical sites listed above is given separately. However, since the same tu- mour type may occur in more than one site, the definitions and il- lustrations have been grouped together. The classification is based on the histological characteristics of the tumours and is therefore concerned with morphologically identifiable cell types and histo- logical patterns as seen with conventional light microscopy. Al- though many of the histological terms and definitions have histo- genetic implications, this classification is not primarily based on histogenesis. The term "tumour" is used synonymously with neoplasm. The term "tumour-like" is applied to non-neoplastic lesions which clini- cally or morphologically resemble neoplasms; they are included in this classification because of their importance in differential diag- nosis. The terminology adopted for individual tumours is based on their general acceptance and world-wide usage. Synonyms are in- cluded only if they have been widely used in the literature or if they are considered helpful in understanding the lesions. In such cases the preferred terms are given first followed by the synonyms within parentheses.

This second edition is more extensive and detailed than the previous one - now a reference of two decades standing. New technical methods have increased our understanding of many tumours, and the earlier group of monomorphic adenomas has been separated for easier identification, while clearly defined tumours - even if uncommon - have their own category. With reference to their differences in prognosis and treatment, the various types of carcinomas are now listed separately, and new entities have been adopted. The inclusion of the TNM classification of salivary gland tumours together with the more detailed description of the tumour-like lesions will contribute to an even better understanding.

Fibrin plays a prominent role in wound healing. It has a hemostatic effect, induces cellular response to wound damage,' and, by forming strands to build a matrix, assists in neovascularization and fibroblast proliferation. The concept of using clotting substances from human blood for wound manage- ment and to achieve hemostasis in bleeding parenchymatous organs can be traced to 1909, when Bergel [1] reported on the hemostatic effect of fibrin powder. In 1915, Grey [3] employed fibrin to control bleeding in neurosurgical operations of the brain. A year later, Harvey [4] used fibrin patches to stop bleeding from parenchy- matous organs in general surgery. It took more than two decades for this ingenious idea to be rediscovered. In 1940, Young and Medawar [8] reported on experimental nerve anastomosis by sealing. Similarly, Tarlov and Benjamin [7] reunited nerves with plasma clots in 1943. Tarlov improved the results obtained with clot anastomosing of nerves by avoiding tension at the nerve stumps. In 1944, Cronkite et al. [2] reported on an initial series of eight cases in which fibrinogen and thrombin had been used successfully for anchoring skin grafts.

Incidence of invasive fungal sinusitis has been increasing over the years. The understanding of its pathophysiology has improved with newer serological tests and diagnostic methods helping in earlier diagnosis and reducing patient morbidity. It was believed earlier that invasive fungal sinusitis is seen only in immune compromised patients but clinical reports suggest otherwise. More anti-fungal drugs are being added to improve incidence of patient survival. This book aims to compile all practical information about invasive fungal sinusitis into a single volume. Therefore, busy clinicians would not have to perform exhaustive literature studies to diagnose invasive fungal sinusitis. The book aims to provide an overview of diseases which could be mistaken for invasive fungal sinusitis and discuss how the management is different.

Book sections consist of clinical, microbiological, serological, pathological, radiological and pharmacological features of the disease and its management. Each section is important in today s context as it dynamically alters the management of the patient. Early clinical suspicion and rapid microbiological, pathological and radiological diagnosis with aggressive treatment with surgical debridement and medical therapy leads to favorable outcomes.

Vestibular Disorders, Third Edition, uses a case-study approach to outline the principles and practice of the care of patients with dizziness and balance disorders. The text reflects the combined perspectives and experience of a neurologist (Dr. Furman) a neurotologic surgeon (Dr. Cass), and a physical therapist (Dr. Whitney). Each case study contains relevant material regarding history, physical examination, laboratory testing, differential diagnosis, and treatment. This material provides a springboard for discussion of either a concept in the field of vestibular disorders or the diagnosis or treatment of a particular disease state. Practical, specific treatment options are discussed throughout the book. The book is written to a wide audience and educational level of readers including Primary Care Physicians, Otolaryngologists, Neurologists, Physical Therapist, and Audiologists. The case-format style of the book lends itself to use in teaching programs involving medical students, residents, physical therapy students, and audiology students, and as a reference text for clinicians at the bedside. Each of the cases from the first and second editions have been updated, the background material has been expanded and eight new cases have been added. Vestibular Disorders, Third Edition, aims to span the gap between existing in-depth tests and the problems that arise whenever a patient presents with dizziness.

The Diploma in Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (DOHNS) is now an intercollegiate examination, and can count towards membership of one of the surgical colleges of Great Britain. The DOHNS has evolved to fit its new role, leaving little up-to-date material available for candidates preparing for the written component. This book by former DOHNS candidates meets that need, focusing on topics that are likely to be examined. Each answer is accompanied by an explanation using current evidence-based research wherever possible. This will be an essential revision text for all DOHNS candidates. 'Applicable to medical students and trainee doctors in general practice as well as ENT and related head and neck disciplines such as neurology and neurosurgery. Each question is followed by the correct answer and clear and concise explanation. Indeed, it is the quality of this additional information that makes this book stand out from its competitors. It provides the student with experience and examination technique in answering these questions, but additionally it is a teaching volume in its own right. It is a credit to its enthusiastic and very competent young teachers in its content, design and clarity, and is another excellent contribution to our thriving specialty.' - from the Foreword by David Howard
