"Chronic Cough'' is a clinical resource for practitioners treating patients with chronic cough. It is also a reference for any practicing or training clinician who wants to feel more confident in their understanding, workup and treatment of this symptom. As the diagnosis and treatment of chronic cough evolves, empiric treatments are giving way to objective testing. Research is driving new therapeutics and testing modalities, and diagnostic advances and multidisciplinary collaboration has led to more successful treatments. "Chronic Cough" addresses these advancements by covering the basics of what is known, what is not known, and what is currently being discovered about chronic cough. This practical resource will appeal to residents, advanced practice providers, and physicians in the fields of family practice, internal medicine, otolaryngology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, and speech-language pathology.

Tonsillectomy is one of the most common procedures that otolaryngologists perform. Early in residency, most trainees are heavily influenced by their instructors in tonsillectomy technique and rarely revisit these procedures later in training. In practice, their surgical technique reflects these early experiences. Opinions regarding tonsillectomy are often difficult to change, possibly because of this early exposure. In 2000, Dr Peter Kotai described a radical new approach to tonsil surgery: intracapsular tonsillectomy. He questioned why otolaryngologists perform traditional extracapsular tonsillectomy (which was designed for infectious diseases) for children with obstructive symptomatology. As 19th century German philsopher Arthur Schopenhauer wrote, All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Intracapsular tonsillectomy is a prime example of this acceptance process. When Kotai first described it, there were very few otolaryngologists who embraced this procedure. Over time, much data has been collected, and this procedure has gained increasing acceptance. This textbook was undertaken with several ideas in mind. First, it reviews the current understanding of tonsil and adenoid surgery in children, along with when to consider intracapsular tonsillectomy (IT) and when to consider extracapsular tonsillectomy (ET). It reviews the last 16 years of information regarding differences in the surgical techniques. Concepts and data supporting the use of the procedures are presented. Secondly, this text will serve as a surgical atlas for those in the beginning of training, those that have mastered many techniques but may have not had exposure to all options, and those that are looking for even more advanced surgical maneuvers that may enhance their results. This will be a new type of surgical atlas, one using different colors to depict basic and advanced techniques. Each photograph demonstrates specific points of the procedures, with basic portions designated in green and more advanced techniques depicted in blue. Full length videos of each technique are also included. The European Experience of Tonsillotomy is not included in this text because there are no centers in the United States experienced with that procedure. Tonsillotomy is described as removing the tonsil tissue to the level of the anterior tonsillar pillar with a CO2 laser. It does not approach the depth of dissection of intracapsular tonsillectomy and therefore provides difficulty with comparisons. The text begins with Dr. Peter Koltai's description of how he developed the concept of intracapsular tonsillectomy. Chapter One, Powered Adenoidectomy, introduces many concepts that are also common to tonsillectomy. Chapters Two - Four describe the authors technique of intracapsular tonsillectomy (IT), as well as those of Dr. Robert Ward (New York University), and Dr. John Bent (Albert Einstein Medical College). In Chapter Five, Drs. Goldstein and Gitman from SUNY Downstate review extracapsular tonsillectomy (ET) and include their interpretation of IT. In Chapter Six, Dr. Nina Shapiro, with Sophie Shay from University of California, Los Angeles, reviews her extensive experience with coblation assisted tonsillectomy, both for extracapsular and intracapsular techniques. In Chapter Seven, Drs. Rubinstein and Derkay from Eastern Virginia University discuss the results of both IT and ET from the perspective of treatment of sleep disturbances and compare the complication rates published over the past 16 years. In Chaper Eight, the recent controversy of post-tonsillectomy pain treatment is presented with recommendations from Drs. David Tunkel and Grace Tan of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Finally, in the last chapter, conclusions are drawn and questions for the future are presented.

Skin cancer, including melanoma and nonmelanoma cancers, is the most common malignancy in the United States and constitutes an evolving global epidemic. Although the majority of these lesions occur on the head and neck, the treatment of skin cancer crosses numerous medical and surgical specialties. Unfortunately, the preponderance of treatment occurs in a disjointed fashion as dermatologists, surgeons, primary care providers, and radiation oncologists endeavor to cure patients within their own spheres. Consequently, aggressive malignancies are often identified late, and patient outcomes are unsatisfactory, with potentially avoidable morbidity and mortality. Dr. Randal Weber, Professor and Chairman of Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and a world-renowned leader in the treatment of aggressive cutaneous malignancy, and Dr. Brian A. Moore have assembled a panel of current and emerging leaders in comprehensive oncologic care to clarify the challenges and advances in treating skin cancer of the head and neck.Unlike other anatomic regions, the complex anatomy, unique functions, and aesthetic import of head and neck structures demand great technical expertise and a collaborative approach to meet the expectations of patients. For the first time, a true multidisciplinary approach to cutaneous malignancy of the head and neck is presented, as international experts in head and neck surgical oncology, dermatology, Mohs micrographic surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, radiation oncology, and medical oncology present state-of-the-art techniques and promising horizons in the treatment of cutaneous malignancy of the head and neck. Whether in primary care or a specialty practice, this text should prove invaluable to any practitioner who treats patients with skin cancer of the head and neck. This is the only textbook on this subject that comprehensively addresses patient management - from diagnosis, treatment (in all forms, including chemotherapy and radiation), and reconstruction.This book makes preparation for actual patient care or presentations simpler and easier; currently, someone wanting to study this field would have to get articles, a head and neck surgery text, and a facial plastic/reconstruction text to gather all the information that is presented here.This book is suitable for ENT surgeons, plastic surgeons, general surgical oncologists, dermatologists, and even radiation/medical oncologists in endemic areas who treat patients with aggressive cutaneous malignancies. Each chapter has information that will be valuable to both seasoned practitioners and residents in training.

The atlas covers the normal microsurgical anatomy of the central skull base as well as the pathological anatomy of the tumorous and vascular lesions of this region. The book gives a detailed description of the contemporary approaches to the individual pathologies in the central skull base which have evolved in the last 15 years and represent the summary of the experience gained by the author through continuous neuroanatomy laboratory work as well as in performing over 1500 operations in the region. Complete or partial resection of the tumorous lesions, the exclusion of aneurysms and preservation of the patency of the internal carotid artery will be presented as well as the cost-benefit ratios of these direct surgical approaches to the central skull base. The large number of operations is a very valuable and unique source of technical data and statistics and allows a careful evaluation of the approaches to the region based on a precise understanding of the underlying anatomy.
