This book provides a comprehensive overview of dislocation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), covering all relevant aspects, from aetiology and diagnosis to management. The treatment-oriented chapters describe nonsurgical, surgical and arthroscopic interventions, and the book closes by examining the role of total alloplastic reconstruction of the TMJ in patients with chronic jaw joint dislocation. Each chapter commences with a summary of key points and the clearly written text is supported by numerous clinical photographs, as well as by videos to which the reader will have online access. All of the authors are recognized experts in the topics that they discuss. Dislocation of the TMJ constitutes a medical emergency since prompt treatment is required in order to prevent the harmful sequelae that may arise once spasm of the muscles of mastication has become established, preventing return of the condyle into the glenoid fossa. If the condition is left untreated, radical corrective surgery may be required to restore jaw function and eliminate pain. In presenting state of the art knowledge on TMJ dislocation, this book will be of value for all involved in the management of the condition.

On any given day in the emergency department, the chance of confronting a medical-legal dilemma is significant. Emergency medicine and critical care practitioners may have to deal with malpractice claims, informed consent, protection of minors, resuscitation, operational issues and legal compliance requirements frequently. Substantial knowledge of the law as it pertains to their emergency care and acute care practice is essential. Legal Issues in Emergency Medicine is an invaluable resource for medical practitioners, legal practitioners and administrators in practice and in training. The book covers key topics that have direct relevance to day to day acute patient care practice. Each topic includes a clinical vignette, followed by a review of the legal controversy, current medical scientific evidence, case law and preventative solutions to the dilemma. This approach allows practitioner exposure to a wide variety of medical-legal problems, allowing a pre-emptive, informed approach to problem solving.

A common symptom of psychiatric and medical disorders, agitation often appears in a variety of medical environments.

Emergency radiology requires consistent, timely, and accurate imaging interpretation with the rapid application of clinical knowledge across many areas of radiology practice that have traditionally been fragmented by organ system or modality divisions. This text unifies this body of knowledge into an educational resource capturing the core competencies required of an emergency radiologist. This book of 85 index cases is organized by clinical presentations that simulate real-life radiology practice in the emergency department. Companion cases spanning the differential diagnoses and spectrum of disease provide hundreds more examples for a fast, focused and effective education called COFFEE (Case-Oriented Fast Focused Effective Education). This text can serve as a 'go to' resource for radiologists, as well as any other physicians working in the emergency department. It will be an excellent companion for radiologists preparing for initial board certification or re-certification by the American Board of Radiology.

Rapid recognition of life-threatening illnesses and injuries expedites appropriate management and improves clinical outcomes. False-positive interpretations in radiology have been identified as a significant cause of error, leading to unnecessary investigation and treatment, increased healthcare costs, and delays in appropriate management. Moreover, it is important that radiologists do not miss important subtle diagnoses that need urgent intervention. Pearls and Pitfalls in Emergency Radiology provides an outline of common imaging artefacts, anatomic variants and critical diagnoses that the radiologist must master in order to guide appropriate care and avoid malpractice lawsuits. One hundred selected cases – illustrated with several hundred images from MRI, MDCT, PET, ultrasound and radiographs – are presented in a succinct and structured format, highlighting key pearls and potential diagnostic pitfalls. The text focuses on emergent presentations of diseases in all body regions in both adults and children.

In vielen Bereichen der kommerziellen Technik, und ganz besonders in der Wehrtechnik, gewinnt die Infrarot-Sensorik an Bedeutung. Fur die Nachtsichttechnik kann man sich zwei verschiedene Prinzipien zunutze machen: 1. Bildverstarkergerate, die darauf beruhen, dass haufig nachts eine geringe Resthelligkeit vorhanden ist; 2. Warmebildgerate nutzen dagegen die von jedem Koerper naturgesetzlich im Infraroten ausgesendete Warmestrahlung, die ohne jegliche Beleuchtung auskommt. Dieses Buch ist fur alle geschrieben, die sich in das noch relativ junge Gebiet der Warmebildtechnik einarbeiten, wobei es sowohl fur Anwender von Warmebildgeraten als auch fur Naturwissenschaftler und Ingenieure, die sich uber diese Technik informieren oder selbst auf diesem Gebiet arbeiten wollen, von Nutzen ist. Es folgen technische Realisierungen, Konzepte und Konstruktionen von Geraten. Nutzen daran hat auch der Offizier an nachtsichtfahigen Waffensystemen. Es ist zur Zeit das einzige deutschsprachige Buch zum Thema Hoechstleistungs-Warmebildgerate.

Fur alle an der herzchirurgischen Intensivmedizin interessierten Leser sind die beiden Kapitel zur postoperativen intensivmedizinischen Betreuung aus der im Jahr 2010 erschienenen 3. Auflage der "Herzchirurgie" (Herausgeber: Gerhard Ziemer, Axel Haverich) in unveranderter Form in diesem Band zusammengefasst. Im Kapitel "Herzchirurgische Intensivmedizin" werden die wesentlichen Inhalte der postoperativen Intensivtherapie sowohl fur den Normalverlauf als auch fur komplexe intensivmedizinische Herausforderungen nach herzchirurgischen Operationen dargestellt. Das Kapitel "Intensivtherapie in der Kinderherzchirurgie" geht auf die gewachsenen Anforderungen in der padiatrischen Kardiologie und Herzchirurgie ein. In den vergangenen Jahren hat sich die neonatale Korrekturoperation auch komplexer angeborener Herzfehler etabliert. Der Anteil der Erwachsenen mit angeborenen Herzfehlern nach Palliativ- und Korrekturoperation wird zunehmend groesser. Dieses macht besondere Anforderungen an die kardiovaskulare Anasthesiologie deutlich, die sich mit neuen, speziellen Behandlungskonzepten in die Herzchirurgie, padiatrische Kardiologie und Erwachsenenkardiologie eingebunden sieht.

Focusing on a public health problem affecting millions of people of all ages, the second edition of Concussive Brain Trauma: Neurobehavioral Impairment and Maladaptation reflects Dr. Rolland S. Parker's more than 25 years of neuropsychological practice and research in traumatic brain injury and stress, and his prior experience as a clinical psychologist.

The outbreak of anthrax infections that followed September 11, 2001, showed all too clearly that while we can defend ourselves against bioterrorism, our defenses need improvement. What's most important is the ability to recognize the associated disease, and recognize them quickly. Yet, many in the medical world are unfamiliar with the characteristic signs and symptoms of bioterrorism agents and are unable to differentiate between diseases whose symptoms appear almost identical. While a plethora of information on such diseases is available, finding it is time consuming.

Bioterrorism: Field Guide to Disease Identification and Initial Patient Management is an accessible resource that helps first-responders to quickly recognize the signs and symptoms caused by exposure to bioterrorism agents. It provides enough information to initiate treatment while a definitive diagnosis is being determined and presents measures for preventing contamination of those involved in the victims' medical management.

A special quick-reference foldout chart features a matrix linking 180 symptoms to 17 diseases and 90 differential diagnosis. In bulleted format, the book includes for each pathogenic agent:

" A brief description
" Signs and symptoms
" Diagnostic features
" Lab tests and expected results
" Treatment (specific drug regimens)
" Prophylaxis (specific drug regimens)
" Precautionary measures

This book is a potentially life-saving resource that can be thrown into a medical bag and kept there, hopefully forever unused. But if needed, it is a resource that can quickly provide information that will prevent secondary infections, improve site safety, and buy life-saving time for victims.
