Clinical Case Studies on Medication Safety provides real and
simulated scenarios about safety issues related to medication,
including Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs), medication errors, and
Drug Related Problems (DRPs). The book explains real-life case
management, including details about adverse drug reactions,
mistakes during drug administration, drug avoidance, and drug-drug
interactions with a goal of improving patient care. With over 150
case studies, including cases from alternative medicine and
traditional medicine, this book will help medical and health
sciences educators, students, healthcare professionals, and other
readers apply their knowledge and skills to solve cases for better
patient care.
Metabolomics: A Path Towards Personalized Medicine integrates
environmental factors of genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics,
providing a bridge to resolve gaps between fundamental science and
applications in clinical medicine and population health. The
concept of personalized medicine or precision medicine is of great
interest in biomedical research as it helps bring about new drug
discovery and biomarker identification. In addition, it helps
clinicians prescribe the right medicine to the right person with
maximum efficacy and minimum toxicity, allowing clinicians to
further predict the susceptibility to disease onset of vulnerable
populations. The book is ideally suited for researchers and
postgraduate students who are interested in clinical and
non-clinical studies where metabolites are used for the
identification of disease and therapeutic targets.
Transdiagnostic Group Therapy Training and Implementation provides
clinicians with a user-friendly roadmap for delivering a brief,
transdiagnostic group therapy that can be used for patients
suffering from stress, depression, anxiety, and a range of other
related mental health problems. This is supplemented by over an
hour of training videos hosted on the book's companion website,
visually demonstrating how to effectively implement the therapy.
The book introduces the empirical research that has led to a
greater emphasis on transdiagnostic treatment approaches, and
details how to implement each phase of the therapy, supported by
clinical examples to make practical application easier.
Over three decades ago, PHTLS: Prehospital Trauma Life Support
transformed the assessment and management of trauma patients in the
field, improving the quality of trauma patient care and saving
lives around the world. The tenth edition of this trusted,
comprehensive resource continues the PHTLS mission to promote
excellence in trauma patient management by all prehospital care
practitioners through global education. First developed by the
National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) in
the early 1980s in cooperation with the American College of
Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS-COT), this proven program
includes updated medical content to reflect current, evidence-based
knowledge and practice. PHTLS promotes critical thinking as the
foundation for providing quality care, knowing that EMS
practitioners make the best decisions on behalf of their patients
when given a solid foundation of knowledge and key principles to
fuel their critical-thinking skills. A Clear Approach to Assessing
a Trauma Patient In the field, seconds count. The tenth edition of
PHTLS: Prehospital Trauma Life Support teaches and reinforces the
principles of rapidly assessing a trauma patient using an orderly
approach, immediately treating life-threatening problems as they
are identified, and minimizing delays in initiating transport to an
appropriate destination. PHTLS, Tenth Edition features: - The
updated ACS National Guidelines for the Field Triage of Injured
Patients - An advanced discussion on the challenges of prolonged
scene time - Consideration of when to shift efforts from search and
rescue to recovery in the setting of a drowning victim - The United
Kingdom Fire and Rescue Guidelines for search and rescue - New
content on blast injuries - Clarification on the role of pelvic
binders - Presentation of the emerging role of prehospital blood
transfusion in hemorrhagic shock in reducing 30-day mortality -
Current content addressing special considerations, including
weapons of mass destruction and environmental trauma
