Erst wenn die neue Technik mit ihrer methodischen Ausbeute tibereinstimmt, ist ihre Anwendung berech tigt. Ftir den Kranken haben die neuen Verfahren ihre Unersetzlickeit unter Beweis gestellt. Die in dem vorliegenden Band auf den ersten Blick zufallig erscheinende Zusammen stellung von Beitragen aus den versehiedensten Gebieten der Medizin offenbart sich dem Leser sehr bald als die Prasentation einer fundierten, dem Buehtitel gerecht werden den Gesamtkonzeption. Ihr Anliegen ist die Darstellung der neuen Techniken in ihrer Sehrittmacherfunktion ftir die medizinisehe Methodik. Mit der Auswahl der die Medizin in den letzten J ahren verandernden Verfahrensteehniken und der Gewinnung von Autoren, die diese praktizieren, ist es dem Herausgeber gelungen, einen ebenso aktuellen wie kritisehen Uberbliek tiber die uns alle zunehmend besehaftigenden Neu erungen zu geben.

Die explosionsartige Verbreitung von Wissen und Erfahrung auf dem Gebiet der Gelenkersatzchirurgie in den vergangenen 20 Jahren ist auch fur den Spezialisten kaum noch uberschaubar. Aus Anlass des 10jahrigen Bestehens der Endo-Klinik Hamburg diskutieren Fachwissenschaftler aus dem In- und Ausland neue Ideen zur Weiterentwicklung der endoprothetischen Primar- und Revisionsoperationen. Fortschritte konnen nur gemacht werden, wenn Kontakte international und interdisziplinar immer enger geknupft werden. In partnerschaftlicher, offener Diskussion zwischen den Beteiligten unter Einbeziehung von Mikrobiologen, Chemikern, Bioingenieuren und Herstellern von Prothesen konnen die immer differenzierter werdenden Probleme nur schrittweise gelost werden. Den grossen Zentren werden dabei nicht nur koordinierende Funktionen zufallen, sondern besonders die Aufgabe, im Rahmen einer sorgfaltigen und moglichst einheitlichen Dokumentation Langzeitverlaufe anhand grosser Serien zu vergleichen.

La chirurgia estetica e un tema ormai entrato saldamente nell'immaginario collettivo ed e spesso oggetto di dibattiti e controversie. E un argomento che mescola medicina e costume, scienza e "civilta dell'immagine", cura di se e narcisismo. Questo volume, scritto a quattro mani da un accademico e da una giornalista di costume, e una sorta di guida pratica ma autorevole per coloro che intendono avvicinarsi all'universo della chirurgia estetica. Ogni eta della vita viene considerata dal punto di vista degli interventi possibili e delle problematiche che si affacciano a ogni nuova fase: l'acne, le cicatrici, la cellulite, il seno post-parto. Che cosa accade fra i venti e i trent'anni? E quando iniziano gli "anta"? Domanda e risposta su quando e come intervenire, perche prediligere un intervento a un altro, e quando invece la chirurgia risulta inutile. E ancora: che panorama si presenta agli uomini che intendono servirsi di ritocchi e lifting? Passando in rassegna le principali tecniche e i metodi non invasivi, i volume indica al lettore come affrontare e sfruttare le opportunita offerte da questo campo chirurgico senza correre rischi.

R3,044 Discovery Miles 30 440 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The surgical treatment of morbid obesity has undergone astonishing growth since its inception thirty years ago. The medical profession has long been aware of the discouraging intractability of morbid obesity to all forms of conservative management, and it is only recently that physicians have come to realize that surgery can provide very real palliation for the morbidly obese patient. Surgery does not attack the underlying etiology of morbid obesity, whatever it may be, but exerts its effect indirectly either by effecting a calorie loss through intestinal shunting, or by calorie deprivation through a radical reduction of gastric capacity. Acceptance of bariatric surgery as a legitimate therapeutic modality has met with considerable resistance by many physicians for two principal reasons. The first relates to the rather prevalent but unjustifiable attitude both within and without the medical profession that morbid obesity is an expression of slovenliness, the result of a character defect, or a defect of the will, and of an "easy way that those so atHicted should not be extended the benefit out," but should "shape up" by rigorous diet and exercise. The second more serious concern that has blunted enthusiasm for bariatric surgery has been the large number of late complications following jejunoileal bypass, and the high incidence of perioperative complications and revisional operations in some quarters following gastric reduction procedures. It is to these concerns that this book is addressed.

Dieses Buch beschreibt nicht nur einen Koerperteil, der als Krankheitsort fur Betroffene, Angehoerige, AErzte und Pharmaindustrie unterschiedliche Bedeutung gewinnen kann. Es skizziert die Brust auch als Symbol, das in der Geschichte einem grossen Wandel unterworfen war: von ernahrender Druse uber Weiblichkeit, Sexualitat, Unabhangigkeit und Politikum bis zum Therapieobjekt, umsatztrachtigem Gewebe und Mittel geschlechtlicher Diskriminierung. Die Autoren diskutieren anhand jungster Daten in leicht verstandlicher Sprache Chancen und Grenzen der Fruherkennung, Sinn und Unsinn von Behandlungen, Wahrheit und Luge von Statistiken, Nutzen und Risken von Hormonen sowie gewahrte und verweigerte Entscheidungsfreiheiten fur die Frau.

Kathy Davis
R3,386 Discovery Miles 33 860 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Dubious Equalities and Embodied Differences explores cosmetic surgery as a cultural phenomenon of late modernity. From its onset as a medical specialty at the end of the nineteenth century, cosmetic surgery has been intimately liked to discourses of 'normalcy,' as well as to gender, race, and other categories of difference that have shaped its technologies and techniques, its professional ideologies, and the objects of its interventions. Davis considers how cosmetic surgery is taken up in representations of cosmetic surgery in medical discourse and in popular culture, drawing on a wide range of cultural manifestations including televised 'infotainment,' popular music, performance art, surgeon biographies, stories of patients, public debates, and medical texts. Davis critically engages with the notion of cosmetic surgery as a neutral technology and shows how it is implicated in the surgical erasure of embodied difference.
