In naher Zukunft wird die Halfte der Menschheit an Allergien leiden. Dieses Buch prasentiert praventive Strategien unter Berucksichtigung aktueller Mikrobiom-Forschung und der bisher noch wenig diskutierten Rolle der Lipidmediatoren. Diese beiden Wunderwerke der Evolution werden durch die weltweit reduzierte Biodiversitat und veranderte Lebensbedingungen sowie durch fruhe und haufige Gabe von Antibiotika und nichtsteroidalen Antirheumatika (NSAR) dauerhaft gestoert. Rezidivierende "banale" Infekte koennen bei Pradisponierten die Sensibilisierung erleichtern und bei Allergikern zu akuten Exazerbationen mit Etagenwechsel und Fortschreiten des "allergischen Marsches" fuhren. Daher spannt die Autorin einen Bogen uber 2000 Jahre - zwischen aktuellster Grundlagenforschung des 21. Jahrhunderts und der Weisheit des Klassikers der TCM Shanghan zabing lun. Sie bringt dabei zum Vorschein, dass die heutige Allergieforschung die Starkung der Selbstheilungsmechanismen ebenso fokussiert, wie es die klassische chinesische Medizin seit jeher tut. Dieses Buch will zu vernetztem Denken motivieren und zu gemeinsamer Forschung anregen, um genau jene Lucke bei der Behandlung des akuten Infekts zu schliessen, fur die die heutige Allergieforschung so dringend eine wirksame Therapiemoeglichkeit sucht.

The importance of accurately diagnosing nosocomial infections and providing appropriate therapies, including antimicrobial therapy effective against the identified agents of infection, have been shown to be important determinants of patient outcome. Critical care practitioners are in a unique position to deal with infectious diseases, as they are often the initial providers of care to seriously ill patients with infections. Additionally, they have a responsibility to insure that nosocomial infections are prevented and that antimicrobial resistance is minimised by employing antibiotic agents prudently. It is our hope that this textbook will provide clinicians practising in the intensive care unit with a reference to help guide their care of infected patients. To that end we have brought together a group of international authors to address important topics related to infectious diseases for the critical care practitioner. Critical Care Infectious Diseases should become an advanced standard reference work in the field of infectious diseases and intensive care medicine. The content is original and the first of its kind in this area.It is a reference work for those physicians who care daily for critically ill patients suffering from infectious complications. Residents and other specialists interested in focused problems will benefit from the wide spectrum of information provided in this book. Infectious control practitioners and nurses will also benefit from this collection by recognised experts who work with specific aspects of infectious disease problems in the critically ill patient. Critical Care Infectious Diseases includes seven sections addressing the following topics: specific microbiologic and pharmacologic considerations, epidemiology/infection control in the ICU, anti-infective therapy in the critically ill patient, severe respiratory infections, intra-abdominal infections, severe skin/soft tissue infections, catheter-related infections, and other infectious syndromes frequently seen in the intensive care unit.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) as a chronic lung disease affecting preterm infants has been recognized for more than 45 years. However, little progress has been made in the prevention and treatment of the disease. BPD continues to be a major morbidity affecting preterm infants. Studies in pre-adolescent children demonstrate that the abnormal lung function from BPD persists well into childhood. Infants with BPD also have an increased risk for adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. Thus BPD imposes a significant burden of adverse health outcomes in preterm infants. The major risk factors for BPD are prematurity, mechanical ventilation, exposure to noxious insults such as oxygen, infections. New research data both in basic science and clinical studies have shed light on the pathogenesis, and possible new treatment or management strategies for the future. In the proposed issue of the Clinics in Perinatology, we would like to comprehensively cover BPD both from a basic science and clinical perspective. Our attempt is to balance new information along with classic topics. The proposed authors for the issue are recognized experts in the topic area/s. We hope that the issue will be of interest to a broad array of readership.

This timely volume addresses the areas of pathophysiology and therapy of pulmonary hypertension, which have seen exciting developments over the past decade. The discoveries of endothelin overexpression as well as prostacyclin and nitric oxide deficiency in association with pulmonary hypertension have led to important therapeutic insights. The new therapies have led to significant improvements in patient function, quality of life and survival. In this book, expert authors describe these new therapies. It will be of interest not only to cardiologists, pulmonary specialists and rheumatologists, but also many nurses and pharmacotherapists.

R3,686 Discovery Miles 36 860 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book provides an overview of sleep and sleep disorders for practicing clinicians. Sleep disorders represent a major portion of the chief complaints seen by pulmonologists and other clinicians. Patients with sleep-related conditions often present with non-specific complaints that require a broad and detailed knowledge of the wide range of sleep disorders and their consequences. This concise, evidence-based review of sleep medicine offers a guide to pulmonologists, primary care physicians, and all clinicians involved in caring for patients with sleep disorders. Providing a focused, scientific basis for the effects of sleep on human physiology, especially cardiac and respiratory physiology, chapters also outline a differential diagnosis for common sleep complaints and an evidence-based approach to diagnosis and management. This includes a review of the current standards of practice and of emerging technology and unresolved issues awaiting further research. In all, this book provides a clear diagnostic and management program for all the different sleep disorders and includes key points and summaries. This new edition expands the scope of the previous to include additional sleep disorders and the most affected populations. Six new chapters are added on health disparities in sleep medicine, models of care for patients with sleep disorders/care coordination, sleep disordered breathing in pediatric populations, sleep in hospitalized patients, sleep in pregnancy, and sleep in older patients. Essentials of Sleep Medicine is an invaluable resource for physicians, clinical psychologists, respiratory care practitioners, polysomnographic technologists, graduate students, clinical researchers, and other health professionals seeking an in-depth review of sleep medicine.
