Falls, fractures, frailty, osteoporosis and sarcopenia are highly
prevalent in older persons. While the concept of osteosarcopenia is
new, it is a rapidly evolving and cross-disciplinary problem.
Prevention and treatment are challenging and a combined therapeutic
approach is needed. Osteosarcopenia provides evidence-based
information on how to prevent and treat these conditions at
multiple settings, including multiple illustrations, care pathways
and tips to easily understand the pathophysiology, diagnostic
methods and therapeutic approach to these conditions. This work
evaluates the potential for a link between osteoporosis, sarcopenia
and obesity.
Neurosurgical procedures are becoming more common and are taking
place in the operating room and in interventional suites.
Procedures that used to be performed only at major academic
institutions are also being done in small community hospitals, and
anesthesiologists in private practice are being asked to care for
these patients. In many cases, treatment options are controversial
or rapidly evolving. Close cooperation between the anesthesiologist
and neurosurgeon is essential to achieve optimal outcomes and early
recognition of any adverse events so appropriate therapy can be
implemented. Fundamentals of Neuroanesthesia is a comprehensive
guide to neuroanesthesia that discusses neurophysiology,
neuroanatomy, and neurosurgical procedures and offers practical
approaches and solutions to administering neuroanesthesia and
providing perioperative care for neurosurgical patients. Chapters
emphasize clinical management of neurosurgical problems that may be
encountered in community practice as well as major academic medical
centers. Highlighted key points, figures, algorithms, and
management procedures supplement the text. This book is a must-have
volume for general anesthesiologists, anesthesiology fellows, and
subspecialists.
