Hand Bone Age
by Vicente Gilsanz Osman RatibIn the past, determination of bone maturity relied on visual evaluation of skeletal development in the hand and wrist, most commonly using the Greulich and Pyle atlas.

The atlas integrates the key morphological features of ossification in the bones of the hand and wrist and provides idealized, sex- and age-specific images of skeletal development New to this revised second edition is a description and user manual for Bone Age for iPad®, iPhone® and iPod touch®, which can be purchased and used separately from this book. The App can be easily employed to calculate the deviation of the patient's age from the normal range and to predict a possible growth delay. This easy-to-use atlas and the related App will be invaluable for radiologists, endocrinologists, and pediatricians and also relevant to forensic physicians.

Handboek PACU: Intensieve postoperatieve patiëntenzorg
by H.P.A. van Dongen A.F.J. de Bruin J.M.K. van FessemDit boek vormt een leidraad hoe te handelen bij veel voorkomende problemen op een Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). Het doel is een bijdrage te leveren aan het standaardiseren van de zorg op een PACU en de postoperatieve morbiditeit en mortaliteit na hoog-risico chirurgie bij hoog-risico patiënten te verlagen.Op een PACU vindt postoperatieve zorg plaats voor patiënten die na een operatie intensieve monitoring nodig hebben tot maximaal de ochtend van de tweede postoperatieve dag, alvorens de patiënt naar de reguliere afdeling wordt overgeplaatst. De postoperatieve PACU-opnameperiode is veelal voldoende om de vitale functies van de patiënt die peroperatief bedreigd zijn geraakt adequaat te stabiliseren. PACU is een belangrijk onderdeel van het ‘enhanced recovery after surgery’ programma (ERAS). Vroege complicaties worden eerder herkend en late complicaties worden voorkomen op een PACU. De diversiteit aan patiënten vereist een multidisciplinaire expertise en behandeling. Effectieve samenwerking leidt tot betere postoperatieve uitkomsten. Het auteursteam weerspiegelt dan ook de multidisciplinaire c.q. interprofessionele samenwerking. Handboek PACU is mede mogelijk gemaakt door de Nederlandse Vereniging voor Anesthesiologie (NVA) en is geschreven voor en door verpleegkundigen, verpleegkundig specialisten, anesthesiologen, chirurgen en andere medisch specialisten.
