Atlas of Ultrasound Guided Musculoskeletal Injections (Musculoskeletal Medicine)

The use of ultrasound guidance to perform diagnostic and therapeutic injections is growing at a rapid rate, as is the evidence to support its use. Even with the increased popularity of ultrasound, there remains a lack of formal training or a standard reference book. Atlas of Ultrasound Guided Musculoskeletal Injections fills this void in the literature and will be useful to physiatrists, orthopedists, rheumatologists, pain medicine and sports medicine specialists alike. Broken down by anatomic structure and heavily illustrated, this book is both comprehensive and instructive. The Editors and their contributors break down the basics (both the fundamentals of ultrasound to needle visibility and the role of injections) and explore ultrasound-guided injection for structures in the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, hip and groin, knee, ankle and foot, and spine. Using a clear, heavily illustrated format, this book describes the relevant clinical scenarios and indications for injection, the evidence to support ultrasound use, relevant local anatomy, injection methods, and pearls and safety considerations. It will be a valuable reference for trainees and experienced clinicians alike, for experienced sonographers or those just starting out.

Atlas of Ultrasound-Guided Central Venous Catheter Placement: Neonatal and Pediatric Approach

Central venous catheter (CVC) placement is the most frequently performed invasive procedure in pediatric and adult patients. The indications for a CVC include hemodynamic monitoring, administration of parenteral solutions, antibiotics, and parenteral nutrition, among others. The internal jugular, subclavian, and femoral veins are the most frequently used sites. Traditionally, vascular access is performed using anatomical guides; however, its effectiveness depends on the operator's expertise. The success of the anatomical guide procedure decreases as the patient's age and weight decrease or the patient has had previous catheterizations or abnormal anatomy. In addition, the risk of associated complications such as cervical hematomas, pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade, or deaths are reported when using this technique. Ultrasound-guided Central Venous Catheter Placement is recognized by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (2002) and recommends ultrasound guidance as the preferred method for elective CVC insertion in adults and children. However, it has not yet become the standard due to a lack of training or adequate equipment (ultrasound). This innovative atlas intends to cover all the technical details of 11 types of vascular access in the pediatric age. It is richly illustrated with over 200 images. Atlas of Ultrasound-guided Central Venous Catheter Placement is a valuable book for medical professionals who perform vascular access in pediatric patients and a guide for anyone who wants to place an ultrasound-guided central venous catheter. It is a useful resource for pediatric surgeons, surgeons, anesthesiologists, pediatric emergency care, pediatric intensive care, neonatologists, pediatricians, and nurses.

Atlas of the Huai River Basin Water Environment: Digestive Cancer Mortality

This atlas shows the relationship between water pollution and cancer in the Huai River Basin in China over the last 30 years. Drawing on a five-year study conducted by the China Centre for Disease Control (CDC), Professor Gonghuan Yang & Dafang Zhuang present a spatial and longitudinal analysis of regular pollution monitoring and disease surveillance data. A review of variation in trends in the causes of death in the Huai River Basin over the past 30 years shows that precisely those areas which were the most seriously polluted for the longest time were the areas with the highest increase in digestive cancer deaths - several times that of the national average increase for the respective cancers. Spatial analysis shows a high level of correspondence between the seriously polluted areas and areas with high mortality from cancer, the most important finding in the atlas. Dr. Gonghuan Yang is a Professor at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.
