In each chapter surgeons and oncologists will find appropriate tools for correct management of the diagnosis and therapy of this difficult disease. The book analyzes all the aspects of staging and treatment, such as modern diagnostic and staging techniques (MRI or PET-CT), endoscopic treatment of early cancer, new minimally invasive and open surgical techniques, and combined treatment. In addition, there are chapters dedicated to the postoperative course of these patients, as well as their quality of life, with indications for the correct follow-up and treatment of relapses.
Treatment of Fracture-Related Infection: An Orthoplastic Approach
by Nieves VanaclochaFracture-related infection is amongst the most challenging and complex conditions that physicians face all over the world. Treatment is complex and interdisciplinary, with scarce, low-quality evidence to aid decision-making. Successful management of fracture-related infection requires not only the combination of meticulous surgical treatment and pathogen-directed antimicrobial therapy, but also an in-depth understanding of the pathophysiology (including the role of biofilm), diagnostic methods, and the nuances of the advanced surgical techniques required. This book breaks down the decision-making involved in selecting and effectively performing a treatment strategy in patients with a fracture-related infection, with a keen focus on clinical relevance and applicability. Each chapter has been co-written by authors with different training (often, an orthopaedic and a plastic surgeon), as well as years of expertise in this evolving field, who present the decision-making process in an accessible way that can be immediately integrated into the physician&’s practice. Options for treatment are discussed based on each clinical scenario (state of the fracture, patient condition, and status of the soft tissue envelope), including indications of implant retention strategies (DAIR), amputation, options when the joint is unsalvageable (endoprosthetic replacement, arthrodesis, resection arthroplasty) or management of infected bone defects (acute shortening with or without re-lengthening, bone transport, bone grafts, bone flaps), with illustrative clinical cases at the end of the chapter. The workings and indications of the latest innovations, including molecular diagnostics, nuclear imaging, strategies to overcome resistant microorganisms, implants with antimicrobial surface modifications and compressive osseointegration, are discussed as well. Through multidisciplinary insights and actionable, practical strategies, this book equips readers with the knowledge needed to reduce infection rates, improve patient recovery, and ultimately deliver superior care. Orthopaedic and trauma surgeons, plastic surgeons, infectious disease specialists, and other components of teams dealing with bone infections associated to fractures will find this book of great value to enhancing patient outcomes, and a direct benefit to their practice.
Treatment of Human Parasitosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine
by Heinz Mehlhorn Zhongdao Wu Bin YeThis book intensively examines the efficacy of plant-derived products that have been used for over a thousand years by practitioners of so-called Traditional Chinese Medicine in the light of recent chemotherapeuticals. The chapters were written by renowned Chinese medical researchers and are supplemented by results obtained in German antiparasitic research projects. Parasites and emerging diseases are a major threat of our time, which is characterized by an enormous increase in the size of the human population and by an unbelievably rapid globalization that has led to the daily transport of millions of humans and containers with goods from one end of the earth to the other. Furthermore the slow but constant global warming offers new opportunities for many agents of diseases to become established in new areas. Therefore it is essential that we develop precautions in order to avoid epidemics or even pandemics in overcrowded megacities or at the large-scale farm animal confinements that are needed to secure a steady flow of food in the crowded regions of the world. Of course intensive research in the field of chemotherapy since 1900 has produced unbelievable breakthroughs in therapies for formerly untreatable and thus deadly diseases. However, a large number of untreatable diseases remain, as well as a constantly growing number of agents of disease that have developed resistances to standard chemical compounds. As such, it is not only worthwhile but also vital to consider the enormous amounts of information that have been obtained by human "high cultures" in the past. Examples from the past (like quinine) or present (like artemisinin, a modern antimalarial drug) show that plant extracts may hold tremendous potential in the fight against parasites and/or against vector-transmitted agents of diseases.

Treatment of Postoperative Complications After Digestive Surgery
by Miguel A. Cuesta H. Jaap BonjerAny surgical intervention, elective or acute, may lead to postoperative complications. Moreover, the pertaining approach - laparoscopic or open - will probably not differ in the morbidity rate after surgery. Complications that occur after a surgical intervention can be classified as major or minor. Major complications to the digestive tract after surgery imply in most of cases a leakage of an anastomosis, bleeding in the abdominal cavity or in the tract, the appearance of intraperitoneal abscesses, or surgical site infections and wound dehiscence. These complications, depending on the organ affected, upper GI, HPB tract or colorectal, are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Early suspicion and diagnosis, followed by an early and effective treatment is imperative in order to reduce the morbidity and mortality. Adequate treatment will involve a good coordination of the three disciplines involved in treatment: the surgeon, the intervention radiologist, and the gastroenterologist. Approach of these postoperative complications is changing constantly and these changes are not properly known by general and more specialized digestive surgeons daily involved in the treatment of these diseases. The proposal for this book is to offer a systematic description of the most frequent complications occurring in the three above mentioned parts of the digestive tract. In this way, the reader will have access to a practical book in which every current complication can be easily recognized, along with relevant information as guide for an adequate treatment.
Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders Among Older Adults
by Rajesh R. Tampi Deena J. TampiThis timely book provides detailed information regarding the latest treatment for psychiatric disorders among the growing population of older adults. The World Health Organization reports that between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the world's older adults (≥ 60 years) will double from about 12% to almost 22% of the total population, and it is estimated that approximately 20% of older adults have a diagnosable psychiatric disorder. Many of these older adults are prescribed psychotropic medications, but these treatments can result in significant functional decline, cognitive decline, cerebrovascular adverse events, and death. The editors, in collaboration with fellow experts in geriatric psychiatry, provide the scientific background regarding the treatment of a range of psychiatric disorders among older adults. The volume features a comprehensive table of contents covering a range of psychiatry subtopics, such as neurocognitive disorders, depressive disorders, substance use disorders, and anxiety disorders.

Treatment of Spine Disease in the Elderly: Cutting Edge Techniques and Technologies
by Michael Y. Wang Praveen V. Mummaneni Kai-Ming G. Fu Michael S. Virk John R. Dimar IIAs the population continues to age worldwide, spinal disease will become more prevalent in the elderly population. The treatment of spinal disease requires an individual approach encorporating best practices. Optimal management in the elderly may differ from younger patients due to increased comorbidities, decreased bone health, and a higher risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality. While more and more elderly patients will require evaluation and management of their spinal disease, most modern books discuss operative and nonoperative management based upon disease process. Techniques and approaches are described for a specific pathology, and are usually tailored for a young or middle aged patient. Treatment of Spine Disease in the Elderly: Cutting Edge Techniques and Technologies is designed to address this gap in today’s literature by expressly addressing spinal conditions in the elderly and current advanced techniques and technologies for treating their spinal disease. It will be intended as a resource for the beginning to the advanced surgeon and practitioner whom undertakes treatment of patients in this age group.
