American University in Cairo Press A Surgeon and a Maverick: The Life and Pioneering
Book Synopsis“[A] remarkable journey.” —The TelegraphThe incredible life story of legendary cardiac surgeon and scientist Magdi Yacoub, an outsider who succeeded against the odds Veteran journalists Simon Pearson and Fiona Gorman follow the remarkable life of heart surgeon Magdi Yacoub from his formative years in Egypt, through spectacular success at Cairo University, to his long and distinguished career in Britain. Although at times he clashed with the medical establishment in London, Yacoub pioneered great advances in heart surgery. He was knighted in 1992, and in 2014, he was awarded the highest honor in the gift of the Queen, the Order of Merit.Written with unprecedented access and drawing on extensive interviews and research, the biography recounts how Yacoub transformed the treatment of children with congenital heart disease. He performed some of the first heart transplants in Britain and the first heart-lung transplants in Europe. At London’s Harefield Hospital, he created the greatest heart transplant center in the world. Among his patients are men and women who are still thriving more than thirty-five years after he gave them new hope. This story is also about science, the development of new medical techniques, and a deeper understanding of how the human body works. Today, at an age when most people have long since retired, Yacoub is still pushing the boundaries of scientific understanding and surgical know-how. He is also taking heart surgery to places that until now have had little access to cardiac treatment, developing centers of excellence across Africa, including in Egypt, where his hospital in Aswan has an international reputation, and a new center is rising in Cairo.Yacoub’s life is one of triumph and tragedy, success and failure, fierce criticism and high praise—it is also an enthralling journey through the worlds of scientific research and medical politics and ethics at the highest levels.Trade Review“Chronicling his remarkable journey from Belbeis, an ancient fortress city on the Nile delta, to becoming one of the world’s most famous Egyptians . . . the book not only lays bare his surgical successes but also the challenges he faced along the way.”—The Telegraph"The reason that he has finally consented to an authorised biography now after all these years is not, he stresses, out of self-aggrandisement, but in the hope that it will inspire others to follow in his footsteps."—The National"His legacy is one of innovation and saved lives. . . . an outsider who went on to have a career of firsts."—Channel 4 News"Whether or not you are interested in the medical field, Yacoub’s tale will impassion anyone striving to create a more just and honourable society."—The New Arab"This is a story of a life well lived. Sir Magdi Yacoub has transformed medical practice and improved the lives of millions of people. He did this with intellectual creativity, determination, and a deep commitment to serving humanity."—Minouche Shafik, President, Columbia University“From humble beginnings as he followed his surgeon father across Egypt, to achieving the highest honors in the UK, Magdi Yacoub’s story exemplifies the values of hard work, innovation, and humanity. His passion for science and his unrivaled surgical wizardry are only surpassed by his core belief that every human life holds equal value. This book will undoubtedly inspire generations of young people all around the world to fulfill their most ambitious dreams.”—Valentin Fuster, Physician in Chief, Mount Sinai Hospital"This book recounts how a brilliant and determined young Egyptian became a great pioneer and global champion of cardiac surgery. Through his skills in the operating theater and his indefatigable energy he’s directly saved thousands of lives. And through his intensive commitment and compelling advocacy of hospitals and research his Chain of Hope charity has saved many more—especially in Africa. Magdi Yacoub’s immense achievements richly deserve honor and celebration, and this fine book tells us all why."—Martin Rees, author of If Science is to Save Us"Amazing stories"—Alhurra"An unconventional biography"—Groks Science ShowPRAISE FOR MAGDI YACOUB:"Magdi has changed our definition of what is possible."—Gordon Brown, former UK Prime Minister"The world’s leading cardiac surgeon"—The Sunday Times"Renowned heart specialist Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub"—The Guardian “Recognized as one of the great pioneers of heart transplant surgery”—BBC Radio"The Leonardo da Vinci of cardiac surgery"—Peter Alivizatos, MDTable of ContentsForeword Dame Mary ArcherAcknowledgments Introduction1.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Tracheostomy: Indications, Safety and Outcomes
Book SynopsisTracheostomy is one of the simplest, most valuable operations in surgical practice. In tracheostomy an opening is made in the anterior wall of the trachea and this opening is used for insufflation of oxygen- air mixture into the lungs. A tracheostomy may be performed on an emergency or elective basis; it may be a temporary or a permanent one. Over the past several years the indications for a tracheostomy have radically evolved. Earlier tracheostomies were mostly done to relieve an upper airway obstruction; now tracheostomies are mostly done in critical care settings to facilitate mechanical ventilation. Open surgical tracheostomy (OST) is usually done in an operation theatre. A detailed description is given in the relevant chapter of the book, but a certain salient point needs to be emphasized here. First and foremost, neck anatomy is to be clearly defined and structures should be identified, as most of the complications occur when the surgeon deviates from the midline. Percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT) has certain distinct advantages over open surgical tracheostomy (OST); PCT is faster to perform, easier to learn and can be performed at the point of care. In most adult ICU patients, a percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT) is the preferred technique unless contraindicated. Compared to surgical tracheostomy it leads to significantly lesser wound infections, but it is associated with a higher rate of accidental decannulation and obstruction. Use of real time ultrasonography while performing percutaneous tracheostomy has also helped in better identification of tracheal rings and hence in improving its safety for obese patients. Tracheostomies are usually straightforward, but complications still occur, often due to improper technique. Complications may be due to structural damage to vital structures of the neck leading to hemorrhage, tracheal damage, esophageal damage, failure to proceed, air embolism, aspiration, hypoxemia, tube misplacement, pneumothorax, tracheal stenosis, trachea-arterial and trachea-esophageal fistula. This book encompasses many clinically relevant scenarios in which a tracheostomy may be needed. However, certain situations demand special expertise; tracheostomy in pregnancy is one such situation. The aim of this book is to apprise readers with all the practical aspects of tracheostomy from patient's selection to tracheostomy in special situations.Table of ContentsPreface; Tracheostomy: An Introduction; Historical Overview of Tracheostomy; Surgical Anatomy of Trachea; Tracheostomy: Indication, Safety, and Outcomes; Indications and Contraindications of Tracheostomy; Pre-Tracheostomy Investigations; Tracheostomy: The Role of Imaging; Timing of Tracheostomy; Tracheostomy: Conventional Technique; Difficult Tracheostomy: Techniques and Concepts; Tracheostomy in Pregnancy; Mediastinal Tracheostomy; Complications of Tracheostomy; Tracheal Stenosis; Tracheostomy Care; Post-Tracheostomy Rehabilitation; Tracheostomy Decannulation; Tracheostomy and Nutrition; Tracheostomy in Neurosurgery Patients; Pediatric Tracheostomy; Tracheostomy in Patients with Malignant Lesions; Tracheostomy in War and Conflict Zones; Index.

Allen & Unwin Scrubbed: A heart surgeon's extraordinary memoir
Book SynopsisThe revealing, compelling memoir of one of Australia's foremost cardiothoracic surgeons, Dr Nikki Stamp.Raw, honest and compelling, Scrubbed is Dr Nikki Stamp's account of her life as one of Australia's leading cardiothoracic surgeons. A life lived at the very edge of modern medicine, where heart surgeons walk the thinnest of lines between life and death, and yet where the greatest challenge can be the medical system itself.From childhood Nikki Stamp wanted to be a doctor. It was a calling, not a career. Her love for her vocation only grew as a medical student, and as a young registrar going through training rotations she fell, totally and utterly, for the hugely demanding specialty of cardiothoracic surgery. But alongside the excitement and enormous challenges of trying to make it in one of the toughest and most competitive fields of surgery came warning signs. Even in the operating theatre, where she felt most alive, she battled with sexism, enormous egos and at times outright bullying. And within the hospital system she lived with inhuman hours, chronic sleep deprivation and bureaucratic mismanagement that had a profoundly damaging effect on her life outside of work.From the drama of the operating theatre, filled with both triumph and tragedy, to the brutal realities of surgical training and the sacrifices needed to make it to the top, to entrenched misogyny and the grinding nature of hospital politics, Scrubbed is one of the most revealing books yet written about the real life and experiences of a surgeon.

Elliott & Thompson Limited Open Hearts: Stories of the Surgery That Changes
Book SynopsisNearly all of us will, at some point, know someone who was born with a heart defect. But, as the surgical scars so often remain hidden, we just might not realise it.; Powerfully telling of the patients and their experiences, Open Hearts is a remarkable medical story: we are often so focused on 'extraordinary' people and their achievements, we forget just how incredible the 'ordinary' achievements of living can be.; Until the 1960s 'blue babies' were a striking sight in our streets. Suffering from congenital heart disease offered a bleak outlook to young patients and a heartbreaking experience for parents. Very few would make it to adulthood; now, in the West at least, most have a much higher chance of survival.; In Open Hearts Kate Bull, formerly a cardiologist at Great Ormond Street Hospital, tells not just of the development of heart surgery in children, but of the patients, past and present, whose lives have been transformed. Besides the technology, the sociology of medicine has changed substantially since the 1950s - think of the atmosphere of children's wards.Other things have barely changed - consider the dread of kissing your child goodbye at the door of an operating theatre in any era. ; Children's heart surgery is often seen as a medical triumph; but, for all the successful operations completed, thousands of pioneering patients have gone before, perhaps facing their own uncertain futures. Today, we place great hope in the power of science. Many lives have been saved; but, sometimes, we ask medicine to do more than it can.; By turns frightening, heart-wrenching and inspiring, Open Hearts is a powerful story of medical progress, hope and survival.Trade Review"Terrific - up there with the best recent medical books like Henry Marsh's Do No Harm" - Peter Forbes, author of Dazzled and Deceived: Mimicry and Camouflage and The Gecko's Foot; "It will tug at the heart strings with accounts of real human suffering ...

Legend Press Ltd The Beat of Life: A surgeon reveals the secrets
Book SynopsisThe heart is our most important and perhaps most mysterious organ.Every day it pumps 9000 litres of blood and beats around 100,000 times. But the heart is more than just a pump. In all major human cultures, it is seen as the source of love, sympathy, joy, courage, strength and wisdom. Why?Having witnessed the extraordinary complexity and unpredictability of human hearts in the operating theatre each one individual in its make-up, like a fingerprint heart surgeon Reinhard Friedl went on a search for answers. He examined closely the latest findings in neurocardiology and psychocardiology, and in The Beat of Life he shares his discoveries, using riveting personal stories to illustrate the complex relationship between the heart, the brain and the psyche.''Reinhard Friedl explains why love resides in the heart, whether it can be broken by grief and why heart and brain form a unit'' Kleine Presse Graz''Raising awareness, contemplating, reflecting that is the true intention of this book on the heart'' Neu-Ulmer Zeitung''A well-balanced blend of facts and personal stories'' Moment by Moment''This book has inspired me from the first page to the last readable and endearing'' Yoga Journal''You will learn something about what keeps your life going, from the technical to the spiritual, and appreciate it even more'' Psychiatric Times

Springer London Ltd ECG Diagnosis in Clinical Practice
Book SynopsisOver the last century the ECG has been used by clinicians to make major clinical decisions with regard to electric pacing, the use of thrombolytic drugs in acute myocardial infarction and the timing of surgery. In conjunction with a chest X-ray and the echocardiogram it is a fundamental part of the initial investigation of a patient with suspected heart disease. These electrical squiggles have always been difficult for students to understand. In part the problem has been that the formatting of the ECG has only become standard in the last two decades. Some important books have not provided the full twelve-lead ECG. On occasion the interpretation of the ECG has been related to complex explanations of the shapes of the electrical signals. For the practising physician much of the interpretation is a matter of pattern recognition. Table of ContentsBasic principles.- Ischaemic (Coronary) Heart Disease.- Conduction impairment.- Rhythm Disturbances.- Hypertrophy.- Cardiomyopathies and Autoimmune Disorders.- Pericarditis, Myocarditis, and Metabolic Disorders.- Pacemakers, Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators, and Cardioversion.- ECG in Congenital Heart Disease.- Intracardiac Electrophysiology.

TFM Publishing Ltd The Evidence for Cardiothoracic Surgery
Book SynopsisWhat is the evidence? Evidence-based medicine, or EBM which slips off the tongue more readily, seeks to offer proof that what we offer patients whenever we treat them, do a diagnostic test, or recommend anything from an operation to change in life style, is known to be effective. Fifty to 100 years ago, health care was delivered patchily, much less of it was effective, and was based on an image of a kindly doctor treating the sick, who were glad of whatever help could be offered. Now, medicine is effective and whether you look at it as major government expense or big business in private health care insurance, there is no sense in spending money on ineffective treatments, while we do not have enough to spend on what is of proven worth. Individual doctors cannot read everything and cannot possibly synthesise what they do read, so that they are aware of what is proven to be effective and what probably is not. The "The Evidence for ..." series seeks to fill that need. Into "The Evidence for Cardiothoracic Surgery" we have commissioned systematic reviews of the common operations and some innovative treatments, to present the facts to busy doctors. Where is there and where is there not evidence?

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Robotic Surgery
Book SynopsisThe first edition of Robotic Surgery was written only a decade after the introduction of robotic technology. It was the first comprehensive robotic surgery reference and represented the early pioneering look ahead to the future of surgery. Building upon its success, this successor edition serves as a complete multi-specialty sourcebook for robotic surgery. It seeks to explore an in-depth look into surgical robotics and remote technologies leading to the goal of achieving the benefits of traditional surgery with the least disruption to the normal functions of the human body. Written by experts in the field, chapters cover the fundamental principles of robotic surgery and provide clear instruction on their clinical application and long term results. Most notably, one chapter on “The Blueprint for the Establishment of a Successful Robotic Surgery Program: Lessons from Admiral Hymen R. Rickover and the Nuclear Navy” outlines the many valuable lessons from the transformative change which was brought about by the introduction of nuclear technology into the conventional navy with Safety as the singular goal of the change process. Robotics represents a monumental triumph of surgical technology. Undoubtedly, the safety of the patient will be the ultimate determinant of its success.The second edition of Robotic Surgery aims to erase the artificial boundaries of specialization based on regional anatomy and serves as a comprehensive multispecialty reference for all robot surgeons.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Artificial Intelligence in Cardiothoracic Imaging
Book SynopsisThis book provides an overview of current and potential applications of artificial intelligence (AI) for cardiothoracic imaging. Most AI systems used in medical imaging are data-driven and based on supervised machine learning. Clinicians and AI specialists can contribute to the development of an AI system in different ways, focusing on their respective strengths. Unfortunately, communication between these two sides is far from fluent and, from time to time, they speak completely different languages. Mutual understanding and collaboration are imperative because the medical system is based on physicians’ ability to take well-informed decisions and convey their reasoning to colleagues and patients.This book offers unique insights and informative chapters on the use of AI for cardiothoracic imaging from both the technical and clinical perspective. It is also a single comprehensive source that provides a complete overview of the entire process of the development and use of AI in clinical practice for cardiothoracic imaging. The book contains chapters focused on cardiac and thoracic applications as well more general topics on the potentials and pitfalls of AI in medical imaging. Separate chapters will discuss the valorization, regulations surrounding AI, cost-effectiveness, and future perspective for different countries and continents.

Springer International Publishing AG Cardiovascular Surgery: A Clinical Casebook
Book SynopsisThis clinical casebook is comprised of surgical cases involving the most important cardiovascular diseases in a concise, easy-to-read format (5x8 in trim size, like other titles in this burgeoning, informal product line in the Springer clinical medicine program).Each chapter is a case that opens with a unique clinical presentation, followed by a description of the diagnosis, assessment and management techniques used to treat it, as well as questions and answers (between 8 and 10) about relevant aspects related to the diagnosis and treatment of the addressed disease. The Q&A section will broaden discussion and increase the title's pedagogical value. The casebook features 40 surgical cases in the following thematic areas: Aortic Disease, Arrhythmias, Cardiac Tumors, Coronary Insufficiency, Congenital Heart Disease, Endovascular Therapies, Heart Failure, Heart Transplantation, Mechanical Circulatory Support, Pericardial Disease, Pulmonary Embolism and Valvular Heart Disease. This book will be prepared by the Brazilian Department for Academic Leagues of Cardiovascular Surgery, within the Brazilian Society of Cardiovascular Surgery (BSCVS). This department is the section within BSCVS that consists of the academic leagues of cardiovascular surgery from each university throughout the country. In Brazil, medical academic leagues are organizations that gathers students, interns and residents to discuss a certain topic and promote research and teaching-oriented extra-class activities, supervised by a group of professors. Thus trainees will have involvement in writing the chapters and the senior professor supervisors will edit and finalize the work. Basically, each chapter is written by an intern or resident and, ultimately, his/her supervisor. As the books volume editors, doctors Almeida and Jatene will have final responsibility for the cases and overall manuscript.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Zugangswege in der Gefäßchirurgie
Book SynopsisDie Entwicklung neuer Materialien und Techniken ftir die Gefäß chirurgie hat den Horizont der gesamten Chirurgie in ungeahnter Weise erweitert und befruchtet. Stand früher im wesentlichen die sachgemäße Versorgung von Gefäßen im Vordergrund, so bieten sich heute zahllose Möglichkeiten einer Rekonstruktion der Blut strombahn und darüber hinaus der Schaffung neuer Blutwege bis hin zum Anschluß transplantierter oder künstlicher Organe. Kein Zweig unseres Faches ist hiervon ausgeschlossen. Wenn sich auch besondere Schwerpunkte der Gefäßchirurgie entwickelt haben, so muß doch jeder Operateur zumindest die sein eigenes Interessen gebiet betreffenden Gefäßeingriffe beherrschen. Insofern mutet der hier und da geäußerte Alleinvertretungsanspruch ftir die gesamte Gefäßchirurgie kurios an. Viele Chirurgen sind von dieser stürmischen Entwicklung über holt worden, während andere mangels Weiterbildungsmöglichkei ten oder eines geeigneten Krankengutes Mühe haben, diesen Fort schritt mitzuvollziehen. Diese Hemmnisse zu überwinden, hat sich der Autor ausdrücklich zum Ziel gesetzt. Die Gefäßchirurgie -wie jede andere operative Tätigkeit -steht auf drei Säulen. Einmal muß der gegenwärtige Stand des Wissens über die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Gefäßchirurgie vorhan den sein. Dann gilt es, die im Grunde einfachen, wenn auch durch besondere Sorgfaltspflicht gezeichneten Methoden der atraumati schen Handhabung von Gefäßen und deren Naht zu erlernen und schließlich muß der Zugriff zum Gefäßsystem "sitzen", das heißt, eindeutig, zweckmäßig und schonend sein. Diesem letzteren Ziel dient dieses Werk.Table of Contents1 Zugang zur Aorta thoracica.- 1.1 Zur Aorta ascendens.- 1.2 Zum Arcus aortae.- 1.2.1 Bilaterale transsternale Thorakotomie.- 1.2.2 Türflügelincision.- 1.3 Zur Aorta descendens.- 2 Zugang zum Truncus brachiocephalicus.- 3 Zugang zu den Carotiden.- 3.1 Zur Carotisgabel.- 3.2 Zur linken A. carotis communis.- 3.3 Zur rechten A. carotis communis.- 4 Zugang zur linken A. subclavia und linken A. vertebralis.- 4.1 Zum thorakalen Teil der linken A. subclavia.- 4.2 Supraclaviculärer Zugang zur linken A. subclavia und linken A. vertebralis.- 4.3 Darstellung der gesamten linken A. subclavia.- 5 Zugang zur rechten A. subclavia und rechten A. vertebralis.- 5.1 Supraclaviculärer Zugang.- 6 Zugang zur V. cava superior.- 7 Zugang zur A. pulmonalis.- 8 Zugang zur A. axillaris.- 8.1 Infraclaviculärer Zugang.- 8.2 Deltopectoraler Zugang.- 8.3 Axillärer Zugang.- 9 Zugang zur A. brachialis.- 9.1 Im proximalen Oberarm.- 9.2 Im distalen Oberarm.- 10 Zugang zu den Unterarmarterien.- 10.1 Zur A. radialis.- 10.2 Zur A. ulnaris.- 11 Zugang zur Aorta abdominalis.- 11.1 Zur infrarenalen Aorta.- 11.2 Variationen zum Standardverfahren.- 11.3 Zur gesamten suprarenalen Aorta.- 11.4 Zum oberen Abschnitt der suprarenalen Aorta.- 12 Zugang zur A. coeliaca.- 12.1 Rechter Zugang durch das kleine Netz.- 12.2 Linker Zugang durch das Ligamentum gastrocolicum.- 13 Zugang zur A. mesenterica superior.- 13.1 Infraduodenaler Zugang.- 13.2 Infrapankreatischer Zugang.- 14 Zugang zu den Aa. renales.- 14.1 Infracolischer Zugang zum renalen Aortensegment.- 14.2 Supracolischer Zugang zur linken A. renalis.- 14.3 Supracolischer Zugang zur rechten A. renalis.- 15 Zugang zur V. cava inferior.- 15.1 Retroperitonealer Zugang.- 15.2 Transperitonealer Zugang.- 15.3 Zugang zur suprarenalen V. cava inferior.- 16 Zugang zur V. portae.- 17 Zugang zu den Beckengefäßen.- 17.1 Transperitonealer Zugang zur rechten A. iliaca.- 17.2 Transperitonealer Zugang zur linken A. iliaca.- 17.3 Retroperitonealer Zugang zu den Beckengefäßen.- 17.4 Zugang zu den Glutealarterien.- 17.5 Vorgehen beim Obturatorbypass.- 18 Zugang zu den Oberschenkelgefäßen.- 18.1 Zur Femoralisgabel.- 18.2 Zur A. femoralis superficialis im Oberschenkelbereich.- 18.3 Zur A. femoralis superficialis in Höhe des Adduktorenkanals.- 18.4 Zur A. profunda femoris.- 19 Zugang zur A. poplitea.- 19.1 Medialer Zugang.- 19.1.1 Zum 1.

Springer Verlag ECMO-Extracorporeal Life Support in Adults
Book SynopsisExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been in clinical use for some 40 years, but it is only in the past decade that its application in the treatment of life-threatening circulatory and respiratory failure has truly flourished.This book presents a comprehensive overview of both pathophysiological and practical aspects of circulatory and respiratory extracorporeal support. The basics of ECMO, including its history, the “ECMO team”, cannulation, materials, and blood-surface interactions, are first discussed. The various indications for and particular characteristics of circulatory and respiratory extracorporeal life support are then described in detail in the main part of the book. Patient care during ECMO and monitoring of the ECMO patient are also carefully covered, with explanation of the management of technical and clinical complications and transport-related problems. Further topics include long-term therapy options beyond ECMO, such as ventricular assist devices and transplants, outcome, the new frontiers of ECMO for organ procurement and future challenges.The authors are well-known experts in the field whose authoritative contributions and attention to practical aspects will be invaluable for novices and experienced practitioners alike.Trade ReviewFrom the book reviews:“This is a multiauthored, broad overview of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for various types of critical illness. … The audience includes senior trainees in cardiopulmonary critical care and intensivists facing difficult cardiopulmonary support problems and major surgical procedures. … Chapters are clearly written with well done illustrations, tables, line drawings, and photographs. … this well written overview from a national group of authorities is both timely and relevant.” (David J.
