Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG ACR BI-RADS®-Atlas der Mammadiagnostik:
Book SynopsisDieses Buch ist die offiziell genehmigte, deutsche Übersetzung des ACR BI-RADS®-Atlas in seiner fünften Auflage. Der ACR BI-RADS®-Atlas ist ein qualitätssicherndes Werkzeug zur Standardisierung des Berichtswesens, der Unklarheiten in der Befundung der Mammadiagnostik wie auch bei den Vorschlägen zum weiteren Vorgehen verringern soll. Er macht die Ergebnisse von Instituten wie auch von einzelnen Befundern vergleichbarer und leichter kontrollierbar und verbessert somit die Versorgungsqualität für die Patientinnen. Inhalt: Der ACR BI-RADS®-Atlas umfasst das Spektrum der in der Praxis etablierten und wissenschaftlich fundierten Bildgebung der Mamma und besteht aus vier Teilen Mammografie, Sonographie der Mamma, Magnetresonanztomografie der Mamma sowie Nachkontrolle und Ergebnisüberwachung, in dem das klinisch relevante Audit und das erweiterte Audit der medizinischen Qualitätskontrolle erläutert werden. Nach einem jeweils einführenden Kapitel zu den drei bildgebenden diagnostischen Methoden folgt ein Atlasteil mit klaren Angaben zu den diagnostischen Kriterien wie Form, Rand, Verkalkungen, Kriterien der Kontrastmittelaufnahme etc., die sich durch klare Definitionen und einheitliche Benennungen auszeichnen. Für jedes Beschreibungskriterium wird hochqualitatives Bildmaterial gezeigt. Danach erläutert jeweils ein Kapitel, wie ein Befund erstellt werden sollte. Ziel ist es, anhand einer klaren und eindeutigen Diktion ohne adjektivische Ausschmückungen die Malignitätswahrscheinlichkeit einer Veränderung einzustufen, die sog. Festlegungskategorien 0-6 nach BI-RADS®, und auf dieser Grundlage ebenso klare Handlungsempfehlungen zur weiteren Aufarbeitung auszusprechen, die vom Vergleich mit Voraufnahmen über weitere bildgebende Diagnostik bis zur Empfehlung der Gewebediagnose mittels Biopsie reichen. Eingehend werden die Unterschiede von Screening- und diagnostischen Kategorisierungen abgehandelt. Der Leser findet jeweils im Kapitel "Hilfestellung" praktischen Rat zur Anwendung der deskriptiven Terminologie der einzelnen Verfahren, zur richtigen Verwendung der BI-RADS® Kategorien und zur Konkordanz von Befund und Handlungsempfehlung, abgeschlossen durch ein Schlusskapitel mit häufig gestellten Fragen und den Antworten darauf. Am Ende der diagnostischen Kapitel stehen komprimierte Formblätter, die dem Leser als Vorlage zu seinem Befundungssystem dienen können. Damit geht dieses Buch weit über den Rahmen eines Atlas hinaus, es ist eine große normative Hilfe für alle Probleme der Screening- und der diagnostischen Bildgebung.Trade Review“... Es findet sich hochqualitatives Bildmaterial für jedes Beschreibungskriterium. … Ein gelungenes und umfassendes Werk, das mit den ausführlichen Erläuterungen, den Hilfestellungen am Ende eines jeden Kapitels sowie dem neu eingefügten Teil IV „Hilfestellung" weit über den Rahmen eines Atlas hinausgeht. Das umfangreiche, aber doch gut lesbare Nachschlagewerk ist sowohl für den Einsteiger als auch für den versierten Mamma-Radiologen eine große Hilfe in der täglichen Routine ...” (Dr.med. Martina Pinkhart, Sigrid Bode, in: Der Radiologe, Heft 12, Dezember 2017)Table of ContentsMammografie.- Sonografie.- Magnetresonanztomografie.- Nachkontrolle und Ergebnisüberwachung.

Springer Physiology and Pathology in the Perinatal Period
Book SynopsisThe course of history is never one of smooth progression. Periods of relative quietness are interrupted by periods of wars and revolution. This pattern resembles that of a river which, before flowing into the delta, has to pass countless rapids. The same holds for the development of the science of medicine. In obstetrics some of these 'revolutions' or 'rapids' consist of the introduction of conservative obstetrical treatment by Lucas Johann Boer at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the discovery of the cause of puerperal sepsis by Oliver Wendell Holmes and Semmelweiss between 1843 and 1847, the introduction of the principle of asepsis by Pasteur in 1874, the introduction of prenatal care at the end of the nine teenth and the beginning of the twentieth century (Mijnlieff, Treub, De Snoo), the improvement of surgical techniques, the possibility to treat shock by bloodtransfusion, and, finally, the acquisition of new means for the effective therapy of infection. All these developments have led to a sharp reduction of maternal and perinatal mortality. In this connection it must be pointed out that such a reduction could never have been accomplished without the favourable social changes as a result of which medical and prenatal care could be made universally available. In recent years there has been another revolutionary develop ment in obstetrics. Two factors have been responsible for this: the ap plication of basic sciences in obstetrics, and the dissolution of the isolation with respect to other clinical disciplines.Table of ContentsPreface.- Gas exchange between mother and foetus and placental design.- Glucose metabolism in the foetus in physiological and pathological circumstances.- Intrauterine pressure and the human foetus.- Foetal heartmonitoring and biochemical examination of the child during labour.- Iatrogenic fetal hypoxia.- The influence of anesthetic drugs on the foetus and newborn.- The influence of anesthesia on the acid-base values of mother and child.- Treatment of asphyxia of the newborn.- The incidence and treatment of hypoglycemia in the newborn.- Panel discussion Part I.- Panel discussion Part II.- Comparison of ventilators for newborns and prematures.- Artificial ventilation of infants.- Pathological findings in ventilated newborns.- Summing-up.- Panel discussion.- Index of subjects.

Pan Stanford Publishing Pte Ltd Gynaecologic Cancer: A Handbook for Students and
Book SynopsisGynaecologic oncology is one of the most important subjects in gynaecology and a very challenging field. The management of patients with gynaecological cancers is complex, as the impact of the outcome of such cancers can be critical. This handbook covers the basics of carcinogenesis and the advances in the prevention and management of all gynaecologic cancers, including breast cancer. Gynaecologic oncology has always been perceived as the most difficult subject in obstetrics and gynaecology, but this handbook proves it otherwise. The text is presented in a systematic and easy-to-understand manner and is supplemented by plenty of images and illustrations and up-to-date references from established sources. The book also introduces readers to the new FIGO 2009 staging system and will be a very useful reference for researchers and clinicians.Trade Review"This comprehensive handbook covers the essentials of gynaecological oncology. The text includes all pelvic tumours as well as breast cancer, cancer in pregnancy, and fertility-sparing possibilities. It outlines well the complications of treatment with the basics of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This is a good book for the aspiring junior doctor to have as a guide for current clinical practice and to review before ‘that exam’. A well-worth buy!"Prof. John H. Shepherd, Royal Marsden Hospital, UK"This book presents a comprehensive collection of information on gynaecologic oncology in a systematic and easy-to-understand manner.

The University of Chicago Press The Maternal Imprint The Contested Science of
Book SynopsisTrade Review"An outstanding depiction of the mutual constitution of science and society. Cleverly unpacking the complex history of scientific debates on so-called 'maternal impressions' (later, 'maternal effects') on offspring and future generations, author Sarah Richardson unveils the epistemological origins of concepts we take for granted today. . . . The book is an epistemological provocation, a reminder that science is a political enterprise, and an invitation to produce knowledge that empowers women instead of knowledge that makes them solely responsible for our collective future." * Science *"[A] rigorous academic study... Policymakers, health-care providers, and scientific researchers will want to take note." * Publishers Weekly *“Sarah Richardson’s book The Maternal Imprint… argues that social assumptions about maternal responsibility lend ideas in this field more credibility than they deserve on the basis of the data. Her argument will be interesting to researchers, pregnant nerds and policymakers.” * Nature *"Richardson explains and challenges much of what I (and probably you) take for granted about human pregnancy and the role of mothers in fetal development. Richardson brilliantly confronts notions that some women are 'bad mothers' who imperil the welfare of their offspring by not taking care of themselves sufficiently while pregnant. . . . The Maternal Imprint is a thoroughly researched, amusing, and confronting book that should be essential reading for anyone interested in epigenetics, infant health, and how these interact with race and social class." * FASEB Journal *"Enlightening. . . . What is particularly compelling about Richardson's approach is that by situating the field’s challenges in a broader social and historical context, we get a sense of why they matter. . . . In the likelihood that epigenetics might be used to explore the long shadow of our current trauma, Richardson's book offers an important lens through which we can regard claims about the role of maternal bodies." * Lancet *"The inheritance of acquired traits is not a heresy in medicine, but the basis of an enormously productive research program... Richardson puts this research in its historical context and takes a critical look at its basic assumptions, methods and conclusions." * Archyde *"In this volume, historian and philosopher of science Richardson... provides a historical overview and an analysis of debates, theories, and research about epigenetics and gene expression, spanning from Weismann’s expression of deterministic germ plasma theory in the late 19th century to current epigenetics and theory about the developmental origins of health and disease as articulated in the early 21st century." * CHOICE *"Beliefs about which specific maternal behaviors or experiences have lasting effects on gestating offspring have shifted widely over time. . . . [Richardson] gives this rich history a clearer context in the discussion of reproductive responsibility." * Harvard Gazette *"Richardson concisely and vividly presents how medical and scientific thinking about the contribution of mothers and fathers to the development of offspring developed. Richardson's thoroughly compelling book . . . shows the ideological complexity of modern science." * Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung *"The Maternal Imprint will be of interest to a trans-disciplinary audience in that it provides a historical critique of science that is well-versed in the scientific claims and attuned to the influence of culture on science. This trans-disciplinary book provides a framework for both biological and social scientists to think about the values and assumptions that have guided their disciplines' perspectives on the maternal body and infant health." * Metascience *“[Richardson’s] compelling interpretation cleanly cuts through the posited difference between genetics and epigenetics, ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ heredity. Far from challenging genetic determinism, epigenetic pregnancy research ‘advances a model of human inheritance and development in which the wider social and physical environment can be seen as heritable and as determinant of future biomedical outcomes.’ Constructions of epigenetics as bridging the gap between social and biological processes resonate widely in STS and gender studies, even among critical scholars; Richardson’s book is a thought-provoking intervention.” * Isis *“Richardson’s book is rigorous, entertaining, informative, and politically important.” * Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal *“Academically robust and meticulously researched, The Maternal Imprint is a pleasurable and engaging read that will appeal to a wide audience, including the public and undergraduate students.” * Childhood in the Past *"A rich, elegantly argued analysis of the long history of scientific and popular thinking about 'maternal effects' on the fetuses that women gestate, full of well-articulated plunges into the archives of scientific texts and journals in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This is an important, beautifully researched, and well-written book by an author whose prior works have literally changed their fields." -- Rayna Rapp, New York University"Richardson reveals that epigenetics is not just the newest cutting-edge, pro-social, plasticity-favoring, anti-genetic, and anti-reductionist field to emerge from modern molecular genetics. Rather, it is also the vector of newly problematic images and social roles that limit women and diminish the status of pregnancy and motherhood, in ways that are disturbingly similar to nineteenth-century societal notions of women's roles. Richardson's exquisitely documented arguments will be compelling to all with an interest in the complex interface of science and society." -- Michael J. Wade, Indiana University"This is a major contribution from a feminist STS scholar who deftly interweaves scientific, epistemological, and ethical considerations into a tour-de-force book on a topic with implications for mothers, families, and communities." -- Alexandra Minna Stern, author of Eugenic Nation: Faults and Frontiers of Better Breeding in Modern AmericaTable of Contents1.

The University of Chicago Press Partial Stories Maternal Death from Six Angles
Book SynopsisTrade Review“A well-written, compelling, dynamic narrative that broadens and complicates readers’ understanding of the contributing causes and impacts of maternal mortality. . . . Highly recommended.” * Choice *“Partial Stories offers a new narrative about maternal death in Africa by undermining ‘the notion that any of the single stories we already think we know is definitive.’ . . . The care Wendland put into thinking about how to tell the stories she shares is evident throughout.” * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *“I really enjoyed reading this book. . . . It’s a book that, to me, speaks to the reader’s humanity at least as much as it speaks to their intellect.” * New Books Network *"Written by an ethnographer and obstetrician, this wide-ranging and comprehensive book offers a much more nuanced picture of maternal deaths and maternal health than much of the literature on critical global health can do—and it does so out of a commitment and an expertise, yet also a humility and curiosity that is often lacking in critical global health scholarship. It fills an important gap." -- Ruth Jane Prince, University of Oslo"At last maternal mortality, that raging topic in obstetric, global health, and epidemiology circles, receives the sophisticated, complex, qualitative, and nuanced treatment it has long deserved. By emphasizing partialities and sharing stories, this anthropology offers up an important set of diagnostics about why so many poor, black, African women still die in pregnancy and childbirth, and how these death scenes unfold and what they conceal." -- Nancy Rose Hunt, author of A Colonial Lexicon: Of Birth Ritual, Medicalization, and Mobility in the CongoTable of ContentsIntroductionBonnex Kaunda: “There are too many goings-on these days.” 1 Dangerous ModernitiesAgnesi Kunjirima: “You can make your pregnancy safe.” 2 Knowing BodiesLillian Siska: “I help them right here at home.” 3 Ambivalent TechnologiesChimwemwe Bruce: “Changes, yes, but no development.” 4 Abundant ScarcityRhoda Nantongwe: “By the time she comes to the hospital, it is too late.” 5 Countless AccountingsDyna Ng’ong’ola and Kettie Pensulo: “Women in this community are very much concerned.” 6 Fragile Authority Conclusion Glossary of Chichewa Terms Key People and Places Abbreviations Acknowledgments References Notes Index

Rutgers University Press Patient Citizens Immigrant Mothers Mexican Women
Book SynopsisAccording to the Latina health paradox, Mexican immigrant women have less complicated pregnancies and more favourable birth outcomes than many other groups, in spite of socioeconomic disadvantage.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Book SynopsisFeaturing a range of commonly encountered and important conditions in women's health, Obstetrics & Gynaecology: Clinical Cases Uncovered allows the reader to understand normal reproductive physiology and anatomy in the context of clinical practice. It highlights aspects of good practice which in real life are considered beyond the presenting symptom. This unique case-based approach allows the reader to progress through each stage, gaining an understanding of the rationale for investigation and management and to consider other important aspects for holistic care. Obstetrics & Gynaecology: Clinical Cases Uncovered is ideal for medical students and junior doctors, obstetrics and gynaecology trainees, midwives and nurse practitioners.Trade Review"I have purchased three of your books: Paediatics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, and Haematology. I have found the story-telling style and the level of detail contained in the cases to be balanced nicely so that it retains a realism that other case books lack and that reader remains engaged in the outcome of the investigations and the end-point of the case. All in all, these series make for interesting and entertaining reads which ultimately renders them an excellent learning tool.” - Medical Student,Trinity College Dublin "I think that junior doctors and surgical care practitioners will find this to be a useful reference source. Junior doctors will particularly appreciate the book for revision purposes. Perioperative educationalists will gain some benefit from reading as will any practitioner working in obstetrics and gynaecology that wishes to understand more about the specialty than what is presented in front of them on a daily basis." - Journal of Perioperative Practice, 1 February 2011 "This volume provides concise coverage of a range of relevant clinical scenarios, with logical explanations along the way. It does not seek to replace topic or system-based texts, but represents good value for money as a learning adjunct, particularly for newcomers to the specialty." - The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, 2010Table of ContentsPreface.

Springer London Ltd Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: A Multidisciplinary Approach
Book SynopsisThis book provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive aspects of evaluation and therapy of female pelvic floor dysfunction. It is edited by well-known international surgeons with clinical practices within one tertiary referral institution, the Pelvic Floor Center at Cleveland Clinic Florida in Weston (Fort Lauderdale), Florida which serves as a National and International referral center for women with symptomatic pelvic floor problems. Recognized worldwide for its excellence, Cleveland Clinic departments of Gynecology, Urology, and Colorectal Surgery have combined their expertise in producing this text. Focused on urinary incontinence & other voiding dysfunctions, fecal incontinence & other distal gastroenterologic problems, genital and rectal prolapse, & other recognized pelvic floor problems, the book should be of great interest to the practicing Gynecologist/Urogynecologist, Urologist, and Colorectal Surgeon as well as Sexual Dysfunction specialist, Gastroenterologist and Physical Therapist. Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "The authors wanted the book to translate the concept of a center approach to diseases of the pelvic floor where experts from all the three specialties that manage pelvic floor disorders provide their input. Indeed the authors were successful in getting together experts from their centers to contribute to a nicely organized book that translate their vision. Overall this is a well organized book that fulfills the vision of combining all the diseases of pelvic floor disorders in one text. I like the idea of grouping the disease entities under common syndromes to all the organ systems. I think that the cross talk among the three different specialties that deal with pelvic floor disorders will definitely help our patient population and I hope that the concept of a unified center/specialty will become a widely adapted practice pattern for the same reason." (Adonis K. Hijaz, Doody Enterprises, Inc. - COPYRIGHT 2006) "The information provided in this publication will be of interest for an interdisciplinary approach to pelvic floor diseases; helpful not only for urologists but for all practitioners involved in the treatment of these patients." (Paul Meria, European Urology Today, August 2006, page 33) "This book deals with the pelvic floor as a whole, mixing urologic, gynaecologic and colorectal situations. This is in accordance with the multidisciplinary approach many centres try to set up today for the greatest benefit of the patients. … it could be of interest for the general surgeon or the trainee, looking for an easy and complete overview of this field."

John Wiley & Sons Inc Premature Menopause
Book SynopsisUncertainty and negative expectations are common responses to the menopause. When it happens too early (sometimes as young as 16) it can be particularly distressing with concerns about physical health, as well as possible social and emotional consequences. Young women are faced with a condition, the causes of which are not well understood, and about which very little is written in medical or lay literature. In medical texts premature menopause is typically mentioned only in passing, and from the woman's perspective it remains a hidden secret. This can only compound the difficulty for women for whom the life process has suddenly swept into fast forward. Premature menopause can have profound implications both for the woman herself and her partner and family. She is faced with physical and emotional concerns that are usually not considered until much later in life, such as: will she age prematurely? will she need to take long-term medication? will she come to terms with loss of fertility? are there alternative treatments? are there consequences for her future health?Table of ContentsSection 1. Biological, Psychological and Social Dilemmas. Aetiology. Diagnosis and Prognosis. Psychological and Social Meanings. Section 2.

Mac Keith Press An Atlas of Neonatal Brain Sonography
Book SynopsisThis Atlas covers the entire spectrum of brain disease as studied with ultrasound, illustrated throughout with superb-quality images. It is aimed at neonatologists and radiologists confronted with everyday clinical questions on the neonatal ward. Most newborn brain disorders can be identified with ultrasound; this book will therefore be particularly useful in settings with limited MRI facilities. Prenatal ultrasound specialists will also find it valuable as a postnatal reference in their field of interest. Suggestions for differential diagnosis accompany all the sonographic findings, guiding the clinician in proceeding from an abnormal image to a diagnosis. This second edition of the Atlas has been brought up to date to include the many advances in technique and interpretation that have been made in the past decade. The images have been replaced with new ones of higher quality, and all the line artwork has been standardised and improved. Readership Neonatologists, radiologists, neuroradiologists with an interest in neonatal ultrasound From reviews of the first edition: "This is the most challenging and comprehensive book on this theme, and is an essential reference for clinicians to make a correct diagnosis." —Satoshi Takada, Brain and Development "This can be little doubt that this title represents the definitive work on neonatal cranial ultrasound. The authors have had extensive experience in the use of ultrasound scanning the neonatal brain for almost as long as ultrasound has been used to investigate intracranial pathology on the neonatal unit. Their combined experience is most impressive." —Malcolm Leven, Archives of Disease in ChildhoodTrade Review"It is times such as this that an atlas showcasing clear examples of pathology can be turned to for guidance and pieced together with physical examination and behavioral assessments of the infant to determine the proper course of further treatment. This book should be kept handy in the newborn nursery, neonatal intensive care, and pediatric clinics following up with children born with any type of congenital or acquired brain injury." (MedicalScienceBooks.com, 2012) "This is a superb book with wonderful illustrations and is probably the most comprehensive text on neonatal cranial sonography." (Doody's, October 2010) "This revised edition not only includes improved ultrasonic imaging as a result of technological advancements but also highlights the advantages of using additional acoustic windows for greater visualisation of the neonatal brain. The author’s foresight in combining the sonographic images with the far superior image resolution of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows the reader a more accurate reflection of the underlying pathology in question. Scattered throughout each chapter is additional diagrams, specimen photographs, schematics and tables to give a well rounded but succinct synopsis of the intended subject discussed ...I would highly recommend this atlas accompany the clinician during any cranial ultrasound examination of the newborn as the overall layout allows for quick referencing and can only improve the quality of the examination."
