Thieme Medical Publishers Inc Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Practical Approach
Book SynopsisThe definitive book on reverse shoulder arthroplasty from leading orthopaedic shoulder surgeons This masterful book from top experts provides clinical insights on reverse shoulder arthroplasty gleaned from hands-on refinement of shoulder replacement techniques. Years of significant biomechanical and clinical research yielded invaluable knowledge that led to important improvements in functional outcome and implant durability. Among these refinements were stronger polyethylene derivatives, better ingrowth technology, and improved connection devices. As the durability and longevity of implant technology increased, younger active patients became suitable candidates for this procedure. In fact, RSA has played a pivotal role in making shoulder arthroplasty the fastest growing implant technology. In the first two sections, the authors take the reader through the history and evolution of RSA, followed by step-by-step surgical techniques for specific injuries and conditions. The next three sections discuss past and recent outcomes, complications, and rehabilitation. The last section covers special considerations including patient specific instrumentation, convertible humeral and glenoid components, and the future potential of stemless humeral technology. Key Features The latest trends in patient-specific components, guide systems, and instrument design The use of RSA for rotator cuff repair, shoulder arthritis, and acute and complex fractures In-depth discussion of techniques to improve deltoid function, avoid impingement, and increase implant longevity Clinical pearls on how to recognize and handle complications that occur: instability, infection, scapular notching, component loosening, glenoid and humeral bone loss, and RSA failure High quality videos and 300 superb illustrations further delineate techniques This book is a practical resource that enables learning complex procedures, putting them into practice, and handling complications should they arise. It is an essential tool for all orthopaedic surgeons who treat shoulder conditions.Table of ContentsThe Basics 1. History of Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty 2.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Advances in Medicine and Biology. Volume 155:
Book SynopsisAdvances in Medicine and Biology. Volume 155 reviews whether the non-surgical and non-pharmacological interventions commonly used for knee osteoarthritis patients are effective and, if effective, which ones are the most effective. For this, randomized controlled trials were identified through electronic databases. Following this, the authors discuss how the early identification of target subjects who are at high cardiometabolic risk is important for critical lifestyle interventions and pharmacological management strategies. Additionally, they discuss the diversity, biotechnological applications and sustainable bioproduction of chitinases enzyme from Streptomyces origin, as well as their properties, production and potential applications in the industrial and biotechnological spheres. New strategies such as the use of atomic force microscopy, the isolation of cardiomyocytes, primary culturing in different types of substrates as well as transcriptomic studies are enabling the understanding of how these cells can be affected by different pathologies. As such, in this compilation these issues are updated by analyzing how new approaches to basic aspects of the structure and physiology of cardiomyocytes can be of clinical relevance. This collection also discusses chitotriosidase and acidic mammalian chitinase belonging to the chitinase family. This family includes 18 chitinases united by the features of their molecular structure. Degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis is a common, multifactorial process also associated with aging, which frequently causes central canal stenosis. Several types of interbody fusion procedures that may treat of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis are examined, particularly lateral lumbar interbody fusion. The final chapter explores the role surgical intervention plays in the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Musculoskeletal Diseases: Types, Causes &
Book SynopsisMusculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) are one of the leading classes of health effects and can be caused by various factors, work related and non-work related. MSD refers to health related problems of the locomotor apparatus, i.e. health problems of the skeleton, ligament, muscles, tendons, joints, nerves and cartilage. Rates of musculoskeletal disorders vary by population, their age groups, genders, socioeconomic aspects and other factors. These factors can affect our understanding of the prevalence, incidence, and costs of musculoskeletal disorders aside from the variability of actual prevalence or incidence rates due to etiologic issues or costs due to illness or injury severity or treatment response and recovery. This book provides an analysis of costs of musculoskeletal disorders of employed individuals. It also discusses the application of differential scanning calorimetry for the diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders, and the effects of stretching and sensory motor training for older adults with musculoskeletal disorders.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Cervical Spine Injuries: Epidemiology, Long-Term
Book SynopsisSpinal cord injury (SCI), and in particular cervical SCI, remains a devastating and catastrophic event for patients, their families and society, often producing severe and permanent disability. Moreover, the emotional and psychological consequences of coping with a disabling injury can be profound. SCIs are very often permanent, yet potentially preventable. Despite significant medical and technological advances in recent years the overall mortality for spinal injury patients remains largely unchanged. Understanding the epidemiology, aetiology, medical and psychological factors associated with cervical spinal cord injury remains crucial in order to advance our knowledge on the identification of such devastating injuries, their possible prevention and ultimately on how to best manage the widespread physical, social and psychological effects of SCI at an individual and societal level. This book endeavors to describe the epidemiology of cervical spinal cord injury and to summarize some of the primary outcomes associated with this type of injury. We devote chapters to such key topics as: Operative and non-operative outcomes following SCI; whiplash injury; neurological, respiratory, gastrointestinal and urinary complications post cervical SCI and the psychological impact of cervical SCI; among others. This book does not provide an exhaustive background on the area of cervical spinal cord injury but rather compiles key information on the most commonly associated comorbid issues accompanying cervical spinal cord injury and encapsulates it to provide an accessible account of some principal topics relating to this particular type of SCI.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Fundamental Role of Muscle Contractures in
Book SynopsisIn the explanation of musculoskeletal disorders, the skeleton is usually put forward, and the muscles tend to be forgotten. This seems to be a mistake, and leads to some common misunderstandings, like osteoarthritis being the cause of joint pain, rheumatoid arthritis being an auto-immune disease, disc herniation as the cause of low back pain, meniscal injury as the cause of knee pain, etc. This in turn will lead to inappropriate treatments like painkillers - which sometimes kill the patient, and anyway never treat the root of the pain - or to avoidable surgery. Misunderstanding the role of muscle contractures in other ailments like scoliosis or migraine has not allowed so far a disease-modifying treatment. All the above-mentioned disorders can however be cured, in most cases, by manually treating the causal muscle contractures, which is rather simple. This book explains the origin, the mechanism and the consequences of muscle contractures, as well as the pathomechanisms of joint pains, scoliosis, migraine, and several other diseases, and the principles of their treatment. We will present several research studies showing the efficiency of a simple manual treatment of the contractured muscles that are the prime movers of these diseases.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Novel Challenges in Myasthenia Gravis
Book SynopsisMyasthenia gravis is a complex subject, multidisciplinary and challenging in terms of its clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects. This is evident in the gradual changes over time and in the variety of clinical presentations, the mutable therapeutic responses and the difficulties to standardize the evaluation of results. It is remarkable to review the many advances made in the field of myasthenia gravis. This book is proof of considerable progress made and of the fact that new knowledge today is acquired in shorter time than in the past. This acceleration is a signal of many successful technological advances in clinical and laboratory research. Even in myasthenia gravis, as in other research areas, researchers expect more from new achievements in rapid growing disciplines such as with immunology and genetics. To this, the authors'' wanted to draw the attention of the readers.

TFM Publishing Ltd Musculoskeletal Trauma Simplified: A casebook to
Book SynopsisThis book is a simple case-by-case approach to the many different types of orthopaedic fractures. The book is being written for residents, registrars, newly qualified doctors and medical students, primarily targeted to those in the fields of diagnostic radiology, orthopaedic surgery and emergency medicine. There are a variety of texts that exist in these fields to assist in acquiring knowledge; however, there lacks a text that provides simple images and explanations from which a fundamental base of skeletal trauma can be formed. Some of the standard textbooks are still too advanced and lack the basic knowledge. This book is divided into sections by anatomic location, each containing a number of cases presented as unknowns. A standard template is utilised for each case, including a brief clinical description, physical examination, followed by radiological images. The reader is then asked to interpret the plain films given. Several questions are then asked, including the most likely diagnosis and followed by brief discussions on radiological findings (with appropriate annotated images, as necessary) and clinical management. Finally, the case is concluded with a summary of key points. With this format readers can test their knowledge on important orthopaedic fractures as seen on a plain film. Furthermore, they can integrate this information with the standard clinical management involved with that specific disease entity.

Score: 80 - 3 Stars Reviewer Yasser R Farid, MD, MSc, PhD(University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine) Description This excellent review of musculoskeletal tumors features expert discussions of different tumors and tumor-like conditions of the skeleton as well as diagnosis and treatment, including nonsurgical alternatives and adjuvant therapies in a comprehensive, well-illustrated format. The previous edition was published in 2007. Purpose The purpose is to detail the current standard of care and recent advances in musculoskeletal oncology. The book covers various aspects of diagnosis and treatment including clinical, imaging, histological, and surgical information as well as the molecular features of the neoplasms. These are challenging objectives, but the book adequately meets them. Audience The book is written for oncologists as well as nonspecialists, including practicing surgeons, residents, and fellows. It is a valuable resource for test preparation as well as a clinical guide for orthopedic surgeons who might encounter bone or soft tissue lesions that need to be recognized and addressed appropriately. Features The book encompasses approaches to the diagnosis and staging of musculoskeletal tumors, including the safe, cost-effective use of various diagnostic modalities, treatment alternatives, future directions, and innovative potentials for cure. It reviews bone and soft tissue tumors including benign and malignant diseases, as well as metastatic disease of bone. This edition features a unique chapter on the surgical treatment of sarcomas in the skeletally immature patient that addresses treatment alternatives that allow tumor control while providing the utmost function and the least limb length discrepancy. A chapter on radiographic and histological differential diagnosis could have been a significant addition, instead of discussions of imaging modalities and histological features of various tumors in isolated chapters. Differential diagnosis of a lesion seen on plain radiographs optimizes a surgeon's decision about the need for referral and biopsy by a specialist. In addition, such a skill enables recognition of various tumors with overlapping histology, which remains a challenge to residents. Furthermore, it reduces functional and oncologic complications of inappropriate prereferral procedures. This could only be achieved with increasing the awareness of differential diagnosis upon initial evaluation of a radiograph that shows a bone lesion. Assessment Overall, this is an excellent update and a useful resource for orthopedic oncologists and general orthopedic surgeons.Table of ContentsSection 1 - General Evaluation and Treatment of Musculoskeletal Tumors Editor: R.
