Neonatal medicine Books

Book SynopsisNeonatal hematology is a fast-growing field, and the majority of sick neonates will develop hematological problems. This is an essential guide to the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of hematologic problems in the neonate. Guidance is practical, including blood test interpretation, advice on transfusions and reference ranges for hematological values. Chapters have been thoroughly revised according to the latest advances in the field for this updated third edition. Topics discussed include erythrocyte disorders, platelet disorders, leukocyte disorders, immunologic disorders and hemostatic disorders. Coverage of oncological issues has been expanded to two separate chapters on leukemia and solid tumors, making information more easily accessible. Approaches to identifying the cause of anemia in a neonate are explained, with detailed algorithms provided to aid clinicians in practice. Covering an important hematologic niche with an ever increasing amount of specialized knowledge, this Trade Review'This third edition represents another step forward in the development of this reference book. The world-renowned editors and authors have made this book the 'go-to' reference for this topic.General texts on neonatology and hematology can only devote limited space to these topics and there is no other comparable book that has been published recently to which this one can be compared … this book will be an important resource for the healthcare providers caring for this vulnerable population.'

Book SynopsisIn recent decades, global healthcare professionals and organisations have formed a wide, evidence-based consensus that breastfeeding is usually the best option for both mother and baby. However, women and professionals alike often face a sea of shifting attitudes and values, and complex social, cultural, political and economic factors that may influence women's feeding decisions. This book examines the global evidence, and the factors that affect women's decisions around initiating breastfeeding and maintaining it through the first year of their children's lives. It outlines potential areas for development and policy change at practitioner and strategic levels, and shows how health professionals can effectively communicate and provide information to help women make unpressured but informed decisions. Breastfeeding - Contemporary Issues in Practice and Policy is essential reading for healthcare professionals, policy movers and shapers, and all those with an interest in breastfeeding who wish to influence the development of related policies, practices and healthcare services.Table of ContentsIntroduction. Exploring the Politics and Practices of Breastfeeding. The Promotion of Breastfeeding: A Time and a Need to Change.

Book SynopsisRationalization is concerned with making the most effective use of the resources available. In many places where this process is taking place it is plagued with public opposition and misunderstanding. Hitherto rationalization in the acute care sector has primarily been concerned with closing sites closing beds moving beds between services and moving beds from one site to another. This book discusses the need for rationalization in the context of health service reforms and future strategy. It considers recent changes in the health service the case for rationalization health care needs the role of public relations the future of the acute care hospital site and facilities appraisal and the costs of rationalization. The text is essential reading for managers and clinicians involved in acute care services non-executive members of boards and trusts and students of health services management.Table of ContentsThe importance of birthweight.

Book SynopsisNeonatal intensive care unit (NICU) teams in the US and around the world receive performance reports that locate their particular value for selected process and outcome measures within the range of values from all reporting NICUs. Understandably, many providers focus primarily, if not exclusively, on their particular value. When a value appears undesirable, providers often justify it in an apparent reflex response rather than critically analysing their data. Exceedingly few reflect on the width or implications of the range within which their performance lies. Standard medical education does not include these skills, yet unwarranted practice variation necessarily compromises a population’s overall quality of care. Researchers report wide variation in health care resource use with little connection to patient outcomes, challenging the belief that directing incrementally more resources at certain healthcare problems necessarily produces better results. This book provides requisite knowledge to enable readers without research expertise to understand the notion of unwarranted practice variation, how to recognize it, its ubiquity, and why it is generally undesirable – why narrowing is pervasiveness improves quality. The book begins by describing practice variation, its prevalence, and why it matters. Next, it examines alternative conceptualizations of NICU work. One view is task-oriented, while the other is aim-oriented. NICU teams rarely articulate their aims explicitly, so this book offers examples that guide thinking and action. Finally, this book asks, “Which rate is 'right'; what is the performance target?” The answer entails identifying the lowest resource use rate associated with desirable outcomes. This requires data describing efficient and predictably performing provision of current evidence-based care, along with relationships to a variety of outcomes. Provider conceptualization of healthcare quality also is often vague. The challenge lies in defining this notion operationally. This book does precisely that and gives readers tools to think critically about process, outcome, and quality measures, via some understanding of systems, risk-adjustment modelling, and discriminating signal from noise in process data.Table of Contents 1. What is practice variation and why should we care about it? 2. Clinical Care: Why do we do what we do? Exactly what are we trying to achieve? 3.

Book SynopsisDie sich rasch wandelnde Lehre in der studentischen Ausbildung machte es erforderlich, das K- zept der ersten Auflage gründlich zu überdenken. Die Texte der ersten Auflage wurden von Wissen, welches sich eher an Facharztanwärter richtete, befreit und inhaltlich überarbeitet und damit auf ein studentisches Publikum ausgerichtet. Zusätzliche Kapitel sprechen die wichtigen Notfälle, die Infektionen in der Schwangerschaft und gerade auch die Leitsymptome an, die in keinem Stud- tenlehrbuch fehlen dürfen. Gerade die Leitsymptome als auch das Fallquiz, welches das diagn- tische Denken vom Leitsymptom zur Diagnose bis hin zur daraus folgenden Therapie schulen soll, spiegeln den problemorientierten Lehransatz, welcher mittlerweile in den meisten Universitäten in Deutschland nach Einführung der jetzt gültigen Approbationsordnung Einzug gefunden hat, wider . Natürlich dient das Buch auch in besonderem Maße den Kolleginnen und Kollegen in der Weiterbildung sehr gut als Unterstützung, basiert es doch auf den klassischen drei Säulen unseres Faches: 1. Reproduktionsmedizin und gynäkologische Endokrinologie 2. Pränatalmedizin und Geburtshilfe und 3. Onkologie und operative Gynäkologie. Die Didaktik wurde grundlegend erneuert. Übersichten, Merke- und Cave-Auszeichnungen und die jedem wichtigen Krankheitsbild folgenden Zusammenfassungen bilden einen Rahmen, über den sich dem Lernenden das Wissen leicht erschließen kann. Zusätzliche Praxistipps bieten nützliche H- weise zur praktischen Handhabung, die später am Patienten sehr nützlich sein können. Die bewährten Fallbeispiele in den Kapiteln geben einen ersten Einblick in den Alltag im Krankenhaus. Wir möchten allen Kolleginnen und Kollegen danken, die mit ihrer entsprechenden Fachk- petenz als Autoren die entsprechenden Kapitel verfasst haben.Trade ReviewAus den Rezensionen zur 2.

Book SynopsisBirth is a sudden, traumatic transition of environments. Once the placental oxygen supply ceases, the foetus has only minutes to establish pulmonary oxygen transport, which requires not only inflation of the lungs, but also sudden and sustained changes in the lung circulation. Not long ago, research in this field was largely restricted to morphology and physiology. Now the powerful new tools of cellular and molecular biology have begun to shed light on the physiological processes in the developing lung and its supporting vasculature. In 22 chapters, three main sections explore lung growth and development, vascular cell growth and differentiation, and the mechanisms of hemodynamic control in the neonate; extensive illustrations give a comprehensive picture of pulmonary circulatory development. Factors controlling vasculogenesis and angiogenesis are described by the scientists who pioneered the field. Similarly, the intracellular signaling cascades that determine proliferation oTrade Review"Four Stars! **** "The Contributors are all top-notch experts in their respective fields...In each section a topic is examined in exceptional detail. "...a unique and valuable text, providing the investigator and clinician with ‘one-stop shopping’ for timely, detailed, and important information about pulmonary vascular development during fetal and newborn life." Doody’s Review Service "...a most excellent work, The Fetal and Neonatal Pulmonary Circulation aims to "inform the basic scientist as well as the clinician and student, and to provide a benchmark in the field as we approach the next millennium." The resulting text serves these ambitions superbly. "The editors have selected an impressive group of experts to contribute chapters which cover a wide range of topics, from the history of fetal and neonatal pulmonary vascular physiology, to vascular-cell growth and differentiation, to the factors and disorders, including congenital diaphragmatic hernia, which affect pulmonary hemodynamics in the newborn. "...In an era in which the distance between the basic scientist and busy clinician seems to be ever wider, I am particularly impressed by the way in which basic science and clinical medicine fuse into a continuum in this excellent book. The Fetal and Neonatal Pulmonary Circulation shows that when we try to work together, we can. It must be the definitive work in the area. More of the same in other areas of medicine please."
