Springer Nature Switzerland AG Clinical Cases in Neonatal and Infant Dermatology
Book SynopsisThis book is a concise practical guide designed to facilitate the clinical decision-making process in the management of neonates and infants. Dermatologists and general pediatricians who offer primary care to children must be knowledgeable in managing pediatric dermatological problems, and this title provides insightful reviews of a number of common and rare dermatologic cases. Clinical cases are a key component in modern medical education, assisting the trainee or recertifying clinician to work through unusual cases using best practice techniques. Pediatric dermatology is a particularly important discipline in this regard since it is a highly visual subject requiring the reader to describe often very subtle differences in the presentation of patients and define accurately the diagnostic and management criteria to base their clinical decision-making on. Clinical Cases in Neonatal and Infant Dermatology concisely covers how to approach diagnosing and managing skin disease in the very youngest patients. Each chapter focuses on a particular case and emphasizes how to make an appropriate choice when deciding which diagnostic tool or management strategy would be most suitable. Potential complications are detailed and management tips provided to enable the reader to develop a deep understanding of how approach the care of these patients within their day-to-day clinical practice. This book therefore represents an ideal up-to-date resource for all practitioners who encounter these conditions as part of their everyday practice.Table of ContentsA infant with generalized pimples and nodules.- A newborn with a large facial segmental vascular lesion.- A newborn with several white spots on the forehead.- A one-and-a-half-month-old boy with recurrent fever, heat intolerance and diminished sweating.- Acrodermatitis Enteropathica in a 7-month-old baby boy.- An 11-month-old child with a nodular lesion on her right buttock.- An eczematous lesion on the forehead of a three-month-old child.- An infant with disseminated red scaling papules.- Axillary Dermatitis in a newborn.- Baby girl with widespread lesions on the face and alopecic nodules of the scalp.- Benign Cephalic Histiocytosis.- Congenital skin scars.- Cryotherapy Treatment in Infantile Hemangioma.- Epidermolytic ichthyosis.- Incontinentia Pigmenti With Ocular Involvement.- Infantile erythroderma caused by focal infection.- Infantile hemangioma: successful treatment with topical treatment.- Infantile Type Atopic Dermatitis.- Kasabach-Merritt Syndrome.- Oral Isotretinoin Treatment Of Harlequin Ichthyosis.- Oral Propranolol Treatment for Infantile Hemangioma.- Perianal dermatitis.- Skin manifestation in congenital syphilis: a serial cases.- Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome.- Subcutaneous indurated plaques in a newborn.- Vesicles on the tongue of a 3-month-old baby.- A 1-year-old boy with multiple papules.- A Case of High Risk Multisystem Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis in 22 Months Old Boy.- A Case with erythema, scales and itching.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Problem of Practice Variation in Newborn
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. How do practice variation and quality improvement efforts relate? 4. The ubiquity of practice variation. 5. The Dartmouth Atlas of Neonatal Care. Author: David C. Goodman, MD, MS 6.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe
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.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Innovations In Neonatal-perinatal Medicine:
Book SynopsisInnovations in technology and new therapies have changed the face of medicine in the last few decades. These include advances in fetal diagnosis (preimplantation genetics, chorionic villous sampling and amniocentesis), drugs that have been developed to treat unique conditions in neonates such as respiratory distress syndrome (surfactant) and pulmonary hypertension (inhaled nitric oxide), as well as technological advances and interventions resulting in diagnostic (ultrasounds and MRI) and therapeutic interventions (intrauterine transfusion to ECMO). Research in fertility treatments has resulted in test tube babies and cloned animals, and that has also fostered technological advances in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.The primary purpose of Innovations in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine is to highlight these innovations in technology and therapy that have not only changed the way doctors deliver care to fetus and neonate but also reduced neonatal mortality thereby saving millions of lives in the process. These issues are addressed by the authors who are experts in their respective fields. The book will be valuable not only to healthcare providers but also to educators and policy makers.Table of ContentsGlobal Perspectives; IVF and Other Assisted Reproductive Technologies; Advances in Fetal Diagnosis; Fetal Imaging Technologies; Neonatal Imaging; Fetal and Neonatal Monitoring and Intervention Therapies; Regulation of Neonatal Environment; Advances in Neonatal Nutritional Care; Advances in Ventilatory Care of the Neonate; Respiratory Distress Syndrome; Antibiotics and Other Miracle Drugs; Impact of Innovations in Surgical Techniques; Impact of Neonatal Care on Society.
