Book SynopsisThis book is vital for physicians caring for young patients with urological conditions, as a quick reference book that is easy to read and well-illustrated. Pediatric urological conditions are fairly common, and infants and children are seen on daily basis with urological problems either in clinics or in hospitals. This book is useful to general surgeons, pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, fellows, residents, general physicians and family physicians, medical students and nurses. The Editor has gained experience in the diagnosis and management of various urological problems in infants and children, working in busy hospital over the last 25 years. Trade Review“A useful addition to the bookshelf and in particular to that of speciality trainees (urology or paediatric surgery) who may be undergoing exit exams, due to the pictorial illustrations which may assist with viva practice.” (Neil Featherstone, urologynews, urologynews.uk.com, May, 1, 2018)“This textbook is easy to read and well-illustrated. Each chapter displays many photographs and hand drawn figures. All paediatricians and urologists involved in paediatric surgery will be satisfied with this excellent work, which can be also recommended to trainees.” (European Urology Today, Vol. 29 (4), August-September, 2017)“It encompasses urological development, congenital and acquired problems, most of which are very specific to childhood, renal tumors of childhood, and reaches into areas of pediatric general surgery and gynecology that are proximate to the urological system. … This is a large, well done book that is also a fast and definitive read on all things related to childhood urology. Those looking to get acquainted with these topics or for a rapid, concise review will find this book valuable.” (Robert M. Arensman, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisCongenital glaucoma is a complex problem, which has been a frequent cause of blindness in the past. Over the past decades, the prognosis of congenital glaucoma has completely changed. Surgical results are very good and enable these children to integrate entirely as adults in society.Based on the authors’ accumulated experience of more than 50 years and 860 cases operated for congenital glaucoma, this well-structured and lavishly illustrated textbook-atlas covers all aspects of congenital and infantile glaucoma, such as the original method for examining new-borns under general anaesthesia in the slit-lamp, the signs and symptoms of the disease and the differential diagnosis, the role and importance of the echometry value for early diagnosis, the gonioscopy results and the three types of congenital glaucomas (pure, refractory and late) and the type of surgery to be performed in each case with the evaluation of follow-up long-term results. Written by renowned international experts of the field, this book will become the golden standard in the field of Pediatric and Congenital Glaucomas.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:"It is a comprehensive presentation of the diagnosis, treatment, and pathology of the various causes of glaucoma in children. … This work is intended for ophthalmologists who care for children with glaucoma. Its detailed figures and descriptions of surgical techniques make it ideal for glaucoma surgeons in training as well as practicing glaucoma specialists. … This book provides a unique and authoritative discussion of the diagnosis and surgical treatment of pediatric glaucoma." (Monte Dean Mills, Doody’s Review Service, May, 2009)“This hard-cover book … is divided into 28 chapters on different aspects of congenital glaucoma for specialists and residents. … The book is full of images, which makes it user-friendly… . All in all I would recommend this book, which is certainly a good asset for every glaucoma specialist to have as a reference.” (Michele Iester, Graefe’s Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Vol. 248, 2010)“Pediatric glaucomas is probably the most interesting and in-depth books on this topic I have ever read. … I highly recommend Pedriatic glaucoma. Besides being a valuable tool for ophthalmologists that deal with this fascinating and difficult topic, this book is surely beneficial for all doctors in search of greater knowledge beyond our modern technological world, which often causes us to forget about the ethical, humane, and non instrumental aspects of our day-to-day clinical work.”­­­ (Paolo Brusini, European Journal of Ophthalmology, 2011)Table of ContentsPrimary Congenital Glaucoma.- Pediatrics Glaucoma.

Book SynopsisDas kindliche Elektroenzephalogramm unterscheidet sich in wesentlichen Punkten vom EEG des Erwachsenen. In jeder Altersgruppe finden sich parallel zur Hirnentwicklung spezifische EEG-Muster, Normvarianten und pathologischen Veränderungen, deren Kenntnis für die Beurteilung essentiell ist. So gibt es eine Vielzahl altersabhängiger Epilepsieformen und anderer Krankheitsbilder, die im Erwachsenenalter unbekannt sind. Eine besondere Herausforderung stellt die Beurteilung des Neu- und Frühgeborenen-EEGs dar.Dieser Leitfaden klärt darüber auf, was bei EEG-Ableitungen im Säuglings- und Kleinkindesalter zu berücksichtigen ist und hilft dabei, EEG-Kurven richtig zu interpretieren und pathologische von normalen Mustern abzugrenzen. Das Buch ist ein unveränderter Nachdruck des gleichnamigen Kapitels aus dem Werk "Klinische Elektroenzephalographie" von Stephan Zschocke und Hans-Christian Hansen. Nützlich ist es insbesondere für Kinder- und Jugendärzten und Neurologen, die mit den Grundlagen der Elektroenzephalographie vertraut sind. Einsteigern zum Thema zeigt dieses Buch auf, wo und wann das EEG im Kindesalter einen Beitrag zur Diagnose leisten kann.Table of Contents1 Neonatales EEG (Früh- und Termingeborene).- 2 EEG vom Säugling bis zur Adoleszenz.- 3 EEG bei pädiatrischen Epilepsiesyndromen.- 4 Neuropädiatrische Krankheiten

Book SynopsisGeborgenheit, Autonomie und Erfolg, das wünschen sich junge Menschen. In diesem Rahmen entwickeln sie Lösungsversuche, um sich diese grundlegenden psychologischen Bedürfnisse zu erfüllen.

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.

Book SynopsisThe fight against child mortality that transformed parenting, doctoring and the way we live.Trade Review"A Good Time to be Born is an ambitious, elegant meditation on what the doctor-writer Perri Klass describes as one of our greatest human achievements: a reduction in child mortality... [Klass] takes the most complex human patterns of all—history, medicine, politics, art—and knits them into something unique and beautiful... This is an important book for many reasons, but that Klass has given voice to the voiceless is perhaps the most significant." -- The New York Times Book Review

Book SynopsisA practical, hands-on guide for working with children diagnosed with high functioning autism spectrum disorders.Trade Review"When a therapist gets lots in the details of a family interview, everyone begins to feel overwhelmed, maybe even confused. Having a book that outlines necessary steps is a saving grace. If you are a therapist who needs help with interviewing the family, conducting a sound assessment, developing a treatment plan, interviewing the child, and setting boundaries, objectives, and future goals, this book is for you. Working with children on the spectrum takes a lot of patience and experience, and Kelly and Plunkett D’Avignon can help you prepare." -- PsychCentral"[A]n extremely helpful new book . . . [V]ery useful for parents, caregivers and educators in understanding the actions of children on the autism spectrum." -- Parenting Press Newsletter"Therapists entering the world of autism need a clear and accurate guide to understanding children who, at times, seem to belong to a different culture. The explanations and advice provided by Kelly and D’Avignon are based on their considerable experience, wisdom, and thorough review of the literature. Therapists from a range of disciplines—new to the world of autism, as well as seasoned travelers such as myself—will gain knowledge and insight, both valuable and enjoyable." -- Tony Attwood, PhD, Chairperson, The Minds and Hearts Clinic, Brisbane, Australia; author of The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome"A marvelous book both for beginning therapists and experienced ones, this volume provides a readable, highly useful introduction to intervention in autism. With chapters speaking to students, parents, and siblings, the book provides a thoughtful approach to developing a treatment plan as well as preparing for the future. It will be an invaluable guide for years to come." -- Fred R. Volkmar, MD, Chief of Child Psychiatry at Yale New Haven Hospital; Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders"A practical outline for working with a high functioning autistic person that clearly spells out the differences required in employing a therapeutic process that fits both their general profile and their particular individual needs. Both new and seasoned therapists can learn a lot from this book. The forms fit the theory. Use them!" -- Elsa Abele, CCC, SLP, Pragmatic Language Consultant; Associate, Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders, Antioch University NE"The community of psychotherapists working with clients with autism spectrum disorder is fortunate that this book has been written. In careful step-by-step explanations, readers are led through explanations of terms, causes of the disorder, and recommendations for its remediation. Avoiding the thickets of medical terminology that have plagued earlier works, this book strikes straight to the heart of the matter. Of particular value are the 12 exemplars of agreements, forms, and checklists found in the appendices. If a part of your practice involves treating ASD, this is the book for you." -- John Dacey, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Boston College; author of Human Development Across the Lifespan and Your Anxious Child

Book SynopsisAttune, help and recover: a structured developmental approach to behavioural challenges in children with disabilities.Trade Review"Every parent encounters the stress of behavioral challenges with children. This book offers insight into the meaning of these behaviors, identifying where development has gone awry, and offers effective solutions. In the ways Dr. Cullinane has translated the DIRFloortime Model, parents and professionals will find understanding, hope, and guidance in helping children of every age develop self-regulation and experience the security of relationships that help them feel understood and able to regulate emotions, think ahead, be flexible, and relate to others. This book is valuable, compelling, and easy to read. It provides the in-depth answers parents and therapists have been looking for." -- Dr. Serena Wieder, Profectum Foundation, Co-Developer of the DIR Model "This book is a thoughtful and important contribution to the literature on developmental approaches to treating autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities. Dr. Cullinane stresses the need to understand individual differences when considering behavioral challenges, and to integrate this understanding into the treatment approach. Her emphasis on the child's internal world and experience of self and others is an essential and timely contribution to the field of intervention for behavioral challenges in those with special needs." -- Kathy Koenig, MSN, Yale Child Study Center "Behavioral Challenges in Children with Autism and Other Special Needs accurately and respectfully elucidates Stanley Greenspan's developmental model and Floortime intervention, and also expands upon them with Dr. Cullinane's own astute and carefully laid-out techniques and observations. While emphasizing the importance of Greenspan's insights on the emotional basis for learning, this book underlines and develops those insights in important new ways, supporting the reader through clear explanations and short, well-targeted examples. It is a valuable, highly recommended addition to the DIR Model." -- Nancy Greenspan, The Greenspan Floortime Approach

Book SynopsisEdited by members of the American Society for Adolescent Psychiatry, this is a practical guide to the management of an adolescent drug use and addiction. It provides the knowledge and tools for successful prevention and intervention efforts in adolescents.Trade Review“In conclusion, this book provides a useful overview of the broad range of issues relevant to working with adolescent addiction. It will be particularly helpful for psychiatrists and other medical professionals who have little experience working with this population by way of alerting them to treatment related issues for consideration.” (Early Intervention in Psychiatry, 15 April 2014) “This is an important resource for those in the field of adolescent mental health. It is not overly weighted with medical terminology, and the authors have done an excellent job of providing information with the depth that clinicians will find useful without being so clinical that the other intended readers would be lost. They have done a thorough job of providing more than just cursory information on the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of adolescents with substance abuse problems. Although the issue of substance abuse is multifaceted, with many physiological and environmental factors at play, the book does a commendable job of organizing and outlining the evaluation and treatment modalities of substance abuse in the adolescent population.” (Doody’s, 11 October 2013) “Nevertheless, this is the best compendium of evidence in the round in this field and an excellent reference book.” (Addiction, 1 September 2013) "The wealth of information is brought together by a consummate clinician who cares profoundly for the young people who have come to him – whether for court reports or treatment – and who is determined to make a difference. The clinical eye that chose the authors and edited the whole has provided just what politicians as well as clinical and criminal justice practitioners are so often calling for – an evidence base for appropriate action. It should be widely read by those practitioners but also influence policy and improve life prospects for many, many young people." (From the Foreword by Pamela J.

Book SynopsisThis book fulfils an urgent need for an updated text on pediatric psychopharmacology. It takes a unique approach in discussing recent findings within the context of current issues, including economic and political ones. The book covers the emerging question of treating children who do not yet meet diagnostic criteria for psychosis, e.g, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, but who are deemed to be at high risk. This is an active area of debate: such children are being treated in certain centers, while others reject this completely. The book addresses the antidepressant controversy, the placebo response and unique strategies for delineating this, and ways to optimize the differential between active medication and placebo. It reviews the impact of recent American Heart Association guidelines for monitoring children on stimulants and other psychotropics. It adheres closely to DSM-IV diagnostic criteria throughout. The book describes the use of newly approved drugs such as Lexapro for treatiTrade Review “Pharmacotherapy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Disorders is a book to have available on your desk, not just in your library. It provides ready access to the wealth of practical information and insight for the range of health and mental health professionals. It is highly recommended for trainees and anyone who is prescribing psychotropic medications to the pediatric population and young adults.” (Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 7 July 2012) Table of ContentsList of Contributors, xv Foreword, xix Chapter 1 Historical Perspectives on Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, 1 Samuel Gershon References, 4 Chapter 2 Pharmacoepidemiology of Psychotropic Medications in Youth, 7 Daniel J.
