【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Treatment-Resistant Depression【電子書籍】

＜p＞＜strong＞Treatment-resistant Depress＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Successful management of patients with treatment-resistant depression requires a thorough understanding of the biological basis for both the depression and its failure to respond to standard treatments. This book clearly and succinctly summarizes the latest scientific research and its applications in clinical practice.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A first step is a clear definition of what constitutes treatment-resistant depression so that clinical trials and other studies are using common criteria, enabling comparison and meta-analysis of their outcomes. The opening chapter reviews definitions and predictors of treatment-resistant depression originating from different fields and discusses their usefulness in clinical practice and clinical research. The next chapter proposes a new definition, adapting terminology from medicine.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Biological classification requires identification of genetic risk factors and gene variants have been identified as accounting for 50% of the variance in the clinical outcomes of antidepressant treatments. Chapter 3 describes several genes already associated with treatment-resistant depression and, while further work is needed to translate findings into clinical recommendations, suggests that genetic prediction of treatment resistance could become a widespread clinical reality within a few years.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Most patients with treatment-resistant depression will be treated pharmacologically, so three chapters review the latest evidence for pharmacological best practice in switching strategies for antidepressants, the role of antipsychotics and augmentation strategies to complement lithium.＜/p＞ ＜p＞There are two major alternatives to pharmacotherapy: neuromodulation and psychotherapy. The brain intervention chapter summarizes clinical research and experience with electroconvulsive therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation and magnetic seizure therapy. The final chapter reviews the literature pertaining to the effectiveness of various forms of psychotherapy in patients who have not responded to antidepressant pharmacotherapy, explaining that patients who have not responded to one or two trials of antidepressant medication have a 30%-50% chance of responding to a focused psychotherapy. It proposes indications for psychotherapy in treatment-resistant depression and summarizes general therapeutic principles.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Essential reading for all psychiatrists managing patients with this distressing disorder.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Geriatric Oncology Treatment, Assessment and Management【電子書籍】

＜p＞Cancer and aging are integrally related. Cancer incidence and mortality increase with age, with most cancer diagnoses and deaths occurring in patients aged 65 and older. The aging of the Baby Boomer population, along with an overall increase in life expectancy, points to a doubling of the U.S. population over age 65 by the year 2030. This demographic shift, combined with the known association of cancer and aging, is expected to bring about a rapid growth in the older cancer-patient population. It is clear that geriatric principles must become part of oncology care. The evaluation and development of treatment recommen- tions for an older adult with cancer can be challenging for many reasons. Tumor biology and response to therapy are affected by age. In addition, age-related factors may impact treatment patterns, tolerance, and efficacy. These age-related factors include functional status declines, comorbid conditions, changes in cognitive function, weakening of organ function, decreases in physiologic reserve, and faltering social support.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Selecting Megavoltage Treatment Technologies in External Beam Radiotherapy【電子書籍】[ IAEA ]

＜p＞Radiotherapy can be delivered with different types of machine, such as external beam high energy radiation machines, kilovoltage machines and brachytherapy equipment. Variation in the incidence of different cancer types, the complexity and cost of treatment technologies, and differences in local social, economic and physical circumstances are all factors that influence technology acquisition, purchase and implementation. This publication addresses one of the many factors, associated with the planning of a new radiotherapy facility or the upgrade of an existing one ? the selection of a high energy (megavoltage) radiotherapy machine. The two main high energy machine types are medical linear accelerators (linacs) and cobalt-60 machines. Although both treatment modalities have been compared extensively in the relevant literature, very few publications describe all the issues to consider when choosing a megavoltage machine. This publication puts all appropriate questions into context and provides information for non-technical administrators and decision makers, and for professionals directly involved in treating patients.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】CANCER TREATMENT ENSIGNS The Secret to Healing Virtually All Cancer Types【電子書籍】[ Jeffery Morgan ]

＜p＞Cancer may appear almost anywhere in the trillions of cells that make up the human body. When the body needs new cells, human cells often divide (via a process known as cell proliferation and multiplication). When old cells die as a consequence of age or injury, new ones take their place.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This systematic procedure may sometimes go wrong, resulting in the inadvertent multiplication of damaged or aberrant cells. Tumor-like tissue masses may develop from these cells. There may or may not be malignant tumors.＜/p＞ ＜p＞According to estimates, there are 18.1 million new instances of cancer worldwide. In the US, where more than 1.7 million individuals get a cancer diagnosis each year, cancer is still the second-leading cause of death. Many times, cancer is treated as if it were one thing. Even though unchecked development is the common denominator, cancer may arise for several reasons and in a variety of ways. Some of them are inherited, while others are acquired during our lives. Depending on the kind of cell it originates in, it may be divided into hundreds of distinct disorders. And no two instances are the same when the genetic makeup of each patient is taken into consideration.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Therefore, it will be vital to handle this intricacy to save more lives from cancer. We may better understand how cancer grows and how it interacts with the immune system by doing fundamental studies in cancer biology and immunology. This might make it possible for us to find fresh, more potent cancer treatments.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This second series of the books discuss about another 15 types of cancer (apart from those the ones discussed in the first series, which are:＜/p＞ ＜p＞Multiple Myeloma, Oral, Ovarian, Pancreatic, Penile, Prostate, Rectal, Skin, Small intestine, Spleen, Stomach Cancer (Gastric Adenocarcinoma), Testicular, Thyroid, Vaginal and Vulvar Cancer.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And all what you need about these types is discussed, which may contain there:＜/p＞ ＜p＞Types (if any), symptoms, causes, stages and grades (if found), detection (if there is), outlook, treatments, prognosis, takeaway and other keywords that can't be mentioned.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Quickly hit the buy button and protect your self for future life.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a chronic disease leading to severe visual deterioration and impairment of daily life. Two types of AMD are distinguished: Wet or neovascular AMD and dry AMD. Dry AMD is characterized by drusen (small yellowish retinal deposits) and atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE); causal treatment is currently not available. Wet AMD is marked by abnormal growth of blood vessels within the macular area (spot of sharpest sight) leading to fluid accumulation (edema) and retinal bleeding as well as scar formation. If the disease is not treated severe irreversible visual impairment will result. Treatment with new agents that are administered intravitreally and act against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are now available, impeding disease progression in many cases. The present book gives a comprehensive overview about all aspects of AMD, useful for affected patients and interested readers and covers causes, epidemiological facts, diagnostics (emphasizing the topic optical coherence tomography-OCT) and treatment strategies of the disease, based on extensive literature research.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞This book describes The Eye and Its Disorders, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is a collection of books that I have written over the years about eye disorders.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Most of them have been updated.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“The eyes are the window of the soul”.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The eyes are also the organs of vision in the human body.＜/p＞ ＜p＞There is a pair of eyes in every person.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The eyeball is a bilateral and sphere-shaped organ which holds the structures accountable for sight.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The eye is made up of 3 layers:＜/p＞ ＜p＞The outer fibrous layer comprising the cornea and sclera which are continuous with each other..＜br /＞ Their main functions are to supply the appearance to the eye and support the deeper structures.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The sclera comprises the majority of the fibrous layer (about 85%).＜br /＞ It supplies attachment to the extra-ocular muscles responsible for the movement of the eye.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It is seen as the white part of the eye.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The cornea is transparent and placed centrally at the front of the eye.＜br /＞ Light that enters the eye is refracted by the cornea and lens.＜br /＞ The cornea does about 75% of the work and the lens about 25% but the cornea has fixed focus power and the lens variable focus power.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The middle vascular layer of the eye is below the fibrous layer comprising:＜/p＞ ＜ol＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Choroid ? (layer of connective tissue and blood vessels).＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Ciliary body comprised of two parts (ciliary muscle and ciliary processes).＜br /＞ The ciliary body regulates the shape of the lens, and adds to the formation of aqueous humor＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜li＞ ＜p＞Iris is a circular structure of tissue, with an aperture in the center (the pupil).＜br /＞ The diameter of the pupil is changed by smooth muscle fibers within the iris, innervated by the autonomic nervous system.＜/p＞ ＜/li＞ ＜/ol＞ ＜p＞The inner layer of the eye is produced by the retina＜/p＞ ＜p＞The retina comprises 2 layers:＜/p＞ ＜ol＞ ＜li＞Pigmented (outer) layer＜/li＞ ＜li＞Neural (inner) layer comprises photoreceptors.＜/li＞ ＜/ol＞ ＜p＞The retina contains the receptive light rods and cones which function as photoreceptors that transmit received images to the brain through the optic nerve.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The center of the retina is marked by an area termed the macula, an important part of color vision＜/p＞ ＜p＞The aqueous humor is a clear fluid that is maintained:＜br /＞ a. the anterior chamber between the cornea and the iris＜br /＞ b. the posterior chamber between the iris and the lens.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If the drainage of aqueous humor is blocked, a disorder known as glaucoma can result.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The vitreous body comprises a transparent gel which fills the posterior segment of the eyeball＜/p＞ ＜p＞Occasionally, as the gel liquefies and the meshwork collapses, the posterior vitreous membrane can slide or suddenly pull off from its attachment with the retina or optic nerve, resulting in visual floaters or flashes＜/p＞ ＜p＞The flexible lens is kept in place to the ciliary body by the suspensory ligament made up of fine transparent fibers.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The shape of the lens is changed by the ciliary body, altering its refractive power.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In old age, the lens can turn opaque forming a cataract.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If there is no symptoms and low risk for eye disease, the person should have a complete eye examination every 1 to 2 years.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The risk of developing cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration increases slightly with each passing year.＜/p＞ ＜p＞TABLE OF CONTENT＜br /＞ Introduction＜br /＞ Chapter 1 The Eye＜br /＞ Chapter 2 Eyesight＜br /＞ a.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Injection-Induced Breast Siliconomas Clinical Implications, Evaluation and Treatment【電子書籍】

＜p＞Although there is a current ban in many countries on the injection of liquid silicone, paraffin or polyacrylamide hydrogels or other gel or liquid materials into the breasts for the purpose of increasing size, there are still a large number of non-professionals who use these injections and offer them as a cheap alternative to plastic surgery. The results, at first, may seem cosmetically favorable for the patient, but these injections often lead to painful complications like mastitis (inflammation of the mammary gland) and can make it incredibly difficult to diagnose breast cancer early. Many patients suffer delayed complications that force them to seek expert care for corrective and reconstructive surgery. This book, the culmination of decades of research, aims to serve the surgeon faced with these complications, offering a detailed step-by-step guide of the pathology from clinical diagnosis and imaging studies to the different surgical and reconstructive procedures for reconstruction. As there is no clinical management consensus or international guideline, Injection-Induced Breast Siliconomas: Clinical Implications, Evaluation and Treatment fills the gap in the literature and encourages more research.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Previously published in Spanish in 2017 under the title "Siliconomas Mamarios por Inyeccion: Clinica, Diagnostico y Tratamiento", this English translation is a true re-edition of the original version with added updates for the English-speaking audience.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】GERD A New Understanding of Pathology, Pathophysiology, and Treatment【電子書籍】[ Parakrama T. Chandrasoma ]

＜p＞GERD: A New Understanding of Pathology, Pathophysiology, and Treatment transforms the assessment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) from its present state, which is largely dependent on clinical definition and management, to a more objective scientific basis that depends on pathologic assessment. Sequential chapters in this single-author book describe the fetal development of the esophagus, the normal adult state, and the way exposure to gastric juice causes epithelial and lower esophageal sphincter damage at a cellular level. It allows recognition of the pathologic manifestations of lower esophageal sphincter damage and develops new histopathologic criteria for quantitating such damage. This understanding provides new pathologic criteria for definition and diagnosis of GERD from its earliest cellular stage. Algorithms based on measurement of sphincter damage can identify, even before the onset of clinical GERD, persons who will never develop GERD during life, those who develop GERD but remain with mild and easily controlled disease, and those who will progress to severe GERD with failure to control symptoms, Barrett esophagus and adenocarcinoma. Aggressive early intervention in the last group with the objective of preventing disease progression to its end points of uncontrolled symptoms and adenocarcinoma becomes feasible. - Provides a new method of assessment of GERD that has never previously been presented, creating a pathway to control - Describes a new pathologic test based on standard histology that can define lower esophageal sphincter damage - Sequential chapters outline the way GERD progresses from the perspective of the amount of damage to the lower esophageal sphincter - Provides new avenues of clinical research and technologic innovations in pathology and treatment aimed at preventing esophageal adenocarcinoma＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
