Reviews

The book has been substantially revised and updated, making it even more a patient-oriented publication with challenging contributions on advanced treatment modalities, including gene therapy, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.The book clearly demonstrates the current position of transfusion medicine, bridging the bedside withthe community.Those experienced and interested in the field of transfusion medicine as well as those who want to explore the field are urged to use this comprehensive, patient-oriented book on the principles of transfusion medicine for the continued development and improvement of their practices, including the teaching and mentoring of students and learners. This jubilee edition brings the reader right in the middle of this exiting, but still young and rapidly expanding, field of health sciences – transfusion medicine. (International Journal of Clinical Transfusion Medicine review- November 2016)”The book’s greatest strength is its section on apheresis, transplantation and new therapeutic methods, which introduces the reader to a number of areas at the frontier of medicine…It is still slanted towards the USA, but also has much to offer practitioners in transfusion medicine and clinicians with an interest in transfusion medicine in other countries.” (The Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association 24/02/2017) From the Inside Flap Transfusion medicine as a multidisciplinary clinical specialty allied to blood banking continues to be a dynamic and increasingly complex evolution. Patients who require blood transfusions generally fall into two categories: those requiring transfusions resulting from acute blood loss that might be associated with surgery or accident; or those requiring chronic transfusions associated with treatment for chronic anaemias, chemotherapy, or bone marrow transplant. As such transfusion medicine impacts all areas of critical care medicine, and multiple areas of chronic care. Rossi’s Principles of Transfusion Medicine is the most comprehensive and practical reference on transfusion science and medicine available. Now updated for a fifth edition with new material on donor care – including the frequency of donation and management of iron deficiency/status, patient blood management, hemovigilance, and the novel cellular therapies and stem cell transplantation. This is a key resource for specialists and trainees in transfusion medicine and blood banking, as well as physicians, nurses, and medical technologists active in the transfusion of patients. This edition; Compiled by a world class Editor team including two past-presidents of AABB, a past- President of the American Board of Pathology and members of the FDA Blood Products Advisory Committee, and international contributor team Covers current hot topics such as donor care – including the frequency of donation and management of iron deficiency/status), patient blood management, hemovigilance, and the organization of transfusion and transplant services Presents new material on molecular immunohematology Companion website includes figures, full text and references Update your practice with this comprehensive reference resource, considered the gold standard in transfusion medicine.

Description

This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. It constitutes a unique source of knowledge and guidance for all healthcare workers who care for patients with sepsis and septic shock in resource-limited settings.More than eighty percent of the worldwide deaths related to sepsis occur in resource-limited settings in low and middle-income countries. Current international sepsis guidelines cannot be implemented without adaptations towards these settings, mainly because of the difference in local resources and a different spectrum of infectious diseases causing sepsis. This prompted members of the Global Intensive Care working group of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) and the Mahidol-Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU, Bangkok, Thailand) – among which the Editors – to develop with an international group of experts a comprehensive set of recommendations for the management of sepsis in resource-limited settings. Recommendations are based on both current scientific evidence and clinical experience of clinicians working in resource-limited settings. The book includes an overview chapter outlining the current challenges and future directions of sepsis management as well as general recommendations on the structure and organization of intensive care services in resource-limited settings. Specific recommendations on the recognition and management of patients with sepsis and septic shock in these settings are grouped into seven chapters. The book provides evidence-based practical guidance for doctors in low and middle income countries treating patients with sepsis, and highlights areas for further research and discussion.

Review “This is one of the best books for walking beginning therapists and supervisors through the origination of family therapy and the many applications of it. Cases skillfully placed throughout the text help readers understand how each modern and postmodern approach facilitates change. Additionally, readers learn how to apply cultural humility and respect for social locations throughout the therapeutic process.” Jennifer Hodgson, PhD, LMFT, Professor and Program Director, Medical Family Therapy Doctoral Program, Department of Human Development & Family Science, East Carolina University “Hanna again provides a succinct, well-integrated, and contemporary overview of family therapy practice. This text draws thoughtfully on systemic origins and maps them to emerging ideas, research-informed strategies, and practical issues very frequently encountered in clinical practice. The book is brimming with realistic scenarios and thought-provoking questions; it is a vivid and very useful first look into the world of couples and family therapy.” Jeff Todahl, PhD, Co-Director & Director of Research, Center for the Prevention of Abuse & Neglect, University of Oregon

This comprehensive atlas is unique in combining information on the embryological development of the human with detailed presentation of the congenital malformations encountered in clinical practice. As a consequence it will not only assist practitioners and trainees in recognizing and evaluating malformations, but also enable them to understand how a malformation has developed and to explain the mystery of congenital malformations to relatives and patients. The book is organized according to anatomic region, with additional chapters on hernias, tumors, lymphogenesis and lymphatic malformations. According to WHO statistics, each year congenital anomalies result in approximately 3.2 million birth defect-related disabilities worldwide. All too often, however, training in embryology is now a neglected area, and medical graduates frequently lack confidence in their knowledge of the field. Clinical Embryology: An Atlas of Congenital Malformations will help to rectify this deficit and to ensure that malformations are comprehended and managed appropriately. It will be of value for postgraduate trainees in pediatric surgery, pediatrics, and neonatology, undergraduate medical students, and general practitioners/family physicians.
