Review “This author participated in a study to determine if this modality could also be effective for the treatment of PTSD, and this work is an extension of that research. Readers would benefit from some exposure to IPT before attempting to use this method with patients, but the description of IPT in theinitial chapters is well done and useful. Overall, case examples illustrate important points and help readers stay focused on the practice of IPT. As a result, this book is a worthwhile addition to a clinician’s library.” — Doodys Health Science “Given how frequently practitioners treat patients with PTSD and considering IPT’s practical and humane approach, the respectable clinical response rates demonstrated here, and its high patient acceptance, I’d advise a wide range of clinicians to acquaint themselves with IPT’s application for theseconditions. Showing the hand of a thoughtful, experienced, wise clinician and scholar, this well-written volume is an excellent place to start.” — American Journal of Psychiatry”This exceptionally important volume details John Markowitz’s ground-breaking approach to the treatment of trauma. Refusing to accept the conventional wisdom that only exposure therapies can address trauma symptoms, Markowitz clearly describes his empirically supported approach based oninterpersonal psychotherapy that emphasizes the importance of relationships and social roles in the recovery from trauma experiences. Beautifully and lucidly written, this is a book that everyone who works with trauma survivors should read, regardless of theoretical orientation.” –Ellen Frank, PhD, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of Pittsburgh –This text refers to the paperback edition.

The use of injectables, known as dermal fillers, is becoming ever more popular in aesthetic medicine. Full-face and full-body treatments using such fillers are increasingly substituting for various surgical techniques; not only do they provide immediate results at a lower cost, but they also avoid the use of general anesthesia and shorten the recovery period. In addition, dermal fillers can be successfully used for body remodeling, for example in patients with bow legs and those requiring breast remodeling.This book outlines the fundamental principles of the use of different fillers and injection techniques in the treatment of facial and body areas. An impressive collection of sequential color photographs illustrate the procedures step by step and demonstrate the results. The volume will be an invaluable tool for aesthetic doctors, practicing dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and all other physicians interested in the field of aesthetic medicine.

Laparoscopic and robotic approaches to colon, rectum and the small intestine have undergone radical change since the introduction of minimally invasive surgical techniques. At the beginning of this revolution, the most common anastomotic techniques have been extracorporeal. As a few surgeons became more familiar with minimally invasive suturing techniques, intracorporeal anastomosis became possible. However, the change from an extracorporeal approach has been slow to realization for the vast majority of surgeons. While there are multiple reasons for this slow adoption, the most common are perceived difficulty with suturing in a closed space, the feeling of lack of control, and the worry of increased infection in the abdomen. This book details the latest information in addressing and dispelling these fears. It provides a useful guide to techniques required to perform intracorporeal anastomoses both in laparoscopic and robotic surgery, and it shows the huge advantages to the patient, surgeon and to our health care system. Written by experts in the field, chapters serve as a definitive guide to the performance of intracorporeal techniques to all general and colon and rectal surgeons performing bowel resection both for benign and malignant disease. The chapters contain ample color photographs and videos describing each technique.Intracorporeal Anastomosis primarily focuses on laparoscopic and robotic techniques and contains the latest published data describing the advantages of using these minimally invasive surgical techniques. –This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Patients with advanced cancer may develop a number of clinical complications related to tumor progression or a variety of aggressive treatments. The majority of these patients are elderly, often with multiple co-morbidities that require appropriate assessment and management. In the palliative stage of their disease, patients undergo a progressive transition from active acute care to community-based hospice care. This transition requires modification in the diagnostic tests, monitoring procedures and pharmacological treatments to adjust them to the palliative and short-term nature of the care. Internal Medicine Issues in Palliative Cancer Care looks at internal medicine through a prognosis-based framework and provides a practical approach to maximizing comfort and quality of life while minimizing aggressive investigations and therapies for patients with life-limiting disease. Forty-six common internal medicine conditions are organized into nine clinical categories: pulmonary, cardiovascular, nephrologic and metabolic, gastrointestinal, hematologic, infectious, endocrine, rheumatologic, and neuro-psychiatric. This evidence-based resource is ideal for educating clinicians delivering palliative care to cancer patients in acute care facilities about complex internal medicine problems, decision-making regarding diagnostics and therapeutics which require a good understanding of state-of-the-art internal medicine and palliative care principles.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a prevalent, debilitating public health problem. Cognitive behavioral therapies (CBTs), and specifically exposure-based therapy, have long dominated PTSD treatment. Empirically supported treatments-Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and virtual reality therapy-all have relied upon the “fear extinction model” of exposing patients to reminders of their trauma until they grow accustomed to and extinguish the fear. While exposure-based treatments work, they (like all treatments) have their limits. Many patients refuse to undergo them or drop out of treatment prematurely; others may actually worsen in such treatment; and still others simply do not benefit from them.
The sudden death of an athlete is a highly tragic and emotional event. Recent data suggest that death rates are greater than previously reported and a screening strategy with the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) may help identify those athletes at risk. One of the main concerns about cardiac testing in athletes is the high number of false positive rates because athletic conditioning is associated with a number of electrical and structural modifications which occasionally overlap with disorders commonly implicated in sudden cardiac death.For the practicing sports medicine physician at the front line of sports cardiology, this comprehensive and authoritative resource provides a centralized source of information which addresses this important topic in an accessible manner. This book recognises the broad role sports physicians play, from liaison between athlete, family, specialist, and coaching staff based on the identification of pathological heart disease, to being first to respond when an athlete collapses. The chapters include basic science of disease and disorders, pathophysiology, diagnosis, the effect or role of exercise, and clinical management guidance.The seven sections of this book include information on: the basic science of cardiac function, the prevention of sudden death, specific cardiac disorders predisposing individuals to sudden cardiac death, management and screening of athletes, and the provision of emergency care. This book:• Provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview on all aspects of sports cardiology• Addresses cardiac abnormalities confronting Olympic athletes, Paralympic athletes, as well as athletes competing on all other levels of competition• Endorsed by the Medical Commission of the International Olympic Committee (IOC)• Written and edited by global thought leaders in sports medicine An essential resource for sports medicine physicians, cardiologists, sports cardiologists, primary care physicians, ER physicians, physical therapists, athletic trainers, nurse practitioners, and physician’s assistants.
