In the United States about 50 million people sufer from recurrent or chronic pain, and nearly 10% of adults take medication for pain daily. Further, the disease burden of pain is expected to grow, relative to other illnesses and conditions. Despite the advances in pain medicine, most physicians are not - equately trained to treat chronic or even acute pain. As in other felds of medicine, pain medicine has long been dominated by expert op- ion relying on personal expertise, and only recently has a systematic evaluation of treatments in the terms of “evidence-based medicine” been performed. And also as in other felds of medicine, a lot can be achieved in pain medicine when certain basic di...
Sleep and anesthesia resemble in many ways at a first glance. The most prominent common feature of course is the loss of consciousness, i.e. the loss of awareness of external stimuli. However a closer look at the loss of consciousness reveals already a difference between sleep and anesthesia: anesthesia is induced by an anesthetic drug whereas we may fall asleep without external cause. Other questions may arise about the difference of the two effects: do we dream during surgery under anesthesia, do we feel pain during sleep? Essentially, we may ask: what is common and what are the differences between sleep and anesthesia? To answer these questions, we may take a look at the neural origin of ...
This book presents to all those who are interested in the history of Anaesthesiology historical details and information on the development of anaesthesiology in Germany and the remarkable growth of our Society. At the founding session of the German Society of Anaesthesia in Munich on 10 April 1953 42 persons had signed the founding documents. Today about 12,000 anaesthetists are members of the German Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, making the DGAI the biggest national society within ESA. Well known are the pioneering contributions of German scientists and surgeons to the development of general, regional and local anaesthesia during the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. But less known outside Germany are the reasons for the delayed evolution of anaesthesiology as a specialty of its own in German medicine, far later than in the UK, Scandinavia or the USA. In this book you will find answers to this question and detailed information on the successful evolution of anaesthesiology especially at the Faculties of Medicine at German universities.
This book is constituted of the presentations (symposium, workshop and posters) given at the Seventh International Conference on Molecular and Basic Mechanisms of Anesthesia, held in Nara, Japan during February 2005. During this international event leading researchers presented the latest findings on the mechanisms underlying states of anesthesia. Topics covered included the latest developments in the physico-chemical actions of anesthetics on the membrane, to the molecular identifications such as their receptor-mediated actions. Furthermore, new research was presented on developments in the molecular identification of general anesthetic targets at the receptor level and the functional roles of their molecular targets, revealed by their integration of the in vivo system using genetic engineering techniques. An essential text for all researchers wanting a concise and authoritative overview of current research in the field of mechanisms of anesthesia, this book is a timely update for everyone involved in anesthetic drug development.
Größtmögliche Schonung des Patienten bei operativen Eingriffen, eine effiziente Schmerztherapie und Beschleunigung der postoperativen Rekonvaleszenz - dies alles verbirgt sich hinter dem Begriff "Fast-Track-Rehabilitation". Mit diesem Buch ist erstmals ein umfassendes Werk zu diesem Thema auf dem Markt, das sich interdisziplinär an operativ tätige Ärzte, Anästhesisten und Pflegefachkräfte wendet. Die Autoren beschreiben zunächst die einzelnen Stadien und Vorgehensweisen bei der "Beschleunigten Frührehabilitation", um im speziellen Abschnitt die Behandlungskonzepte anhand der wichtigsten Operationsverfahren in der Viszeral,- Thorax- und Gefäßchirurgie sowie Gynäkologie und Urologie konkret darzustellen. Zeitpläne, präoperative Diagnostik und Therapie, intraoperatives und postoperatives Vorgehen werden detailliert aufgeführt. Der praktische Weg zum modernen und zeitgemäßen Patientenmanagement - vor, während und nach der Operation!
"With its ... over thousand] detailed and expansive footnotes drawing on twenty-four different archive collections in eight countries and three continents and an enormous secondary literature, this is one of the best researched regional studies of the Holocaust ever to appear. It is helped by the fact that the authors are also always so cognizant of what was happening elsewhere in Europe at the same time and thus frequently draw out the relationship between seemingly haphazard local decisions and trends across Europe...Indeed, the way in which the book 'makes sense' of complex institutional behavior is at times breathtaking...The precision in the detail and the scope of the contextualization...
