Interventional Cardiology in the Elderly
This book provides an in depth review of the current practice in treating elderly patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) as well as an update of the existing literature. It is intended to reflect the current science of elderly patients with stable angina, acute coronary syndromes and those patients who are forwarded for CAGB procedures. Evidence in the elderly patient group is often limited and/or non-existent therefore the main challenge, even for further research, will be to define the role of geriatric preconditions and its impact on outcome. A second topic will be to clarify how, if ever, existing cardiological outcome values like mortality can be applied to elderly patients or if other values like improvement of functional status or quality of life are more suitable parameters to measure interventional success in elderly patients. The role of pharmacotherapy in advanced age has to be discussed. These topics will be embedded in epidemiological, pathophysiological and ethical aspects of interventional treatment of CAD in older age.
Best Practices for Transradial Approach in Diagnostic Angiography and Intervention
Best Practices for Transradial Approach in Diagnostic Angiography and Intervention provides an innovative, patient-friendly approach to percutaneous coronary intervention, delivering authoritative guidance on the procedures, as well as solid evidence from clinical studies and experienced facilities. Learn from pioneers and experts in the field how you can improve patient care and optimize outcomes using this efficient and cost-effective technique. Increase your knowledge of the tremendous recent advancements to the transradial approach, and learn the clinical advantages and benefits of this approach compared with the standard femoral approach. Benefit from the combined knowledge of a team of worldwide experts who provide practical “tips and tricks” that help you make the most of this globally acknowledged technique in your practice. Gain insight into all relevant aspects of transradial coronary access, from basic facts and procedural details to complications and non-coronary interventions. Examine an up-to-date, in-depth review and critical analysis of data available in the literature.
Pflegewissen Diabetes
In ambulanten und stationären Pflegeieinrichtungen ist mehr als jeder 4. Bewohner Diabetiker. Viele von ihnen sind insulinbehandelt. Die Tendenz ist steigend. Das Pflegepersonal übernimmt hier einen wichtigen Part in der Betreuung und Therapiebegleitung geriatrischer Patienten mit Diabetes. Die Schulung der Pflegekräfte während der Ausbildung ist unzureichend und viele Aspekte der modernen Diabetologie sind den Pflegenden nicht bekannt. Dieses Handbuch für die Praxis und die Fortbildung enthält alle wichtigen Zusatzinformationen, die Pflegende benötigen: Symptome und Krankheitsbild Diabetes mellitus Typ 2 bei geriatrischen Patienten, Begleit- und Folgeerkrankungen wie z.B. Diabetes bei Demenz, Therapiemöglichkeiten, Pflegemaßnahmen, Patientenempowerment, Qualitätsmanagement und Schulung der Mitarbeiter. Ein Handbuch für die Pflegepraxis, Fortbildung und alle Mitarbeiter, die ältere Menschen mit Diabetes mellitus betreuen und unterstützen.
3-D Imaging of Coronary Vessels Using C-arm CT
Cardiovascular disease has become the number one cause of death worldwide. For the diagnosis and therapy of coronary artery disease, interventional C-arm-based fluoroscopy is an imaging method of choice. While these C-arm systems are also capable of rotating around the patient and thus allow a CT-like 3-D image reconstruction, their long rotation time of about five seconds leads to strong motion artefacts in 3-D coronary artery imaging. In this work, a novel method is introduced that is based on a 2-D-2-D image registration algorithm. It is embedded in an iterative algorithm for motion estimation and compensation and does not require any complex segmentation or user interaction. It is thus fully automatic, which is a very desirable feature for interventional applications. The method is evaluated on simulated and human clinical data. Overall, it could be shown that the method can be successfully applied to a large set of clinical data without user interaction or parameter changes, and with a high robustness against initial 3-D image quality, while delivering results that are at least up to the current state of the art, and better in many cases.

HCI International 2022 Posters
The four-volume set CCIS 1580, CCIS 1581, CCIS 1582, and CCIS 1583 contains the extended abstracts of the posters presented during the 24th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2022, which was held virtually in June - July 2022. The total of 1276 papers and 275 posters included in the 40 HCII 2021 proceedings volumes was carefully reviewed and selected from 5583 submissions. The posters presented in these four volumes are organized in topical sections as follows: Part I: user experience design and evaluation; visual design and visualization; data, information and knowledge; interacting with AI; universal access, accessibility and design for aging. Part II: multimodal and natural interaction; perception, cognition, emotion and psychophysiological monitoring; human motion modelling and monitoring; IoT and intelligent living environments. Part III: learning technologies; HCI, cultural heritage and art; eGovernment and eBusiness; digital commerce and the customer experience; social media and the metaverse. Part IV: virtual and augmented reality; autonomous vehicles and urban mobility; product and robot design; HCI and wellbeing; HCI and cybersecurity.
