Histiocytic Disorders of Children and Adults
As a comprehensive reference on all aspects of the histiocytic disorders, Histiocytic Disorders of Children and Adults stands out a seminal text on the genetics, pathophysiology and clinical management of this wide range of diseases. The chapters, written by acknowledged experts in the field, cover all aspects of hystiocytic disorders, from Langerhans cell histiocytosis and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, to the uncommon cutaneous and extracutaneous histiocytic disorders. Views on the function of normal histiocytes in the immune system, the pathogenesis, underlying genetic defects, clinical presentation, treatment, controversies in therapy, salvage therapies and the late consequences are discussed in detail. Originally published in 2005, this book will be a valuable resource to clinicians and researchers who wish to learn more about histiocytic disorders.
Treatment of Acute Leukemias
In Treatment of Acute Leukemias, international experts not only review the state-of-the-art in managing children and adults with acute leukemia, but also debate the pros and cons of current controversial and problematic issues. The book summarizes the best diagnostic and treatment practices for acute leukemias in children, adolescents, and adults. Among the therapies discussed are methotrexate, asparaginase, antipurines, epipodophyllotoxins, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, hematopoietic growth factors, and immunotherapy.
The Lymphoid Neoplasms 3ed
This comprehensive and authoritative reference covers all aspects of the group of disorders collectively known as the lymphoid neoplasms. The reader is taken through a description of its normal cellular origins and the molecular genetic abnormalities that can lead to this group of conditions, a section of the book that has been considerably strengt
Myelodysplastic Syndromes
The myelodysplastic syndromes pose important clinical and scientific challenges which in recent years have attracted growing interest within haemato-oncology and molecular genetics. Their potential as a model for the study of human leukaemogenesis makes this one of the most exciting fields in contemporary haematology.
Transplant Infections
Transplant Infections is a practical, clinically focused reference covering the common and more unusual bacterial, viral, and fungal infections affecting patients who have received stem cell or solid organ transplants. It provides a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of opportunistic infections and presents strategies for infection prevention and control. Highlights of the Third Edition include a chapter on new immunosuppressive agents and expanded coverage of tropical infections and West Nile virus.
Liver Disease in Children
Liver disease in children is increasing in prevalence, placing a huge burden on healthcare systems and often requiring long-term management. Offering an integrative approach to the science and clinical practice of pediatric hepatology, this is the definitive reference text for improved diagnosis and treatment strategies. In the new edition of this authoritative text, chapters have been thoroughly revised in line with major advances in the field, such as recognizing the increased frequency of fatty liver disease, and how genetic testing has the potential to establish earlier diagnoses for a variety of diseases. Disorders covered include cholestasis, metabolic disorders and hepatitis, with their presentation across the spectrum of infancy, childhood and adolescence discussed. The indications and surgical aspects of liver transplant are explained and post-transplant care is described in detail. This is a valuable resource for pediatricians, hepatologists, gastroenterologists and all clinicians involved in the care of children with liver diseases.
Leben ohne Ende
Eben waren noch Fußballspielen und das erste Mal Schmetterlinge im Bauch die großen Themen seines Lebens, doch dann war sein Kopfkissen eines Morgens voll Blut. Nino Rauch, damals 14 Jahre alt, war von der Diagnose hoffnungslos überfordert, zu dunkel legte sie sich über sein Schicksal: Lymphdrüsenkrebs mit einer Überlebenswahrscheinlichkeit von weniger als 50 Prozent. Während Kinder, die überlebt haben, ihre Erinnerungen später oft in "Survivor-Klubs" verarbeiten und unter sich bleiben, wagt sich Nino Rauch vor, um mit seinem Schicksal anderen Kindern und ihren Eltern Mut zu machen. Er erzählt, mit einer Prise Galgenhumor, wie er sich letztendlich erfolgreich durch vier Chemotherapien kämpfte, wie es ist, wenn im Nebenzimmer auf einmal ein Kind fehlt und wenn die eigene Mutter mit Tränen in den Augen um Kraft ringt. Als ehemaliger Patient des St. Anna Kinderspitals zeigt er dabei, was Kinderärzte noch besser machen könnten.
