Deep Brain Stimulation
Deep Brain Stimulation: A New Frontier in Psychiatry provides an overview of current developments and the future possibilities of deep brain stimulation for patients with therapy-refractory psychiatric disorders. The side-by-side presentation of clinical applications and animal research provides a truly translational approach. Also included is a special chapter on the ethical issues involved in deep brain stimulation in psychiatry. Deep brain stimulation of selected brain areas has been shown to result in a substantial improvement of symptoms and quality of life in patients suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, major depressive disorder and drug addiction. Although it is still an experimental therapy and the number of psychiatric patients that are treated is low, its effectiveness and safety makes deep brain stimulation the most promising therapy for treating other serious and life-threatening psychiatric conditions.
Fundamentals and Clinics of Deep Brain Stimulation
This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of our current understanding of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. With a broad multidisciplinary scope, it presents contributions from leading experts in the field from Europe and America, who share not only their knowledge, but their experience as well. The book focuses both on basic and theoretical aspects of DBS, as well as clinical and practical aspects. It follows an evidence-based approach, and where possible offers clinical recommendations based on published guidelines. It starts with a general section, which discusses basic principles and general considerations. This is followed a sections dedicated to neurological disorders, and psychiatric disorders, in which only accepted indications are discussed. All experimental indications are discussed in the final chapter. The text is supplemented with numerous illustrations. Intended for medical specialists and residents involved in the treatment of patients with DBS, it also appeals to other professionals working with DBS patients, such as psychologists, nurses, physiotherapists, as well as basic and clinical neuroscientists.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Contemporary conceptualization and therapeutic strategies are undergoing a revolution as a result of new insights derived from modern technological advances. This book was conceived in order to present this revolution to the reader. It covers current theories regarding the etiology of OCD, what is known about the genetics of this disorder, evidence from neuroimaging and a discussion of potential endophenotypes. There is an evaluation of current treatment approaches for the disorder, encompassing psychological, psychopharmacological and physical interventions, as well as a discussion of treatment r...
Deep Brain Stimulation

Learning Deep Brain Stimulation Management through Clinical Cases
Learning Deep Brain Stimulation Management through Clinical Cases reviews the clinical practice of applying deep brain stimulation (DBS) to patients with movement disorders. The book explores the cardinal aspects of applying DBS in diverse movement disorders based on patient's needs. Every case answers all questions, providing case descriptions and step-by-step procedures for optimal replication. Every chapter includes a clinical decision support system (CDSS) depicted in flowcharts that can be used for reference. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) uses electrical stimulation to regulate electrical signals in neural circuits to and from identified areas in the brain to improve movement symptoms. T...

PathoGraphics
Culturally powerful ideas of normalcy and deviation, individual responsibility, and what is medically feasible shape the ways in which we live with illness and disability. The essays in this volume show how illness narratives expressed in a variety of forms—biographical essays, fictional texts, cartoons, graphic novels, and comics—reflect on and grapple with the fact that these human experiences are socially embedded and culturally shaped. Works of fiction addressing the impact of an illness or disability; autobiographies and memoirs exploring an experience of medical treatment; and comics that portray illness or disability from the perspective of patient, family member, or caregiver: al...
De zondagsvrouw
De zondagsvrouw doet de lezer zowel slikken als schaterlachen. Het is een indringend verhaal, maar door de heldere toon en knappe dialogen is dit geen zwaarmoedig egodocument. Zo passeren onder meer een zingende chirug, een trits leedparasieten, haar moeder tijdens een prachtig gesprek boven een pan soep, een oppervlakkige beursjongen die ze graag op zijn bek zou slaan en pijnlijke momenten als een eenzame inzinking op de keukenvloer en nachtmerries waarin Anna’s hoofd op barsten staat. Anna Bouman schrijft scherp en onderhoudend. Ze spaart niets of niemand, en zeker niet zichzelf, als ze het heeft over de behandelingen van de tumor, de reacties in haar omgeving en haar eigen ontwikkeling. Ook het normale leven blijft, en juist dat vermogen om verder te kijken dan haar ziekte, maakt De zondagsvrouw zo boeiend.
Handboek diepe hersenstimulatie bij neurologische en psychiatrische aandoeningen
Dit Nederlandstalige boek behandelt de snelle ontwikkelingen van diepe hersenstimulatie (deep brain stimulation, DBS) op het gebied van indicatiestelling, chirurgische technieken, hardware, software en stimulatieparameters, en de combinatie van DBS met farmacotherapie en gedragstherapie. Het vormt een essentiële informatiebron voor verwijzers en behandelaars van patiënten, en ook voor paramedici die in hun werk met patiënten die met DBS behandeld worden, te maken krijgen.
