Cutaneous Manifestations of Child Abuse and Their Differential Diagnosis
The interpretation of skin lesions in children that may be due to abuse is often not straightforward, and many reports have been published on dermatological disorders and accidental injuries that were unjustly regarded as signs of child abuse. This book describes in detail the cutaneous manifestations of the physical abuse of children and devotes particular attention to differential diagnosis. Careful guidance is provided on the optimal evaluation of children presenting with findings potentially attributable to abuse. The numerous images and detailed background information will develop the ability of the reader to assess and interpret the clinical signs of abuse, and to distinguish these signs from other causes of injury, such as accidents and self-mutilation, and dermatological disorders. "Cutaneous Manifestations of Child Abuse" will be invaluable for pediatric dermatologists, pediatricians, forensic experts, and others who deal with the physical abuse of children.
Practical Pediatric Dermatology
This book presents a selection of controversial issues of practical importance in pediatric dermatology with the aim of enabling the reader to adopt a well-balanced and evidence-based approach to the management of dermatological disorders encountered during childhood. It is not, therefore, structured according to a basic disease classification; rather it addresses a series of dilemmas in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of conditions, including inflammatory disorders, tumors, immune and autoimmune disorders. In addition to areas of debate in the management of individual conditions, controversies in the use of particular types of treatment, for example retinoids, cyclosporin, acyclovir, and laser therapy, are considered and relevant psychological aspects are discussed. Practical Pediatric Dermatology will assist pediatricians and dermatologists in decision making during daily clinical practice.
Evidence-Based Imaging in Pediatrics
This practical book is ideal for readers who want to rapidly determine the appropriate imaging for pediatric patients. The text provides a concise and accessible summary of the literature on how and when to use imaging studies. Chapters address the essentials, such as cost-effectiveness, and are written in collaboration by renowned specialists in the fields of pediatrics and pediatric radiology. Topics cover common clinical scenarios in neuroimaging and musculoskeletal, chest, and abdominal imaging. Each imaging recommendation is presented along with the supporting data and the strength of the evidence.
Forensic Aspects of Pediatric Fractures
Fractures are a common finding in children and it is estimated that 2.1% of all children will suffer at least one fracture before the age of 16. With young children in particular, the question may arise if this is related to child abuse. The aim of this book is to help physicians involved in child abuse cases to interpret radiological findings in light of the forensic circumstances under which they occurred. The authors present up-to-date literature related to the mechanisms underlying non-accidental cases of trauma. In this book not only the radiological findings in child-abuse are discussed, but more importantly, these findings are analyzed from a forensic perspective. Careful attention is paid to evidence regarding reported trauma mechanisms and their clinical outcome; for example, can a fall from a couch result in a femoral fracture, and if not, where is the supporting evidence?
Forensic Aspects of Paediatric Fractures
This excellently illustrated book, now in a revised and extended second edition, not only describes the radiological findings which can be found in child abuse cases but also places them in a forensic perspective - a crucial aspect often underrepresented in radiological books. The aim is to enable physicians involved in non-accidental trauma cases to interpret radiological findings in light of the forensic circumstances under which these findings have arisen. Accordingly, the book will assist in determining whether a fracture is accidental or the result of abuse. Fractures are addressed not only by anatomical location but also by trauma mechanism, with careful attention to evidence regarding...
Harper's Textbook of Pediatric Dermatology
The third edition of this highly regarded text continues to provide a comprehensive resource for pediatric dermatologists. The book offers evidence-based diagnosis and treatment recommendations and covers both common and rare conditions, including emerging conditions and research, especially at the genetic level. A refreshing new text design makes the book more accessible, and new editors and contributors bring a distinctly international perspective to the work.
Harper's Textbook of Pediatric Dermatology
A consummate classic with a fresh approach to pediatric dermatology Children ́s skin is different. Maturation affects the epidermal barrier, the cutaneous microbiome, adnexal structures, vasculature, and transcutaneous absorption of drugs. The immature skin is more susceptible to pathogens and environmental disruption. Many genetic disorders are either present at birth or manifest early in childhood. Skin diseases thus present differently in children than in adults. Pediatric dermatology has seen significant advances over the last decade, particularly in the field of molecular genetics research, which has furthered our understanding of the pathogenesis of many skin diseases and the developm...
Neuropatología forense
A través de cientos de imágenes seleccionadas entre miles de fotografías que han servido para documentar, a lo largo de al menos los últimos 10 años, miles de casos de necropsias médico legales y que se han considerado representativas de las lesiones encefálicas más frecuentes en la práctica médica forense en Colombia, este libro y atlas ofrece una visión muy completa de las alteraciones morfológicas asociadas al trauma o a enfermedades de interés médico legal como hallazgos para explicar la muerte o las condiciones asociadas a esta. En lo posible, las imágenes han estado acompañadas de breves explicaciones, que complementan lo que se ha querido ilustrar, incluyendo la práctica no infrecuente de errores en la preservación o procesamiento de especímenes y sin olvidar la anatomía normal para la mejor comprensión de las lesiones. El libro es el resultado del esfuerzo sistemático de un equipo de trabajo comprometido con apropiar el conocimiento para todos, una ganancia paradójica que nos lega la historia de violencia en Colombia.
Professor dr. Piet Fontaine
Dit boek biedt eerst een kort, maar bijzonder zorgvuldig overzicht van de geschiedenis van de kinderpsychiatrie tot ongeveer 1950. Dit vormt de aanloop tot een sterk gedocumenteerd relaas over het rijkgevulde beroepsleven van prof. dr. Piet Fontaine (°1924). Fontaine is een pionier op het gebied van de kinderpsychiatrie en de psychotherapie in België. Hij studeerde eerst kindergeneeskunde in Straatsburg en daarna kinderpsychiatrie in Leiden en in Utrecht. Fontaine vestigde zich in 1957 als de eerste kinderpsychiater in Leuven, werd het eerste hoofd van de Dienst voor Kinderpsychiatrie in het Universitaire Ziekenhuis St.-Rafaël in Leuven en bouwde, als perfect tweetalige, een academische c...
