Hospice and Palliative Medicine and Supportive Care Flashcards
Hospice and Palliative Medicine and Supportive Care Flashcards is a comprehensive, evidence-based book of flashcards for clinicians caring for patients who require hospice and palliative care and supportive care. Written in a clinical scenario/vignette, question and answer format by experts with first-hand experience in the field, the flashcards are highly readable and serve as a source of fast answers to clinical questions in the field. A total of 300 flashcards are organized into chapters by symptom/disease and provide readers with up-to-date information that follow the core curriculum of American Board of Hospice and Palliative Medicine for ease of use and rapid review for exams. This book will equip care professionals with key concepts related to the assessment and management of palliative care, making it an ideal point-of-care quick reference material for physicians, nurse practitioners, fellows, residents, and students.
Oncologic Emergencies
This new resource on managing oncologic emergencies is directed at all health care professionals who care for patients with cancer or survivors. Edited and written by clinician-experts at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, the book covers the full range of oncologic emergencies, from cardiac and neurologic to orthopedic to hematologic, and addresses important palliative care, ethical, and Emergency Department considerations. Chapters are structured with busy clinicians in emergent and urgent settings in mind, and each chapter concludes with a series of key practice points and a list of suggested readings for those who wish to delve deeper into a subject. For any clinician facing the increasing number of patients who experience an oncologic emergency, this is an up-to-date, clinically focused, and authoritative resource.
Rare Lung Diseases
This book aims to be a complete guide to diagnose, manage, and treat rare lung diseases encountered by practicing pulmonologists and trainees. It extensively covers the "more common" of the rare lung diseases, categorizing them based on developmental lung anomalies in adults, airway disorders, diffuse parenchymal lung diseases, neoplasms, rare vascular disorders, and other miscellaneous conditions. This comprehensive review facilitates the study and understanding of this complex and diverse set of disorders, focusing on differential diagnosis, evidence-based discussions of management algorithms, and thoughtful analysis of treatment options. Key Features * Reviews multiple rare lung diseases, including ones acquired congenitally to be expressed in old age * Enriched with case studies and illustrations to guide respiratory physicians and trainees to devise an effective treatment plan *Focuses on concerned investigations, with a section on the role of new procedures in management
Pulmonary and Critical Care Considerations of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
This book serves as a guide to the pulmonary and critical care complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). HSCT is an important therapeutic modality for a variety of malignant and non-malignant conditions. The outcomes of these patients have been improving and the number of HSCT cases is increasing around the world. These patients, however, continue to have post-transplant complications related to conditioning regimens and graft vs. host disease. Pulmonary complications following HSCT remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in this patient population. The book begins with an overview of HSCT and graft vs. host disease. Chapters then cover particular complications...
Cancer and the Heart
The book begins with the basic science behind the medical applications of the knowledge: cardiovascular biology, pathways, and their relationship to cancer treatment and principles of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The second section consists of an overview and classification of anti-cancer drugs and a look at their cardiotoxicity. The third section looks at cardiac imaging in the cancer patient, including cardiac ultrasound, Doppler imaging, nuclear imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography in the cancer patient. In section four, management of cardiac disease in the cancer patient is discussed, including cardiac rhythm disturbances and heart failure. Cardiac emergencies and interventions are described as is preoperative assessment of the cancer patient for non- cardiovascular surgery. The final section includes a range of topics such as the pericardium, cardiovascular effects of endocrine treatments, primary cardiac tumors and malignancies of the myocardium and pericardium. Cardiac monitoring during clinical trials and pulmonary concerns are also addressed, as are psychosocial, social, economic, and legal issues of the cancer patient with heart disease.
The Thorax
The current medical practice has become more of a team effort rather than an isolated practice. The current evaluation of patients in the daily practice is essentially performed by medical assessment of the patient in question followed by diagnostic imaging, and when needed and possible the evaluation of tissue for diagnosis with its subsequent assessment of biomarkers and other ancillary tools that play an important role in the evaluation and prognosis. The book herein proposed will exactly provide such assessment focused in the thoracic assessment of patients afflicted with any particular disease of the thorax. Expert clinician in pulmonary medicine will provide the state of the art in the...
Cancer
Designed for the busy practitioner, Cancer provides succinct coverage of the assessment and treatment of a multitude of rehabilitation issues as they uniquely affect cancer patients. Broken into four sections with 66 alphabetically arranged topics, this go-to reference addresses the key concerns in cancer rehabilitation ranging from basic principles, exercise, and therapy interventions to acupuncture, massage, and end-of-life care. Primary conditions covered include bone marrow transplant, brain disease and tumors, hematologic cancer, metastatic bone disease, neurofibromatosis, and spinal cord compression. The largest section of the book is devoted to the myriad disease or treatment-related ...
Advances in Surgical and Medical Specialties
The pace and sophistication of advances in medicine in the past two decades have been truly breathtaking. This has necessitated a growing need for comprehensive references that highlight the current issues in specific sectors of medicine. Keeping this in mind, each volume in the Current Issues in Medicine series is a stand‐alone text that provides a broad survey of various critical topics in a focused area of medicine—all accomplished in a user-friendly yet interconnected format. However, unlike other series on medicine or medical texts, this series focuses on current trends, perspectives, and issues in medicine that are central to healthcare delivery in the 21st century. Medical practit...
Managing Immunotherapy Related Organ Toxicities
Certain organ toxicities can be severe and life-threatening. Therefore, it is crucial to recognize these disease entities early on to provide prompt and effective treatments to improve the quality of patient care, and enable the continuation of cancer therapy long-term. A clinical handbook with a particular focus in this field is lacking. This handbook focuses on the comprehensive, systematic review of clinical aspects of immunotherapy-induced toxicities in 15 major organ systems. The organs covered include endocrine, eye, gut, heart, kidney, liver, lung, muscular-skeletal, neuro, pancreas and skin etc. A unique feature about this book is the inclusion of perspectives from Anesthesiology, In...
Cancer Immunotherapy – Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategies to Enhance Antitumoral Efficacies whilst Minimizing Toxicity
With their unprecedented success, cancer immunotherapies including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), cancer vaccines, adoptive cell therapy (ATC), and immunomodulators are being increasingly used for various malignancies. Distinct from traditional treatments including surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, immunotherapeutics attempt to create long-lasting anti-tumor effects. However, only a minority of patients experience long-term benefits to single-agent immunotherapy, and most patients do not have initial responses to the immunotherapy or develop relapse after promising initial responses. Strategies to overcome immunotherapy resistance include (1) the development of biomarkers t...
