Photobiomodulation in Wound Care
This book focuses on the use of photobiomodulation in wound care, grounded in scientific principles and the best available evidence. It encourages professionals to reflect on Evidence-Based Practices and Evidence-Based Nursing, thereby empowering nurses to play an essential role in wound care. This book equips nurses to deliver high-quality, effective care. It covers the history of biophotonics, the physical principles of light and its interaction with biological tissues, and aspects of dosimetry and treatment individualization. This includes using the correct technique, preparing the wound bed to receive light, and the necessary posttreatment care. It also addresses the main clinical indications and contraindications for low-level laser therapy, how to select the ideal light based on the healing stage and the wound's specific conditions, and demonstrates successful clinical cases involving photobiomodulation.
Making Sense of the Pediatric EEG
Most neurologists, fellows, and residents are familiar with adult EEG, but have not developed a similar understanding of pediatric EEG. There are fewer resources covering pediatric electroencephalography and existing books are either too comprehensive or lack the main details that differentiate the EEG in childhood. This accessible text includes the most recent classification and nomenclature published by the International League Against Epilepsy. It provides a practical and well illustrated text of value to residents, fellows, and neurologists in need of an update on pediatric EEG.

Psychiatric & Behavioural Disorders in Children with Epilepsy
This report of the ILAE Child Neuropsychiatry Taskforce, Neuropsychobiology Commission, was published as an e-supplement in Epileptic Disorders (Volume 8, May 2016), educational journal of the International League Against Epilepsy. Psychiatric and behavioural problems are reported to occur in 35-50% of children with epilepsy. They affect the quality of the childrens and their families lives in a very challenging manner. The ad hoc Commissions and Taskforces of the International League Against Epilepsy are regularly following progress made in the field, also promoting a larger diffusion of existing knowledge and future research. The present report is a state-of-the-art critical review, putting together numerous data concerning topics such as epidemiology, pharmacotherapy, the effects of antiepileptic drugs and epilepsy surgery, the relationships between epilepsy and many psychiatric disorders. It also points out the specific areas in need of controlled trials, such as early diagnosis and management.

The Role of Telehealth in an Evolving Health Care Environment
In 1996, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released its report Telemedicine: A Guide to Assessing Telecommunications for Health Care. In that report, the IOM Committee on Evaluating Clinical Applications of Telemedicine found telemedicine is similar in most respects to other technologies for which better evidence of effectiveness is also being demanded. Telemedicine, however, has some special characteristics-shared with information technologies generally-that warrant particular notice from evaluators and decision makers. Since that time, attention to telehealth has continued to grow in both the public and private sectors. Peer-reviewed journals and professional societies are devoted to telehea...
