Percutaneous Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty



This Second Edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect recent advances in the field of percutaneous vertebroplasty. Obsolete sections have been replaced with cutting-edge material, such as an in-depth look at the latest bone cements and devices. Chapters outline spine anatomy, medical management, and patient selection. The text is enhanced by a wealth of illustrations. The addition of practical and challenging case studies furthers the focus of the previous edition by bridging the gap between theory and practice for spine interventionalists, radiologists, neuroradiologists, orthopedic surgeons, and neurosurgeons. New to the Second Edition: - New data on alternate routes for therapy, sacroplasty, and treating tumors - New treatment techniques - Updated examination of biomechanics - New material on complications - Inclusion of vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty cases - Expanded presentation of ACR and SIR care standards - New figures and color images

Providing safe perioperative management for thoracic surgical patients remains one of the most consistently challenging areas both technically and intellectually within the specialty of anesthesiology. The practice of thoracic anesthesia is continually evolving, and this issue of Anesthesiology Clinics provides the newest information from leading practitioners. They answer questions like: Whats next for anesthesia and lung volume reduction? Will post-thoractomy paravertebral analgesia replace epidural analgesia? Which pulmonary vasodilator is best? Topics covered include advances in the art and science of lung isolation, updates in one-lung ventilation, prevention and management of perioperative arrhythmias, anesthesia and lung volume reduction, patients with severe COPD, advances in extracorporeal ventilation, considerations for airway stenting procedures, for patients with anterior mediastinal masses.

Hypoxia and the Circulation (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology)



The hypoxia volumes will focus on cutting edge research at the interface of hypoxia and biomedicine. Hypoxia is a constant threat to the human body and its vital organs throughout life. There are many situations in which the threat is heightened in health and disease, but mechanisms have evolved to lessen its detrimental effects.

The International Hypoxia Symposia was founded to enable scientists, clinicians, physiologists, immunologists, mountaineers and other interested individuals to share their experiences of the situations associated with oxygen lack and the adaptations that allow us to survive.

The mission of the International Hypoxia Symposia is to present cutting edge, sophisticated research at the very highest levels into the many effects of hypoxia on humans and animals in health and disease

Handbook of ICU Therapy



Handbook of ICU Therapy aims to provide rapid access to important information about the treatment of the critically ill patient and will fill the gap between the `list' type manuals and large textbooks or specialist monographs. It comprises a series of `cutting edge' reviews of the most advanced treatment concepts available in the modern ITU. Whilst assuming a basic knowledge of underlying conditions, it nonetheless outlines key physiological principles where necessary, and critically reviews the current literature and practice. The heart of the book is aimed at providing the key practical information on treatment techniques to the busy clinician in an easily accessible format. In addition to conventional drug therapy, ventilator, fluid and physical therapies are also discussed in detail. All of the authors are directly involved in ICU research and practice and represent the new generation of intensivists.
