Therapy Dogs in Cancer CareA Valuable Complementary Treatment

Dogs that visit patients with cancer have been convincingly shown to reduce stress, loneliness, and mood disturbance that may complicate cancer care. In addition, dogs may provide important motivation for patients to maintain rehabilitation programs that have been shown to reduce cancer risk and improve cancer survival. Outlining all of these issues and many more, Therapy Dogs in Cancer Care: A Valuable Complementary Treatment is a ground-breaking, highly innovative addition to the literature on cancer care.

Features 7 Ground-breaking title on incorporating dogs into the cancer care arena 7 Evidence-based and developed by an expert in the field 7 Highly practical and easy to read, with tips and strategies to optimize patient outcomes 7 Dog-themed exercise program for cancer survivors

Contents Cancer overview.- Introduction to therapy dogs.- Dogs as cancer detectors.- Dog therapy with cancer.- Adding therapy dogs to your cancer treatment team.- Incorporating companion dogs into cancer rehab: emotional support.- Incorpora-ting companion dogs into cancer rehab: benefits from physical exercise for cancer patients.- In-corporating companion dogs into cancer rehab: dog-themed exercise program for cancer patients.- Incorporating companion dogs into cancer rehab: practical tips for adding a dog into the home  du-ring cancer treatment and recovery.- Resources.

Muscles, Nerves and PainA Guide to Diagnosis, Pain Concepts and Therapy

Many patients suffer from problems in their muscles or nerves in combination with pain. This book is about the interplay of these problems. Pain is the subjective experience of a psycho-physical phenomenon arising from a defined area in the body. It is a cry for help and challenges the physi-cian to ask the right questions and to carry out the right examinations. If they succeed in doing so, the patient’s signs and symptoms will be transla-ted into the present knowledge of pain concepts to initiate appropriate therapy. With this goal in mind, this book summarizes the latest scientific information on pain states and their mechanisms. It provides a deeper understanding of the different pain conditions and allows physicians to form strategies for a mechanism-based pain therapy. When puzzling symptoms of sensory, motor and autonomic deficits are evident, an examination has to be performed systematically in order to reach the correct diagnosis. This calls for suitable anatomical knowledge. Depending on where a lesion exists within a peripheral nerve, the root or the plexus, typical patterns of paralysis can be detected.

Features 7 Written by an expert in this field 7 Numerous color images 7 Comprehensive in scope

Contents 1. Basics of anatomy.- 2. Examination process.- 3. Electrophysiology.- 4. Radicular lesions.- 5. Lesions of single nerves.- 6. Pain from nerve, muscle, and tissue.- 7. Polyneuropathy.- 8. General therapeutic guidelines.

The two previous editions of Applied Physiology in Intensive Care Medicine proved extremely successful, and the book has now been revised and split into two volumes to enhance ease of use. This first volume comprises three elements – „physiolo-gical notes,“ “technical notes,” and seminal studies. The physiological notes concisely and clearly capture the essence of the physiological perspec-tives underpinning our understanding of disease and response to therapy. The technical notes then succinctly explain some of the basics of “how to” in this technology-centered field of critical care medicine.

Features 7 Up-to-date compendium of practical bedside knowledge essential to the effective delivery of acute care medicine 7 Ideal reference source on key issues regularly confronted by clinici-ans 7 Comprises concise physiological and technical notes, more detailed reviews, and a series of seminal studies 7 Written by renowned experts in the field

Contents Physiological Notes: Pulmonary.- Cardiovascular.-Metabolism and Renal Function.-Cerebral Function.-Technical Notes.-Seminal Studies in Intensive Care.

Echocardiography for IntensivistsThis book contains all the information that readers will require in order to perform echocardiogra-phy and to interpret the findings correctly. After an introductory chapter on the essential physics of ultrasonography, standard echocardiographic examination via both the transthoracic and the transesophageal approach is described. In the third section, the functional anatomy of all normal and pathologic thoracic structures as observed on echocardiography is presented in detail. A wide range of basic and advanced applications of echo-cardiography in the emergency and intensive care setting are then described. A final supplementary section considers further applications of ultra-sound in the intensive care unit.

Features 7 Few books are written specifically for the inten-sivist 7 Section D is highly original since it offers goal-directed and focus-oriented ICU echocardi-ography 7 Numerous step-by-step algorithms help the reader with hands-on ICU applications

Contents Section 1: Ultrasonography and use of the Echo Machine.- Section 2: Standard Echocardiographic Examination.- Section 3: Essential Functional Echo-anatomy.- Section 4: Echoradiography in the Intensive care Unit and Operating Room: Basic and Advanced Applications.- Section 5: Ultrasonography in the Intensive Care Unit: Other Applications.- Appendix: Formulae and Normal Values.
