Dialysis Access: Current Practice

The incidence of treated end stage renal disease (ESRD) continues to rise, particularly in the western world. Although renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for ESRD, the decline in the number of cadaveric organs, coupled with the rising demand for transplantation, means that an increasing number of patients will have to depend on dialysis. Vascular or peritoneal access is the Achilles’ heel of any dialysis service. This book offers a clear description of the state of the art in providing and perserving a durable and reliable access. It also points the way to dialysis in the 21st century. The contributing authors are drawn from a wide background, with expertise in various aspects of dialysis access, including its history, the technique of placement, anaesthesia, radiology, nursing care and training of vascular access surgeons. There is currently a dearth of books on the subject of dialysis access. The few existing books on vascular access were written in the United States, with none from the UK. This volume is intended for use by transplant surgeons, general surgeons with an interest in vascular access, vascular surgeons, nephrologists, trainees and nurses. Dialysis services are expanding worldwide and this book is a valuable guide for those involved in daily patient care and organization of dialysis services

Emergencies in Neuro-Ophthalmology: A Case Based Approach



Description

The management of emergent neuro-ophthalmic conditions can be a life-saving encounter for the general ophthalmologist. This book covers life-threatening scenarios that a general ophthalmologist might encounter, and is designed to help the ophthalmologist make emergency triage decisions for initial evaluation and treatment of potentially vision- or life-threatening conditions. This book is case based, and provides the reader with the invaluable expert views of two neuro-ophthalmologists. One, Dr Lee is an ophthalmology-based neuro-ophthalmologist and the other, Dr Brazis is a neurology-based neuro-ophthalmologist. Dr Mughal and Dr Policeni collected and collated the case vignettes during their fellowship with Dr Lee at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.

This textbook provides a concise, easy to read, and practical guide to the emergent evaluation of neuro-ophthalmic conditions. It is designed to be a quick read and not to be all-inclusive or comprehensive. The reader is directed to longer and more comprehensive neuro-ophthalmic texts for this information. It is also not the aim of the book to provide information on anatomy, pharmacology, physiology, or other basic mechanisms of disease. Instead, this text is meant to be a quick reference and resource for the clinician in the emergency room or in the clinic facing a potentially vision- or life-threatening emergency and to provide immediate guidance for potentially "high stakes" decision making. The case vignettes are based upon real clinical cases but the clinical details of each case have been modified for teaching purposes and represent composite rather than individual histories.

Medstudy 2005 Video Board Review of Internal Medicine - Nephrology Video

NEPHROLOGY portion of Medstudy Video Lectures.
This 2005 edition features nearly 50 hours of presentations recorded at MedStudy’s 2005 live IM Intensive Board Review: 10 DVDs. Videos use picture-in-picture view so you can see, simultaneously, the speaker and all the images he or she projected during the lecture. Includes syllabus that holds comprehensive outlines of lectures, a printout of virtually every text, diagram and table slide the speakers used, and the questions and answers from two Board-simulation practice exams given at the Intensive.
Over 600 pages and all of it relevant and useful for video watching and study / review! DVDs have on-screen topic selection menu for easy locating of subject matter. Topics covered in the DVD set are: Cardiology, Dermatology, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, General Internal Medicine, Hematology, Infectious Disease, Nephrology, Neurology, Oncology, Pulmonary Medicine, and Rheumatology.
If you are thinking of taking a live Internal medicine board review course, this is the perfect material to purchase. Going to a live Internal medicine board review course is very expensive. The fee is usually more than $ 1,000 and the board review course is given over five to seven days. You have to shell out additional expenses for airfare and hotel rooms, not to mention the food. Also, you have to be away from your family in some medical boot camp. While many residents like live Internal medicine board review courses, the human attention span is limited to a couple of hours. So an eight-hour day for seven consecutive days doesnt help. Instead buy the Internal medicine board review videos in the early part of your second year residency (PGY 2) and you can watch them several times at your convenience. It is usually the same lectures from a live Internal medicine board review course, videotaped for your convenience. Since you are buying the board review videotapes well before the ABIM boards, you may think that the data may become old. ABIM Internal medicine board exam questions usually are based on well-established medical information. So don’t expect any new research articles to turn up in the ABIM exam questions. It usually takes one or two years for new data to get included into the ABIM board exam question bank

Ascites and Renal Dysfunction in Liver Disease: Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment

There are a number of diseases, such as ascites, renal dysfunction, cirrhosis and hypertension where both the liver and the kidney are involved. In addition, both organs are very important in regulating extracellular fluid volume, and how they work together or don’t work together can affect circulation and the heart. There has been very little written in the literature on the interaction of the two organs. This book addresses that problem.
The first edition of Ascites and Renal Dysfunction in Liver Disease was published in January 1999 and received extremely positive reviews:
‘There is no doubt that this textbook is essential, even for confirmed practitioners’ Acta Gastro-enterologica Belgica
‘Current information regarding treatment and therapy for patients with cirrhosis and ascites is clearly and effectively presented by the top international experts within this field’ Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology
The second edition is entirely revised and updated and the contents place greater emphasis on therapy.

This is one of the first books to deal specifically with diagnostic imaging of the entire spectrum of kidney cancers. Both new and conventional imaging modalities are fully considered. After an introductory chapter on the histopathological classification of kidney cancers, the advantages and disadvantages of the various imaging modalities used in the diagnosis and assessment of disease extension are documented. Subsequent chapters offer an exhaustive description of the radiological features of the different histological subtypes of kidney cancer, with radiological and histological illustrations and tables. The latest innovations in interventional and minimally invasive procedures are also well covered. The book benefits from carefully chosen and technically excellent images. Each of the 24 chapters is written by an internationally acclaimed expert, making this book the most current and complete treatment of the subject available. It should be of great interest to radiologists, oncologists, and urologists.

Management of Acute Kidney Problems - Feb 2010 Edition



Acute kidney failure is an important clinical area in the intensive care unit setting. An estimated 5–20% of critically ill patients experience an episode of acute kidney failure during the course of their illness, and about 5% of patients admitted to an ICU will eventually require renal replacement therapy. In these patients, in-hospital mortality is extremely high, exceeding 50%. Thus, the early detection and causal treatment of acute kidney problems is vitally important for a successful outcome. Written by internationally renowned experts, this clinical reference offers helpful advice with the most recent information on the definition, epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical causes of acute kidney failure as a fundamental prerequisite for prevention of this disorder. Moreover, it also covers differential diagnostic approaches for patients with acute renal failure and provides a detailed outline of important measures for their clinical management. Finally, separate chapters are dedicated to various key aspects related to the adequate delivery of acute renal replacement therapy. It is intended as a helpful guide for all clinicians involved in the care of patients at risk of developing acute kidney problems.
