The book is needed for several reasons. Bariatric surgery is one of the most clinically effective and cost effective services in any field of medicine, and is growing in popularity, and the non-specialist family practitioner, allied health professional and pharmacist need to know exactly what it involves. Bariatric surgery is in everyone's interest - whether medic or patient, as it offers improvement in diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnoea, fatty liver and many cancers, whilst reducing benefits, housing costs and the general burden on the economy. There is a lot of flawed thinking on surgery in primary care, with only a minority of family practitioner specialists making the majority of referrals, whilst many are denying their patients access because of their own misconceived ideas. A 'back to basics' book will help tackle the negative views surrounding the topic, and improve the volume and quality of referrals. Very often patients turning up to obesity centres have been given poor advice, and inappropriate treatment, and arrive with little or no idea what to expect.  Many medics prioritise other conditions first, overlooking the underlying cause, i.e. obesity. Basic education on obesity and co-morbidities is fast becoming essential.

Dieses Buch stellt eine Auswahl neurologischer klinischer Fälle vor und unterstützt den Leser darin, klinisches Selbstvertrauen bei der Herangehensweise an einen Fall zu erlangen, aber auch bei der Anforderung von Untersuchungen (in Absprache mit angrenzenden Disziplinen, z.B. der Radiologie) sowie bei der Überweisung an andere Fachbereiche. Das Fallbuch untersucht eine Reihe verschiedener klinischer Szenarien und neurologischer Erkrankungen, von Multipler Sklerose und degenerativen Erkrankungen bis hin zu Epilepsie und Kopfschmerzen.Das Werk kann als Hilfe für in der Lehre dienen, bei denen Dozierende den Fall vorstellen ("Erzählen der Geschichte", neurologische Untersuchung) und die Kursteilnehmenden dann Differentialdiagnosen und weitere Untersuchungen vorschlagen. Der Lehrende präsentiert gegebenenfalls repräsentative Untersuchungsergebnisse und erwartet, dass die Kursteilnehmenden diese interpretieren und schließlich den Fall abschließen, weitere Überweisungen vorschlagen und die Prognose besprechen. Zielgruppe sind Neurologen und Neurologinnen in der Weiterbildung und alle Nicht-Neurologen, die in der Klinik mit neurologischen Fällen konfrontiert werden könnten, und eignet sich für den Unterricht am Krankenbett, insbesondere wenn nicht genügend Patienten auf der Station zur Verfügung stehen.Dieses Buch stellt eine Übersetzung einer ursprünglich englischsprachigen Ausgabe dar. Die Übersetzung wurde mithilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz vorgenommen (maschinelle Übersetzung durch DeepL.com). Eine anschließende menschliche Überarbeitung wurde vorwiegend im Hinblick auf den Inhalt durchgeführt, sodass sich das Buch sich stilistisch von einer herkömmlichen Übersetzung unterscheidet.

This book provides a concise overview of several critically important techniques and their applications within Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration (LCBDE).  LCBDE is rapidly emerging as the preferential management option for treating patients with common bile duct (CBD) stones. Chapters within this book describe how this technique can be applied to manage patients with concomitant gallstones, which aims to increase the exploration of the CBD via the transcystic route. Particular mention is made for the use of energy devices to enable stone fragmentation within the bile duct also known as Lithotripsy-Assisted Bile duct Exploration by Laparoendoscopy (LABEL). Guidance is also provided on how to set-up an acute biliary service which can offer the single-stage management of concomitant gallstones and choledocholithiasis. The concepts of 'Leveraging Access to Technology and Enhanced Surgical Techniques (LATEST)' in LCBDE and 'Biliary Surgery 2.0' as the framework through which these techniques can be further enhanced are analysed. Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration features insight into how to perform these increasingly important procedures successfully and set-up a service within institutions that are yet to provide it. Therefore, it is a valuable resource for all medical professionals involved in the care of these patients.

This updated second edition provides a concise and up-to-date guide to emergency brain CT scans.

The book aims to give nurses, emergency room physicians, primary care physicians, and doctors the information and tools needed to examine CT scans and explain them to their patients. With this knowledge emergency physicians and trauma surgeons will be able to decide whether an injury is life threatening.
