Handbook of Long Term Care of The Childhood Cancer Survivor (Specialty Topics in Pediatric Neuropsychology) 1st ed

[amazon template=image&asin=1489975837]

This authoritative reference examines in depth the myriad challenges facing pediatric cancer survivors and proposes a robust framework for structured follow-up of these patients through adulthood. Approaches to long-term follow-up include both established models of care and targeted models of lifelong surveillance of late effects by bodily systems and neurological outcomes. Sections devoted to quality of life and re-entry after treatment focus on key concerns such as health risk behaviors, school and career issues, psychological challenges, and care disparities. And a robust resources section adds extra usefulness to the expert coverage.

Among the Handbook’s topics:

• Developmental considerations in the transition from child and adolescent to adult survivorship.
• Long-term follow-up roadmaps by disease and treatment.
• Neuropsychological effects of pediatric brain tumors and associated treatment.
• Building resiliency in childhood cancer survivors: a clinician’s perspective.
• School issues and educational strategies for survivors of childhood cancer.
• Educating and preparing the childhood cancer survivor for long-term care: a curriculum model for cancer centers.

A work of rare scope, scholarship, and clinical acumen, the Handbook of Long-Term Care of the Childhood Cancer Survivor is a rewarding, practice-building resource essential to a wide range of healing professionals, including primary care physicians, pediatricians, oncologists, nurses, psychologists, neuropsychologists, child psychologists, and licensed therapists.

Practical Pediatric Cardiology: Case-Based Management of Potential Pitfalls 1st ed. 2016 Edition

[amazon template=image&asin=1447141822]

Heart disease in children has a number of diagnostic traps for the unwary, and all of us involved in the specialty have been caught at one time or another. For example, it is sometimes very difficult to differentiate between respiratory and cardiac disease in infants and between neurological and cardiac conditions in older children, and the consequences of taking the wrong path can be significant. This book is a collection of cases highlighting situations which can ensnare even the best cardiologist. Although they illustrate the importance of taking a good history and performing a thorough examination, the most important lesson is learning to keep an open mind and develop the ability to think laterally. As clinicians we need to have the confidence to make a decision for our patients but also the humility to be able to acknowledge that we don’t always get it right first time, and it is imperative that we learn from the experience. We hope the reader will find these short chapters interesting and while they are not evidence-based medicine in the true sense, they do represent a wide range of clinical experience from which we can all learn. ​

Epilepsy in Children Third Edition

[amazon template=image&asin=0781726980]

“This is an outstanding book and one of the finest example of a modern medical text. A management harmony of clinical and scientific aspects is constantly in evidence….This book is most warmly recommended to every neurologist, epileptologist, and electroencephalo-grapher.”

Epileptic Disorders, Volume 6, Issue 4 — “The ne

EJPN, 01-JAN-04 — “This is a thought provoking book by three experts in the field that will certainly help the practitioner to diagnose and manage epilepsy in children. It should be available close at hand and dipped into often.”–EJPN

Epilepsy & Behavior, Volume 5, Issue 611 — “For this third edition, the editorship has been boosted by two prominent pediatric neurologists and epileptologists. The book covers major types of epileptic seizures in childhood and corresponding epileptic syndromes; the various manifestations of epilepsy relative to age, cause, duration, and precipitation of seizures, and, naturally, aspects on diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of convulsive disorders in children. This book is extremely comprehensive and encompasses just about every piece of current knowledge strewn about in the vast contemporary literature on childhood epilepsy. It is not literature to browse through, but a gold mine in which to dig and frequently return. The combination of encyclopedic knowledge and clinical bedside approach is attractive. This book, without doubt, will be on the shelves of any professional active in the field of pediatric epilepsy. No doubt.”–Epilepsy & Behavior

Epileptic Disorders, Volume 6, Issue 4 — “The newly updated version of the original text remains undisputedly the single most authoritative treatise on pediatric epilepsy in the literature. The text is logically organized into 25 chapters. All of the chapters have been rewritten and updated. Despite the additional two authors, the text remains refreshingly consistent in its style, making for an easier read and facilitating access to information. Chapter subheadings are logically organized around important core issues in pediatric epilepsy. Each chapter ends with a helpful summary section that crystallizes the salient clinical issues. The text is replete with clinical “pearls” that can be applied directly at the bedside and clinic. The descriptions of seizure semiologies and syndrome features are particularly satisfying and reflect the vast combined clinical experience of the authors. It is worth owning the book for these descriptions alone as they capture the intricate and subtle differences among various seizure types and syndrome presentations. It will undoubtedly become an important resource for pediatric neurologists and epileptologists and is wholeheartedly recommended reading for allied pediatric disciplines involved in the care of pediatric seizure patients.”–Epileptic Disorders

This volume presents cutting-edge advances in case conceptualization and intervention for children and adolescents, who typically present for mental health treatment with multiple,  overlapping problems. Leading clinician-researchers examine common processes–including stress and coping, attention and interpretation biases, avoidant behaviors, and peer and family interactions–that underlie the development and maintenance of diverse forms of psychopathology. They describe exemplary treatments that target these processes and can be used across diagnostic categories. Chapters on specific treatment protocols address the theoretical foundations, clinical strategies used, which patient populations each treatment is suitable for, and the status of the empirical evidence base.

Pediatric Ultrasound: Requisites and Applications

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=3642391559]

Ultrasound (US) plays an extremely important role in diagnostic imaging of neonates, infants, and children. This book systematically covers the use of US in all organ systems throughout childhood. After discussion of the basics, including physics, artifacts, and procedural details, decision making regarding the use of US is elucidated by discussing next diagnostic steps based on recommended imaging algorithms. The indications and prerequisites for a particular examination are listed, and practical tips and tricks are highlighted. The normal, age-dependent findings and typical appearances in different pathologies are then presented and illustrated by numerous high-quality images. Particular emphasis is placed on those findings that differ from the adult US appearances.

Pediatric Ultrasound will prove an indispensable source of information for radiology residents, experienced (pediatric) radiologists, sonographers, pediatricians, and all other physicians who deal with children in their daily practice.
