DESCRIERE:

Instrument util pentru luarea deciziilor terapeutice adecvate

Realizat intr-un format usor de utilizat, Manualul de Farmaco­terapie, Editia a zecea este un ghid util atat pentru profesionistii din farmacii, laboratoare, clinici, cat si pentru medicii, studentii si rezidentii din domeniu.

Pentru ca farmacistul sa devina un furnizor de servicii de asistența de sanatate, este necesara dez­voltarea competențelor, in cadrul pregatirii postuniversitare, atat prin rezidentiat si prin programe de educatie continua, cat si prin studiu individual. Accesul la surse de informare obiective este esential pentru o educatie de calitate, iar Manualul de Farmacoterapie poate fi un real sprijin in procesul de formare continua.

Ghidul ofera informatia esențiala pentru peste 140 de boli si afectiuni intalnite cel mai frecvent in practica clinica. Informatiile sunt prezentate sub forma de text, tabele, figuri sau algoritmi de tratament, totul pentru a facilita utilizarea si ințelegerea acestora.

 

Fiecare capitol este organizat intr‑o maniera similara, consecventa:

             • Definirea starii de boala

             • Prezentarea concisa a elementelor de fiziopatologie relevante

             • Tablou clinic

             • Diagnostic

             • Tratament

             • Evaluarea rezultatelor terapiei

              

Reactiile alergice si alte tulburari induse de medicamente, cum sunt cele hematologice, hepatice, pulmonare si renale sunt prezentate sub forma tabelara, in cinci anexe: Alergia la medicamente, Afectare hematologica indusă de medicamente, Afectare hepatica indusa de medicamente, Afectare pulmonara indusa de medicamente si Afectare renala indusa de medicamente. O alta anexa, de asemenea in format tabelar, include informatii privind managementul farmaco­terapiei la varstnici.

 

Traducerea si ingrijirea materialului a fost realizata de o echipa de 70 de profesionisti din domeniul farmaceutic, care include cadre didactice ale facultatilor de farmacie din tara (UMF Cluj, UMF Iasi, UMF Bucuresti), far­macisti specialisti in specialitatea farmacie clinica, medici si farmacisti rezidenti.

Ce am făcut noi?

     Am renunțat la unele capitole (cum ar fi „alegerea metodei de evaluare”); am adăugat capitole noi (de pildă „adaptarea cordului la efortul fizic”, „cardio-oncologia”); am ameliorat unele fragmente prin schimbarea autorilor (de exemplu „tomografia computerizată” scrisă de prof. dr. Ioana Lupescu, „rezonanța magnetică nucleară” de dr. Răzvan Capșa), am îmbogățit unele capitole (de pildă „regurgitarea aortică” scrisă de dr. Roxana Enache, acesta fiind titlul doctoratului său, „evaluarea riscului perioperator în chirurgia non-cardiacă și cardiacă” scrisă de noul intervenționist dr. Lucian Predescu).

Ce am adus nou?

     Am îmbogățit unele capitole, schimbându-le aspectul: am înlocuit, de exemplu, prezentarea de caz Marfan cu altele noi, fistulele cutanate și coronariene, la „evaluarea clinică a bolilor cardiovasculare”; am ameliorat capitolele (adăugând, de pildă, „ecografia de stres” la „ecocardiografie”; am adus la zi capitolele vechi, adăugându-le noile clasificări (la „cardiomiopatii”) sau noile indicații ale ghidurilor ESC (la capitolul „tromboembolismul pulmonar”); am schimbat aproape totul – în mod special prezentările de caz (la hipertensiunea pulmonară, bolile cardiace congenitale, pericardite).

Ce frapează acum?

     Aerul nou al cărții; plăcerea de a scrie oriunde a autorilor (capitolul de „prevenție” s-a scris în străinătate) și minuțiozitatea extremă a descrierilor (vezi insuficiența cardiacă) și expunerea excepționalei experiențe a medicilor (vezi „afectarea cardiacă în alte condiții patologice”).

     Astfel, putem spune că am preluat de la maeștrii noștri – prof. dr. C. C. Iliescu, prof. dr. Costin Carp, prof. dr. Eduard Apetrei – tot ceea ce au realizat; am „cules” de la scriitorii care au publicat în Editura Academiei Române claritatea stilului și am încercat să realizăm o carte foarte bună.

Ce spun autorii?

• O experiență nouă, o bucurie de a transmite ceea ce am învățat noilor generații alegând cu parcimonie ceea ce este de scris pe hârtie. (Prof. dr. Bogdan Alexandru Popescu)

• Am scris cu deosebită conștiinciozitate tot ce mi s-a părut interesant, încercând să „prind” publicul în nesfârșitele contradicții ale insuficienței cardiace și bolilor cardiace congenitale. (Prof. dr. Ioan Mircea Coman)

• Mi-am ales cu grijă temele pentru a ilustra cât mai convingător ce este nou printre factorii de risc, insuficiența cardiacă, ischemia mezenterică. Mi-am ridicat sus ștacheta și am încercat s-o depășesc. (Conf. dr. Ruxandra Jurcuț)

• Am încercat să ies din tipare, să fac atrăgătoare prezentările ECG și de HTA prin exemple deosebite și să adaug un nou „farmec” tromboembolismului pulmonar... (Dr. Carmen Beladan)

• Am scris cu atenție, reluând nu odată textul, încercând să fac cât mai clare valvulopatiile, cu nenumăratele lor nuanțe. (Dr. Andreea Călin)

• O experiență cu adevărat nouă. Am încercat împreună cu colegii mei de echipă și chirurgul șef al clinicii de chirurgie să descriu în amănunt bolile aortei și moartea subită și resuscitarea cardiacă cu toate datele sale noi. (Conf. dr. Ovidiu Chioncel)

• Mi-am dorit să limpezesc, să aduc la zi tot ceea ce se știe acum despre angina stabilă, inclusiv despre noile anticoagulante, și să ilustrez cât mai atrăgător tot ceea ce este nou. (Dr. Adrian Mereuță)

• Nu este numai ce s-a scris (pot zice că am muncit din greu la sindroamele coronariene acute cu supradenivelare de ST), ci și modul în care s-a lucrat, nesfârșita grijă pentru fiecare amănunt, pentru fiecare cuvânt. (Dr. Cosmin Călin)

Păreri ale cititorilor

   • Printr-un efort colectiv deosebit, gestionat cu deplină competență de editor, a rezultat o lucrare remarcabilă, care va servi ca o „carte de bază” pentru generațiile viitoare de cardiologi. (Prof. dr. Tiberiu Nanea)

 Usor de citit, cu un numar impresionant de desene anatomice si relevanta din punct de vedere clinic, Anatomia lui Gray pentru studenti, editia a patra, reprezinta manualul viitorilor medici in ceea ce priveste informatiile esentiale din anatomia umana. Acest volum complet revizuit se concentreaza pe cunostințele de baza pe care studentii trebuie sa le detina si se distinge printr-un format usor accesibil care faciliteaza parcurgerea eficienta a materialului. O echipa de autori si consilieri experti la nivel mondial isi impartasesc vasta experienta de predare si practica clinica, evidentiata si de cele peste 1 000 de ilustratii originale prezente pe parcursul cartii. 

• Ajuta studentii sa inteleaga aplicatiile practice ale conceptelor anatomice prin parcurgerea unica a anatomiei regionale, a imaginilor corelative de diagnostic si a studiilor clinice de caz. 
• Ofera conținut clinic complet revizuit si actualizat – incluzand numeroase noi casete de tip Noțiuni clinice plus noi cazuri medicale, ilustratii si informatii corelate pe parcursul intregului volum. 
• Permite cititorilor sa afle rapid conceptele de baza din fiecare capitol, cu ajutorul Descrierii generale. 
• Contine noi desene schematice pentru structurile si subiectele-cheie din fiecare capitol, oferind astfel o abordare simplificată, ideala pentru o ințelegere rapida și o reproducere ușoara a ilustratiilor de anatomie.
• Prezinta anatomia umana in mod logic in funcțte de regiunea corpului, acoperind fiecare dintre sistemele principale ale corpului pentru a facilita invatarea (sistemele cardiovascular, respirator, gastrointestinal, urogenital, limfatic si nervos).
Editia a patra a Anatomiei lui Gray pentru studenti este o carte moderna care poate fi inclusa fara ezitare in orice bibliografie. Conceputa pentru studentii din diferite arii medicale (medicina generala, dentara, dar si alte specialitati), lucrarea se dovedeste folositoare acestora in sistemul tradițional de invațamant, dar poate reprezenta si o completare adusa cursurilor si lucrarilor practice. Fiecare capitol poate fi tratat independent, ordinea in care acestea se studiaza neafectând calitatea actului educațional. Volumul se distinge printr-o buna traducere, care gaseste linia comuna intre limbajul anatomic american si cel romanesc.

The only anatomy atlas illustrated by physicians, Atlas of Human Anatomy, 7th edition, brings you world-renowned, exquisitely clear views of the human body with a clinical perspective. In addition to the famous work of Dr. Frank Netter, you'll also find nearly 100 paintings by Dr. Carlos A. G. Machado, one of today's foremost medical illustrators. Together, these two uniquely talented physician-artists highlight the most clinically relevant views of the human body. In addition, more than 50 carefully selected radiologic images help bridge illustrated anatomy to living anatomy as seen in everyday practice.

·         Region-by-region coverage, including Muscle Table appendices at the end of each section.

·         Large, clear illustrations with comprehensive labels not only of major structures, but also of those with important relationships.

·         Tabular material in separate pages and additional supporting material as a part of the electronic companion so the printed page stays focused on the illustration.

Updates to the 7th Edition - based on requests from students and practitioners alike:

·         New Systems Overview section featuring brand-new, full-body views of surface anatomy, vessels, nerves, and lymphatics.

·         More than 25 new illustrations by Dr. Machado, including the clinically important fascial columns of the neck, deep veins of the leg, hip bursae, and vasculature of the prostate; and difficult-to-visualize areas like the infratemporal fossa.

·         New Clinical Tables at the end of each regional section that focus on structures with high clinical significance. These tables provide quick summaries, organized by body system, and indicate where to best view key structures in the illustrated plates.

·         More than 50 new radiologic images - some completely new views and others using newer imaging tools - have been included based on their ability to assist readers in grasping key elements of gross anatomy.

·         Updated terminology based on the international anatomic standard, Terminologia Anatomica, with common clinical eponyms included.

·         Student Consult access includes a pincode to unlock the complete enhanced eBook of the Atlas through Student Consult. Every plate in the Atlas-and over 100 Bonus Plates including illustrations from previous editions-are enhanced with an interactive label quiz option and supplemented with "Plate Pearls" that provide quick key points and supplemental tools for learning, reviewing, and assessing your knowledge of the major themes of each plate.

Review

Unsurpassed illustrations of human anatomy for medicine and healthcare

About the Author

Frank H. Netter was born in New York City in 1906. He studied art at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design before entering medical school at New York University, where he received his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1931. During his student years, Dr. Netter's notebook sketches attracted the attention of the medical faculty and other physicians, allowing him to augment his income by illustrating articles and textbooks. He continued illustrating as a sideline after establishing a surgical practice in 1933, but he ultimately opted to give up his practice in favor of a full-time commitment to art. After service in the United States Army during World War II, Dr. Netter began his long collaboration with the CIBA Pharmaceutical Company (now Novartis Pharmaceuticals). This 45-year partnership resulted in the production of the extraordinary collection of medical art so familiar to physicians and other medical professionals worldwide. Icon Learning Systems acquired the Netter Collection in July 2000 and continued to update Dr. Netter's original paintings and to add newly commissioned paintings by artists trained in the style of Dr. Netter. In 2005, Elsevier Inc. purchased the Netter Collection and all publications from Icon Learning Systems. There are now over 50 publications featuring the art of Dr. Netter available through Elsevier Inc.

Dr. Netter's works are among the finest examples of the use of illustration in the teaching of medical concepts. The 13-book Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations, which includes the greater part of the more than 20,000 paintings created by Dr. Netter, became and remains one of the most famous medical works ever published. The Netter Atlas of Human Anatomy, first published in 1989, presents the anatomic paintings from the Netter Collection. Now translated into 16 languages, it is the anatomy atlas of choice among medical and health professions students the world over.

The Netter illustrations are appreciated not only for their aesthetic qualities, but, more importantly, for their intellectual content. As Dr. Netter wrote in 1949 "clarification of a subject is the aim and goal of illustration. No matter how beautifully painted, how delicately and subtly rendered a subject may be, it is of little value as a medical illustration if it does not serve to make clear some medical point.” Dr. Netter's planning, conception, point of view, and approach are what inform his paintings and what make them so intellectually valuable.

Frank H. Netter, MD, physician and artist, died in 1991.

Urgentele cardiovasculare continua sa detina primul loc ca incidenta, severitate si risc de deces. Frecvent, rapiditatea interventiei terapeutice este aceea care decide viata sau moartea bolnavilor. De aceea, se impune cunoasterea si aplicarea, cel putin intr-o prima etapa, a unor algoritmi simpli de diagnostic si tratament care sa ofere bolnavilor sansa de a supravietui. Este ceea ce incearca sa ofere Urgente cardiovasculare in camera de garda. Desigur, dupa aplicarea primelor masuri de diagnostic si tratament, medicul va avea timp sa consulte si sa recurga la toate manoperele si terapiile recomandate in ghiduri sau in tratate de specialitate.

State-of-the-art coverage of disease mechanisms: Harrison’s focuses on pathophysiology with rigor, and with the goal of linking disease mechanisms to treatments. Improved understanding of how diseases develop and progress not only promotes better decision-making and higher value care, but also makes for fascinating reading and improved retention. Harrison’s summarizes important new basic science developments, such as the role of mitochondria in programmed and necrotic cell death, the immune system’s role in cancer development and treatment, the impact of telomere shortening in the aging and disease processes, and the role of the microbiome in health and disease. Understanding the role of inflammation in cardiovascular disease, the precise mechanisms of immune deficiency in HIV/AIDS, prions and misfolded proteins in neurodegenerative diseases, and obesity as a predisposition to diabetes are just a few examples of how this edition provides essential pathophysiology information for health professionals. All-new sections covering a wide range of new and emerging areas of vital interest to all healthcare professionals.

Coordonatorii editiei in limba romana: Prof. Dr. Corin Badiu si Prof. Dr. Cristian Baicus

Unic printre textele medicale, Manualul Oxford de Medicina Clinica (ediția a zecea) reprezinta un material complet si concis pentru specializarile principale ale medicinei si ofera o abordare holistica, centrata pe pacient. Editia a zecea prezinta informatii-cheie actualizate, iar capitolele privind gastroenterologia, bolile infectioase, neurologia si radiologia au fost complet revizuite. Abordarea tematica se suprapune cu evaluarea clasica a fiecarui caz: anamneza si examenul obiectiv, apoi descrierea patologiei pe aparate si sisteme, cu exemple, scheme, tabele si imagini, care aduc valoare practicii medicale.

Apreciat de medici de peste trei decenii, Manualul Oxford de Medicina Clinica continua sa fie un ghid cu adevarat indispensabil pentru practica medicinei moderne.

 Prefata la editia in limba romana

„Pornind de la prima pagina, medicul cu experienta sau in formare descopera un nou prieten: o carte sintetizată, bine organizată tematic, atractiva, care expune intr-o combinatie unica elementele de detaliu privind diagnosticul si tratamentul. Sistematizata in 19 capitole, manualul porneste de la un scurt istoric filozofic al domeniului, luand in discutie repere majore ale filozofiei medicale, dar si aspecte etice importante. Principiile medicinei bazate pe dovezi si ale statisticii medicale fac parte din acelasi capitol initial.

Abordarea tematica se suprapune cu evaluarea clasica a fiecarui caz: anamneză si examenul obiectiv, apoi descrierea patologiei pe aparate si sisteme, cu exemple, scheme, tabele si imagini, care aduc valoare practicii medicale.

Temele speciale sunt evidentiate prin casete specifice, la care se face trimitere ori de cate ori este necesar. Realizate excelent din punct de vedere grafic, imaginile sunt foarte sugestive, intregind armonios informatia din text si tabele. Manualul include informatii de ultima ora, foarte bine structurate in tabele si algoritmi, care ofera practicianului un sprijin permanent in decizia medicala. Din loc in loc se regasesc istorioare din viata curenta a practicianului sau repere istorice ale domeniului, care fac lectura captivanta.

Traducerea carții Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine a beneficiat de implicarea unui grup de specialisti entuziasti, care au adaptat informatiile la terminologia clasica romaneasca, realizand un text fluent, atractiv si precis. Multumim tuturor celor care au dedicat timp si energie pentru a face posibila aparitia acestui manual in limba romana.

Sunt convins ca acest volum reprezinta un instrument util atat pentru medicul cu experiența, cat si pentru cel aflat la inceputul carierei, fiecare gasind deopotrivă un prieten de nadejde în Manualul Oxford de Medicina Clinica.

Va dorim lectura placuta!

Prof. Dr. Corin Badiu”
