  • Radiosurgery and Radiotherapy for Benign Skull Base Tumors, An Issue of Otolaryngologic Clinics

    • 1 Edición
    • Volumen 42-4
    • Robert A. Battista
    • Inglés
    Benign tumors of the base of the skull, such as acoustic neuroma, glomus jugulare and meningiomas will commonly cause symptoms referable to the realm of an otolaryngologist. Specifically, the symptoms of these types of tumors may include hearing loss, dizziness, tinnitus, facial numbness, difficulty swallowing and/or facial paralysis. For this reason, otolaryngologists are the physicians most frequently involved in the care of these patients. More importantly, otolaryngologists are the physicians best suited to treat the majority of complications associated with treatment of these types of tumors. Until the last past decade or so, traditional microsurgery has been the main treatment for benign skull base tumors. In the last few years, radiotherapy and radiosurgery have been used with increasing frequency to treat these lesions. The North American Skull Base Society predicts that by the year 2010 a greater percentage of acoustic tumors will be treated with radiosurgery than by traditional microsurgery. In order to prepare for this paradigm shift in treatment, otolaryngologists must become familiar with the different types of radiation treatments as well as the potential complications associated with radiation treatment for benign skull base tumors.

  • Hemostasis and Coagulation, An Issue of Clinics in Laboratory Medicine

    • 1 Edición
    • Volumen 29-2
    • Henry M. Rinder
    • Inglés
    The understanding of hemostasis physiology has been considerably advanced by models of kinetics and by the complicated interplay of cells and soluble coagulation factors. How this physiology is currently, or will eventually, be reflected in clinical laboratory testing is the subject of this monograph; this information is key for laboratorians to implement physiologic concepts into practical data and for clinicians to understand the basis of and therefore correctly treat hemostatic disease. Many thousands of patients present with bleeding disorders or bleeding complications of other diseases, and millions of individuals suffer the morbidity and mortality of thromboembolic complications. How laboratory testing confronts the challenge of predicting different hemostatic risks and guiding therapy is the critical subtext of the chapters in this monograph. New developments in hemostasis physiology have identified thrombin as an important, if not central, coordinator of hemostatic function and thus a target for measurement to assess hemostatic function and risk. Whether such measurements as endogenous thrombin potential or thromboelastography will accurately predict and/or quantitate global hemostatic function is an important question. Modeling the clinical risks of bleeding or thromboembolism currently uses the laboratory presence or absence of particular risk factors, but our clinical understanding of risk appears to more closely approximate a dynamic model, even within individual patients. Therefore, testing for platelet dysfunction or comprehending the functional implications of a lupus anticoagulant may rely on our evolving comprehension of hemostasis phyisology and perhaps require more sophisticated interpretation of clinical predictors of hemostatic risk. This monograph aims to shed some light in these areas and promote investigation of such key hemostasis issues.

    • Inglés
    In spite of the fact that vasectomy is currently the most commonly utilized form of male contraception and it has been in use for more than 50 years, very little has been written regarding standards of practice, procedure, and follow up. This issue addresses these issues in such a way to allow the reader to evaluate what works best for their individual practice utilizing evidence-based medicine when it exists. It is not surprising in a society with a divorce rate of aproximately 50 % and an excess of 500,000 vasectomies per annum, that there is demand for vasectomy reversal. Approximately 6% of vasectomies are reversed. Although the most common indication for vasectomy reversal is remarriage, there are other indications.

    In the last decade, the treatment of hip disease has made huge advancements in terms of patients returning to high levels of function and also in the durability of hip prostheses. Although the anterior approach to the hip has had a long history in orthopedics, it is only in recent years that surgeons are rediscovering this approach to treat both new pathology i.e. femoroacetabular impingement, as well as to facilitate patient’s recovery after hip replacement surgery. This issue of OCNA brings together leading experts in the field of hip reconstruction which have been to explore the full potential of the anterior approach in restoring hip function.

    Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has evolved into a first-line imaging tool for several cardiac pathologies over the past decade. It is continuing to evolve as new applications are found and old ones are refined. This issue has a dual focus. One aspect of focus is on the areas in which CMI is the best modality, such as assessment of cardiac morphology and cardiac function, evaluation of pericardial disease and intracardiac masses, and detection of coronary artery disease. The other focus is on areas in which the role of CMI is expanding, such as in the assessment of left and right ventricular diastolic function.
