Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression is both an overused term and, too often, a poorly managed condition. The authors have written this short text to help explain depression: its symptoms, causes, and risks; its impact; and how it can be identified, treated, and prevented. Depression is one of the commonest presenting problems in primary care, but all too often it is not identified and goes untreated. Yet, individuals who seek help for their depression – and whose healthcare professionals (HCPs) recognize it – can be treated effectively. For this to happen, HCPs need appropriate knowledge and skills, based on robust and up-to-date evidence, and to be supported by appropriate systems for service delivery. Table of Contents: • Overview • Definitions and diagnosis • Epidemiology and impact • Identification in clinical practice and prevention • Management • Women and depression • Combination with physical health problems • Self-harm and suicide

Book Synopsis Prognosis in Advanced Cancer by : Paul Glare
Download or read book Prognosis in Advanced Cancer written by Paul Glare and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-03-20 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Predicting survival and other outcomes is increasingly being recognized as an important skill for palliative care doctors and nurses, oncologists, and other healthcare professionals who treat patients with advanced cancer. Accurate prognosis is essential if we are to offer quality of care and 'a good death', as well as to aid decision-making. There is much prognostic information available that is scattered throughout the palliative care and oncological literature but this is the first time it has been gathered systematically in one place. Glare and Christakis, leaders in the field of prognosis, bring together a team of international contributors from across the fields of palliative care and oncology. This comprehensive but practical guide begins with the principles of prognostication, including formulating the prediction and then communicating it. Topics such as statistical issues, evidence-based medicine, and the ethics of prognostication are also covered. The second section addresses prognostication in 15 specific cancer sites once they have reached the advanced stage, following a standard template for consistency and easy access to the key information. The third section deals with prognostication in patients with a variety of common clinical conditions at the end of life, such as bowel obstruction, hypercalcaemia, and brain metastases. In addition, survival curves are provided within each chapter, palliative care conditions are examined for the first time, and a summary table of long and short term prognosis ensures this book remains practical.
