Book Synopsis Ultrasound of Appendicitis by : Julien B.C.M. Puylaert
Download or read book Ultrasound of Appendicitis written by Julien B.C.M. Puylaert and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is remarkable that until recently sonographic studies of the bowel have not reached the diagnostic level that sonography has attained for other parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Gas posed the major ob stacle to obtaining consistent quality results. Julien Puylaert has de veloped a graded-compression technique which is not only able to eliminate gas artifacts, but also - by reducing the distance between the transducer and the bowel - allows the use of high-frequency transducers. Since 1986, when we were barned by his innovative pa per on sonographic evaluation of acute appendicitis, he has demon strated the eminent diagnostic impact of sonography in right lower quadrant pathology in a great number of publications; his excellent diagnostic results have been confirmed by numerous other authors. I have reflected on the conditions that were the basis for this re velatory development in gastrointestinal sonography. The enthusiasm and dedication that Julien Puylaert shows toward diagnostic radiolo gy are unsurpassed. This is a family tradition - his father, Professor Carl Puylaert, is a honorary member of the Radiological Society of North America. Furthermore, the younger Dr. Puylaert has the good fortune to work with associates in the Westeinde Hospital who under stood at an early point what was going on; they made it possible for him to devote much of his time to his beloved subject. Finally, he has always been convinced that the whole sonographic examination should be performed by the radiologist.

Book Synopsis Errors in Radiology by : Luigia Romano
Download or read book Errors in Radiology written by Luigia Romano and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-07-20 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diagnostic errors are important in all branches of medicine because they are an indication of poor patient care. As the number of malpractice cases continues to grow, radiologists will become increasingly involved in litigation. The aetiology of radiological error is multi-factorial. This book focuses on (1) some medico-legal aspects inherent to radiology (radiation exposure related to imaging procedures and malpractice issues related to contrast media administration are discussed in detail) and on (2) the spectrum of diagnostic errors in radiology. Communication issues between the radiologists and physicians and between the radiologists and patients are also presented. Every radiologist should understand the sources of error in diagnostic radiology as well as the elements of negligence that form the basis of malpractice litigation.
Book Synopsis Pathology of the Appendix by : Richard A. Williams
Download or read book Pathology of the Appendix written by Richard A. Williams and published by Chapman & Hall. This book was released on 1994 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this book is to provide a 'ready reference' for pathologists and surgeons (and residents in training) on the pathology of the vermiform appendix and the surgical treatment of its disorders." "At present there is no single English-language monograph devoted entirely to this topic despite the fact that the appendix is the organ most commonly removed in intra-abdominal 'emergency' operations." "It is now over l00 years since the first surgical removal of an appendix for acute appendicitis. In this time there have been major advances in our understanding of pathological processes and a great increase in the availability of diagnostic tests and therapeutic agents, yet many purportedly normal appendices are still removed. This is partly due to the difficulty in localizing the source of intra-abdominal pain and the potential complications of acute appendicitis, but is also due to the fact that many other disease processes mimic the appendicitis syndrome and there is no specific diagnostic laboratory test for the disease." "This text covers the full range of disease processes in the appendix, both neoplastic and non-neoplastic. The development, structure and possible functions of the organ are discussed, as is the current state of knowledge regarding the pathogenesis of disease in the appendix. Other possible causes for the pain experienced in the appendicitis syndrome are considered and explanations commonly given for the causes of this pain are reviewed. The potential for non-surgical therapy is explored." "The book concludes with a review of the surgical treatment of pathological processes in the appendix, thus bringing together in one text both the pathology of the appendix and its treatment."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Presenting Medical Statistics from Proposal to Publication written by Janet L. Peacock and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-21 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As many medical and healthcare researchers have a love-hate relationship with statistics, the second edition of this practical reference book may make all the difference. Using practical examples, mainly from the authors' own research, the book explains how to make sense of statistics, turn statistical computer output into coherent information, and help decide which pieces of information to report and how to present them. The book takes you through all the stages of the research process, from the initial research proposal, through ethical approval and data analysis, to reporting on and publishing the findings. Helpful tips and information boxes, offer clear guidance throughout, including easily followed instructions on how to: -develop a quantitative research proposal for ethical/institutional approval or research funding -write up the statistical aspects of a paper for publication -choose and perform simple and more advanced statistical analyses -describe the statistical methods and present the results of an analysis. This new edition covers a wider range of statistical programs - SAS, STATA, R, and SPSS, and shows the commands needed to obtain the analyses and how to present it, whichever program you are using. Each specific example is annotated to indicate other scenarios that can be analysed using the same methods, allowing you to easily transpose the knowledge gained from the book to your own research. The principles of good presentation are also covered in detail, from translating relevant results into suitable extracts, through to randomised controlled trials, and how to present a meta-analysis. An added ingredient is the inclusion of code and datasets for all analyses shown in the book on our website (http://medical-statistics.info). Written by three experienced biostatisticians based in the UK and US, this is a step-by-step guide that will be invaluable to researchers and postgraduate students in medicine, those working in the professions allied to medicine, and statisticians in consultancy roles.
