Book Synopsis Venous Thromboembolism in Advanced Disease by : Simon I R Noble
Download or read book Venous Thromboembolism in Advanced Disease written by Simon I R Noble and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is increasing recognition of the burden of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with advanced incurable disease and the clinical, ethical, and philosophical challenges they may pose. With a growing elderly population and oncological therapies helping patients live longer with malignant disease, VTE is likely to be an ongoing problem. Whilst presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of VTE in general medicine is well established, its management within the palliative care setting is less clear-cut. Clinical presentation is often masked by other palliative symptoms, and symptoms can be consistent with those of other conditions; diagnosis is therefore underappreciated, and the condition can be difficult to manage. Bringing together contributions from international experts in the field of VTE and palliative care, this book explores the increasing challenges faced by healthcare professionals when managing VTE in advanced disease. Topics such as the epidemiology and pathogenesis of the condition are discussed. It appraises the current evidence informing the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of VTE, with particular emphasis on its application to patients with incurable malignancy and non-malignant disease. Chapters are illustrated with key learning points and, where appropriate, case studies are presented to illustrate the decision-making processes that may occur when balancing the evidence with its impact on patient quality of life. This practical resource is invaluable for healthcare professionals working in all areas of medicine where patients with advanced cancer and non-malignant disease are cared for.

Papakotoulas, I. BoukovinasHellenic Society of Medical Oncology (HeSMO, http://www.hesmo.gr/en), Athens, GRBackgroundVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common cause of adverse outcomes in oncology. The risk of VTE varies with cancer type, stage, grade, therapy and other patientsu2019 characteristics.VTE prophylaxis should be provided to hospitalized cancer patients and highu2010risk outpatients according to Khorana score. Lowu2010molecularu2010weight heparin (LMWH) remains the standard therapy for VTE in cancer patients.MethodsThis is an observational study conducted by the Hellenic Society of Medical Oncology (HeSMO) that aims to record and highlight the current clinical practice and management of VTE in Greek cancer patients.ResultsThe 18 centers reported approximately 4300 cancer patients managed on monthly basis, where the vast majority (80%) in outpatient setting. 340 patients with active cancer enrolled in this study: 53,2% males, mean age 64,3 years, PS 0u20101:62,1%, tumor types lung:22,3%, pancreas:16,3%, colon:13,6%, breast:11%, stomach:8,3%, ovarian:6,5% and other:21,7%. Moreover, 95,3% received treatment while 21,3% were inpatients and 78,6% outpatients. Among 340 patients, 254 had no VTE and 56,8% had PS 0-1. In the cohort of 254 patients, 72,8% were outpatients, 77,5% had metastatic disease and 95,7% were on treatment. Regarding cancer types 66,5% had high thrombotic risk cancers (23,2% lung, 18% pancreatic, 10,4% colon and 8% stomach). Interestingly, the Khorana mean risk in this population was 2 and all patients received prophylactic antithrombotic treatment with LMWH.ConclusionsGreek Oncologists are aware of cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT), especially in high thrombotic risk cancer types and advanced disease stages. Of interest, the majority of patients who received thomboprophylaxis had good PS and the Khorana mean risk score was 2.Key words: Venous ThromboEmbolism (VTE), Cancer-Associated Thrombosis (CAT), Khorana score, Thromboprophylaxis, Lowu2010molecularu2010weight heparin (LMWH).

Book Synopsis Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism by : Michael Hume
Download or read book Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism written by Michael Hume and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1970 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, representing the combined efforts of a surgeon, a pathologist, and an internist, is the first comprehensive survey of the subject in many years. Interpreting anatomic, experimental, and clinical data the authors present the subject as a single disease--venous thromboembolism--with pulmonary embolism as its most important complication. Incidence, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management have been dealt with throughout in a way that will acquaint the student with the fundamentals of the disease, the practitioner with current laboratory progress, and the research scientist with the most compelling unsolved problems in clinical management. A significant and lucidly written study, the monograph is thoroughly referenced and illustrated and includes a bibliography at the end of each chapter.
Book Synopsis Textbook of Catheter-Based Cardiovascular Interventions by : Peter Lanzer
Download or read book Textbook of Catheter-Based Cardiovascular Interventions written by Peter Lanzer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 1887 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a fully updated and revised second edition of a highly successful text in which a new concept of knowledge mining, based on explication and transfer of interventional knowledge of experts, has been implemented. The dedicated training program that is set out will serve the needs of all interventional operators, whether cardiologists, vascular surgeons, vascular specialists, or radiologists, enabling them to achieve a consistent expert level across the entire broad spectrum of catheter-based interventions. Operator skills – and in particular decision-making and strategic skills – are the most critical factors for the outcome of catheter-based cardiovascular interventions. Currently, such skills are commonly developed by the empirical trial and error method only. The explicit teaching, training, and learning approach adopted in this book permits the rapid transfer of interventional knowledge and enables individual operators to negotiate steep learning curves and acquire complex skills in a highly efficient manner. It will thereby offer invaluable assistance in meeting successfully the challenges of modern cardiovascular care.
