Synopsis La Obesidad MÓRbida by : Eduardo Chapunoff

Continuando el estilo de sus previos libros, "El Sexo y el Paciente Cardiaco", "Contestando sus Preguntas sobre Padecimientos Cardiacos y el Sexo", y "CÓmo Evitar el Caerse Muerto: Una GuÍa para la PrevenciÓn de 201 Causas de Muerte SÚbita o RÁpida", el Dr. Eduardo Chapunoff nos sumerge ahora en el mundo complejo de las personas que sufren de obesidad mÓrbida. Esta obra describe cÓmo y por quÉ el sistema cardiovascular y otros sistemas del cuerpo humano llegan a afectarse por pesos corporales excesivos. Sus propias ilustraciones, simples y esquemÁticas, lo ayudarÁn a comprender cÓmo la obesidad mÓrbida causa infartos de miocardio, insuficiencia cardiaca, accidentes cerebro-vasculares, apnea obstructiva del sueÑo, y muchas otras condiciones, incluyendo la muerte sÚbita. Decisiones crÍticas son facilitadas por las explicaciones prÁcticas y realistas del Dr. Chapunoff. TambiÉn discute la inefectividad y el injusto enfoque de ciertas compaÑÍas de seguros en la cobertura de los gastos que incurre la cirugÍa bariatrÍca o cirugÍa de obesidad. Muchas personas que leerÁn este libro adquirirÁn un entendimiento de esta enfermedad muy distinto del que poseen en la actualidad. El Dr. Eduardo Chapunoff es un diplomado de los Boards Norteamericanos de Medicina Interna y de Enfermedad Cardiovascular, un "fellow" del American College of Physicians y un "fellow" del American College of Cardiology.

Synopsis Bariatric Endoscopy by : Christopher C. Thompson

To date, diet programs and medical therapies for the treatment of obesity have had limited success. Bariatric surgery, however, provides a means of effective weight loss for many of those with morbid obesity. Most of these weight loss procedures are performed with a variety of techniques that continue to evolve. Each technique is associated with unique challenges and complications and it is important for the clinician to be knowledgeable about the endoscopic management of these patients. Additionally, as endoscopic technology evolves it may offer more than just the diagnosis and treatment of complications. Endoscopic therapy may soon allow less invasive bariatric revision procedures as well as a variety of primary obesity therapies for various patient populations. Bariatric Endoscopy reviews the management of obesity, normal post-surgical anatomy, endoscopic and medical management of post-surgical complications, and future endoscopic therapies for obesity management. Organized into five sections, the volume covers an obesity overview, traditional therapy, endoscopy and the bariatric patient, medical management of post-surgical complications, and the future role of endoscopy in obesity management. Detailed illustrations are also provided for surgical procedures, complications and obesity management chapters. Authored by authorities in the field, Bariatric Endoscopy is an indispensible tool for the gastroenterologist or surgical endoscopist as they care for patients with complicated bariatric issues.

Synopsis New Concepts on Abdominoplasty and Further Applications by : Juarez M. Avelar

This book documents the important advances that have been achieved in abdominoplasty over the past 15 years, in particular through the introduction of a nontraumatic approach associated with minimal morbidity owing to the avoidance of resection of abdominal panniculus and damage to the perforating vessels. The surgical principles of this procedure, including in combination with liposuction, are fully described by its developer, Juarez Avelar, with the aid of a wealth of color illustrations. A miniabdominoplasty option is also discussed and recent significant technical contributions such as various new plication techniques and means of minimizing complications are clearly presented. In addition, a series of chapters explain how the surgical principles underlying the described nontraumatic method of abdominoplasty can now be applied to other areas of the body, for example to improve rhytidoplasty, ear reconstruction, body contouring, and medial thigh lifting. This book enables the plastic surgeon to apply the latest abdominoplasty techniques effectively and safely.

Synopsis Noninvasive Ventilation Technologies and Healthcare for Geriatric Patients by : Fonseca, César

In the past, elderly patients were given artificial airway technologies, such as a tracheostomy tube, to assist with their breathing. However, thanks to the advances in medical technologies, older patients now may receive respiratory care while enjoying the comfort of their own home. Noninvasive Ventilation Technologies and Healthcare for Geriatric Patients is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the models and processes of care for elderly subjects that require noninvasive ventilation as well as the development of technological solutions. While highlighting topics such as elderly care, respiratory failure, and home care, this publication explores healthcare management as well as the methods of professional homecare medical services. This book is ideally designed for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, senior health technicians, hospital administrators, clinical directors, laboratories, medical practitioners, nurses, and medical students.

Synopsis Liposuction by : Melvin A. Shiffman

This superbly illustrated book covers all aspects of liposuction: anatomy, pathology, biochemistry, preoperative care, equipment, the full range of procedures, complications, postoperative care, outcomes, lipedema, and medical legal aspects. Compared with the successful first edition, the text has been extensively updated and many additional chapters included, with particular attention to recently introduced techniques. While new technology helps to improve results, experience, care, and skill on the part of the cosmetic surgeon are essential if optimal results satisfactory to the patient are to be achieved. The contributors to this book have expended much time and effort to present the cosmetic and plastic surgeon with as much information as possible on the techniques and uses of liposuction for the purposes of cosmetic and non-cosmetic surgery. Liposuction: Principles and Practice will be of value for residents and fellows and for practicing and highly experienced surgeons in plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery, general surgery, and other subspecialties.
