Neurological Physiotherapy
A Problem-solving Approach
Susan Edwards
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 308
"Neurological Physiotherapy" aims to provide an improved understanding of problems commonly encountered by the therapist working with people with neurological disability. It describes aspects of posture and movement difficulties which may occur as a result of neurological damage and gives guidance to help the therapist to plan the appropriate treatment programme for each patient. Using a problem-solving approach the emphasis is on the identification of symptoms in relation to impairment and disability rather than on a detailed description of neurological conditions.
Evidence-based Health Care
How to Make Health Policy and Management Decisions
Muir Gray
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 480
This is a textbook on evidence based decision making for healthcare, medical and nurse managers. Recently the evidence based medicine movement has been one of the most important influences on medicine. It involves the basing of clinical decisions on the best available evidence from systematic research. This book explains how evidence based decision making can be applied to health policy and management decisions about groups of patients and populations, rather than decisions about the treatment of individuals. Its first edition was well reviewed and highly successful, and this new edition builds upon the success of the first.

,
David Rowbotham
e altri
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 844
This is a new edition of a very successful textbook aimed at residents taking the Fellowship examination of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and/or similar type exams.

The new edition should consolidate the book's position as the dominant text for Part 1 of the FRCA. It is also highly suitable for exams such as the Diploma of Anaesthesiology of the European Academy of Aneaesthesiology.
Understanding the Placebo Effect in Complementary Medicine
Theory, Practice and Research
David Peters
editore: Churchill Livingstone

The placebo elicits more passionate debate, scepticism and personal belief than almost any other aspect of medicine. As, yet there are no concrete answers - but many challenging observations and powerful effects occur daily in healthcare which need to be examined. This book will stimulate and inform every reader from the experienced practitioner to the new student who has ever asked, what is the placebo really, and why should it matter to me? Written in an accessible and engaging style with contributions from leading figures in healthcare, it tackles issues of the placebo effect in complementary medicine.

Travel Medicine
Colour Guide
Eric Walker
,
Fiona Raeside
e altri
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 104
This is a highly illustrated guide to an increasingly important area of health care. GPs and Practice Nurses are frequently called upon to give medical advice to people taking holidays in places which until very recently were only visited by explorers or serious mountaineers, while travel to countries where malaria is endemic is now common. Travellers frequently return with exotic rashes, etc, which are highly suitable for illustration in colour. All the important areas of the subject are covered, including advice to travellers on immunisation, malaria, assessing fitness to travel, illness while travelling and problems after return. There is at present no widely available short guide to travel medicine which is illustrated in colour and is suitable for a wide range of health professionals - this Colour Guide fills that gap.

The Art of Palpatory Diagnosis in Oriental Medicine
Skya Gardner-Abbate
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 364
This book provides a step-by-step introduction and practical guide to palpation as a method of assessment, diagnosis and treatment within the context of Oriental medicine, and in particular Japanese acupuncture practice. Leading the reader through the how and what of touch, around the abdomen (or hara) and other key areas of the body, the author also explores key acupuncture points for clearing these areas, as well as Japanese needle techniques. The aim of the book is to allow the reader to have a more vivid and sensitive feel for what lies below acupuncture meridians and points, and to be able to assess and treat a very wide variety of clinical conditions with an understanding of the individual patient - successfully.
Radiotherapy Physics and Equipment
Andy Williams , Samantha Morris
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 192
This book provides a comprehensive and current review of selected radiotherapy treatment units. Not only will it be invaluable to undergraduates but also to qualified staff who have not had the opportunity to study the academic principles behind the dramatic advances in radiotherapy equipment in recent years. Each chapter contains the basic physical principles associated with each piece of equipment, building upon these ideas to examine the structure, function and applications of the machine in question. Critical evaluation of each piece of equipment is included to allow the undergraduate student to begin to develop such skills, and learning points incorporated through each chapter encourage the student to apply this fundamental learning to their own specific and unique clinical environment.
Evidence Based Coronary Care
Mark Connaughton
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 216
All junior doctors and in particular trainee cardiologists will at some point in their training be involved in managing acute coronary syndromes and other cardiac emergencies. This handbook sets out the recognized clinical steps to take and backs them up with an analysis of the evidence supporting these decisions. "Evidence-Based Coronary Care" will provide junior doctors with the answers they seek when dealing with difficult clinical situations. Evidence-Based medicine is still very topical, and this book will adopt a similar style to James: Evidence-Based Obstetrics in setting out the clinical management plan on the verso page and the evidence supporting that plan on the recto page.
Therapeutic Touch
Theory and Practice
Jean Sayre-Adams , Stephen G. Wright
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 172
"Therapeutic Touch" involves a variety of specific processes intended to help and heal. It is more than the comforting touch of patients; it is a set of interactions that all healthcare practitioners can incorporate into their everyday practice, and which can be as rewarding to the practitioner as they are healing for the client.

Clinical Applications of Neuromuscular Techniques
Judith Delany , Leon Chaitow
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 496
This long awaited text is the first of two volumes which presents the theories, validation and techniques of manual treatment for both chronic and acute neuromuscular pain and somatic dysfunction. Unlike many other texts, the theory and practice are described within the context of the normal anatomy and physiology of the related structures. The book takes a regional approach to treatment, giving a structural review of each area, including ligaments and functional anatomy. It then examines each muscle and joint in that region, giving step-by-step protocols for each muscle to be treated, using a variety of neuromuscularapproaches. Particular reference is made to the treatment of trigger points. Each joint and muscle has the same sequence of headings making it easy for the reader to dip into what they need to review. Numerous two colour illustrations also appear throughout, making the anatomy and techniques described easier to follow. The two authors have drawn together and integrated information that currently has to be accessed from several sources.
The result is a text which will do much to ensure the safe and effective application of soft tissue techniques and which will provide an invaluable source of reference to all manual therapy students and practitioners.
