One in 70 children are admitted to paediatric intensive care (PIC) at some time during childhood. Most paediatric junior doctors will rotate through PIC, and will be involved in organising acute intensive care for critically ill children. The range of children and their illnesses going through PIC is vast, making it a hugely diverse specialty. A critically ill child will end up there regardless of their underlying disease, and as a result consultants in PIC must be true generalists and need to acquire knowledge and skills in all areas of paediatrics, as well as acquiring significant knowledge of anaesthesia and surgery. From setting up the ventilator, to managing low cardiac output, Paediatric Intensive Care gives practical and realistic advice for children's doctors and nurses in intensive care. Information is presented in easily-accessible '5 minute chunks' to enable you to quickly get the answers you need, with extensive cross-referencing ensuring that different aspects of a particular clinical problem are fully covered. With detailed answers to specific problems and expert guidance on how to manage the complex issues faced in PIC, this handbook is an indispensible guide for all those who provide care to sick children.

Il pediatra è il naturale riferimento per i genitori alla ricerca di informazioni aggiornate e scientificamente provate sull'impatto che l'inquinamento può avere sulla salute dei propri bambini. La seconda edizione di Inquinamento e salute dei bambini: cosa c'è da sapere, cosa c'è da fare, a cura del gruppo Pediatri per un Mondo Possibile dell'Acp, vuole fornire ai pediatri di famiglia, ai medici di medicina generale e agli specialisti un documentato e aggiornato strumento di formazione sul tema. Il problema dell'inquinamento è affrontato nelle sue varie declinazioni, da quello atmosferico a quello acustico, da quello dell'acqua a quello del cibo, dagli studi sulle radiazioni ultraviolette ed elettromagnetiche all'uso dei prodotti per l'igiene. Particolare attenzione è prestata alle conseguenze del cambiamento climatico. Il volume è chiuso da un capitolo sulla Percezione del rischio nell'era globale, indispensabile per decifrare correttamente i diversi atteggiamenti che vengono assunti nei confronti delle tematiche ambientali e di salute.

La dermatoscopia, originariamente impiegata per il miglior riconoscimento delle lesioni pigmentate della cute, con la esplicita finalità di identificare precocemente il melanoma, è oggi vantaggiosamente utilizzata per affinare le capacità diagnostiche in numerosi campi della dermatologia, dalle patologie infettive e parassitarie a quelle infiammatorie, tanto da essere diventata una procedura imprescindibile nella comune pratica quotidiana. Dal 2008 siamo impegnati a proporre al pediatra l'uso del dermatoscopio, credendo che esso possa divenire, così come in verità sta già accadendo, parte integrante del set di strumenti utili al "self help ambulatoriale".
