Abstract:

Up to one third of patients with epilepsy suffer from seizures that are refractory to medications. For these patients, many of whom are not surgical candidates, dietary therapies provide a promising alternative. The best known dietary therapy is the ketogenic diet, which was developed in the 1920s; newer variants of the ketogenic diet, such as the medium-chain triglyceride diet, modified Atkins diet, and low glycemic index treatment, afford excellent seizure control with fewer dietary restrictions. Together, dietary approaches offer drug-resistant patients hope for seizure reduction and an imp

Abstract:

Joint replacement is often considered the surgical treatment for patients with osteoarthritis (OA). However, several other surgical treatments, of which some are more frequently performed, have been advocated for patients with OA in order to relieve symptoms, stall progression, and avoid or postpone joint replacement. This chapter briefly describes the most common procedures such as knee and hip arthroscopy and knee and hip osteotomy. It also reviews the evidence for the efficacy of these treatments compared with non-surgical alternatives, which is frequently insufficient due to lack of contro

Abstract:

Over the past decade, there has been increasing interest in alternative methods of treatment for many diseases. Physicians have recognized the limitations in the conventional use of pharmaceuticals and surgical intervention. Integrative approaches to patient care combine evidence-based conventional care with the best of evidence-based alternative care. Neurologists, in particular, manage many patients who have difficult-to-treat symptoms and disorders and can greatly benefit from integrative medicine. Many neurologists in practice have been incorporating alternative means of treatment in conju

Abstract:

Nearly two-thirds of newly detected renal masses are clinical stage 1, with T1a tumours accounting for 60% of the newly detected stage 1 tumours. Guideline panels convened by the American Urological Association and the European Association of Urology recommend nephron-sparing surgery as the gold standard treatment for small renal masses, with active surveillance and thermal ablation recommended as alternative strategies in select patients. However, there is a dearth of studies directly comparing outcomes for energy-based ablation to those for traditional surgical treatments for small renal mas

Chapter 8d discusses carcinoma of the penis, which is typically a squamous carcinoma arising on the penile shaft or glands in an uncircumcised patient. Management may be by primary surgery, either total amputation or partial amputation with reconstruction, or primary radiotherapy. Primary radiotherapy is indicated for those patients with T1 and T2 tumours <4 cm in diameter, particularly in those unfit for surgery, those with locally advanced disease and fixed inguinal lymph nodes, and for patients in whom surgical treatment may require total amputation and where they choose to have organ pr

Abstract:

The diagnosis of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH)/abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS ) relies on accurate IAP measurement. The current gold standard for measurement is intermittently every 4–6 hours via the bladder. IAP monitoring should be performed in all critically-ill or injured patients exhibiting ≥1 risk factors for the development of IAH, and continued until risk factors are resolved and intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) has remained normal for 24–48 hours. IAH and ACS cause organ dysfunction through direct compression of the heart, compression of both arterial and venous perfusion of t

Hemophilia A, B, C, and Acquired Hemophilia A make up a rare group of bleeding disorders that can be challenging to manage in the perioperative setting. The management of hemophilia patients within the surgical setting can require additional planning and extensive health care resources. This chapter will provide a brief overview of the hemophilias, including the etiology and clinical characteristics of the hemophilias, relevant diagnostic methods and laboratory tests utilized in treating a patient with hemophilia, and the guidelines for drug therapy and factor replacement in the perioperative

The testis descends in response to androgen stimulation in the third trimester of pregnancy. Germ cell maturation which normally occurs in early childhood is impaired or absent in undescended testes. The well-documented phenomenon of secondary ascent is now thought to account for a sizeable proportion of boys undergoing orchidopexy in later childhood. Inguinal hernias and communicating hydroceles are caused by persistence of a patent processus vaginalis. Surgery is always indicated for inguinal hernias but the majority of communicating hydroceles resolve spontaneously. Testicular torsion accou

Abstract Cancer: A Very Short Introduction discusses the notion of cancer and how it affects people and the world as one of the biggest killers worldwide. It highlights that cancer is a problem that touches virtually everyone either directly or indirectly. Thus, cancer is a primary focus of many healthcare plans and government strategies. Paradoxically, with improving life expectancy, especially in low- and middle-income countries, cancer is becoming more common globally.

Abstract:

Post-amputation pain (PAP) has challenged clinicians for centuries. The first written record of this perplexing condition came from the 16th-century French military surgeon Ambrose Paré. The term phantom limb pain (PLP) was coined by Silas Weir Mitchell, who provided a comprehensive description of the condition during the 19th century. Since that time, the understanding of PLP has greatly expanded; however, our knowledge of the exact mechanisms underlying it is still very deficient. Amputation of a body part can result in one sequela or more than one neurologic sequelae occurring concurrently:

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common inflammatory complication and affects approximately 1 % of the global population. It affects three times more women than men. RA is an autoimmune disorder elicited by exposure of genetic factors from the host to unknown antigens causing arthritogenic complaints. It also includes the activation of lymphocytes as well as CD4+ helper T cells along with local release of chronic inflammatory mediators and cytokines like tumor necrosis factor (TNF α) and various cytokines like interleukins (IL) that enormously affect the joints.

Abstract:

Over the last three decades, avoidance of allogeneic transfusion in order to decrease adverse events within the recipient has become a part of clinical care. Although the main driver was an avoidance of transfusion-transmitted disease, other immunological consequences have been noted, and it is widely regarded as desirable to avoid the use of allogeneic component transfusion unless there is an essential physiological need. Of course this attempt at decreasing allogeneic blood component use has a potentially beneficial effect of blood component supply, leading to decreased use within the surgic

This groundbreaking book challenges the medicalized approach to women's experiences including menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause and suggests that there are better ways for women to cope with real issues they may face. Before any woman diets, douches, botoxes, reduces, reconstructs, or fills a prescription for antidepressants, statins, hormones, menstrual suppressants, or diet pills, she should read this book. Contesting common medical practice, the book addresses the many aspects of women's lives that have been targeted as "deficient" in order to support the billion-dollar profits of the
