Abstract:

This chapter discusses the three most widely used remuneration systems for general practitioners (GPs): fee-for-service, capitation, and salary. Each system has its pros and cons, so in practice some sort of blended system would often be chosen. A concern with the fee-for-service system is that it might make doctors provide too many services, that is, supplier-induced demand. Capitation breaks the link between payment and amount of services provided by giving the GP a fixed fee for each patient registered on the list. This system may lead GPs to selectively attract healthy patients and make un

Abstract:

Inherited epidermolysis bullosa comprises a group of rare, serious conditions affecting multiple organ systems. While generally referred to as a dermatologic condition, any organ with an epithelial surface is affected, leading to serious extracutaneous manifestations. These have wide-ranging implications for anesthetic management, including airway management, vascular access, skin protection, and effective pain control. A successful and safe patient experience requires thoughtful evaluation, communication with a multidisciplinary team, anesthetic planning, intraoperative management, and postop

Numerous challenges confront correctional health staff in serving the needs of incarcerated adults and juveniles. Effective screening, timely referral, and appropriate treatment are critical.

Abstract:

This chapter provides an overview of the healthcare delivery system. A figure illustrates how six different parts of the system relate to each other. The primary care level plays a key role in many countries by representing the gate, in which referrals to secondary care are being made. Tertiary care is principally of two types depending on patients’ prognosis: chronic care or rehabilitation. In addition to the three care levels, there are two parts with quite different roles: pharmacies provide pharmaceuticals, and sickness benefit schemes compensate the sick for their income losses.

Abstract:

Computed tomography (CT) has increased in use exponentially for the assessment of patients with renal tract pathology. This has been promoted by the availability of multidetector thin-slice CT so that intravenous urography has been superseded by CT urography. The latter may be considered as a ‘one-stop’ imaging investigation for haematuria, with increased detection of both urinary tract cancers and urolithiasis. Multiplanar reformats are made possible with the use of thin slices, allowing clear delineation of other pathologies such as urinary tract injury. In the transplant recipient, protocol

Abstract:

Endophthalmitis refers to inflammation of both the anterior and posterior intraocular chambers and their structures. This vision-threatening condition occurs in three principal scenarios: penetrating ocular trauma, after intraocular surgery, and in systemically infected (often immunocompromised) patients. Endophthalmitis presents with marked intraocular inflammation, often with hypopyon. Patients report pain and significant vision loss out of proportion to typical post-operative complaints. It is distinguished from uveitis by both history and slit lamp examination. Endophthalmitis is an ophtha

Abstract:

With respect to palliative medicine, malignant diseases can be considered in three broad groups: haemopoietic malignancies, central nervous system tumours, and other solid tumours. The likelihood of needing referral for specialist palliative medicine is influenced by prognosis, as well as by incidence, and therefore change as outcomes improve. This chapter includes an easy-to-assimilate list of the commonest symptoms experienced by children with cancer, broken down by incidence.

Abstract:

A standard computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy, aspiration, injection, or drainage procedure typically requires a direct line of access from the skin to the target lesion or collection. Safe performance of these procedures is ideally done without violation of vascular structures or solid or hollow viscous. When a direct pathway to the target is absent, patients are commonly denied the procedure and instead referred to surgery. This chapter describes a solution for CT-guided procedures when a direct line of access to the intended target is unavailable. The technique involves a coaxial needle

Appropriate nutrition must be tailored to the specific needs of individual patients. Needs depend on the child’s baseline nutritional status, the severity of disease, and specific organ dysfunction. Enteral nutrition is preferable whenever possible. Parenteral nutrition may be necessary when efforts to supply adequate nutrition enterally are contraindicated or unsuccessful.

The chapter distinguishes four funding sources which in sum will represent the total budget for possible healthcare expenditures: (1) patient payments (commonly referred to as ‘out-of-pocket’ payments); (2) private health insurance; (3) tax funding, including social insurance systems with payroll contributions; and (4) donations.

Periocular Infections occur when there is inflammation of the conjunctiva. Uncomplicated viral infections can usually be managed with careful hand hygiene and lubrication of the eye with artificial tears. More severe infections are notable for purulent discharge, membrane formation, and scarring, and can lead to corneal change. For suspected bacterial conjunctivitis, empiric therapy begins with broad spectrum antibiotic eye drops or ointment, which are supplemented with oral antibiotics in cases associated with pharyngitis and in children with H. influenzae infection.

Carcinomatous meningitis or meningeal carcinomatosis is a term that defines leptomeningeal metastases arising as a result of metastases from systemic solid cancers. Similarly, lymphomatous and leukaemic meningitis result from cerebrospinal fluid dissemination of lymphoma or leukaemia. All three entities are commonly referred to as neoplastic meningitis or leptomeningeal metastases due to involvement of both the cerebrospinal fluid compartment as well as the leptomeninges comprised of the pia and arachnoid.

Four to five per cent of the Western population suffers from chronic diarrhoea (defined as the passage of >3 stools per day, for >4 weeks), with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) being the commonest cause in 20–40-year-old patients. It is the commonest reason for referral to secondary care gastroenterology clinics. The list of possible causes of chronic diarrhoea is long but, in the absence of rectal bleeding, loss of weight, or abnormal blood tests, it is unlikely to be due to a serious illness.

The range of metabolic disturbances is wide, as is the resultant range of clinical syndromes. Although most occur in children, some can present in adult life, and increasing numbers of affected children survive into adult life. In some, specific treatments are possible or are being developed.
