Abstract:

Head injury or traumatic brain injury is a ubiquitous phenomenon in all societies and affects up to 2 per cent of the population per year (Bullock et al. 2006). Although the causes of head injury and its distribution within populations vary, it can have devastating consequences both for the patient and family (Tagliaferri et al. 2006). In some countries severe traumatic brain injury is the commonest cause of death in people under 40 years (Lee et al. 2006), and it is estimated that the sequelae of head injury cost societies billions of dollars per year.

Abstract:

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) accounts for the majority of traumatic deaths and most disability due to trauma in people aged less than 40 years old. Current trends suggest this burden of disease will increase dramatically over the next 20 years. Successful management of patients after traumatic brain injury requires recognition of patients at risk of deterioration, appropriate investigation, including imaging, and prevention of systemic and intracranial secondary injury processes. Unlike trauma affecting other body systems, outcome from TBI has not improved in the last 10–15 years. Assessment o

Abstract:

Over the last decade, cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) has been recognized as a frequent adverse event following cardiac surgery. In this clinical context and others, AKI has been strongly associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and length of hospitalization. These adverse events that accompany AKI have been shown to be directly proportional to the magnitude of the peak rise in serum creatinine and the duration of AKI making AKI a costly complication and a target for prevention in hospitalized patients around the world.

Abstract:

This chapter explores how service members with injuries that damage sexual and reproductive functioning may experience the psychosocial implications of impaired fertility. It addresses a general overview of infertility and then describes the experience within the military context. Infertility can be an invisible, secondary wound that is not felt until one considers procreation and that may last for many years. Further, infertility is an injury that affects not only the service member but also his or her partner. Many ethical considerations and barriers, including limited insurance coverage and

Abstract:

This chapter develops the links between coping and painful emotions in prison, by looking at self-injury practices as one particularly problematic form of coping that is both common among women prisoners, and increasingly more prominent in English prisons overall. This last substantive chapter of the book uses self-injury as a case study through which to explore an application of the book’s main arguments, findings, and implications, examining the participants’ explanations of why they self-injured during and after custody. In doing so, it advocates for an embodied perspective to the study of

Abstract:

Of all the major urological injuries, injury to the kidney is the most common. Indeed it is the most commonly injured intra-abdominal organ. Blunt or penetrating external injury is almost always the cause. The diagnosis and treatment of renal trauma has changed dramatically in the last 30 years or so reflecting the development of CT scanning for diagnosis and of endovascular interventional radiological techniques for treatment, at the expense of intravenous urography and surgery, respectively. Complications can be divided into early and late. The commonest early complications are bleeding and

Abstract:

Physical activity plays a significant role in the well-being of a child. Long-term health benefits depend on continuation of physical activity, which enhances well-being and favours balanced development. Injuries can counter the beneficial effects of sports participation, especially if a child is unable to continue participating because of any residual effects of injury. Prevention of sports injuries has been largely implemented in the last few years. This chapter reviews common lower limb injuries in children with an emphasis on injury management.

Abstract:

Investigators who study RNA, proteins, or metabolites use analytic platforms that simultaneously measure changes in the relative abundance of thousands of molecules in a single biological sample. Over the last decade, the application of these high-throughput, genome-wide platforms to study critical illness and injury has generated huge quantities of data that require specialized computational skills for analysis. These investigations hold promise for improving our understanding of the host response, thereby transforming the practice of intensive care. This chapter summarizes recent technologic

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on myocardial remodelling, a process that affects the heart’s shape, structure, and function, following myocardial injury (MI). Post-MI remodelling can be divided into three phases, with the first phase 0–72 hours beginning at the time of ischaemic injury, the second phase 72 hours to 6 weeks, and the third and last phase 6 weeks and beyond. During post-infarction remodelling, hypertrophy is an adaptive response that compensates for the increased load, reduces the effect of progressive dilatation, and balances contractile function.

Abstract:

Hypercapnia is a central component of current ‘protective’ ventilator management. Hypercapnia, and the associated acidosis, has potentially important biologic effects on immune responses, injury and repair. Arterial carbon dioxide tension PaCO2 is tightly governed under physiological conditions and small elevations rapidly increase spontaneous minute ventilation. In the mechanically-ventilated patient, elevated PaCO2 usually reflects reduced elimination. This can be because tidal volume or respiratory rate delivered by the ventilator are reduced, or because of the diseased lung per se. Hyperca

Abstract:

Over the last two decades, the exponential use of CT in the assessment of the urological patient has been fuelled by the advent of multidetector thin slice CT and supersession of intravenous urography by CT urography. The latter may be considered as a one-stop imaging investigation for haematuria, with increased detection of urinary tract cancers and urolithiasis alike. Multi-planar reformats are made possible with the use of thin slices, allowing clear delineation of other pathologies such as urinary tract injury, and can aid PCNL planning. Outside of this spectrum, unenhanced CT of the kidne

Abstract:

This new book volume, simply titled Neurotrauma, aims to bring together the latest clinical practice and research in the field of two forms of trauma to the central nervous system: namely, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI). Nationally, more 1.9 million Americans sustain a TBI annually. In parallel, there are an estimated 12,000 new cases of SCI in the United States annually. In addition, approximately 1.2 million people live with paralysis due to SCI. In recent years, dramatic advancements in the field have resulted in much improved outcomes for patients and higher stan

Abstract:

Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity is of considerable concern, as it may compromise the clinical effectiveness of treatment, affecting both quality of life and overall survival in cancer patients, independently of the oncological prognosis. It is probable that anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity is a unique and continuous phenomenon starting with myocardial cell injury, followed by progressive left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decline that, if disregarded and not treated progressively leads to overt heart failure. The main strategy for minimizing anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity

In the last few years, major advances have been achieved in the understanding of the molecular and pathophysiological mechanisms which underlie the complex interactions between the heart and the kidney, as well as between the heart and the liver. According to these new insights, new biomarkers have been proposed for better evaluating and monitoring patients affected by cardiovascular diseases. In addition, some biomarkers should be used as risk factors and for an early identification and treatment of these severe diseases.

Abstract:

Immunization is regarded by many as one of the greatest advances in modern civilization. The widespread use of vaccines has led to increases in life expectancy, reductions in the occurrence of childhood diseases, and is generally credited with saving millions of lives annually. But since their discovery two centuries ago, vaccines have been dogged by pockets of persistent distrust among those who are skeptical of their science or who find compulsory immunization at odds with personal liberty. The rise of these voices in contemporary culture has contributed to trends of vaccine delay and vaccin

Chapter 1 proposes that this ancient medical symbol reveals medicine’s vexing ethical problem, iatrogenic harm—wounds caused by a physician. Such wounds take three forms: wounds ineliminable from therapy (e.g., cauterizing), harmful errors committed while caregiving (e.g., wrong drug dose), and, last of all, but most ethically problematic, wounds of role-conflation, such as euthanizing a patient or assisting suicide (at the patient’s request).

Kentucky distillers have produced bourbon and rye whiskeys for more than two centuries. Part I of this book examines the complexities associated with nineteenth-century distilling’s evolution from an artisanal craft practiced by farmers and millers to a large-scale mechanized industry that adopted increasingly refined production techniques. The change from waterpower to steam engines permitted the relocation of distilleries away from traditional sites along creeks or at large springs. Commercial-scale distilling was accompanied by increasing government taxes and oversight controls. Mechanized
