Abstract:

Point-of-Care Ultrasound for Emergency Medicine and Resuscitation (Oxford Clinical Imaging Guides) focuses on the day-to-day utility of point-of-care ultrasound in emergency medicine. The book explains how clinicians can safely and accurately use ultrasound for the diagnosis and management of shock, acute presentations, and phases of key conditions. The book begins with a summary of cardiac ultrasound before continuing through the chest, moving down to the abdomen, and finally considers the major vessels and soft tissues. Paediatric and pre-hospital ultrasound, as well as practical procedures, are also addressed. Each chapter begins at a basic level and moves on to higher-level skills. The book is highly illustrated with annotated diagrams showing structures and explaining how to interpret findings. The text is written in a user-friendly fashion with short paragraphs and headings. Technical terminology is explained throughout. A short section in each chapter outlines ‘core’ and ‘advanced’ applications. Each chapter has a clear ‘how to scan’ summary. The book reflects the content and skills included in current curricula for ultrasound use in national and international emergency medicine.

Abstract:

This chapter acts as an introduction to Chapters 10–16 and highlights the uses of plain radiography, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, computed tomography, positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, radionuclide studies, and image-guided intervention. All imaging studies work best if a specific question is asked. This helps to choose both the best modality and protocol to answer the question. The clinical information given will often assist the interpretation of the findings. The more vague the indication for a scan, the less likely that useful information will be provided. Both the requesting clinician and the radiologist need to be clear how the scan result will alter management. Performing imaging procedures that will not alter the outcome is wasteful and unkind to the patient.

Abstract:

Routine pregnancy screening (e.g. ultrasound scan) may lead unexpectedly to the identification of an underlying renal problem whose aetiology may not be apparent immediately. It is important to recognize genetic causes so that associated problems in other organs can be anticipated and the recurrence risk for future pregnancies established. Specific diagnosis at a cytogenetic or molecular level may be essential if the options of early prenatal diagnosis or pre-implantation genetic diagnosis are to be available to the couple in future pregnancies. This chapter discusses the topics of antenatal screening, prenatal diagnosis (including invasive and non-invasive diagnosis and counselling) and intervention, and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis.

Abstract:

While thyroid cancer incidence has globally increased over the last few decades, mortality has been steadily declining. This is essentially due to increased diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer, due to the widespread use of ultrasound scan. Thyroid cancer is one of the few neoplasms more common in women than in men. Familial and genetic factors account for 5% to 15% of papillary or follicular neoplasms, and the association is even stronger for medullary carcinomas. Thyroid cancer risk is strongly related to benign thyroid diseases, particularly nodules and adenomas and goiter. The other major recognized risk factor is ionizing radiation, in particular iodine 131. Aspects of diet related to thyroid cancer risk include iodine deficiency—particularly for follicular thyroid cancer. However, fish and cruciferous vegetables are not consistently related to thyroid cancer risk. Tobacco and alcohol do not materially influence thyroid cancer risk, whereas overweight/obesity and adult height might increase risk.

Abstract:

Radial scars are benign lesions of the breast characterized pathologically by a fibroelastic core containing entrapped ducts and lobules that radiate outwards in a stellate pattern. This chapter, highlighting radial scar as a cause of architectural distortion, reviews its imaging features and differential diagnosis on mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis, ultrasound, and MRI; its diagnostic workup using multiple modalities; and its histological confirmation with image-guided core needle biopsy. The particular challenge of radial scar presenting as architectural distortion seen only with tomosynthesis is discussed, along with an algorithm for imaging evaluation and biopsy guidance in this setting. As radial scar, which is histologically related to complex sclerosing lesion and radial sclerosing lesion, is considered a high-risk lesion, management recommendations are also reviewed.

Abstract:

Cystic echinococcosis (CE)\cystic hydatid disease is one of the most widespread and important global helminth zoonoses. The parasite Echinococcus granulosus is maintained in a wide spectrum of intermediate hosts, including sheep, goats, camels, cattle, pigs and equines. A number of wild intermediate hosts occur, including cervids in the northern part of the North American continent and Eurasia, marsupials in Australia and wild herbivores in East and southern Africa. The application of a range of molecular techniques to the characterization of the parasite has confirmed the existence of mostly host-adapted strains and genotypes of the parasite and several new species have been proposed. The ubiquitous domestic dog serves as the most important definitive host for the transmission of the parasite throughout its wide geographical range.A wide range of diagnostic techniques, including necropsy, arecoline purgation, coproantigen ELISA and DNA based tests are available for detecting E. granulosus infection in the definitive host. In intermediate animal hosts, diagnosis at post mortem still remains the most reliable option. In humans, imaging techniques including ultrasound, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) or computer aided tomography (CAT-scan provide not only a method of diagnosis but also reveal important clinical information on the location, condition, number and size of the hydatid cysts in man. Of these ultrasound is the most widely used diagnostic technique and is the only imaging technique for screening of populations in rural areas, where the disease is most common. A classification system has been developed which can be used to assess the likely development of a cyst and hence guide the clinician in treatment options for the patient. Treatment relies on surgery and/or percutaneous interventions, especially ‘Puncture, Aspiration, Injection, Re-aspiration’ (PAIR) and/or antiparasitic treatment with albendazole (and alternatively mebendazole).CE is largely a preventable disease. Successful elimination programmes have focused on frequent periodic treatments of dogs with anthelmintics and the control of slaughter of domestic livestock. In many regions elimination or even control remains a problem as the parasite is endemic over vast areas of low income countries where there may be limited resources for control. In some areas, such as former communist administered countries, the parasite is resurgent. New tools are becoming available to control the parasite, including a highly effective vaccine in sheep which prevents the infection in sheep and breaks the transmission cycle. In addition cost effective methods are being developed which may be appropriate in low income countries where financial resources are not available for intensive control programmes that have been successful in high income countries.

Abstract:

‘Multiple Choice Questions in Musculoskeletal, Sport & Exercise Medicine’ is a compilation of 400 multiple choice questions (MCQs), where the format is that of single best answer from a choice of five options. The book closely follows the curriculum of the ‘Membership of Faculty of Sport & Exercise Medicine’ (MFSEM) examination, with some questions being clinically oriented and others being knowledge based. This book is not intended to be a substitute for extensive clinical reading but instead to complement the learning process. Questions in this book have been carefully curated by 92 reputable subject matter experts across ten countries and are intended to provide a structured learning experience. The book is comprised of 46 chapters, where the first 23 ask questions and the next 23 provide answers. The answer to each question has a short explanation with a reference, which is intended to stimulate discussion, research and further learning. There is a total of 33 high quality images (MRI scans, plain radiographs, ECGs, ultrasound scans and photographs), 18 tables and 5 diagrams in the book.

Abstract:

One in three women will present with problems, usually bleeding and/or pain, in early pregnancy prior to their planned maternity booking appointment at the end of the first trimester. The mainstay of investigation is pelvic ultrasonography. However, often the diagnosis is not clear and further ultrasound scans or repeated measurements of serum human chorionic gonadotropin concentrations are required. Most women with bleeding in early pregnancy will have an ongoing pregnancy and can be reassured. However, around 15% of pregnancies will miscarry in the first trimester. Management of miscarriage is often conservative but there are both surgical and medical, using misoprostol, management options. Importantly, approximately 1 in 80 pregnancies are ectopic pregnancies. These can be difficult to diagnose and are associated with increased maternal morbidity and mortality. Management is usually by laparoscopic salpingectomy or systemic methotrexate administration. As ectopic pregnancy can present to disparate medical practitioners it is important to have an awareness and suspicion of this condition as well as considering the possibility of pregnancy in all women of reproductive age.

Abstract:

General anaesthesia (GA) is most often indicated for category 1 (immediate threat to life of mother or baby) caesarean delivery (CD) or when neuraxial anaesthesia has failed or is contraindicated. Secure intravenous access is essential. Jugular venous cannulation (with ultrasound guidance) is required if peripheral access is inadequate. A World Health Organization surgical safety checklist must be used. The shoulders and upper back should be ramped. Left lateral table tilt or other means of uterine displacement are essential to minimize aortocaval compression, and a head-up position is recommended to improve the efficiency of preoxygenation and reduce the likelihood of gastric contents reaching the oropharynx. Cricoid pressure is controversial. In the United Kingdom, thiopental remains the induction agent of choice, although there is scant evidence upon which to avoid propofol. In pre-eclampsia, it is essential to obtund the pressor response to laryngoscopy with remifentanil or alfentanil. Rocuronium is an acceptable alternative to succinylcholine for neuromuscular blockade. Sugammadex offers the possibility of swifter reversal of rocuronium than spontaneous recovery from succinylcholine. Management of difficult tracheal intubation is focused on ‘oxygenation without aspiration’ and prevention of airway trauma. The Classic™ laryngeal mask airway is the most commonly used rescue airway in the United Kingdom. There is a large set of data from fasted women of low body mass index who have undergone elective CD safely with a Proseal™ or Supreme™ laryngeal mask airway. Sevoflurane is the most popular volatile agent for maintenance of GA. The role of electroencephalography-based depth of anaesthesia monitors at CD remains to be established. Intraoperative end-tidal carbon dioxide tension should be maintained below 4.0 kPa.
