Fibrinolytic and Antithrombotic Therapy: Theory, Practice, and Management
Fibrinolytic and Antithrombotic Therapy: Theory, Practice, and ManagementBy Richard C. Becker M.D., Frederick A. Spencer M.D.
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
Number Of Pages: 424
Publication Date: 2006-03-23
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0195155645
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780195155648
Product Description:
Thrombotic disorders of the circulatory system represent the leading cause of morbidity, motality, and health care expenditure in the United States. Fibrinolytic and Antithrombotic Therapy provides a practical, evidence-based approach to the management of thrombotic disorders for all clinicians involved in the care of patients with these disorders. It provides not only vital conceptual information on fibrinolytic and antithrombotic therapy, but also the means to apply it to everyday decision making and patient care. Focusing on managment guidelines and critical pathways, the text stresses practicality and usability. It will be a valuable resource for the wide range of clinicians involved in the care of patients with these disorders, including cardiologists, emergency physicians, primary care physicians, hematologists, neurologists, intensivists, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.
The origins of mammalian blood coagulation can be traced back over 400 million years. Despite its long history, it is only within the past century that this complex and pivotal teleologic system has begun to be understood. Most recently, the intricacies of hemostasis and pahtologic thrombosis have come to light, leading the way toward new, more effective, and safer treatment modalities.
The Second Edition of Fibrinolytic and Antithrombotic Therapy, even more concise and clinically relevant than the First, provides vital, evidence-based information on management of patients with arterial and venous thrombotic disorders. Since the First Edition, the text has been expanded to cover the evolving topics of atherothrombosis, thrombocardiology, hematologic/thrombophilic conditions, and vascular medicine. It includes up-to-date guidelines for antithrombotic and fibrinolytic therapy, and offers concise summaries of current "standards of care." Chapters are dedicated to discussions of patient-specific therapeutics and to the importance of genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics in defining genotype-phenotype relationships, while throughout the book coagulation, inflammation, and vascular medicine are newly examined as elements in an intricatley-linked triad of biochemical and cellular based phenomenology.

Critical Care Ultrasonography
Critical Care Ultrasonography* Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional
* Number Of Pages: 375
* Publication Date: 2009
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0071592970
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780071592970
As technology improves diagnosis and treatment, physicians are either “early adopters” or those who wait to see if a new approach is really better than the current standard. The “adopters” are challenged with becoming proficient in new skills, while those who resist need to be convinced that change is called for, and that it justifies the costs of time and money. Buying new equipment always provokes discussion of who pays for it, and what must be sacrificed. Finally, a new program may step on someone else’s turf. There are disputes about who is best qualified to use the technology, along with calculations of the financial impact on existing programs and the potential legal liability of using new methods. The introduction of ultrasonography into frontline critical care medicine is a case in point, and obstacles to its current wide use are similar to those that appeared with the introduction of other new technology that ultimately revolutionized the practice of pulmonary and critical care medicine. In the 1970s, flexible
bronchoscopy gave pulmonary and critical care physicians a tool to expand their diagnostic abilities beyond the history, physical examination, and the chest radiograph. They had to learn how to use the bronchoscope, find the money to buy the equipment, and overcome the objections of many otolaryngologists and thoracic surgeons who strongly believed that people from internal medicine backgrounds had no business endoscoping the airways, no less performing biopsies of the airway and lung parenchyma. Of course, this resolved over several years, and flexible bronchoscopy is now a core procedure of pulmonary and critical care medicine physicians.
