ISBN : 9789348117441

Publishing year : 2025

Description : Endocarditis is an inflammation of the lining of the heart and valves. It can be due to a non-infectious cause but when the inflammation is associated with an infection, usually bacterial, it is known as infective endocarditis. It is typically characterized by the development of a large septic thrombus on one of the cardiac valves. As this thrombus grows, it can lead to valve failure or may fragment forming a septic embolus that is associated with high mortality if the target of the embolus is the brain, heart or lung. This book reviews multi-organ complications associated with Infective endocarditis including significant recent advances in molecular mechanisms underlying thrombus formation on the cardiac valve, anti-microbial treatment and surgery.

Trauma and Emergency Surgery - Contemporary Approach

Author:  Erdal Güngör

$99

Code : MT0003

ISBN : 9788197930362

Publishing year : 2025

Description: How can we ensure the best outcomes for the trauma victim? The two most common causes of traumatic deaths and major sequelae are blood loss and neurological injuries, which account for two-thirds of trauma-related deaths. Hemorrhagic shock is an important cause of organ failure and late mortality, and 50% of early deaths (within the first 24 hours) due to trauma are due to bleeding. Regarding trauma resuscitation, significant changes have been achieved in the last three decades, resulting in substantial improvement in survival. However, blood loss is still the leading cause of death in the first 24 hours in hospital. Nowadays, optimal goals in resuscitation with fluids and blood products represent a hot debate. Permissive hypotension is increasingly recommended because high-volume fluid resuscitation may increase trauma-related bleeding, organ failure, and mortality. New agents such as tranexamic acid also offer life-saving opportunities. This book explores new advances in the struggle to save lives in trauma resuscitation.

Antidepressants have been around since the 1950s, and although current medications are much more effective than early ones, there is still much room for improvement. “Real” antidepressants, defined as those that “repair” or “improve” the depression-causing mechanism in the brains of depressed patients, have yet to be identified. This book presents current research on depression and antidepressants, including use of antidepressants in alcohol use disorders and pregnancy, treatment-resistant depression, and development of potential new medications.

We also highlight recent developments in the field including dyslipidemias characterized by nontraditional lipid biomarkers. Furthermore, we discuss the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and the role of dyslipidemia. Other chapters include the assessment of primary and secondary causes of dyslipidemia. Targets for treatment as well as the role of major therapeutic agents including statins and PCSK9 inhibitors are also discussed in light of the most recent guidelines by major international organizations. This is in addition to an overview of lifestyle and dietary modification as well as alternative options for dyslipidemia management. Furthermore, dyslipidemia in special populations is emphasized including various ethnic groups as well as those with HIV disease, chronic kidney disease, among others. The role of adiposity including brown fat together with highlights on lipidomics and dyslipidemias characterized by nontraditional lipid biomarkers is also highlighted.

Code : MG0006

ISBN : 9789348117564

Publishing year : 2025

Description: The genetics science is less than 150 years old, but its accomplishments have been astonishing. Genetics has become an indispensable component of almost all research in modern biology and medicine. Human genetic variation is associated with many, if not all, human diseases and disabilities. Nowadays, studies investigating any biological process, from the molecular level to the population level, use the “genetic approach” to gain understanding of that process. This book contains many diverse chapters, dealing with human genetic diseases, methods to diagnose them, novel approaches to treat them and molecular approaches and concepts to understand them. Although this book does not give a comprehensive overview of human genetic diseases, I believe that the sixteen book chapters will be a valuable resource for researchers and students in different life and medical sciences.
