A mucosite corresponde a uma condição inflamatória da mucosa da via oral e/ou gastrointestinal, que pode apresentar eritema, ulceração, hemorragia, edema e dor. É uma das principais complicações dos pacientes em tratamento oncológico, com várias limitações nutricionais e capacidade de causar infecções secundárias e febre. A importância com o alimento não se altera com o tempo ou com o aparecimento de uma doença grave. Entretanto, numa situação de impossibilidades, o alimento acaba por ser mais percebido pela sua falta ou pelas dificuldades na sua ingestão do que pela sua presença e prazer proporcionados. Este livro foi desenvolvido com base no trabalho desenvolvido na dissertação de mestrado'Crioterapia na quimioterapia em pacientes oncológicos pediátricos: desenvolvimento de um sorvete para manejo da mucosite e suporte nutricional'com a finalidade de servir como material de apoio aos profissionais de saúde no que diz respeito ao conhecimento nutricional necessário ao paciente oncológico pediátrico, aprofundando-se, sobretudo, nos temas da mucosite e da crioterapia, explorando novas possibilidades de cuidado. Acreditamos que o cuidado com o paciente a partir de um olhar multidisciplinar, combinando os saberes e as diversas experiências com a percepção da individualidade de cada paciente, permite alcançarmos resultados mais eficazes ante os desafios da doença oncológica.

Our understanding of human neuro-anatomy, and ability to safely access lesions in complex locations, are in continuous evolution. The subcortical white matter space is among the most intricate, yet least understood, regions of the brain, with regards to its billions of connections and the subtle clinical and clinical functions it subserves. Neurosurgical procedures in the subcortical space and intraventricular system have been traditionally very difficult due to their depth, the need for brain retraction, and limited understanding and imaging capability of this region. Common lesions encountered in the subcortical space include brain metastases, gliomas, and intracerebral hemorrhage. Surgical access to this region has classically been hindered, and is highly limited by evolving technological applications to medicine and surgery. Traditionally, the technology (optics, imaging, resection devices, illumination) needed to perform safe subcortical surgery was not commensurate with the surgeon's needs.Over the past decade, major strides in our ability to image, navigate, and safely access subcortical tumors and other lesions have been made. These include parafascicular, trans-sulcal approaches that may be channel-based to provide safe retraction of the cortical and subcortical matter. A confluence of optical, computational and mechanical technology have greatly enabled our ability to treat such lesions, and include advanced MR imaging such as diffusion tractography, neuronavigation, channel-based access ports, exoscopic visualization, fiber-optic illumination, and novel resection devices.Parafascicular, channel-based subcortical surgery is a relatively new field with evolving indications and approaches that promises to evolve considerably over the next several decades. We aim to develop the first comprehensive reference text compiling the known evidence and experience from expert practitioners in the field of subcortical parafascicular surgery. This book will provide a major foundation for future development of the field, and be a first and definitive reference for decades to come.Subcortical Neurosurgery: Open and Parafascicular Channel-Based Approaches for Subcortical and Intraventricular Lesions will be the definitive reference on surgery of the subcortical region. It will comprehensively discuss all aspects of treatment of subcortical and intraventricular lesions, including neuroanatomy and neuroimaging of the subcortical space, principles of parafascicular subcortical channel-based surgery, common indications and approaches, and focused chapters for common subcortical lesions. The first section of the reference focuses on the intricate anatomy and neuro-imaging of the subcortical space and ventricular system, with special emphasis on intricate white matter tracts and diffusion tractography imaging. The next section of the book discusses principles of both open and parafascicular, channel-based approaches to subcortical and intraventricular lesions, in addition to workhorse approaches to common subcortical compartments. Finally, specific pathological subcortical lesions that can be commonly addressed via parafascicular channel-based approaches, including brain metastases, gliomas, and intracerebral hemorrhage will be addressed. Authored by experts in the field of subcortical neurosurgery, this book was developed to provide a unique, comprehensive text for neurosurgeons, neuro-radiologists, and trainees from a variety of specialties interested in evolving minimally disruptive access and treatment of the subcortical space.

Helpt honing nu wel of niet tegen hoesten? Behalve de gewone dingen is in dit boek aandacht voor de meer complexe situaties, waarmee de huisarts te maken krijgt. Waarop let u bij kinderen, die opgroeien in een gezin met een zieke ouder? Doen kromme beentjes U denken aan een vitamine D gebrek? En wat adviseert u ouders, die helemaal ontredderd bij u komen omdat hun roze wolk is veranderd in een nachtmerrie, waarbij ze geen oog meer dicht doen omdat hun kind zo vaak huilt?Dit boek is een afspiegeling van wat er de afgelopen jaren zoal in Huisarts & Wetenschap over kinderen is verschenen. U krijgt in dit boek een mooi overzicht over hetgeen de laatste jaren zoal actueel is geweest.Dit boek is een afspiegeling van wat er de afgelopen jaren zoal in Huisarts & Wetenschap over kinderen is verschenen.
