en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 ian 2019

Pregătirea pentru examenul de rezidențiat sau pentru certificările de specialitate în dermatologie, chirurgie vasculară și ortopedie necesită o înțelegere riguroasă a mecanismelor fiziopatologice care stau la baza vindecării deficitare. În volumul Compression and Chronic Wound Management, notăm cu interes o abordare clinică precisă a terapiei compresive, considerată pilonul central în tratamentul patologiilor venoase. Considerăm că această ediție din 2019 reușește să sintetizeze complexitatea poverii economice și clinice generate de leziunile cronice, oferind un echilibru necesar între rigoarea științifică și practica pragmatică la patul bolnavului. Structura volumului urmează o progresie logică, pornind de la fizica compresiei necesară pentru a contracara hipertensiunea venoasă, trecând prin managementul ulcerelor de picior și al limfedemului, până la utilizarea dispozitivelor pneumatice intermitente. Pe linia clinică a lucrării The Science of Compression Bandages, dar cu accent pe practica specifică în diverse contexte geografice și climatice, acest tratat explorează inclusiv adaptările necesare în zonele tropicale, unde sistemele standard de bandajare pot fi inadecvate. Credem că includerea unor perspective din medicina tradițională (Ayurveda și medicina chineză) adaugă o valoare unică, rar întâlnită în literatura medicală occidentală. Poziționată ca o continuare firească a cercetărilor editorului Raj Mani, care în Chronic Wound Management a analizat traiectoriile diferite de vindecare ale rănilor, prezenta lucrare trece de la teorie la intervenție. Față de Venous Ulcers de Cynthia K. Shortell, care se concentrează pe mecanisme moleculare, volumul de față este un instrument de lucru direct, punând accent pe materialele de bandajare și pe execuția tehnică a tratamentului.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm Compression and Chronic Wound Management specialiștilor care doresc să stăpânească tehnicile de compresie dincolo de aplicarea lor mecanică. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere profundă a dinamicii presiunii și a materialelor moderne, fiind o resursă esențială pentru clinicienii care tratează ulcere venoase sau limfedem. Este manualul ideal pentru a transforma dovezile clinice în protocoale de tratament eficiente și personalizate.

Despre autor

Raj Mani este un cercetător și clinician de renume, specializat în managementul rănilor și măsurători vasculare. Expertiza sa este reflectată în coordonarea unor lucrări fundamentale care fac puntea între cercetarea academică și practica medicală, precum Measurements in Wound Healing. Alături de co-editorii Kittipan Rerkasem, Harikrishna K.R. Nair și Vijay Shukla, acesta aduce o perspectivă internațională asupra dermatologiei și medicinei vasculare. Activitatea sa se concentrează pe îmbunătățirea rezultatelor clinice prin aplicarea corectă a tehnologiei și a materialelor medicale în tratamentul patologiilor cronice ale extremităților inferioare.

Descriere scurtă

This book evaluates the various evidence-based arguments for the use of compression to treat chronic wounds. It describes the growing health burden caused by these lesions with vast sums spent on wound management and its associated complexities around the world. Since compression is the mainstay of treatment in venous conditions ranging from varicose veins through venous leg ulcers, the authors have also evaluated the use of compression techniques in the successful management of lymphoedema and certain orthopaedic conditions.
Compression and Chronic Wound Management provides a balanced text on how to apply scientific knowledge to ensure pragmatic clinical practice. It therefore represents an essential resource for residents, specialists and researchers in wound management, whether they are dermatologist, vascular medicine physicians and surgeons, or orthopaedic practitioners.

Recenzii

“The book has a didactic structure and accurately describes all the modalities to apply old and new materials and the techniques concerning CT. … I am convinced that every wound caregiver will have the pleasure to read this book for the expertise of the authors, the richness of practical information, and the modern approach to global wound care. … My warmest congratulations to Raj Mani and coworkers for their precious work.” (Massimo Papi, The International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds, March, 2019)

Notă biografică

Raj Mani has devoted a lifetime to promoting the concept of measurements in medicine with a focus on vascular conditions within the context of non-invasive methods. His personal contributions were focused on microvascular measurements of blood flow and tissue oxygen: the latter is now a routine diagnostic technique recommended for the management of chronic diabetic foot wounds. Raj was instrumental in bringing the Cochrane Wounds Group together under the auspices of the European Tissue Repair Society (ETRS) which he later became the President (2007-09). Raj is currently an Adjunct Professor at Chiang Mai University while continuing to be Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds. He is also an Advisory Professor, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine where, currently with Professor Shuliang Lu, he is advising on developing standardised wound healing in China. Kittipan Rerkasem is the Chief of Vascular Surgery in Chiang Mai University Hospital where he is also the Director of Research. He has published widely in this area. He is an alumnus of the University of Southampton. He has 90 publications in SCOPUS database with citation 2,485 times (exclude self-citations) H-Index is 24. Fields of interest are chronic leg ulcer, peripheral arterial disease, venous ulcer, and vascular disease in HIV patients.

Dr Hari Nair is a Consultant and Head of the Wound Care Unit at Kuala Lumpur Hospital Malaysia. Following his interest in wound healing, Dr Nair completed post graduate training in Cardiff. On his return, Hari Nair was instrumental in setting up a Wound Healing program in Kuala Lumpur Hospital, Malaysia. The success of this clinical program is highlighted by its uptake in other countries around Malaysia, a specialist training program designed by Dr Nair and re-invigoration of the Asian Wound Care Association that undertakes training of specialists in Asia. He is also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Surgery, Banares Hindu University and the Chairman of the ASEAN Wound Council. Hari Nair has published papers, books and delivered several invited lectures in Asia and Europe.

Vijay Shukla is a general surgeon with research and clinical interests in cancer of the gall bladder and wound management. His early training includes a period in Wales where he completed a Master in Chirurgy (MCh). Vijay has published widely in his career and is currently the Director of the Institute of Medical Sciences, Varanasi.
