Otorinolaryngologi

Lærebog i øre-næse-halssygdomme - og hoved-hals-kirurgi er en helt ny lærebog, der afløser den klassiske lærebog af Thomsen og Jepsen. Bogen baserer sig på et nyt koncept, der bl.a. rummer et bredt forfatterpanel og en ny vægtning af stoffet med fokus på nationale retningslinjer, klassifikationer og danske universitetshospitalers procedurebeskrivelser. Bogens centrale del består af de organspecifikke afsnit, der hver især har en ny og konsekvent struktur og nyt billedmateriale. En mindre del af bogen præsenterer dels undersøgelsesteknikker, en symptomorienteret indgangsvinkel til patienten samt de akutte ørenæsehals-tilstande. Målgruppen er primært medicinstuderende, introduktionslæger i specialet og praktiserende læger. Bogen suppleres af et interaktivt læringssite på forlagets hjemmeside med bl.a. undersøgelsesvideoer og kliniske cases.

APD er en hyppigt overset lyttevanskelighed, der påvirker barnets og den unges læring, udvikling og trivsel. Denne bog giver viden om, hvordan APD kommer til udtryk, hvad der forårsager problemerne, og hvad man som forælder, pædagog, lærer eller anden professionel kan gøre for at støtte barnet og den unge med dårlige lyttefærdigheder.APD skyldes ikke nedsat hørelse, men at hjernen ikke formår at skelne lydene, zoome ind på relevant lyd, sortere lyde og skabe mening. Børn med APD har derfor ofte svært ved at forstå det talte sprog og kan have besvær med fx læse-stave-tilegnelsen.Når hjernen ikke lytter giver en teoretisk gennemgang af hørelsen og hjernens processering af lyd samt den viden, der findes om APD’ens karakter. Bogen indeholder casebeskrivelser, en praksisdel, der giver forslag til forbedringer af de fysiske rammer i læringsmiljøet, pædagogisk understøttende tiltag, viden om behandlingsmuligheder samt screeningsark, der kan anvendes til at vurdere om et barn har en indikation for APD.

CASES I SANSEFAGOFTALMOLOGI | OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGI | DERMATOLOGIMed CASES I SANSEFAG kan du træne dine kliniske evner med udgangspunkt i specialerne, der beskæftiger sig med øjensygdomme, øre-næse-hals-sygdomme og hudsygdomme. Bogen tager det vigtigste og hyppigste fra fagområderne og tilføjer en ny læringsdimension: Den kliniske, casebaserede tankegang som brobygning til virkelighedens diagnostiske landskab.At træffe den rette lægefaglige beslutning kræver teoretisk viden og klinisk erfaring. Den gode case kombinerer og formidler begge dele i systematiseret form, som er afgørende for øvelse og læring af mønstergenkendelse, en analytisk tilgang og kritisk refleksion – fra patientmodtagelse, over udredning til behandling og plan for det videre forløb.CASES I SANSEFAG er tilpasset medicinstuderende, som læser på landets medicinske fakulteter i København, Odense, Århus og Aalborg, og postgraduate yngre læger under KBU-, intro- og HU-uddannelse.

This comprehensive volume provides balanced and easily readable chapters on contemporary topics around discourse production in patients with neurogenic disorders. Discourse broadly refers to a unit of language longer than a single sentence, typically used in a spoken or written format to express ideas, feelings, and opinions or to interact with others. As the field of research in speech-language pathology, aphasia and related neurogenic disorders, and clinical decision-making to manage neurogenic impairments is rapidly expanding, there has been an increased focus on discourse analysis and therapy to enable patients to speak well again. Various user groups and people with lived experience (e.g., aphasia, dementia, traumatic brain injury, right hemisphere damage, etc.) are also increasingly focused on the impact of neurogenic impairments on domains of conversation and changes in language skills beyond the smaller linguistic components of single words and sentences that are traditionally supported by speech-language therapy. The first part of this book details and discusses the basic principles, historical perspectives (history and developmental milestones), neural basis, and recent evolutions and advancement of discourse analysis in speakers with acquired communication disorders. The second part of the book outlines and illustrates current methods for discourse elicitation and analysis across different clinical populations. Recent leaps forward in technology that can assist in the recording, processing, and analysis of discourse will be highlighted. The final part of book reviews and summarizes key developments of various evidenced-based training strategies, interventions, and treatment programs, as well as utilization of innovative technology to clinically improve neurogenic disordered discourse.¿This is an ideal guide for researchers, clinicians, and students in the field of communication sciences and disorders, speech and language therapy, gerontology, (neuro-)linguistics, psychology, and related fields in clinical medicine.

This book presents a complete summary about the 12 pairs of cranial nerves (CN). They control much of the motor and sensory functions of the head and neck such as smell, sight, eye movement, and feeling in the face. The CN also control balance, hearing, and swallowing.The examination of the CN is an important part of the clinical neurological examination. Additionally, to the anatomy, extensive knowledge about further diagnostic tools are necessary such as neuroimaging, and electrophysiology. The book is divided into three parts: a general part with anatomy and imaging, a systematic part grouping the 12 pairs of cranial nerves, and a part describing cranial nerve functions in specific conditions and diseases.

I have been honoured to write the foreword to this European Textbook on Surgery of Larynx and Trachea. This multi-author textbook under the editorship of Professor Marc Remacle and Professor Hans Eckel is de? nitely a milestone in European laryngology and for the European Laryngological Society. The editors and the chapter authors belong to the leading laryngologists in Europe. The book covers a broad ? eld within larynx and trachea and represents the state of art within European laryngology today. The book covers physiology, phoniatrics, open, and endoscopic operative techniques in adults and in pediatrics. Even assisting drugs used in clinical practice as steroids, ? brin glue, mitomycin C, cidofovir, etc. have been covered. The book is easy to read, but goes into depths of representative ? elds. On the whole, the book is very well illustrated, not only with endoscopic photos, but also with a lot of illustrative drawings which complement and add to the quality of the chapters. I am sure that this is a book that will be read, not only by laryngologists in Europe and outside, but also used in the teaching of residents and those superspecializing in laryngology. As one of the founding members of ELS and President of EUFOS, I must congra- late all the authors and editors of this European Textbook on Larynx and Trachea. The book is an example of the standard and quality of European ORL-HNS and especially laryngology today. The book is de? nitely very promising for the future.
