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.

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.

Literatur über die Chirurgie der Lippen-, Kiefer-, Gaumenspalten ist in der Regel sehr spezifisch und für Experten auf diesem Gebiet geschrieben. Ein chirurgisches Handbuch zum Erlernen der basalen chirurgischen Techniken bei Lippen-, Kiefer-, Gaumenspalten fehlt bisher auf dem Markt. Spaltchirurgische Atlanten enthalten nicht alle operativen Schritte und machen es Anfängern schwer, das didaktische Konzept im Operationssaal zu verstehen. Die Technik der Spaltchirurgie wird daher oft direkt vom Lehrer an den Schüler weitergegeben, ohne dass ein systematisch ausgearbeitetes Lehrkonzept vorliegt.Das vorliegende Buch schließt genau diese Lücke. So wird die Chirurgie der Lippen-, Kiefer-, Gaumenspalten systematisch dargestellt - mit ersten Schritten an einem innovativen Ausbildungsmodell, didaktisch sinnvoll und mit zahlreichen detaillierten Abbildungen. Jedes Kapitel beginnt mit Informationen zum historischen Hintergrund. Zunächst wird kurz beschrieben, wie die etablierten Operationstechniken zum Standard wurden und welche Überlegungen zu diesen Konzepten führten. Anschließend werden anatomische Grundlagen sowie präoperative Überlegungen vorgestellt. Hierfür werden aufwendige Schemazeichnungen und Abbildungen verwendet. Jede Operationstechnik wird dann Schritt für Schritt mit zahlreichen Bildern erklärt und gezeigt. Ein einfaches Trainingsmodell bietet die Möglichkeit, die Techniken der Lippenplastik Schritt für Schritt zu simulieren und zu üben. Abschließend gibt es Expertentipps und Empfehlungen für weiterführende Literatur. Das Buch stellt einen internationalen Standard für alle Chirurgen dar, die die die Chirurgie der Lippen-, Kiefer-, Gaumenspalten erlernen möchten. Es kann aber auch für Experten auf dem Gebiet hilfreich sein, z. B. zum Nachschlagen von Konzepten bei selteneren Spalttypen wie den lateralen Gesichtsspalten.

The Importance of Pathology in MedicinePathology, often referred to as the "backbone" of medicine, plays a crucial role in diagnosing and understanding diseases. It is a specialized field that explores the causes, effects, and progression of various illnesses, providing invaluable insights to healthcare professionals. In this subchapter, we will delve into the significance of pathology in medicine and shed light on its various aspects.First and foremost, pathology is instrumental in the accurate diagnosis of diseases. Through meticulous examination of tissues, cells, and bodily fluids, pathologists can identify and analyze abnormalities, enabling them to pinpoint the exact nature of an illness. This knowledge is essential for designing appropriate treatment plans and ensuring optimal patient care. Pathologists work closely with other medical specialists, providing them with indispensable information that guides their decision-making process.Additionally, pathology is indispensable in the field of research and development. By studying diseases at a cellular and molecular level, pathologists contribute to the discovery of new treatments, vaccines, and diagnostic techniques. Their work aids in understanding the underlying mechanisms of diseases, leading to advancements in medical science that benefit patients and society as a whole. Without pathology, medical progress would be severely hindered.Moreover, pathology plays a pivotal role in the field of forensic medicine. Through autopsies and careful examination of evidence, forensic pathologists can determine the cause and manner of death, assisting law enforcement agencies in solving crimes. Their expertise is also crucial in cases of medical malpractice, providing objective analysis in legal proceedings.Pathology is not limited to the laboratory or the autopsy room. It extends its reach to public health as well. By studying patterns and trends in disease occurrence, pathologists contribute to the prevention and control of epidemics. They play a vital role in monitoring the spread of infectious diseases, ensuring the safety of the population through effective surveillance and intervention strategies
