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.

The book offers a thorough description of rhinoplasty techniques for patients from the Mediterranean area. Noses come in different shapes and colors, depending on the various biotypes of the different geographic regions. This represents a topical issue for rhinoplasty surgeons, since different nasal morphologies imply different anatomic conditions. Moreover, beauty ideal varies from one region to the other, and those differences need to be taken into consideration. Based on these premises, the ethnic rhinoplasty is becoming more and more important among facial plastic surgeons. In order to broaden the understanding of anatomo-functional and cultural or cosmetic aspects specific to the Mediterranean nasal biotype, the book collects and discusses the experiences of surgeons operating on patients from the various regions of the Mediterranean area. Mediterranean Rhinoplasty represents a valuable resource not only for surgeons who are already experts in facial plastic surgery, but also for young otorhinolaryngologists, plastic surgeons and maxillofacial surgeons.

The book is intended to serve as a practical guide to effective ear examination. Learning to perform otoscopy is not easy because the external auditory canal is obstructed by cerumen, otorrhea can be present, and the tympanic membrane is sometimes only partially visible. In children, it is even more difficult because of the narrow ear canal, the alignment of the tympanic membrane, and the restlessness of the child.  Uncertainty in diagnosis can lead to overtreatment, as in the case of acute otitis media and unnecessary prescription of antibiotics. On the other hand, delay in diagnosis may lead to severe complications such as mastoiditis, meningitis and brain abscess in case of overlooked middle ear cholesteatoma. This textbook aims to facilitate learning through a wealth of full color otoscopic pictures and is divided into chapters that cover the major otologic pathologies. The volume includes images related to cochlear implants and bone conduction devices, along with the images of the major surgical procedures or conditions associated with them. It also helps the reader to identify the conditions in which surgical intervention is mandatory. Given its didactic approach, this guide will be an invaluable resource for medical students and residents in otolaryngology, and in paediatrics and general medicine alike.
