Diseases of the SinusesA Comprehensive Textbook of Diagnosis and Treatment

Diseases of the Sinuses: A Comprehensive Text-book of Diagnosis and Treatment, 2nd Edition, offers the definitive source of information about the basic science of the sinuses and the clinical approach to sinusitis. Since the widely praised publication of the first edition, understanding of sinus disease has changed dramatically, mainly as a result of recent developments and new discov-eries in the field of immunology. This updated and expanded edition is divided into sections addressing, separately, the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, medical and surgical management of acute and chronic rhinosinusitis. Special enti-ties such as autoimmune-related sinusitis, allergy and sinusitis, and aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease are discussed in separate chapters. The role of immunodeficiency is also addressed.

Features 7 Comprehensive resource on the basic, clinical, and medical and surgical management aspects of sinus disease 7 Provides new concepts, insights, and experience that can be beneficially applied to the diagnosis and treatment of patients 7 Topics range from the standard diagnosis and treatment of acute sinusitis in children and adults to state-of-the-art discussions of imaging techniques, unique material on smell disorders, the role of allergies in sinus disease, sinus headaches, and the clinical applications of rhinomanometry management of sinus disease

Tribology in Total Hip and Knee ArthroplastyPotential Drawbacks and Benefits of Commonly Used Materials

Wear and osteolysis are still the most important potential problems in total hip and knee arthro-plasty. Although technology in arthroplasty has been improved dramatically during the past decade, the clinical data relating to some implants reveal that many concerns remain. During the “Tribology Day” within the scientific programme of the 2013 EFORT Congress in Istanbul, the main topics included these concerns as well as the benefits of the materials most commonly used in total hip and knee arthroplasty. This book includes the presentations delivered on the day and cov-ers a range of interesting issues regarding metal, ceramic, and polyethylene articulations.

Features 7 Discusses the use of ceramics in total hip and knee arthroplasty 7 Appraises improvements in polyethylene 7 Addresses concerns regarding metal wear 7 Provides clinical data of different tribological concepts

Contents Clinical data on metal-ceramic-polyethylene articulations.- Basics and current trends on tribology of total knee arthroplasty.- The hype of ceramic – will it continue?- Metal-on-metal: still an option?- Improvements of polyethylene – have we reached the goal?

PET/CT in the Management of Lung CancerThe target for such a publication is all those involved in the day to day management of lung cancer; respiratory physicians, surgeons, oncolo-gists, radiotherapists and radiologists. The nodal anatomy will be outlined and TNM staging clearly explained. Additionally the book will show how PET/CT should fit into the staging algorithm. TNM stage changes as a result of PET/CT will be illustrated in great detail by the use of many images from real case scenarios. The value of PET/CT in assessing solitary pulmonary nodules and mediastinal nodes will be considered in separate chapters. The staging of non small cell lung cancer will be central to the text with a strong emphasis on PET/CT images and the surgical and/or onco-logical management stage by stage.

Contents Introduction to the basics of PET/CT.- Assess-ment and management of the solitary pulmo-nary nodule.- Assessment and management of mediastinal adenopathy.- Staging of Non small call lung cancer.- Radiotherapy planning.- Future Tracer technology.- Physics of FDG PET and other tracers
