Therapy for Viral Hepatitis and Prevention of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The liver has an important role in nutritional homeostasis, and it is well known that liver diseases can lead to abnormalities in the nutrient metabolism and to subsequent malnutrition. Because malnutrition is particularly prevalent in patients with liver cirrhosis, proper nutritional assessment and support for cirrhotic patients is essential. This collection of research and clinical findings on nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and nutritional therapy contains significant new findings in several fields. As NASH frequently causes liver cirrhosis, the nutritional aspects of its treatment are discussed. Other areas covered include nonalcoholic fatty liver, the role of leptin in the pathogenesis of NASH, restricted diets and exercise therapy, mammalian targets of the peptide rapamycin, and genetic factors influencing the development of NASH. This book is intended to be of particular relevance to researchers and those practicing in the field.

Therapy for Genitourinary Cancer (Cancer Treatment and Research #59)

Where do you begin to look for a recent, authoritative article on the diag­ nosis or management of a particular malignancy? The few general oncology textbooks are generally out of date. Single papers in specialized journals are informative but seldom comprehensive; these are more often preliminary reports on a very limited number of patients. Certain general journals frequently publish good in-depth reviews of cancer topics, and published symposium lectures are often the best overviews available. Unfortunately, these reviews and supplements appear sporadically, and the reader can never be sure when a topic of special interest will be covered. Cancer Treatment and Research is a series of authoritative volumes that aim to meet this need. It is an attempt to establish a critical mass of oncology literature covering virtually all oncology topics, revised frequently to keep the coverage up to date, and easily available on a single library shelf or by a single personal subscription. We have approached the problem in the following fashion: first, by dividing the oncology literature into specific subdivisions, such as lung cancer, genitourinary cancer, pediatric oncology, etc.; and second, by asking eminent authorities in each of these areas to edit a volume on the specific topic on an annual or biannual basis. Each topic and tumor type is covered in a volume appearing frequently and predictably, discussing current diag­ nosis, staging, markers, all forms of treatment modalities, basic biology, and more.

Therapy Dogs in Cancer Care: A Valuable Complementary Treatment

Dogs that visit patients with cancer have been convincingly shown to reduce stress, loneliness, and mood disturbance that may complicate cancer care. In addition, dogs may provide important motivation for patients to maintain rehabilitation programs that have been shown to reduce cancer risk and improve cancer survival. Outlining all of these issues and many more, Therapy Dogs in Cancer Care: A Valuable Complementary Treatment is a ground-breaking, highly innovative addition to the literature on cancer care. Detailing a comprehensive summary of truly impressive research demonstrating the ability of dogs to serve an important therapeutic role within the cancer arena and in other serious medical conditions, the text provides highly practical advice and very helpful “tips” to ensure that those who wish to employ dogs to assist the cancer patient have the necessary knowledge and “tools” to optimize outcomes. Authored by Dawn A. Marcus, MD, an expert in both pain management and health improvement through human and dog interaction, Therapy Dogs in Cancer Care: A Valuable Complementary Treatment is an extremely well-organized, well-researched, and highly readable book. Providing practical suggestions to effectively incorporate dogs into cancer care, with detailed instructions about requirements for therapy dogs to ensure visits are safe and limit unwanted spread of infection, Therapy Dogs in Cancer Care: A Valuable Complementary Treatment is an invaluable reference that will inform and delight both the clinician desiring a “how-to” text as well as the casual reader.

A Therapist’s Manual for Cognitive Behavior Therapy in Groups

One of the great advantages of rational-emotive therapy (RET) and cog­ nitive behavior therapy (CBT) is that they frequently employ psycho­ educational methods-including bibliotherapy, workshops, lectures, courses, recordings, and films. I created RET at the beginning of 1955 after I had abandoned the practice of psychoanalysis because I found it to be highly inefficient and philosophically superficial. Being almost addicted to one-to-one therapy as a result of my analytic training and experience, I at first did RET only with individual clients and found this pioneering form of CBT considerably more effective than the other ther­ apies with which I had experimented. By 1957, however, I realized that RET could be taught to large num­ bers of persons through self-help books and articles and that RET -ori­ ented writings could not only prove valuable to the general public but that they could also be successfully employed to hasten and intensify the therapy of my individual clients. I therefore wrote a number of RET self­ help books-especially How to Live with a Neurotic (1957), Sex without Guilt (1958), A New Guide to Rational Living (with Robert A. Harper; original edition, 1961), and A Guide to Successful Marriage (with Robert A. Harper, 1961).

Therapieverweigerung bei Kindern und Jugendlichen: Medizinrechtliche Aspekte 6. Einbecker Workshop der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Medizinrecht in Zusammenarbeit mit der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Kinderheilkunde 24. – 26. März 1995 (MedR Schriftenreihe Medizinrecht)

Der Dissens zwischen elterlichem und ärztlichem Willen bei der Behandlung von Kindern und Jugendlichen beschäftigt seit Jahren die Gerichtsbarkeit. Aus neuerer Zeit stammen in Deutschland Entscheidungen zum Konflikt des Schwangerschaftsabbruchs bei Minderjährigen, Empfängnisverhütung von Minderjährigen, Sterilisation und Operationen am geistig Behinderten. In einem gemeinsamen Workshop der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Kinderheilkunde und der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Medizinrecht wurden auf der Basis von Analysen problematischer Kasuistiken Empfehlungen zu den Fragen der Therapieverweigerung bei Kindern und Jugendlichen erarbeitet, die den betroffenen Ärzten und Juristen eine konstruktive Diskussion in diesem komplexen Problemkreis ermöglichen und patientengerechte Entscheidungen erleichtern sollen.

Therapieresistenz unter Neuroleptikabehandlung

In der Behandlung schizophrener Patienten mit Neuroleptika kommt es in einem nicht unerheblichen Prozentsatz zu Therapieresistenz. Das Ausmaß dieser Problematik wird bereits aus den kontrollierten Therapiestudien zu den ersten Neuroleptika deutlich. Selbst unter den, im Vergleich zu kontrollierten Therapiestudien, weniger restriktiven Bedingungen der psychiatrischen Routineversorgung (Möglichkeit zu längerer Behandlung, zu höherer Dosierung, zu Präparatewechsel etc.) kommt es in einem noch immer erheblichen Prozentsatz, insbesondere bei den selektierten Patienten im stationären Bereich, zu einem unbefriedigenden Therapieerfolg. Im Rahmen eines Workshops, der anläßlich des Symposions der AGNP (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Neuropsychopharmakologie und Pharmakopsychiatrie) im Herbst 1989 stattfand, stand diese Thematik im Zentrum. Hintergrundfaktoren und Behandlungsmöglichkeiten der Therapieresistenz von Neuroleptika wurden von verschiedenen Experten dargestellt und diskutiert. Die überarbeiteten und aktualisierten Beiträge dieses Symposions wurden in dem hier vorliegenden Band publiziert, um allen wissenschaftlich oder praktisch an dieser Thematik interessierten Kollegen den "state of the art" nahezubringen.

Therapieresistenz unter Antidepressiva-Behandlung (Bayer-ZNS-Symposium #5)

Antidepressiva-Therapieresistenz ist einer der häufigsten Einweisungsgründe ambulant behandelter depressiver Patienten zur stationären Behandlung. Sie stellt ein relevantes Problem dar. Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit Erklärungsansätzen hierfür, weist auf die Behandlungprobleme hin und zeigt therapeutische Möglichkeiten auf, die für den in der klinischen Praxis tätigen Psychiater von großer Relevanz sind.

Therapieresistenz bei Depressionen und bipolaren Störungen

Therapieresistente depressive und bipolare Störungen stellen ungebrochen eine klinische Herausforderung dar: Therapeutisches Nichtansprechen bzw. Therapieresistenz depressiver und bipolarer Erkrankungen sind nicht nur häufig, sie erfordern oft auch eine stationäre Behandlung. Für Betroffene und Angehörige bedeutet das erhebliche Einschränkungen der Lebensqualität und der sozialen und beruflichen Funktionsfähigkeit. Therapieresistente Verläufe verursachen gleichzeitig sehr hohe Behandlungskosten.Um dieser Herausforderung zu begegnen, steht heute ein breites Spektrum pharmakologischer, psychotherapeutischer und psychosozialer Behandlungsmöglichkeiten zur Verfügung, das spezielle Kenntnisse und Erfahrungen voraussetzt. In diesem Buch stellen daher namhafte ExpertInnen in kurzen, prägnanten Kapiteln wissenschaftlich fundiert und mit hohem Praxisbezug den aktuellen Wissensstand dar und bieten Leitlinien für die Behandlung in Klinik und Praxis.Dabei werden auch neue Methoden, wie weiterentwickelte Hirnstimulationsverfahren, Chancen und Grenzen pharmakogenetischer Methoden zur präziseren Therapieempfehlung („bedside genotyping“), neue psychotherapeutische und pharmakologische Ansätze sowie innovative integrierte Versorgungsformen berücksichtigt. Das Buch richtet sich an PsychiaterInnen, NervenärztInnen, PsychotherapeutInnen und PsychologInnen, insbesondere im stationären Setting, aber auch in spezialisierten Praxen, sowie WissenschaftlerInnen von Forschungseinrichtungen und Industrieunternehmen.
