Book Description
Neurodevelopmental diseases affect three percent of children and the specific cause is difficult to determine in many cases. Genetic research uncovered many loss or gain of function mutations in genes that are associated with synaptic development and or remodeling. However, more an more data are accumulating regarding the importance in gene regulations in neurodevelopmental diseases. Thjis issue addresses many aspects of the genomics of neurodevelopmental diseases, including articles devoted to genomic variations of brain malformations; neuroimaging of brain development; update on autism evaluation and genetics; prader-willi and angelman syndromes; tuberous sclerosis complex; genetics of pediatric epilepsy; pediatric leukodystrophies; autoimmune encephalopathies; inherited neuropathies and motor neuron diseases; and muscular dystrophies and congenital myopathies.

HADI PRACTICAL NEONATOLOGY BOOK 2

Publisher: ABDELHADI ABDELGABBAR ABDELHADI
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
Hadi Practical Neonatology (Hadi PN), a 2-book series of practical guidelines, is intended to provide a structured approach to the management of neonatal conditions which are likely to face the neonatal team. It is not intended to replace neonatal textbooks or to teach the beginners in the field. Prior sound knowledge of Neonatal Medicine, by the user, is essential. This book is the second in the series. It covers aspects of NEUROLOGY-FLUIDS & ELECTROLYTES, VASCULAR ACCESS & SAMPLING, FREQUENT CHALLENGES , HAEMATOLOGY, JAUNDICE and ESSENTIAL PROCEDURES&PRACTICES challenges. It is my belief that neonatal doctors and nurses are an integrated team, and any demarcation is an imaginary line. The recipe of creating a backbone of good nurses is passionate support, continuous education, and practical teaching at every possible opportunity. Mutual trust and appropriate delegations are crucial to the success of the team. HADI PN series is written for the neonatal team and not just for the medical staff. The best way for consolidating the team knowledge and experience is bedside teaching. New methods and approaches of neonatal management are progressing but seem to slow down over the last 2-3 years. This may reflect the fact neonatal advances are approaching our era peak of “what is possible.” Nevertheless, many of our current practices are yet to be scrutinized to fulfil the evidence-based pathways and standards. There is no robust verification of our current practice of many routine day to day applications. This include but not limited to fluid requirements, duration of antibiotics courses, use of various blood products, and seizures pharmacological treatment. I have reviewed multiple neonatal medical and nursing guidelines from Europe, North America, and Australia as well as guidelines from Asia, South America, and Africa. I integrated many aspects from these guidelines within this text whenever they are in accord with the international acceptable practices. Feedback and suggestions are welcome and can be sent to [email protected] The book is an updated version of the protocols and guidelines which I have developed during my work as Consultant Neonatologist. Many are adopted from various reputable institutes and modified to reflect the current evidence plus a slight flavour of my experience. Considerable effort has been exercised to ensure the doses of medications given in HADI PN are accurate. However, further confirmation by the nursing and medical staff is advised prior to the first use of each medication. HADI PN reflects the author’s own acceptable and safe practice and advice. It is written with the intention of facilitating the delivery of care to the most vulnerable newborn. The publication is written bearing in mind the wide variations in the skill mix of neonatal practitioners, nurses, and doctors. Likewise, the challenging circumstances in developing countries are taken into consideration. It is a legal requirement to advise users of the information provided within this publication that the editor and publisher are not responsible for any errors or omissions and or any consequences arising from the use of this book.
