Book Description
This book is a comprehensive guide to Targeted Drug Delivery (TDD), also known as Intrathecal Drug Delivery (IDD), and offers an overview to this unique form of treatment. The medication is delivered by intrathecal pumps and is less common than some other techniques for interventional pain management, but is essential in conditions such as refractory pain, cancer pain, multifocal pain, severe spasticity, and in patients who are not candidates for surgical correction of their underlying condition. This book is the first source to describe both the optimal surgical implantation and patient management aspect of this therapy, and thus will be a valuable single reference guide for interventional radiologists, anesthesiologists, physiatrists, oncologists, neurologists, spine surgeons, palliative care physicians, and primary care physicians.

Additionally, War on Chronic Pain will help you: · Learn the Truth about Back Surgeries that Surgeons don't want you to know! · Discover Safer & More Effective Pain Treatments, Therapies, Devices, Procedures, and Medications. · Make Better Healthcare Decisions without Making Your Pain Worse or Living a Life of Regret. · Choose Less Risky Alternative Therapies to Avoid Surgery and Addictive Opioid Pain Medications and their Negative Consequences. · Learn About Dozens of New Pain Control Solutions and How to Work with Your Pain Management Specialist to Reduce or Eliminate Your Chronic Pain. "War on Chronic Pain" is the one book I wish I’d read before I ever considered spine surgery or opioid therapy. Of course, it wasn’t available back then, so I wrote it for you!

Its hard-earned wisdom will help you, or someone you love, make better, more informed, safer, and more effective healthcare decisions. Declare Victory Over Your Chronic Pain!

Suffer Less in Life and Work
Author: Vincent Dodd
Publisher: Gatekeeper Press
ISBN: 1662922833
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
It can seem we are more divided than ever in many aspects of life, and we too often still feel empty while pushing ourselves to keep up. Suffer Less in Life & Work explores many facets of our relationships with ourselves and others and provides tools to help ease this division and brings a clearer level of understanding and grace. When you consider what makes up our life: emotions, relationships, concerns, expectations, harsh realities, and even politics, how can there not be some suffering? Though these subjects are wide and deep, the author breaks each down and shares from his 34 years of front-line public service experiences and his personal life observations what is adding to our difficulties. He then follows with solution-based concepts and easy daily applicable tools to tame these daily life stressors. The Author writes: I am periodically asked, “With all of the tragedy and death you have seen, why do you laugh so often?” Sometimes the question is worded slightly differently, which slightly changes my answer, “With all the tragedy and death you have seen, how can you always be so happy?” My answer to the first question is because life is hard; and yet, life is also an amazing and unfortunately short but powerful journey. So yes, I do find the good, the humor, and the laughter as often as I can. My answer to the slightly differently worded question is the same, but it starts with, “I am not always happy….” I have seen inside of us, including myself, that there is a dark place between alive and dead that we sometimes fall into for a period. That place is emptiness, loneliness, paralyzing fear, anxiety, depression, anger, resentment, jealousy, even blame, and many addictions. It is my hope that we do not have to stay in that undead but not alive place for long. We arrive there when our feelings or perceptions, and sometimes the actual reality of our life, hit a difficult span of more bad than good. This causes the rough to cover more of our spirit than the light of goodness can illuminate. In this day and time, that unalive place is happening to us all too often. We do have valid reasons to feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, and to question human and social behaviors. But you are alive, and unless chronic or severe, these painful, aware, and sensitive human experiences have the potential to enrich our lives. It requires a cautious balance. As pressures mount, this can be difficult, but acknowledging how tough and scary it all can be at times is a great healthy start.

Advances in Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery 8
Author: Giovanni Broggi
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3709190290
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
The last ten years has witnessed a resurgence of interest in stereotactic surgery although this has been mainly in the field of the comparatively simple stereotactic biopsy of intracranial tumours. There is also evidence of a returning interest in functional neurosurgery other than pain which has always sustained high levels of endeavour. The present work comprises selected papers from a much larger group of interesting and important communications to the European Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery. They represent modern views on a wide variety of stereotactic surgical topics from internationally acclaimed experts in this field. The neurosurgeon who has little or no acquaintance with this fruitful sub-specialty will be surprised to find very broad applications of the technique which is gradually replacing many con ventional neurosurgical procedures. This is particularly evident in the papers on tumours but there is also a section on the treatment of vascular disease which marks an extension of neurosurgical practice. The Society has always regarded technical advances as important and some of the most recent devel opments appear in this book. Finally, an exciting new development of neural transplantation marks the beginning of what may be an important part of neurological surgery in the future.
