Atlas of the Diabetic Foot

Foot ulcers occur in approximately 15% of the patients with diabetes mellitus in their lifetime, with a major impact on their quality of life. Many hospital admissions related to diabetes are due to foot ulcers, which can result in prolonged hospital stay and increased morbidity and mortality. The majority of lower limb amputations are performed in patients with diabetes every year (80,000 at least in the USA). Most of the diabetes-related foot problems can be prevented or their severity reduced by early detection and treatment. This book contributes to improved foot care through raised awareness of prevention, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management among healthcare professionals.

Common Musculoskeletal Problems

This book differs from other texts on the market. It is not meant to serve as a comprehensive text for all musculoskeletal conditions; rather, it has been produced to act as an off-the-shelf guide to assist healthcare providers evaluating patients presenting with common musculoskeletal complaints in the primary care setting. It is best used at the point of care and should not be considered a primary reference text.

Atlas fotográfico de osteología con orientación palpatoria

Sin duda dentro de las ciencias y especialmente de las ciencias medicas, la anatomia es la menos dinamica. Se dice que es estatica porque casi todo ya se ha escrito y existen escasas modificaciones en los textos especializados, es esto probablemente una de las principales causas de la falta de motivacion por su estudio.
Los viejos textos de anatomia muchas veces no nos permiten advertir que esta materia sera siempre la madre de todos los conocimientos de las ciencias medicas que constituye la vida, morfologia, mecanica, funcion y su palpacion.
La finalidad de este libro no es precisamente aportar nuevos conocimientos anatomicos, sino entregar a los estudiantes una herramienta pedagogica que les permita comprender e internalizar la importancia de esta especialidad desde un punto de vista descriptivo e implicancia clinica.

Ortopedia. Netter

Esta es una obra esencial para el conocimiento de la fisiopatologia, el diagnostico y el tratamiento de las enfermedades musculoesqueléticas. La necesidad de un libro de texto de estas características queda demostrada por la frecuencia de las enfermedades abordadas, que ocupan el segundo puesto, por detrás de las enfermedades respiratorias, en la lista de razones que hacen que los pacientes acudan al médico, así como su diversidad, que va desde los traumatismos hasta las infecciones, pasando por las enfermedades metabólicas y neoplásicas.
Los pacientes que sufren enfermedades que afectan el sistema musculoesquelético son atendidos en muy diversos contextos sanitarios, lo que obliga a que la práctica totalidad de los médicos deban estar familiarizados con el diagnostico y tratamiento de estas enfermedades.

Bases Fisiologicas De La Terapia Manual Y De La Osteopatia

Es evidente que el cuerpo humano no ha cambiado y que su fisiología continúa siendo la misma desde hace muchos siglos. Pero, aunque la fisiología no ha cambiado, los medios investigación se han transformado. El conocimiento de la fisiología neuromuscular ha hecho progresos considerables y esto no puede pasar desapercibido por los terapeutas.
El autor, convencido de lo que la fisiología del movimiento es la sola y única base de la cinesiterapia, nos observa que somos mecanismos y como tales debemos conocer perfectamente la "mecánica humana" que pretendemos "reparar". Por ello, ha escrito este libro práctico, en el cual el terapeuta descubrirá por qué debe tratar a su paciente, cómo debe tratarle y con qué finalidades.

Children's Orthopaedics and Fractures. 3rd Ed.

There have been many changes in children’s orthopaedics and considerable developments in fracture management, markedly improved use of external fixators and the scientific development of, for example, the Taylor spatial frame to correct complex deformities. The use of ultrasound has increased considerably in the diagnosis of children’s disorders and there are more sophisticated ways of analysing deformities. There are also new classifications for unstable slipped epiphysis and our genetic understanding of children’s disorders has increased exponentially.
