Trevor H. Turner
editore: Churchill Livingstone

Schizophrenia is the most common of the psychotic illnesses, affecting approximately 1 per cent of the UK population at some point in their lives. Contrary to popular misunderstanding about the condition, although it is a serious and distressing illness, most people with schizophrenia are able to live in the community, managing their symptoms in close cooperation with their GP and primary care team. Evidence shows that the earlier schizophrenia is diagnosed and treated, the better the long-term prognosis. This book will help primary care providers to understand and identify the symptoms of schizophrenia, to provide evidence-based, appropriate management, and to respond to the needs of patients and their families for up-to-date information. Written in the popular Q and A format of the series, answers are presented in a succinct, accessible style, and include case vignettes to illustrate typical presentations. There are also some frequently-asked patient questions in non-medical language, and a list of sources of further information and support.

Treatment Planning in General Dental Practice
Crawford Bain
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 168
This is an introduction to treatment planning in general dental practice. It is to be published in association with "Dental Update". On leaving dental school, most dentists are competent in a number of treatment modalities such as placing fillings, crowns and simple bridges, periodontal care, extraction etc. However, integrating all these aspects of care when they are faced by real patients with multiple problems is more difficult. In recent years, treatment options have become more sophisticated, patient expectations have risen and litigation for malpractice has become more common. All these factors have made it more important for the dentist to be able to produce a rational treatment plan and to communicate the various options to the patient effectively. This book will address the difficulties young dentists face in providing their patients with integrated treatment.
