Nonostante nell’ultima decade siano stati raggiunti significativi progressi nella cura del dolore abbiamo ancora un lungo tragitto da percorrere per migliorare le conoscenze e l’uso di trattamenti efficaci e sicuri. Questo volume, iniziando dai meccanismi fisiopatologici ed attraverso la rilevazione oggettiva del dolore, si prefigge di accelerare la diagnosi e ottimizzare la terapia. Ritardare la diagnosi significa di fatto ritardare il trattamento. Gli autori nei vari capitoli hanno esaminato i principali e più recenti farmaci in uso nella terapia antalgica ed hanno dato rilievo a particolari aspetti del dolore, facendo riferimento all’età, al genere, allo stile di vita, al benessere generale. Personalizzare il trattamento del dolore rappresenta l’approccio ottimale ai fini di evitare le terapie inefficaci o dannose. Il volume, di facile consultazione, è diretto a tutti gli operatori del settore della medicina del dolore ed ha lo scopo di fornire le conoscenze più recenti e importanti per il futuro dell’analgesia.

The second edition of this book describes the clinical indications of NIV in patients hospitalized with high-risk infections as well as in the prehospital management of mass casualty incidents, including chemical or biological disasters and pandemics. In recent decades, we have learned the impact that different pandemics and mass casualty disasters can outcome in terms of health resource use, health costs and human lives. The development of respiratory failure in these patients, either infectious or non-infectious causes, has led to develop employment plans related both to invasive or noninvasive mechanical ventilation during acute respiratory failure. In this book authors evaluate a rational basis for indications, specific noninvasive mechanical ventilation indications in hospitalized patients (tuberculosis, bacterial, virus, etc.) and prehospital applications (mass casualty: chemical, biological disaster), equipment (ventilators, interfaces) and plan organization for health systems: how and when apply NIV. A critical review of already published studies is described as well as implications and how will be the future according to international expert opinions. Therefore, this updated edition represents a useful scientific reference point according to what it has been experienced in the last pandemics, with respect to the growing role that NIV has and must have in the world.

A sette anni di distanza dalla prima edizione, proponiamo ai lettori estimatori della materia una seconda edizione ampliata, riveduta e corretta del libro A COSA SERVE LA BIOCHIMICA. Qualsiasi libro, anche se letto e riletto, una volta stampato evidenzia qualche refuso che fa rammaricare l’autore per non essere stato abbastanza attento.Anche l’informatica ha talvolta i suoi difetti come quando, passando il file di un capitolo, che contenga delle formule chimiche scritte dall’autore, dal sistema Windows ad un sistema professionale proprio delle aziende editoriali, i trattini che legano i vari elementi chimici si trasformano in quadrati, con buona pace del compositore di bozze che naturalmente non sa quale dei quattro lati del quadrato sia il legame giusto e, soprattutto in verticale, a quale elemento chimico della riga superiore o inferiore corrisponda.Poi ci sono gli errori sostanziali fatti da chi, pur esperto nella materia trattata, non è uno specialista, nel nostro caso un biochimico. Un esempio di questi errori (in questo caso privo di conseguenze cliniche, ma solo didascalico) mi è stato evidente, col senno di poi, nel ciclo di Krebs dove avevo dato per scontato che, là dove ci fosse una decarbossilazione ossidativa, il coenzima fosse la cocarbossilasi, forma attiva della vitamina B1. Un approfondimento tardivo mi aveva poi evidenziato che la vitamina B1 non partecipa all’ultima delle reazioni che trasformano l’acido citrico (6 atomi di C) in acido alfa-chetoglutarico (5 atomi di C).Ma non tutti i mali vengono per nuocere. Questa nuova edizione, oltre all’inserimento di tre nuovi capitoli (sugli ipnotici, sugli antibiotici e sugli adiuvanti perineurali), vede la modifica e l’ampliamento di altri. Il capitolo sugli antibiotici sarà particolarmente utile a chi si occupa prevalentemente di terapia intensiva; quello sugli adiuvanti perineurali ai cultori dell’anestesia locoregionale; infine, l’appendice sul surfattante polmonare è diventata un quarto nuovo capitolo.A libro già stampato mi ero accorto che mancava qualcosa! Alcune di queste modifiche erano allora state apportate nell’Edizione Inglese “Biochemistry for Anesthesiologists and Intensivists”, pubblicata da Springer Verlag nel gennaio 2020. Una lusinghiera recensione era poi venuta da un illustre collega che, oltre ad alcune giuste osservazioni critiche, così concludeva: “L’estesa bibliografia favorirà chi desideri un ulteriore approfondimento di specifici argomenti”. Alcune voci bibliografiche potrebbero sembrare un po’ datate, ma una nozione nel mondo scientifico resta valida fino a che non venga contestata o superata.
