Il corso EPILS fornisce agli operatori sanitari le conoscenze e le abilità essenziali che servono per gestire i pazienti in età pediatrica in fase critica o in arresto cardiaco in quel breve intervallo che precede l’arrivo di una squadra di rianimazione o di personale più esperto. L’arresto cardiorespiratorio nel bambino ha una prognosi sfavorevole ed è generalmente conseguenza di una condizione di ipossia che si instaura quando si esauriscono i meccanismi di compenso nei confronti degli effetti di una patologia sottostante. Il problema iniziale può essere a carico dalle vie aeree oppure riguardare l’attività respiratoria o circolatoria. Il precoce riconoscimento ed il conseguente trattamento di queste condizioni patologiche prevengono la progressione verso l’arresto cardiorespiratorio, riducendone la mortalità e la morbilità correlate.

Providing the most current information on the function of human growth hormone (GH) and the consequences of its deficiency, this practical yet comprehensive text is divided into three sections. Part one describes the mechanisms of GH secretion and action, including the physiology of GH and its regulation by sex steroids and thyroid hormones, the effects of both under nutrition and obesity on GH secretion, and the metabolic effects of human recombinant GH therapy. The second section covers diagnostic strategies and tests for GH deficiency in both children and adults, including MRI of the pituitary. The final section describes the different etiologies of GH deficiency, from molecular mechanisms and gene abnormalities to cranial radiation and traumatic brain injury, along with syndromes related to this deficiency. Presenting underlying mechanisms and pathologies, as well as diagnostic methods, Growth Hormone Deficiency will provide the most up-to-date essential information and evidence on this condition for the clinical endocrinologist.

This book promotes an evidence-based paradigm of fetal heart rate monitoring during labour, with a move away from the traditional 'pattern-based' interpretation to physiology-based interpretation. Chapters are presented in a systematic and accessible format, covering topics such as non-hypoxic causes of fetal brain injury, pre-existing hypoxia, types of intrapartum hypoxia, erroneous monitoring of maternal heart rate, fetal scalp blood sampling and fetal ECG (STAN), intermittent auscultation and medico-legal issues. Sections on 'pearls' and 'pitfalls' highlight good practice and common errors to promote best practice. End-of-chapter exercises allow the reader to engage with the theory and test their knowledge of key areas. This is a highly practical manual aimed at obstetricians and midwives, particularly those undergoing CTG training. The book will also be very useful to midwifery and medical students and to all those involved in multiprofessional intrapartum care.
