The world of health is undergoing a significant evolution. There is a tangible sense of urgency and great expectation that affects everyone: patients, healthcare organizations, doctors and companies.
In clinical medicine and in emergency medicine especially, is crucial to understand and manage the acid-base and electrolyte disorders. This text, the result of years of clinical and educational activity, is organized in three parts: acid-base balance, water and sodium and electrolytes. Clinical interpretation and therapy are discussed through clinical cases that are the main educational tools.
Cats are not small dogs and they are frequently forgotten in the literature. This book is intended to be an easy to use reference for practitioners and dermatology enthusiasts that only focuses on cats and their manifestations of skin disease.
This atlas compiles clinical cases and images of pathological conditions. It will be very helpful for any vet needing to recognise macroscopical and microscopical lesions in sheep.
In this book PNEI paradigm presents itself in its full extension: from the description of the historical and philosophical bases to the biological revolution underway; from the description of nervous, neuroendocrine, immune, and psychic systems and their reciprocal influences; to the modulation tools of the human network for preventive and therapeutic uses.
When unpredictable, catastrophic and disabling events happen into all sectors of the economy and social life, the impact of the change becomes immediate, with an acceleration of the processes that almost always leads to a concentration and restructuring of the activities. In our case of the dental offer. In the next future it will occur a physiological reduction of the dental offices that will be larger on average, organized, competitive, entrepreneurial. In this context matters relating to management and business economics should become part of the cultural heritage of dentists, at least those who run their own business.
How to “jump” in a full-mouth rehabilitation? Are we ready to leave the comfort zone of the “single tooth dentistry”? It is a different world… If we decide to do it. So many questions to be answered… How can we convince the patient to accept a more global rehabilitation? How can we plan the sequences of the appointments without remakes and waste of time? How can we guide the laboratory technician in developing a customized full-mouth project? Can we do first a reversible test drive of the project? The 3STEP has the answers to all these questions. The 3STEP is a non-invasive functional and esthetic stabilization of the mouth.

Growing investments in healthcare do not necessarily produce corresponding improvements in the perceived health of their recipients, whether individual patients or society as a whole. Sometimes, even the opposite is true: growing investments in healthcare lead to lower benefits perceived by patients. How to quantify the health regained by patients? How to measure what for does it really matter to them when physical health is not fully recoverable? How to help physicians and administrators identify the correct objectives and improvements? What scientific instruments can estimate the prospect of patients and society in allocating limited resources? The development of the Patient Reported Outcome Measurements (PROMs) helps answer many of these challenges.
