Textbook of Psychiatry for Intellectual Disability and Autism Spectrum Disorder
by Marco O. Bertelli Shoumitro Shoumi Deb Kerim Munir Angela Hassiotis Luis Salvador-CarullaThis textbook provides a state of the art of the knowledge on the prevalence, risk and etiological factors, clinical features, assessment procedures and tools, diagnostic criteria, treatment, and prognosis of the psychiatric disorders encountered in people with intellectual disability (ID) and low-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ID and ASD represent two meta-syndromic groups of several different conditions, each with particular cognitive and communication features. People with ID/ASD display an increased prevalence of a variety of psychiatric disorders, including psychotic disorders, mood disorders, anxiety and stress-related disorders, somatoform disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, as well behavioral syndromes, personality disorders, and disorders due to psychoactive substance use. This book will enable readers to understand the specificities of psychiatric disorders in the context of ID/ASD. It explains clearly how diagnostic criteria and assessment procedures for psychiatric disorders that were created for the general population have to be modified for use with ID/ASD. Above all, it will enable clinicians to overcome difficulties in diagnosis and to deliver more effective care that meets the particular needs of patients with ID/ASD.

Textbook of Rapid Response Systems: Concept and Implementation
by Michael A. DeVitaThe latest edition of this text is the go-to book and most authoritative source on Rapid Response Systems (RRS). Now in its fully revised and expanded third edition, Textbook of Rapid Response Systems remains the best-selling and most comprehensive book on the topic. The new edition contains over fifty chapters written by world-renowned experts in the field and over fifty percent new material. An entire new section of ten chapters was added on pediatric Rapid Response Systems, which includes important “how to” chapters on managing critical situations during pediatric rapid response calls. The previous edition had increased attention paid to patient safety and this edition expands that work. The utility of Rapid Response Systems for the management of dying patients has been questioned while at the same time there has been an increased knowledge base in the field. As a result, this edition contains two chapters on management for dying patients, for those patients with and those without “not for resuscitation” orders. This helps guide clinicians who are often ill-prepared medically and emotionally as they care for this important population of hospitalized patients. Written by experts in the field, this new edition is a valuable resource for medical practitioners, nurses, respiratory caregivers, safety experts, and hospital administrators who want to implement and improve a rapid response system.

Textbook of Robotic Liver Surgery
by Mathieu D’Hondt Iswanto SucandyAfter an initial slow diffusion of minimal invasive approaches in liver surgery, laparoscopy has now been implemented worldwide. This process has been sped up after several papers showed the superiority of laparoscopy over the open approach with regard to short-term outcomes. Before, the adaptation and diffusion of LLS was much slower compared to other general surgical specialties. The challenge in controlling major hemorrhage, the risk of gas embolism, the steepness of the learning curve and the uncertainty about oncological outcomes were barriers for the implementation of LLS. Nowadays, laparoscopic liver resections (LLR) are considered safe and feasible. The same evolution is seen in the diffusion of robotic liver surgery (RLS). The first reported robotic liver resection was published in 2003. Introduction of RLS has remained very slow compared to other subspecialties. This could be attributed to the complexity of minimally invasive liver surgery and the steep learning curve to overcome. Furthermore, the absence of instruments for parenchyma transection appeared to be a barrier for many surgeons to start RLS. Nowadays, Robotic liver surgery is in it's pioneering phase and limited to a few high volume centers. Furthermore data regarding the implementation of RLS are still scarce and the reproducibility of the implementation is still debated. This textbook will offer readers a useful overview of RLS state of the art, collecting the contributions of renowned robotic liver surgeons from Europe, Asia and the Americas. The editors will collaborate with a professional medical illustrator specialized in minimal invasive liver surgery to offer readers a visual experience of the most important surgical steps.
