Abstract:
Le malattie cardiovascolari rappresentano un’area clinica in cui maggiormente si avverte la necessità dello sviluppo di risposte assistenziali efficaci e sostenibili, nel cui ambito lo specialista deve svolgere un ruolo determinante, contribuendo a mettere in atto strategie gestionali condivise dalle diverse professionalità sanitarie e sostenute a livello istituzionale. I 200 casi clinici riportati dal progetto RIARTE sono, senza dubbio, una fotografia fedele, reale e pratica della realtà clinica in Italia per quanto attiene alle due categorie osservate: pazienti con rischio cardio e cerebrovascolare superiore al 20% secondo le tabelle del rischio SCORE e pazienti con ipertensione di difficile controllo. In entrambi i casi clinici l’adozione, nelle misure farmacologiche, della terapia a base di calcio-antagonisti diidropiridinici è apparsa efficace, sicura, di facile associazione con altre terapie e caratterizzata da un rapporto costo-efficacia particolarmente favorevole.

Abstract:
Ovarian cancer, the most aggressive gynecological malignancy, presents at advanced stages with metastatic disease. Diagnosis at an early stage is the most important determinant of survival; however, the majority of patients are asymptomatic at early stages and the current diagnostic tools used in clinics show limited success in early detection and hence the need for new diagnostic biomarkers. With the advance of techniques in genomic and proteomics, numerous biomarkers are emerging which may serve as a platform for early detection of ovarian cancer. These include gene-, protein-, miRNAs, and metabolite- based biomarkers. Examples of gene-based biomarkers include HE4, FLOR1, p16INK4a, BRCA1, BRCA2, MLH1, and MSH2. Protein- based biomarkers include leptin, prolactin, osteopontin, IGF-II, and MIF. This chapter discusses the serum tumor markers (CA-125) in current use for screening, diagnosis and monitoring of ovarian cancer as well as the novel biomarkers that are under investigation and validation.

Abstract:
More than 40 inherited metabolic disorders cause heart disease, including fatty acid oxidation defects, glycogen storage disorders, lysosomal storage disorders, peroxisomal diseases, mitochondrial cytopathies, organic acidemias, aminoacidopathies, and congenital disorders of glycosylation. The pattern and severity of cardiac involvement varies between disorders but includes congenital heart diseases, heart muscle diseases, arrhythmias and sudden death, and heart failure. The majority of IMDs are multisystem diseases, but in a few cases cardiac disease is the predominant clinical feature and the main determinant of prognosis. For an increasing number of IEMs there are specific therapies designed to treat or ameliorate the effects of the underlying metabolic defect. In some cases, these therapies have an important effect on the progression of cardiac disease.

Abstract:
This chapter covers the principal haematological disorders and their implications for anaesthesia. Haemoglobin concentration is the main determinant of oxygen delivery to the tissues making anaemia a potential concern for the anaesthetist. In deciding whether to correct anaemia with a red blood cell transfusion, the anaesthetist must consider the nature of the surgery and the underling cause of the anaemia as well as the haemoglobin concentration. Techniques to limit the need for blood transfusion and the complications of transfusion are discussed. Perfect haemostasis means control of bleeding without the occurrence of thrombotic events. Coagulation management requires an understanding of this balance and the knowledge that altered coagulation activity may result in clinically relevant bleeding or, in contrast, thrombosis. Therefore, the key in haemostasis is an understanding that every anticoagulant action enhances the risk of bleeding and every procoagulant action enhances the risk of thrombosis. If a specific defect in the haemostatic system is known, treatment is tailored to restore this defect. However, tests to predict surgical bleeding do not exist, as it is for test to predict thrombotic events. The strengths and limitations of coagulation tests should be appreciated before they are used to assist clinical decision-making in the perioperative period. An excellent coagulation test is the clinical field (i.e. the surgical wound). If there are abnormalities in the coagulation tests without clinical bleeding, a correction is hardly necessary. In patients taking anticoagulant medication, consideration must be given on an individual patient basis, to the relative risks of continuing (bleeding) or stopping (thrombotic events) the medication.

Abstract:
The majority of bladder stones in Western practice are secondary to underlying pathology—bladder outlet obstruction due to benign prostatic enlargement in men and urethral obstruction from pelvic prolapse or cystocele in women, chronic infection in the neuropathic or augmented bladder, or in the neobladder. While the pathology of endemic bladder stones remains as it always was, the advent of augmentation cystoplasty and rising use of the neobladder after cystectomy has, through a different pathological mechanism, led to a rise in frequency of bladder stones. The mode of presentation of bladder stones and diagnostic technique are reviewed in this chapter. Treatment options are determined, to a significant degree, by the clinical context in which the stone arise, the major determinant of the approach to such stones being the calibre of the conduit (urethra or Mitrofanoff) through which access to the bladder is achieved.

Abstract:
The incidence of acute pancreatitis continues to increase, but the attendant mortality has not decreased for >30 years. The pathogenesis remains poorly understood, but the initial mechanism appears to be intracellular activation of pancreatic enzymes, with micro- and macrovascular dysfunction, in conjunction with a systemic inflammatory response acting as a key propagating factor and determinant of severity. A multitude of causes or initiators exist, but there is a common pathophysiological pathway. The use of conventional scoring systems, combined with repeated clinical and laboratory assessment, remain the optimal method of predicting early severity and organ dysfunction. Death occurs in a biphasic pattern with early mortality (<2 weeks) secondary to SIRS and MODS; and late deaths (>2 weeks) due to superinfection of pancreatic necrosis. Assessment of severity should reflect this, with early severity being diagnosed in the presence of organ failure for >48 hours, and late severity defined by the presence of pancreatic and peri-pancreatic complications on CT or other appropriate imaging modalities.

Abstract:
One of the critical challenges in relationship science is translating the “science” of relationship research into the “practice” of clinical intervention. One of the major issues in this challenge is determining when something “works” or, more specifically, identifying the central criteria from which to evaluate the findings of research and determine that an intervention is ready for clinical use. This seemingly simple task is complex given that relationship science research is based on the interaction among client factors, therapeutic influence, and specific change mechanisms that lead to measurable outcomes in couple and family therapy (CFT). As a result of the complexity, determining what works can no longer be accomplished by literature reviews or meta-analyses alone. Determining what works in a clinically useful way is an important task because if clinicians are to use research it must be evaluated on components that are both methodologically sound and clinically useful. We suggest that treatment guidelines have the potential to reliably distinguish varying levels of evidence and effectively disseminate this information to practitioners, serving to close the gap between practice and research in relationship science. Thus, treatment guidelines offer a “vehicle” to move research into practice.

Full text
Abstract:
Once understood as useful but optional, case conceptualization is now considered essential and one of the most important of all clinical skills and competencies. As clinicians look for resources to assist in learning and mastering this competency, they must choose among different case conceptualization approaches. They would do well to give serious consideration to those that are both clinically effective and clinician friendly. A truly clinically effective approach explains and guides treatment, and most importantly, predicts challenges and obstacles that are likely to arise over the course of treatment. Most approaches emphasize the functions of explanation and guiding treatment, but seldom include third function which help anticipates likely challenges, which if not proactively addressed are likely to result in therapy interference or premature termination. This function is essential in determining the course and overall effectiveness of therapy. A truly clinician-friendly approach is one that is quick to use and easy to master, and very few approaches can make this claim. The 15 Minute Case Conceptualization is the only approach that is both highly effective and clinician friendly. Research confirms that such case conceptualizations can be completed in only 15 minutes. It is an evidence-based, step-by-step approach that therapists and other mental health professionals need and want.

Abstract:
Postoperative and acute pain remains uncontrolled in many instances, leading to the risk of development of chronic pain syndromes. After tissue damage, activation of postsynaptic NMDA receptors, also induced by opioid administration, plays a key role in postoperative pain sensitization, allodynia, and hyperalgesia. Pain intensity may depend on sex, age, anxiety, and genetic factors but in clinical practice, surgical procedure is the main determinant of pain, although pain may vary from one patient to one another. Serial pain measurements are mandatory to assess pain intensity and to guide pain treatment. They are based on unidimensional simple pain scales. Multimodal analgesia combining opioid and non-opioid agent and regional block or infiltration is the rule postoperatively, although evidence is sometimes lacking to support all the combinations commonly used. Opioids should be used on demand while other agents are administered systematically. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs decrease opioid demand as well as paracetamol although to a less extend. Antihyperalgesic agents including NMDA blockers (ketamine) and α‎2-δ‎ ligands (gabapentin, pregabalin) have an opioid-sparing effect and may prevent the occurrence of chronic pain syndrome after surgery. Regional blocks and infiltration provide good quality analgesia but the balance between advantages and drawbacks of central block need to be evaluated carefully for each surgical procedure.

Abstract:
A clinical trial is a research study that assigns people or groups to different interventions and compares the impact of these on health outcomes. This chapter examines the design and delivery of clinical trials in anaesthesia and perioperative medicine covering the issues outlined below. The features of a high-quality clinical trial include well-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, a control group, randomization, and blinding. Outcome measures may be broadly divided into counting the number of people who experience an outcome and taking measurements on people. The outcome measures selected for a clinical trial reflect the purpose of the study and may include ‘true’ clinical measures such as major postoperative complications or surrogate measures such as the results of a biochemical test. Outcome measures may be combined in a composite outcome. Assessment of health-related quality of life using a tool such as the SF-36 questionnaire is an important aspect of many clinical trials in its own right and also informs the economic analyses that may be embedded in a trial. Determining the number for recruits needed for a clinical trial requires both clinical and statistical insight and judgement. The analysis of a clinical trial requires a similarly sophisticated approach that takes into account the objectives of the study and balances the need for appropriate subgroup analyses with the risk of false-positive results. The safe and effective management of a clinical trial requires rigorous organizational discipline and an understanding of the ethical and regulatory structures that govern clinical research.

Abstract:
Patients exhibiting violent or suicidal behavior have psychiatric symptoms varying along a spectrum of risk, from minimal to fatal. Evidence supports screening patients for intimate partner violence and suicide risk. Clinical care focuses on establishing a team and a working alliance, determining the “Why now?” of dangerousness, and using clinical judgments, risk assessment tools, a critical pathway, and a risk registry. Clinical care includes assessment of (1) violent or suicidal ideation, (2) recent dangerous behaviors, (3) past history of risky behaviors, (4) support system, (5) substance use, (6) cooperation with treatment, and (7) clinician reactions (8) diagnosis of medical and neurologic comorbidities. A multidisciplinary team can optimally manage these patients by deciding on the level of care needed for each problem or episode. Care can be delivered by using a practice registry and a critical pathway and focusing care on psychotherapy, with medications as needed. Steps are outlined for managing intimate partner violence.

Full text
Abstract:
The vasculitides are a group of conditions characterized by inflammation and necrosis of blood vessels; they are generally of unknown aetiology. The classification of vasculitides is based on the size of vessel involved and whether there is a known cause (secondary) or not (primary). This approach has stood the test of time. The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) in 1990 produced classification criteria for the major types of vasculitis and in 1994 definitions were promulgated by the Chapel Hill Consensus Conference. These did not include anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCA) and the ACR scheme did not include microscopic polyangiitis. The definitions have recently been updated to include modern concepts of pathogenesis including ANCA. No validated diagnostic criteria are available for routine clinical practice. The diagnosis of vasculitis requires a high index of suspicion, especially in the systemically unwell patient with multiorgan involvement. The key to diagnosis is a detailed and systematic approach to patient assessment involving all potentially involved organs. In a patient with suspected vasculitis immediate urinalysis is mandatory as the severity of renal involvement at presentation is a major determinant of outcome. Each potentially involved organ should be comprehensively evaluated. Tissue biopsy should be obtained whenever possible, as treatment is potentially toxic using glucocorticoids combined with cytotoxic agents. Biopsy should not, however, delay initiation of treatment. Potential alternative diagnosis should be considered, especially infection and malignancy, and excluded whenever possible.

Abstract:
Haemodynamic instability in acute cardiac care may be related to various mechanisms, including hypovolaemia and heart and/or vascular dysfunction. Although acute heart failure patients are often admitted for dyspnoea, many mechanisms can be involved, including left ventricular diastolic and/or systolic dysfunction and/or right ventricular dysfunction. Many epidemiological studies show that clinical signs at admission, morbidity, and mortality differ between the main scenarios of acute heart failure: left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, right ventricular dysfunction, and cardiogenic shock. Although echocardiography often helps to assess the mechanism of cardiac dysfunction, it cannot be considered as a monitoring tool. In some cases (in particular, in cases of refractory shock secondary to both vascular and heart dysfunction or in cases of refractory haemodynamic instability associated with severe hypoxaemia), pulmonary artery catheter can help to assess and monitor cardiovascular status and to evaluate response to treatments. Last, macro- and microvascular dysfunctions are also important determinants of haemodynamic instability.

This chapter discusses laboratory regulations pertinent to the type of genetic testing offered and specimens received in the laboratory. The goal is to help the laboratory genetic counselor understand the regulatory oversight of genetic testing and the quality management of clinical laboratory operations.

These essays outline a clinical and research agenda for professionals dealing with clergy sexual abuse. They should enable research clinical professionals, and clergy to identify the relevant issues in the identification, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of child and adolescent sexual abuse committed by Roman Catholic priests. Leading experts in the field from the United States and Canada have offered their different perspectives on this compelling problem including victim profiles for determining who is at risk.
