Abstract:
Chapter 4 examines the advancing field of mental health and psychosomatic disease from preconception to the postpartum period. The reader is reminded of the normal adaptation of different organ systems to pregnancy. This adaptation affects both physical and emotional functioning, and is further modified by the pregnant woman's social circumstances. The transition to the pathological or diseased condition may follow an exaggeration of the physiological alterations or could occur due to health conditions specific to pregnancy. This may result in manifestations due to mind-body interactions that cause psychosomatic disease. Common and unfamiliar psychosomatic clinical conditions associated with childbearing such as anxiety and mood disorders, eating disorders, hyperemesis gravidarum, and substance misuse are discussed, along with the unfamiliar, such as schizophrenia and seizures. Pregnancy-related acute-on-chronic psychosomatic presentations, besides those arising de novo in labour, are illustrated by vignettes representing real-life encounters. Controversies in management are debated to acquaint the less familiar with these clinical challenges, which require patient-centred care. Promoting health during childbearing not only pertains to the health of the mother, but also to the well-being of her infant. This entails concomitant attention to both in order to enhance the physical, mental and social health of the mother-infant dyad. An urgency for improved understanding of biopsychosocial initiating factors is reflected in an UK surveillance report, `Saving Lives Improving Mother's Care: It confirms the continuing fall in fatalities from 'direct' pregnancy-related physical causes, but a rise due to under-recognition of 'indirect' psychiatric causes that represent the psychosomatic interface.

Abstract:
Retrieval services operate across many parts of the health system, and interface with many organizations. The work that is performed is complex, high risk, and resource consuming. It is therefore imperative that robust clinical and corporate governance systems are in place, and that these systems are tested, credentialed, and monitored where possible. Governance systems are the cornerstones of a high performance health organization, and are the foundation of excellent clinical outcomes, patient and stakeholder satisfaction, and safety and quality at all levels. The key elements of governance systems for retrieval services are described in this chapter.

Abstract:
Clinicians regularly face ethical dilemmas that challenge their personal and professional boundaries, such as accepting gifts, interacting with patients or evaluees in social settings, and managing differing expectations of patients and evaluees. This chapter describes how various ethical theories and models, such as principlism, virtue theory, deontology, consequentialism, communitarian ethics, narrative ethics, and boundary models, can be applied to assist physicians, therapists, social workers, and other clinicians whose practice brings them to the interface of mental health and the law. It addresses some aspects of clinical practice in which the expectations of the evaluee or clinician may not coincide with the expectations of the law. It describes a modern professionalism that integrates the various ethical approaches and offers the greatest likelihood of success in negotiating the complex issues arising at the interface of mental health practice and the law while incorporating sensitivity to culture, language, gender, and prior experiences.

Abstract:
War and conflict have long been associated with improvements in medical care. The recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq have been no exception. The high tempo of operations has presented the United Kingdom’s Defence Medical Services (DMS) with the need to care for injured service personnel and local nationals with highly complex patterns of injury. Patients have presented to the DMS with injuries not commonly encountered in civilian practice—typically the result of blast and ballistic mechanisms. The deployed anaesthetist is involved in all stages of the patient pathway from point of wounding to the emergency department, through the resuscitative period encompassed by the damage control construct; to the critical care delivered on the ground and in the air and finally back in the United Kingdom at the interface with the civilian National Health Service. The high quality of care delivered in association with rigorous clinical audit and research including laboratory physical science, has produced developments that not only impact on military outcomes, but which are being introduced in wider civilian practice. This chapter covers all these areas from first principles to the management of pain and advances in the understanding of coagulopathy.

Abstract:
This chapter surveys an interface of growing interest to clinicians and patients, from four points of view. First, it explores the growing dialogue between Buddhism and modern psychology, tracing it to a surprising complementarity in ideas and methods. Second, it shines light on the distinctiveness between Buddhist and modern psychology, exploring the religious and ethical aspects of Buddhism neglected by many proponents of dialogue. Third, it reviews key areas of potential conflict, where clinicians may helpfully challenge Buddhist patients to reconsider their understanding and practice of Buddhism. Fourth, it surveys key areas of potential contribution, where mental health researchers, clinicians, and patients may benefit from studying Buddhist theories or applying Buddhist methods.

Abstract:
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease resulting in an impaired mucociliary clearance, chronic bacterial airway infection, and inflammation. The progressive destruction of the lungs is the main cause of morbidity and premature death. Diverse other organ systems such as heart, muscles, bones, gastro-intestinal tract, and sweat glands are often also affected and interfere with exercise capacity. Hence, exercise capacity is reduced as the disease progresses mainly due to reduced functioning of the muscles, heart, and/or lungs. Although there is still growing evidence of positive effects of exercise training in CF on exercise capacity, decline of pulmonary function, and health-related quality of life, the observed effects are encouraging and exercise should be implemented in all patient care. More research is needed to understand pathophysiological mechanisms of exercise limitations and to find optimal exercise modalities to slow down disease progression, predict long-term adherence, and improve health-related quality of life.

Abstract:
The clinical issues at the interface of ethics, religion/spirituality, and child and adolescent psychiatry are limitless. This chapter seeks to help fill the void in the literature concerning ethics, religion/spirituality, and child mental health in a way that is most helpful to practicing clinicians struggling with these issues in their daily clinical contacts. Three specific areas are addressed that commonly present challenges: (1) religious/spiritual objections to psychiatric care; (2) ethical issues surrounding the clinician’s relationship with children and families; and (3) ethical issues that may arise when mental health clinicians work with religious/spiritual professionals and institutions. Implications of religious and cultural diversity for both patients and clinicians are also discussed throughout the chapter.

Abstract:
This chapter deals with patients who have a psychological or behavioral factor that is adversely influencing their medical condition. These factors include psychological distress, interpersonal problems, coping styles, and maladaptive health behaviors. It is important to remember that regression is a nearly universal psychological reaction to being ill. Responses to a physical illness are affected by patients’ personality traits. The role of stress should be taken into account in the treatment of patients with medical conditions. Living with a chronic physical illness, including chronic pain, presents a psychological challenge for patients and their families. Secondary gain can interfere with motivation for recovery.

Abstract:
Extensive research has shown that cancer, and the treatment thereof, can interfere with healthy sexual functioning. Indeed, sexual dysfunction is frequently cited as one of the top adverse effects of cancer treatment. However, while healthcare professionals routinely discuss quality-of-life issues with cancer patients, the literature suggest that too often this does not include an assessment of sexual concerns. This chapter explains how the responsibility to initiate discussion on sexuality rests with the healthcare professional. Establishing the sexuality information needs of the cancer patient can sometimes be difficult and it becomes more so when healthcare professionals make erroneous assumptions concerning sexuality. Whether or not to assess sexuality is no longer a question, it must be a routine part of cancer care. While there are several different intervention models for patients suffering from sexual difficulties, the PLISSIT model is frequently used in cancer centres and easily adapted to various types of practice.

Abstract:
Policies that prohibit manufacturers from charging high prices for drugs potentially hinder patients’ access to drugs. Popular concerns about high drug prices cannot generally justify policies that interfere with voluntary exchanges between patients and pharmaceutical manufacturers because the pharmaceutical industry is normatively different from other industries. And even if drug manufacturers did have special duties to promote patients’ health, such duties could not justify limits on drug prices. Intellectual property protections also consist in government interference with voluntary transactions between patients and manufacturers. Whether this form of interference is justified will depend on whether intellectual property laws benefit patients more than alternative systems or whether patents protect producers’ rights.

Abstract:
Technologic advancements and other innovative efforts to improve the quality of hospital-based care have resulted in large and complicated networks of personnel, information systems, devices, medications, and countless other resources. In parallel with these changes, the medical acuity of the typical hospitalized patient has increased. The field of hospital medicine emerged in response to this combination of increasing hospital complexity, patient acuity, and professional demands. This chapter highlights several topics that may be unique to the hospital and are not discussed elsewhere in this textbook. They include interfaces among settings and people in the hospital, medication reconciliation, dismissal from the hospital, information systems, nutritional assessment and provision, geriatric assessment, complications of hospitalization, hospital-acquired infections, complications of surgery, the quality and safety movements, bioterrorism, and risks to health care workers.

Abstract:
Female patients undergoing treatment for cancer often experience significant changes in their sexuality due to the disease and its treatment. Sexuality relates to the sexual habits and desires of each individual. It varies according to age-related sexual needs. Many women with cancer consider their sexuality an important aspect of their lives. Yet, they may refrain from sex or enjoy it less following treatment, whether it be surgical or by irradiation, and accompanied by adjunctive chemotherapy or hormonal therapy. Chapter 11 discusses these issues, with a vignette illustrating the impact of an unexpected diagnosis of cancer. Multiple studies have examined sexual dysfunction following treatment of gynaecological cancers, including breast cancer, and several proposed solutions are available. However, the information has not been implemented by many health providers, and patients often experience anxiety and embarrassment when planning to discuss sexuality. The patients may be concerned that their sexual habits might interfere with the treatment outcome, and cause a recurrence of cancer. Reproductive dysfunction is only one of the manifold problems in the female undergoing cancer therapy. It can lead to infertility but certain treatment methods could help retain fertility. Ethical concerns pertaining to the preservation, and use of germ cells, need to be addressed. Ideally, a team of healthcare providers should handle sexual rehabilitation of the cancer survivor based on the patient's history. Unfamiliarity with such matters makes many medical professionals hesitant in discussing their patients' sexuality. The PLISSIT model can help initiate the assessment of sexual dysfunction in these patients.

Abstract:
The transplantation community endorses controlled and uncontrolled non-heart-beating organ donation (NHBD) to increase the supply of transplantable organs at end of life. Cardiac arrest must occur within 1–2 hours after the withdrawal of life-support in controlled NHBD. Uncontrolled NHBD is performed after failed cardiopulmonary resuscitation in an unexpected witnessed cardiac arrest. Donor management aims to protect transplantable organs against warm ischaemic injury through the optimization of haemodynamics and mechanical ventilation. This also requires antemortem instrumentation and systemic anticoagulation for organ perseveration in controlled NHBD. Interval support with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or cardiopulmonary bypass is generally required for optimal organ perfusion and oxygenation in uncontrolled NHBD, which remains a controversial medical practice. There are several unresolved ethical challenges. The circulatory criterion of 2–10 minutes of absent arterial pulse does not comply with the uniform determination of death criterion of the irreversible cessation of functions of the cardiovascular or central nervous systems. There are no robust safeguards in clinical practice that can prevent faulty prognostication, and premature withdrawal of treatment or termination of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Unmanaged conflicting interests of increasing the supply of transplantable organs can have serious consequences on the medical care of potentially salvageable patients. Perimortem interventions can interfere with the delivery of an optimal quality of end-of-life care. The lack of disclosure of these NHBD ethical controversies does not uphold the moral obligation for an informed consent.
