Your eating habits can be an important way to manage your health, especially if you have chronic kidney disease (CKD). You may need to change your eating habits, depending on how well your kidneys are working. Healthy kidneys remove waste products and fluids from your body. With CKD, your kidneys no longer do this.

- Abstract
- Your eating habits can be an important way to manage your health, especially if you have chronic kidney disease (CKD). You may need to change your eating habits, depending on how well your kidneys are working. Healthy kidneys remove waste products and fluids from your body. With CKD, your kidneys no longer do this. Following your nutrition guidelines are an important part of your treatment. Each person’s nutrition guidelines are different. Your guidelines are made just for you. Your guidelines will help to keep products (like potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and fluids) from building up in your body and making you sick. This pamphlet gives information about protein, sodium (salt), potassium, and phosphorus. It includes a sample meal plan, guidelines for measuring portions, and information about reading food labels, adding calories and flavour, and tips for controlling your fluid intake. Lists of high sodium and higher potassium foods to avoid are provided. An emergency meal plan and a grocery list are included.

Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a condition that can be caused by chronic kidney disease (CKD). It happens when your kidneys cannot filter out waste products the right way. This leads to too much parathyroid hormone in your blood. Cinacalcet (sin-a-KAL-cet) is a medication that lowers the amount of parathyroid hormone in your blood. This will help to balance the amount of calcium and phosphorous in your blood. Sensipar® is the brand name for cinacalcet. This pamphlet explains how to take cinac…

- Part 1 begins with a review of the human response to infection including key definitions and general concepts important in the field of vaccinology. Next, detailed chapters on currently available strategies that provide passive and active immune protection against infectious diseases are presented, including descriptions for how these biologic products are produced. Given the complexity of the manufacturing processes used in vaccine production and the frequency with which questions arise regarding the presence of various additives and excipients found in vaccines, a full chapter has been dedicated to the topic. Part 1 concludes with a chapter outlining the regulatory processes and timelines needed for the development and testing of new vaccine candidates. Part 2 of the book includes separate chapters on each of the 35 infections that are currently vaccine preventable. The chapters are presented in alphabetical order according to disease. The reader will find that certain terms and concepts important to the study of vaccines appear in many or even all of the chapters. Familiarity with the definition of several of these terms as they are used in vaccinology and in human clinical vaccine trials is key to developing an authoritative understanding of the field so they are introduced first here.

- Abstract
- The first edition of this publication was aimed at defining the current concepts of trauma induced coagulopathy by critically analyzing the most up-to-date studies from a clinical and basic science perspective. It served as a reference source for any clinician interested in reviewing the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of the coagulopathic trauma patient, and the data that supports it. By meticulously describing the methodology of most traditional as well as state of the art coagulation assays the reader is provided with a full understanding of the tests that are used to study trauma induced coagulopathy. With the growing interest in understanding and managing coagulation in trauma, this second edition has been expanded to 46 chapters from its original 35 to incorporate the massive global efforts in understanding, diagnosing, and treating trauma induced coagulopathy. The evolving use of blood products as well as recently introduced hemostatic medications is reviewed in detail. The text provides therapeutic strategies to treat specific coagulation abnormalities following severe injury, which goes beyond the first edition that largely was based on describing the mechanisms causing coagulation abnormalities. Trauma Induced Coagulopathy 2nd Edition is a valuable reference to clinicians that are faced with specific clinical challenges when managing coagulopathy.

- Abstract
- This handbook is the most authoritative and up-to-date reference on spine technology written for practitioners, researchers, and students in bioengineering and clinical medicine. It is the first resource to provide a road map of both the history of the field and its future by documenting the poor clinical outcomes and failed spinal implants that contributed to problematic patient outcomes, as well as the technologies that are currently leading the way towards positive clinical outcomes. The contributors are leading authorities in the fields of engineering and clinical medicine and represent academia, industry, and international government and regulatory agencies. The chapters are split into five sections, with the first addressing clinical issues such as anatomy, pathology, oncology, trauma, diagnosis, and imaging studies. The second section, on biomechanics, delves into fixation devices, the bone implant interface, total disc replacements, injury mechanics, and more. The last three sections, on technology, are divided into materials, commercialized products, and surgery. All appropriate chapters will be continually updated and available on the publisher’s website, in order to keep this important reference as up-to-date as possible in a fast-moving field.
- Contents
- Adjacent-Level Disease: Fact and Fiction -- Allograft Use in Modern Spinal Surgery -- Cervical Total Disc Replacement: Biomechanics - Cervical Total Disc Replacement: Expanded Indications -- Cervical Total Disc Replacement: Technique – Pitfalls and Pearls -- Implant Material Bio-compatibility, Sensitivity, and Allergic Reactions -- Low Back Patterns of Pain: Classification Based on Clinical Presentation -- Lumbar TDR Revision Strategies -- Replacing the Nucleus Pulposus for Degenerative Disc Disease and Disc Herniation: Disc Preservation Following Discectomy -- Spinal Fusion Evaluation in Various Settings: A Summary of Human-Only Studies.
