Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback, xi + 282 pages, NOT ex-library. Limited gentle wear, creased corner of one leaf, a bit of rubbing to the covers edges. Book is clean with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Creases to the upper spine. -- This clinical reference equips physicians with targeted antifungal strategies for critically ill and immunocompromised patients - translating emerging paradigms into actionable protocols to improve outcomes in high-mortality fungal infections. -- The book addresses invasive fungal infections in two highest-risk populations: patients with hematologic malignancies or bone marrow transplants, and those in intensive care units. It examines prophylactic and pre-emptive antifungal therapy in neutropenic onco-hematology patients, reviews clinical trials and diagnostic-therapeutic approaches in surgical ICU settings, and analyzes resistance mechanisms across three major drug classes - polyenes, azoles, and echinocandins. Dedicated sections detail pharmacokinetic interactions between antifungals and polypharmacy regimens common in these populations, covering azole and echinocandin-specific interaction profiles and their clinical implications. Chapters are structured around practical decision points: when to initiate prophylaxis versus pre-emptive therapy, how to interpret diagnostic uncertainty in critical care, and how to adjust regimens amid rising resistance or complex drug interactions. -- The book stands out for its clear, practice‑driven focus on managing fungal infections when patients are most vulnerable. Its guidance on drug selection, resistance, and interactions remains directly relevant as modern medicine relies more heavily on immunosuppressive therapies and intensive care. Clinicians in oncology, transplant, and critical‑care fields will value its concise strategies for minimizing risk, preventing complications, and improving survival in complex cases. -- Contents: Section 1: Antifungal strategies in hematologic malignancies -- Introduction; Pre-emptive antifungal therapy in neutropenic onco-hematology patients; Prophylactic antifungal therapy in neutropenic onco-hematology patients; Section 2: Antifungal strategies in critically ill patients -- Introduction; Clinical trials of antifungal prophylaxis in critically ill surgical patients; Pre-emptive antifungal therapy in critically ill surgical patients; Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to fungal infections in critical care settings: different options, but the same strategy; Section 3: Antifungal drug resistance -- Introduction; Amphotericin B resistance; Azole antifungal drug cross-resistance; Echinocandin antifungal drug resistance; Section 4: Drug-drug interactions of antifungal agents -- Introduction; Azole drug interactions; Drug interactions with echinocandins; Drug-drug interactions of antifungal agents and implications for patient care; Abbreviations; Index.…
