Continuando el estilo de sus previos libros, "El Sexo y el Paciente Cardiaco", "Contestando sus Preguntas sobre Padecimientos Cardiacos y el Sexo", y "CÓmo Evitar el Caerse Muerto: Una GuÍa para la PrevenciÓn de 201 Causas de Muerte SÚbita o RÁpida", el Dr. Eduardo Chapunoff nos sumerge ahora en el mundo complejo de las personas que sufren de obesidad mÓrbida. Esta obra describe cÓmo y por quÉ el sistema cardiovascular y otros sistemas del cuerpo humano llegan a afectarse por pesos corporales excesivos. Sus propias ilustraciones, simples y esquemÁticas, lo ayudarÁn a comprender cÓmo la obesidad mÓrbida causa infartos de miocardio, insuficiencia cardiaca, accidentes cerebro-vasculares, apnea obstructiva del sueÑo, y muchas otras condiciones, incluyendo la muerte sÚbita. Decisiones crÍticas son facilitadas por las explicaciones prÁcticas y realistas del Dr. Chapunoff. TambiÉn discute la inefectividad y el injusto enfoque de ciertas compaÑÍas de seguros en la cobertura de los gastos que incurre la cirugÍa bariatrÍca o cirugÍa de obesidad. Muchas personas que leerÁn este libro adquirirÁn un entendimiento de esta enfermedad muy distinto del que poseen en la actualidad.

This is the first text to systematically review the evidence for obstetric anesthesia and analgesia. Evidence-based practice is now being embraced worldwide as a requirement for all clinicians; in the everyday use of anesthesia and analgesia for childbirth, anesthetists will find this synthesis of the best evidence an invaluable resource to inform their practice. Contributions from anesthetic specialists trained in the skills of systematic reviewing provide a comprehensive and practical guide to best practice in normal and caesarean section childbirth. This book, coming from one of the world’s leading obstetric centers and the cradle of evidence-based medicine, is a much needed addition to the obstetric anesthesia literature.

To date, diet programs and medical therapies for the treatment of obesity have had limited success. Bariatric surgery, however, provides a means of effective weight loss for many of those with morbid obesity. Most of these weight loss procedures are performed with a variety of techniques that continue to evolve. Each technique is associated with unique challenges and complications and it is important for the clinician to be knowledgeable about the endoscopic management of these patients. Additionally, as endoscopic technology evolves it may offer more than just the diagnosis and treatment of complications. Endoscopic therapy may soon allow less invasive bariatric revision procedures as well as a variety of primary obesity therapies for various patient populations. Bariatric Endoscopy reviews the management of obesity, normal post-surgical anatomy, endoscopic and medical management of post-surgical complications, and future endoscopic therapies for obesity management. Organized into five sections, the volume covers an obesity overview, traditional therapy, endoscopy and the bariatric patient, medical management of post-surgical complications, and the future role of endoscopy in obesity management. Detailed illustrations are also provided for surgical procedures, complications and obesity management chapters. Authored by authorities in the field, Bariatric Endoscopy is an indispensible tool for the gastroenterologist or surgical endoscopist as they care for patients with complicated bariatric issues.
