Abstract

Chronic Disease Management presents primary care clinicians and allied health professionals with helpful ways to care for patients with conditions such as diabetes, asthma, congestive heart failure, and chronic pain. To effectively and efficiently provide care for patients with chronic diseases, a professional must learn proven methods for treating the most common conditions that they see in daily practice. Jim Nuovo, MD, handpicked internationally renowned contributors to ensure that the clearly written guide is a valuable tool for all health professionals who treat chronic diseases. Visit templates for providers, detailing what patient data should be collected and measured during office visits, are one of the many benefits the reader will take away. Other innovative approaches, including registry development, group visits, and shared medical appointments are detailed as well. Emphasis is placed on the use of action plans and educational resources for promoting patient self-management. Chapters are structured to help physicians quickly adopt evidence-based management techniques specific for each condition, such as the implementation of medical regimens.

Abstract

Covering all aspects of thyroid cancer, including nodules, pathology, thyroid and whole-body scans, ultrasounds, and other nuclear medicine and radiological studies, as well as follow-up testing and prognosis, Thyroid Cancer in Clinical Practice addresses important issues that physicians should cover when dealing with their patients. It also tackles the treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer (the commonest variety) and all aspects of management including surgery, the role and logistics of radioactive iodine and long-term prescription of thyroid hormone. The management of thyroid cancer in adults, children and pregnant women are covered separately. The book also includes images and up-to-date procedures such as fused Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) images. This pocket-sized book provides an easily accessible source of information to supplement existing large texts and provide a handy reference for everyday use for physicians, including primary care doctors, practitioners and trainees in endocrinology, nuclear medicine, oncology, surgery, including otolaryngology, radiation and medical oncology, and internal medicine. It is also a substantial resource for patients with thyroid cancer as well as residents, medical students, and nurse practitioners.
