| dr huff pain management: Guidebook to Low Back Pain Margaret Aranda, MD, 2021-02-26 Dr. Margaret Aranda's newest book is an important reference book for those suffering with intractable low back pain. Such pain leads most patients on a quest, undergoing multiple procedures to resolve the pain. You can understand what kinds of problems certain diagnoses have, and you and your doctor can work together to get your diagnosis. For example, if you had an epidural steroid injection, you may be suffering from a pain syndrome called spinal adhesive arachnoiditis (SAA). If your low back pain is heralded by 24/7 pain, this book is for you. If it is accompanied by burning pain, trouble urinating or passing stool, getting full fast after eating, headaches or migraines, dizziness after standing up, or difficulties having a libido or declining sex performance, this book is for you. If you had an epidural steroid injection that changed your life or are pregnant and thinking of having an epidural for labor pain, the same difficulties can affect you; this book is also for you. If you were highly flexible as a child and had back instrumentation by surgery or an epidural, you may be more prone to suffer subsequent deleterious effects, and this is a must-have book. This book is part of Dr. Aranda's Rebel Patient(TM) Series.Margaret Aranda, MD, PhD brings a unique mix of academia, research, personal experience, and clinical care to her seventh book. After graduating Keck USC School of Medicine, she did her anesthesiology residency and then a critical care Fellowship at Stanford. From there, she went on to become Chief of Anesthesiology at the Philadelphia VA Medical Center, as Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania in three departments: Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, Surgery and Traumatology, and Radiology. She then served our Veterans again at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center as Chief of the Surgical Intensive Care Unit, as Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology at UCLA School of Medicine.Dr. Aranda is a Stanford and Keck-USC trained physician with specialty training in anesthesiology and critical care. After recovery from a traumatic brain injury, she assumed a pain clinic and is a national referral center for failed back syndrome. The best news is that most patients are diagnosed with the same set of problems, making your future care streamlined and protocolized for a new lease on life.

In the first book to discuss the long lever technique, Bobby Nourani, DO, introduces a manual medicine treatment for treating somatic dysfunction, reducing pain, and manipulating the body for effective and efficient healing. Written for professionals--osteopaths, physicians, bodyworkers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, craniosacral therapists, and other practitioners who want to integrate osteopathic techniques into an existing practice--Long Lever Techniques focuses on how we can mobilize interconnected structures to positively restore the body to better health and function.

| dr huff pain management: Pain Imaging Maria Assunta Cova, Fulvio Stacul, 2019-03-06 This book addresses all pain imaging aspects related to both the central nervous system and the body (thorax, abdomen and pelvis), thus updating the international literature on the topic. By adopting a clinical-radiological approach and offering a comprehensive differential diagnosis for a number of painful syndromes (many of which can mimic one other), the work aims to support and enhance the diagnostic management of these patients, suggesting the most appropriate diagnostic algorithm. The book is divided into separate sections for each anatomical macro-area, and the chapters cover the respective topics from both clinical and radiological perspectives. Further, the book includes extensive electronic supplementary material.

| dr huff pain management: Handbook of Pain Syndromes Andrew R. Block, Ephrem Fernandez, Edwin Kremer, 2013-05-13 Pain syndromes involve a complex interaction of medical and psychological factors. In each syndrome unique physiological mechanisms are mediated by emotional states, personality traits, and environmental pressures to determine the nature and extent of pain complaints and pain-related disability. The Handbook addresses the complexities of chronic pain in three ways. Section I describes general concerns that cross-cut the different syndromes, such as the use of narcotic pain medications, the detection of deception and malingering, and the epidemiology of pain. Section II presents comprehensive reviews of a wide range of pain syndromes. Each covers basic pathophysiology, psychological factors found to influence the course of the syndrome, and syndrome-specific multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Most of the Section II chapters are coauthored by psychologists and physicians. Section III discusses pain in special populations, including the elderly and children. The Handbook is the most up-to-date, comprehensive, and integrated single-volume resource for all those professionally concerned with pain. |
| dr huff pain management: Clinical Management of Herpes Viruses Stephen L. Sacks, 1995 Much has been said about managing herpesvirus infections since the discovery of acyclovir more than 15 years ago. This book aims to bring practical advice to the key clinician who is faced with managing these infections. It addresses questions like: there are antiviral treatments for many of these infections, but who should be getting these drugs and who should not? What are the advantages, if any, of the new drugs over the old ones? Which patients should be targeted for intervention? What is the clinical reality of antiviral resistance? Where do the up and coming vaccines fit into the picture? When should therapy be discontinued or reassessed? How are patients presenting other than chorioretinitis in AIDS or pneumonitis in transplantation? The contributing clinician scientists deal with these questions and many more.

Oxman, 2017-04-04 Representing a state-of-the-art appraisal of this viral infection and its complications, this book comprises contributions from international authorities in infectious diseases, varicella-voster virus infections, and neuropathic pain. Important new information is presented on the role of the virus in terms of vascular risk, notably in heart attack, stroke and granulomatous angiitis (temporal arteritis). Similarly, new information on gastrointestinal involvement, often in the absence of rash and as seen with vasculopathies, is covered. The reader will benefit from new research into the pathology, pathophysiology and treatment of postherpetic neuralgia and its complications, and special attention is paid to prevention through zoster vaccination using the current zoster vaccine, and a novel, broader option that can be used in immunocompromised patients. This book follows the two editions of the book, Herpes Zoster and Postherpetic Neuralgia, and is divided into sections for the convenience of the reader. A section on herpes zoster includes epidemiology and natural history of the varicella zoster virus, herpes zoster ophthalmicus, neurological complications, the role of varicella zoster virus in giant cell arteritis, concern about increased vascular risk of heart attack and stroke, antiviral therapy, and treatment of skin manifestations. A section on postherpetic neuralgia includes important information on the effect of herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia on quality of life, the neuropathology and pathophysiological mechanisms in postherpetic neuralgia, and the new concept of persistent ganglionitis as the cause of postherpetic neuralgia. A comparison is made between facial postherpetic neuralgia and trigeminal neuralgia. There is an extensive section on treatment, including the role of opioids, the general treatment of postherpetic neuralgia, intervention and neurosurgical approaches, and covering guidelines for clinical trial designs in postherpetic neuralgia. A final section addresses the questions of whether aggressive treatment of acute herpes zoster can prevent postherpetic neuralgia and includes a critically important chapter on herpes zoster vaccines. |

| dr huff pain management: Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty Mark Frankle, Scott Marberry, Derek Pupello, 2015-10-20 Focusing exclusively on reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) techniques and devices, this plentifully illustrated text covers all aspects of this important and innovative treatment for shoulder pain and dysfunction. The book begins with a history of RSA followed by a thorough overview of the basic science and biomechanics of the shoulder. Indications for and clinical applications of RSA in a number of surgical interventions are then described, including the revision of failed shoulder arthroplasty, setting in cases of glenoid and humeral bone loss and rotator cuff tears. A whole section is then dedicated to various commercial devices with descriptive expert analysis of the design and implementation of each. An examination of the current economic value of RSA, including cost effectiveness and expected cost outcomes, comprises the final section. Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty can therefore be read either from start to finish, allowing orthopedic surgeons to appreciate the various perspectives offered, or by selecting specific topics of interest much like a “how-to manual” of either a particular device design or the treatment of a specific pathology. |

| dr huff pain management: Itch E. Carstens, Tasuku Akiyama, 2014-02-25 Advances in itch research have elucidated differences between itch and pain but have also blurred the distinction between them. There is a long debate about how somatic sensations including touch, pain, itch, and temperature sensitivity are encoded by the nervous system. Research suggests that each sensory modality is processed along a fixed, direct-line communication system from the skin to the brain. Itch: Mechanisms and Treatment presents a timely update on all aspects of itch research and the clinical treatment of itch that accompanies many dermatological conditions including psoriasis, neuropathic itch, cutaneous t-cells lymphomas, and systemic diseases such as kidney and liver disease and cancer. Composed of contributions from distinguished researchers around the world, the book explores topics such as: Neuropathic itch Peripheral neuronal mechanism of itch The role of PAR-2 in neuroimmune communication and itch Mrgprs as itch receptors The role of interleukin-31 and oncostatin M in itch and neuroimmune communication Spinal coding of itch and pain Spinal microcircuits and the regulation of itch Examining new findings on cellular and molecular mechanisms, the book is a compendium of the most current research on itch, its prevalence in society, and the problems associated with treatment. |

| dr huff pain management: A Brush With Mortality Caryl Hallberg, 2024-05-26 Suspense, Sexual Adventure, Mystery, Hot Flashes, and Death This character-driven novel encompasses psychological mystery and suspense in a genuinely unique manner with spoiler alerts every step of the journey. Themes related to sexuality, LGBTQ+, HIV/AIDS, hospice, infidelity, and a little kink are explored in a partially epistolary format, and in the subtle dialogue between Letty Mae and the characters with whom she interacts. By all outward appearances, she’s just a typical woman going through menopause at the turn of the 21st century. Living in a stale and distant marriage, her grown kids living their own lives, there is a psychological and sexual itch she hasn't felt in years that needs to be scratched. What are the secrets this Executive of a Hospice nonprofit keeps? Even she doesn’t know for sure – Set in the San Francisco Bay Area in the year 2000, her journey explores meaning through death, erotic adventure, mystery, and those thoughts and actions we’d rather keep hidden. Letty Mae searches for what it means to be a female over 50 when the new century’s reality does not fit your worldview. Luckily, she has a guide in the form of an elite bisexual patriarch who must, in the end, die. “I freaking adore this book. I love the story and there are so many subtle details throughout that lend incredible depth, whether to a single moment, a scene, or the story as a whole. Even the smallest things, like her headache easing a bit just from tossing her pantyhose—you don’t even realize what that truly meant in the moment, not until later… There are some truly beautiful realizations about life, death, love, and mortality that I think are really going to resonate with readers. His loss is tragic, but necessary, and he meets such a beautiful end. This is a novel that I highly recommend reading more than once. Returning to it a second—or even third—time, there is just so much to discover. And it sticks with you, long after you’ve put it down.” Dark Star Lit “If you like a dark twisty book with sexuality and LGBQTIA this book is for you.” Katharina Moroi (author) Wow! That is all I have to say... Tina Laurelli (Goodreads) |
