Trombocitopenia Thrombocytopenia Edited by Pankaj Abrol, ISBN 978-953-51-3876-1, Print ISBN 978-953-51-3875-4, 104 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published March 07, 2018 under CC BY 3.0 license DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.69080 Edited Volume The book "Thrombocytopenia" certainly raises some important issues in its pathogenesis and management. The authors have done a lot of hard work to write state-of-the-art chapters. Each and every chapter is peer-reviewed, evidence-based, and remarkably excellent. Some of the causes of thrombocytopenia are well explained in textbooks, but the topics included in this book are not usually so well described. The chapters are written in such a manner so as to stimulate and keep the reader well-informed. Such an approach is certainly beneficial when aiming to motivate discussion, interaction, innovation, and research. Chapters like "Interferon-Induced Thrombotic Microangiopathy" have been included with the aim to help in understanding the immune pathogenesis of thrombocytopenia. Others have also been selected to keep an eye on the future. Libro / Book / Buchen La fisiopatología de las plaquetas sanguíneas y la sepsis: ¿una nueva perspectiva terapéutica en pacientes críticos?

Author information Erratum in Correction to: Blood platelets and sepsis pathophysiology: A new therapeutic prospect in critically ill patients? [Ann Intensive Care. 2018] Ann Intensive Care. 2017 Dec 1;7(1):115. doi: 10.1186/s13613-017-0337-7. Abstract Beyond haemostasis, platelets have emerged as versatile effectors of the immune response. The contribution of platelets in inflammation, tissue integrity and defence against infections has considerably widened the spectrum of their role in health and disease. Here, we propose a narrative review that first describes these new platelet attributes. We then examine their relevance to microcirculatory alterations in multi-organ dysfunction, a major sepsis complication. Rapid progresses that are made on the knowledge of novel platelet functions should improve the understanding of thrombocytopenia, a common condition and a predictor of adverse outcome in sepsis, and may provide potential avenues for management and therapy.

Libro sobre seguridad del paciente / Book on patient safety

Septiembre 15, 2017. No. 2812

Viñetas en la seguridad de pacientes. Volumen 1 Se reconoce claramente que los errores médicos representan una fuente importante de morbilidad y mortalidad evitables relacionadas con la atención médica. Además, la evidencia demuestra que tales complicaciones son a menudo el resultado de una serie de errores pequeños, oportunidades perdidas, mala comunicación, cambios en guías establecidas o protocolos, o deficiencias en el sistema. Mientras que tales acontecimientos a menudo comienzan con las desventuras de un individuo, es cómo se manejan tales eventos que pueden determinar los resultados y esperanzadamente prevenir eventos adversos futuros. El objetivo de Viñetas en Seguridad del Paciente es ilustrar y discutir, en un formato clínicamente relevante, ejemplos en los cuales los enfoques basados en la evidencia para la atención del paciente, utilizando metodologías establecidas para desarrollar equipos multidisciplinarios altamente funcionales, pueden ayudar a fomentar una cultura institucional de seguridad del paciente y atención de alta calidad. Vignettes in Patient Safety - Volume 1 Edited by Michael S. Firstenberg and Stanislaw P. Stawicki, ISBN 978-953-51-3520-3, Print ISBN 978-953-51-3519-7, 186 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published September 13, 2017 under CC BY 3.0 license Edited Volume It is clearly recognized that medical errors represent a significant source of preventable healthcare-related morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, evidence shows that such complications are often the result of a series of smaller errors, missed opportunities, poor communication, breakdowns in established guidelines or protocols, or system-based deficiencies. While such events often start with the misadventures of an individual, it is how such events are managed that can determine outcomes and hopefully prevent future adverse events. The goal of Vignettes in Patient Safety is to illustrate and discuss, in a clinically relevant format, examples in which evidence-based approaches to patient care, using established methodologies to develop highly functional multidisciplinary teams, can help foster an institutional culture of patient safety and high-quality care delivery.
