Book Description
El uso de inmunoterapia para el tratamiento de neoplasias tanto sólidas como hematológicas es extenso. Los inhibidores del punto de control inmunitario en particular han demostrado ser promisorios en el tratamiento del melanoma, cáncer pulmonar no microcítico y otros tipos de cáncer. La mayor parte de los eventos adversos relacionados con el sistema inmunitario asociados con estos fármacos son leves a moderados, pero en ocasiones también se informan eventos adversos graves que ocasionalmente ponen en riesgo la vida. El manejo eficaz de los eventos adversos relacionados con el sistema inmunitario requiere un reconocimiento temprano, así como de la intervención pronta con esteroides, inmunosupresión y/o estrategias inmunomoduladoras apropiadas para el órgano afectado y la gravedad de la toxicidad. También es esencial educar a los pacientes sobre el potencial y el reconocimiento de estos eventos adversos. Con las inmunoterapias volviéndose cada vez más frecuentes y los profesionales de la salud familiarizándose más con los beneficios de combinar estrategias de inmunoterapia, surge una necesidad apremiante de contar con una guía para reconocer y manejar los eventos adversos relacionados con el sistema inmunitario que puedan surgir. Este recurso proporciona una revisión general de inmunooncología y una actualización sobre los inhibidores del punto de control inmunitario y sus toxicidades relacionadas, junto con los principios de diagnóstico y manejo de los eventos adversos relacionados con el sistema inmunitario, consideraciones importantes sobre el cuidado de enfermería y una serie de resúmenes de manejo convenientes para referencia rápida. Como tal, es una lectura esencial para todos los miembros del equipo de atención oncológica. Indice: • Inmunoterapia y sus efectos secundarios: una revisión general • Eventos adversos gastrointestinales y hepáticos • Eventos adversos dermatológicos • Eventos adversos relacionados con el sistema endocrino • Eventos adversos pulmonares • Eventos adversos menos frecuentes • Optimización de la atención al paciente y reconocimiento temprano de eventos adversos relacionados con el sistema inmunitario • Resúmenes de manejo

Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Humanity is aging. In the last century, life expectancy has increased by as much as 25 years, the greatest increase in 5'000 years of history. As a consequence the elderly constitute today the fastest growing segment of the world's population. This new situation creates many social problems and challenges to health care which both the developed as well as the developing countries will have to cope with. The present publication shows that scientific progress has reached a level where nutritional interventions may play a decisive part in the prevention of degenerative conditions of age, improvement of quality of life and impact on health care burden and resources. Topics deal with such different aspects as the influence of prenatal and early infant nutrition on the future aged individual and effects of energetic restriction on longevity. Further contributions include studies on mitochondrial alterations, digestive problems, specific metabolic deviations mediated by insulin, bone degradation, structural changes, neuromuscular dysfunctions, mental state of the elderly as well as the response of the immune system to nutrient intake. Finally the book offers a review of requirements appropriate to meet the age-related public health challenges of the 21st century.
