UNUSUAL SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS IN… SERIES Despite the introduction of innovative technologies and accurate laboratory techniques, an adequate anamnesis still remains the most important tool to make a correct diagnosis. When signs and symptoms described by the patients are unusual, the correct identification of the disease becomes a very hard challenge for the clinicians. These books aim at providing a support in the interpretation of the most unusual signs and symptoms that can be faced in the clinical practice. Each book collects 30 unusual symptoms that could be encountered by the clinicians. Each sign is described in concise way (one sign/one page): a full description of the symptoms as experienced by the patient is given, followed by its clinical meaning, the diagnosis and therapeutic approach. Unusual Signs and Symptoms in Internal Medicine 10 3 Fear of Drinking Water Hydrophobia (from the Greek, “fear of water”) is a typical symptom of rabies, a fatal pathology of the central nervous system transferred by some animals (dog, bat, coyote, fox, marmot, lynx, and others). Rabies is a viral infection transferred through the bite (saliva) of an animal infected by rhabdovirus. This is an RNA virus that spreads in a centripetal manner through the axoplasm of the peripheral nerves up to the central nervous system; here it replicates in the grey matter and then migrates in a centrifugal manner along the autonomic nervous system, reaching organs like salivary glands, adrenal glands, kidneys, lungs, liver, cutis, and heart. The incubation period ranges from 10 days to more than one year. The prodromal period is characterised by aspecific symptoms followed by the signs of the encephalitic phase, with derangement, aggressiveness, spasms, photophobia, and vocal cord paralysis. The subsequent manifestations, affecting the brain stem, may include optic neuritis, diplopia, and swallowing difficulty. Excessive salivation can give rise to the “frothing at the mouth” phenomenon: violent contractions of the diaphragm and of the pharyngeal and laryngeal muscles aroused by water intake (hydrophobia in the strict sense of the word). The involvement of the breath centres can provoke death by apnoea. The diagnosis is not easy (frequently postmortem) and a specific therapy does not exist.

Applied Epidemiology and Biostatistics Giuseppe La Torre • 17x24 cm; 400 pages • Includes downloadable software In the era of Evidence Based Medicine, health professionals are required to fully understand design, analysis and interpretation of the results of research. Furthermore, they should be able to assess the needs of their communities and respond accordingly. To achieve these goals, clinicians need to be familiar with the basic concepts of epidemiology and biostatistics. But epidemiology is more than “the study of.” Its application and practice are essential to address public health issues. That is why this book provides not only the theory, but also the opportunity of applying it in practice. In fact, each chapter presents one or more specific examples on how to perform an epidemiologic or statistical data analysis and includes download access to the software and databases, giving the reader the possibility of replicating the analyses described. The final purpose is, therefore, to introduce epidemiologic and biostatistical methods as applied to clinical research, and to develop proficiency with computer software for performing the analysis of clinical datasets. Chemotherapy regimens in rare solid tumors Alessandro Comandone • 11x16 cm; 146 pages • Sponsored edition: Sandoz Rare tumors (RT) are an increasing problem in oncology. The aim of this book is to offer a little help in spreading the knowledge of low-incidence tumors in oncology, in order to alert the nonexpert clinician to take them into consideration, and to show the most accredited and updated medical treatment for some of the rare oncologic diseases. This booklet is not conclusive, but we hope to give help in prescribing treatments for the main RT, underlining the need of a multidisciplinary approach in these tumours, as well as cooperation with the centers of expertise. For the sake of brevity and competence, only solid RT are included; for the lymphoproliferative or haematologic low-incidence diseases we refer to haematologists. Each chapter provides brief information about the epidemiology and clinical aspects for every RT; and, following each chemotherapy schedule, we report a short description of the haematologic toxicities related to the treatment. 7
