A PHYSICIAN'S GUIDE for EXPERT WITNESSING
by Reda A. Abdel-Fattah, DDS
An excellent guide and source of vital information for the health-care professional called upon to provide expert testimony in personal injury litigation.
Recognizing that participation of the physician is rarely a matter of choice, it helps the health care professional to better understand important aspects of the legal system and achieve the goal of fair and wise participation.
EVALUATING and MANAGING TEMPOROMANDIBULAR INJURIES
by Reda A. Abdel-Fattah, DDS
A comprehensive tool for evaluating and managing temporomandibular injury cases, this guide is divided into five detailed sections:
Section I includes an overview of the basic sciences (embryological, anatomical and biomechanical) involved in managing temporomandibular injuries.
Section II details the concept of injury – including contributing factors, the mechanism of injury and bodily response to injury.
Section III explains the evaluation process – from taking the patient history to performing clinical examination and confirming the diagnostic impression with diagnostic aids.
Section IV focuses on injury management through urgent, rehabilitative therapy, adjunctive treatment and the corrective processes.
Section V reveals medico-legal issues involved in handling these injuries, e.g. reviewing records, estimating permanent impairment, writing a report, and discusses preparation for the litigation process for both health care and legal professionals.
Insomnia Solved: A Self-Directed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI) Program by Brandon R. Peters M.D.
Based on the latest advances in sleep research and Dr. Peters' extensive clinical experience in treating sleep disorders, this self-guided program can help to resolve chronic insomnia. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) is often structured as a 6-week treatment program that can help people who have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or find that sleep is unrefreshing. CBTI is scientifically proven, highly effective, and does not rely on medications. CBTI has life-long benefits and most participants report improved sleep satisfaction. Insomnia Solved is based on the core features of this treatment:
- Education on normal sleep and the factors that affect sleep quality and quantity
- Identifying triggers of insomnia as well as ways that these can be defused
- Review of the circadian rhythm and homeostatic sleep drive and how these impact sleep
- Overview of sleeping pills and how tolerance reduces their effectiveness
- Developing healthy and effective sleep behaviors
- Learning skills to calm the mind and manage stress
- Individualized sleep-wake schedule program
- Eliminating thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that compromise sleep
- Coping strategies to respond to sleep loss and preserve daytime function
Dr. Peters was trained to conduct CBTI at Stanford University, where he continues to serve as a clinical faculty affiliate. Over the past several years, he has helped hundreds of people with insomnia resolve their condition. He now leads a group CBTI workshop at Virginia Mason in Seattle.
This individualized program will address the specific goals you have related to your insomnia. For some, this may mean falling asleep more easily, sleeping through the night, sleeping without the use of pills, or improving daytime fatigue. The American College of Physicians now recommends that all adult patients receive CBTI as the initial treatment for chronic insomnia.
Created by Brandon Peters, M.D., Insomnia Solved is the only program of its type designed by a board-certified medical doctor. Further audio and visual resources to enhance the experience can be accessed at InsomniaSolved.com and a discount is available with purchase of the e-book.
