Handbook of Patient Care in Vascular Diseases, 5th Edition

The fifth edition of the Handbook of Patient Care in Vascular Diseases inaugurates the transition from one generation of authors (Hallett, Brewster, and Darling) to the next (Rasmussen, Clouse, and Tonnessen). The change in authors recognizes the need to pass the torch to the younger men and women who will lead the care of vascular patients into the future.

The first edition of the Handbook dates to 1982, when open surgery was well established but endovascular therapy was relatively new. Basic principles of care remain the same. However, new endovascular options, proliferating cardiovascular medicines, and developing cell therapies required a reorganization of the previous Handbook.

The central purpose of the original Handbook remains unchanged: To serve as a primer of principles that optimize patient outcomes. The authors have revised every chapter and added the latest in diagnostic and treatment approaches. They provide concise and clear suggestions to every member of the care team. Both novices and more experienced practitioners, including cardiologists, radiologists, and surgeons, will find some thing in these pages to help them in their daily work.

Fundamentals of Pediatric Cardiology, 1st Edition

This book is intended for medical students with an interest in primary care, residents in pediatrics and family medicine, and first-year pediatric and adult cardiology trainees. I have tried to present information in a straightforward and organized manner. Excessive detail, unnecessary for initial evaluation and management of patients, has been avoided. This book was not intended to be encyclopedic. There are several excellent encyclopedic textbooks of pediatric cardiology, and the reader should refer to these textbooks, as well as the recent medical literature, if more detailed information is needed. The book also contains very little drug dosage data. Because there may be regional differences in drug use and dosage and because these may change over time, the reader should refer to current dosage recommendations for this information

Drug Facts and Comparisons (Pocket Version)

The Pocket Version of Drug Facts and Comparisons® (DFC) is an abridged version of the full DFC publication designed for quick reference by the health care professional. The purpose of the DFC Pocket Version is to provide an easy-to-use, concise, portable reference that can be utilized in daily practice. It is not intended to replace the complete information found in DFC; however, it provides the same reliable source of drug information.

In addition to the extensive review panel for DFC, a separate panel of drug information specialists and hospital pharmacists was established to determine which drug monographs would be most valuable to the health care professional along with the data for each drug needed most. The book is arranged therapeutically in 12 chapters in a consistent format. Single-agent monographs have been pared down to provide the essential information that a health care provider needs to aid in drug therapy decisions. Product tables that list trade names, doseforms, strengths, and manufacturers are included at the beginning of each monograph. Group monographs contain product information and dosing instructions for each of the drugs in a specific class (eg, beta blockers). Indications, administration and dosage, actions, contraindications, warnings, drug interactions, and significant adverse reactions (those occurring in at least 3% of patients) also are included for all monographs. The useful tables that are so common to DFC have, for the most part, been retained in the Pocket Version.

Appendix material (eg, Management of Overdosage, FDA Pregnancy Categories) also is available for reference. A comprehensive index helps the reader reach the desired information quickly and easily.

A Practical Guide to Cardiac Pacing, Sixth Edition

A Practical Guide to Cardiac Pacing, Sixth Edition, is written to acquaint the reader with basic pacemaker principles and terminology. We have always viewed this book as a bridge between the beginners in pacing, or general cardiologists, and the engineers involved in designing pacemakers and electrophysiologists doing advanced pacemaker work. Every effort has been made to keep the text basic and some discussions are deliberately simplified to provide a framework for understanding pacemakers.

The field of pacing is expanding so rapidly that a book this size cannot realistically be complete. In particular, the integration of the implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) with pacemakers has added enormous complexity. We have given a very brief, introductory discussion of ICDs that provides only a rudimentary introduction to implantable defibrillator technology. We do, however, hope that emphasis on some of the basic principles will be helpful.

Oxford Handbook of Clinical Surgery, 3rd Edition

This, the third edition of the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Surgery, reflects the changes which have occurred in general surgery over the seventeen years since the first edition was published.

Firstly, we have recruited the services of two new editors, a stark contrast to the original which was written by a single author with the assistance of a Surgical Registrar.

Secondly, each chapter has been written by a Specialist Consultant or Registrar in the subject and, therefore, presents a modern, state-of-the-art treatise on each topic.

Again, each condition is covered in the original two-page format with blank pages for accompanying notes.

Blueprints Surgery, 5th Edition

The fifth edition of Blueprints Surgery has been significantly revised. Reorganization of the Table of Contents creates a more logical flow to the chapters. Every chapter includes updates to reflect current practices in the field. A new chapter in the gastrointestinal section explores bariatric surgery. Similar to the previous edition, sample operative reports are included in an appendix. As Blueprints is used in a wider range of clinical settings, students have had the opportunity to review and comment on what additional material would be useful. In response, an increased number of figures, including radiographic studies, photographs, and drawings, integrate with the text. This fifth edition is the first to include a color insert, showing detailed depictions of surgical techniques. The Questions and Answers sections include 25% more material for USMLE Board review. Finally, suggestions for additional reading are available online, along with an additional 50 USMLE-format questions and answers for further self-study.

Carpal Ligament Surgery

This book is the result of a re fl ection of an expert group of wrist pathology. It attempts to analyze, to understand, to explain and to make logical, if not obvious, the reflection which must accompany each practitioner in diagnosis and treatment of the carpal ligamentary lesions. This book has voluntarily left aside the degenerative carpal pathology, which usually benefits more visibility in various scientific works.

Anatomy at a Glance

The study of anatomy has changed enormously in the last few decades. No longer do medical students have to spend long hours in the dissecting room searching fruitlessly for the otic ganglion or tracing the small arteries that form the anastomosis round the elbow joint. They now need to know only the basic essentials of anatomy with particular emphasis on their clinical relevance and this is a change that is long overdue. However, students still have examinations to pass and in this book the authors, a surgeon and an anatomist, have tried to provide a means of rapid revision without any frills. To this end, the book follows the standard format of the at a Glanceseries and is arranged in short, easily digested chapters, written largely in note form, with the appropriate illustrations on the facing page. Where necessary, clinical applications are included in italics and there are a number of clinical illustrations. We thus hope that this book will be helpful in revising and consolidating the knowledge that has been gained from the dissecting room and from more detailed and explanatory textbooks.

Illustrative Handbook of General Surgery

TheIllustrated Handbook of General Surgery has been created to allow medical students and residents learning surgery to assimilate, in a rapid and succinct manner, the anatomy and operative techniques associated with the most common surgical interventions. We are proud that all of the chapters have been edited and contributed by the faculty of the University of Wisconsin. The Department of Surgery at UW is comprised of almost 80 faculty, with nationally recognized expertise in every specialty. The essence of this text is its portability as well as its conciseness. Each chapter has been constructed so that critical, but not excessive, information is conveyed. Although a more extensive understanding of anatomy and operative technique will require consultation with a traditional surgical atlas, the information conveyed in this text is portable (able to be kept in the pocket of a white coat) and sufficient to allow the student or resident to gain a basic understanding of the anatomy and technique of most surgical procedures. I am certain that you will find this text to be extraordinarily useful and anticipate that it will facilitate rapid growth of your surgical knowledge.

Color Atlas of Cytology, Histology, and Microscopic Anatomy 4th edition

The pocket atlas is meant as a companion to lectures. It also serves as a valuable orientation tool for course work in microscopic anatomy. More than ever before, histology plays a very important role in medicine and biology. Therefore, the short instructive texts have been updated so that they incorporate the latest scientific findings. An understanding of micromorphological techniques is a prerequisite for the study of biochemistry, physiology and the relatively young discipline of molecular cell biology. Accordingly, cytology and histology rank high in the curriculum.

Nails Diagnosis, Therapy, Surgery 3rd

We are very pleased to be able to produce a third edition of Nails. The strong positive reception of editions one and two confirms our notion that interest in nail disorders has increased at a rapidly accelerating pace. As recently as twenty years ago few texts on this subject were available. Now there are many out there! Likewise, at that time journals had infrequent articles published on nail diseases but now almost every issue of every cutaneous journal has many articles dealing with the important subject of onychology. The authors of this third edition find this very exciting. It will be noted that the number of editors has been increased to include Dr Boni Elewski, an expert on fungal diseases, Dr Philip Fleckman, to expand basic science, Dr Phoebe Rich, prominent in nails and diabetics, and Dr Antonella Tosti to provide a European insight and view point. It is our hope that healthcare givers will find this book of value in helping patients with nail problems.

Emergency War Surgery

“All the circumstances of war surgery thus do violence to civilian concepts of traumatic surgery. The equality of organizational and professional management is the first basic difference. The second is the time lag introduced by the military necessity of evacuation.The third is the necessity for constant movement of the wounded man, and the fourth — treatment by a number of different surgeons at different places instead of by a single surgeon in one place — is inherent in the third. These are all undesirable factors, and on the surface they seem to militate against good surgical care. Indeed, when the over-all circumstances of warfare are added to them, they appear to make more ideal surgical treatment impossible. Yet this was not true in the war we have just finished fighting, nor need it ever be true. Short cuts and measures of expediency are frequently necessary in military surgery, but compromises with surgical adequacy are not.”

Difficult Decisions in Thoracic Surgery

The objectives of this book are to explain the process of decision making, both on the part of the physician and on the part of the patient, and to discuss specific clinical problems in thoracic surgery and provide recommendations regarding their management using evidence-based methodology. Producing a text that will purportedly guide experienced, practicing surgeons in the decision-making process that they are accustomed to observe on a daily basis is a daunting task. To accomplish this it was necessary to assemble a veritable army of authors who are widely considered to be experts in their fields. They were given the unusual (to many of them) task of critically evaluating evidence on a well-defined topic and provide two opinions regarding appropriate management of their topic: one based solely on the existing evidence, and another based on their prevailing practice, clinical experience, and teaching. Most authors found this to be an excellent learning experience. It is hoped that the readers of this book will be similarly enlightened by its contents.

Practical Plastic Surgery

At first glance, it would seem that the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery is so inundated with texts that there is hardly a need for one more. First impressions, however, can be deceiving. There is a book that has been lacking—until now. Practical Plastic Surgerywas conceived to address the need for a comprehensive, compact, and concise handbook. One that is as useful in the “trenches” as it is for the In-Service exam preparation. One hundred chapters and two extremely useful appendices have been authored by most of the residents and faculty in the Division of Plastic Surgery at Northwestern University, as well as by many of our colleagues around the country. Over the course of several years this collaborative effort has evolved into an outstanding text for fellows, residents, students, and other physicians interested in the practical aspects of our field. I predict that this book will find a place close to every plastic surgery resident’s fingertips, and that its usefulness will apply to other areas of surgery as well.

Williams Obstetrics 23rd

This 23rd edition of Williams Obstetrics arrives at a time of economic uncertainty for our country—indeed, for the world. There is especial anxiety provoked by the anticipated tumultuous reorganization of our healthcare system. We dedicate this book to those who are fair minded and who strive to bring about these changes with equanimity. We include all those who work to construct a system that is the best for all, includes those who are disadvantaged, but does not diminish the quality of healthcare for those who will ultimately finance the system—a tall order indeed. We echo the philosophy of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists that all women and their unborn children should have access to obstetrical care and family planning services.

Fitzpatrick's Dermatology in General Medicine

 Although much has changed over the past decades, the concept for and the purpose of the book remain the same—to provide an all-encompassing, state-of-the-art review of dermatology and to describe the biologic basis for diseases of the skin. Although DIGMis truly encyclopedic, it has been edited with the goal of making the entire text easily readable and useful.The 280 chapters are grouped into 37 sections covering all aspects of the science and clinical care of the skin in health and disease. Fifty new contributors have participated in this edition, many of the chapters are completely new, and a large number of the others have been completely rewritten. Disorders thought to be of only historic importance, such as anthrax and variola, are now central to our twenty-first century world; they are discussed both as dermatologic diseases and as potential agents of mass destruction. Our understanding of disease and pathophysiology has led to novel therapeutic agents such as botulinum toxin, which has proven to be of value in many diverse situations. Thus, the sixth edition of Dermatology in General Medicine clearly reflects the complexities and the great potential of our age. Since complete integration of the basic and clinical sciences is the DIGMsignature, many new approaches to the biology, structure, and function of the skin are offered in detail. We have introduced a new section on evidence-based dermatology and have expanded the portion of the text dealing with dermatologic changes through the stages of life. Essentially all of the illustrative material is now in full color, and charts and diagrams have been redrawn for ease of interpretation. The therapeutic sections have all been updated to encompass the most recently introduced types of  biologic therapy. The progress that has been made in dealing with HIV infection, the scourge of our generation, is clearly described.
