Modern medical practice has left many professionals with no time or energy to gain sufficient internal focus, strong mindset, and core muscle strength that they need in their life. As we get older (and wiser), many of us are annoyed, and sometimes disabled, by the persistent dull ache and pain in our neck, back and other body parts. Many lacks the energy and agility to move around and adjust to their work (and life) needs. This collective work from a practising surgeon and a martial arts master is designed to give you that vital energy booster whenever you need it. The martial arts included were chosen carefully to allow you to gain the ability to deliver optimal performance even when you are tired, thus making long hours in theatre, for example, less gruelling and with better outcomes for patients. This book has also been written to help you in preventing injuries and achieve faster recovery after strenuous medical work, thus enabling you to relish your free time and family life.
Back for a second edition, Current Surgical Guidelines has been fully updated to reflect changes in guidelines across the surgical sub-specialities since its first publication. Drawing together printed and digital guidelines from the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN), the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), and relevant US guidelines, this book acts as a valuable complete and comprehensive reference for those embarking on their surgical training, revising for exams, or for senior staff as an aide-memoire. Guidelines have been distilled into summary tables, and topics are formulated to answer most real-life clinical practice questions with contemporary facts and figures, decision recommendations, and treatment options. New chapters on hernias, skin malignancies, trauma, and medicolegal practice have been added to increase fresh challenges facing the contemporary surgical trainee.
You are invited to explore the day-to-day life of the surgeon, and to help surgeons colour their rather stressful but exciting life! Colouring is a relaxing activity to everyone, including your surgeon. Colouring allows you to express ideas, free your mind, and indulge into a different world and even different life. Inside you'll find art activities that covers the life of surgeons in details: their clothes, cars, meetings, clinics, operating theatres, and interactions with patients and secretaries. The illustrations are suitable for markers, coloured pencils, gel pens, and crayons. I hope you enjoy this journey and have some good fun!
Medical practice in the modern age requires familiarity with clinical guidelines and standards, which are often published separately in long and discursive documents.

Logically organised by medical specialty, the reader can quickly familiarise themselves with the key principles of diagnosis and management at the appropriate level for beginning a new rotation on the wards. Each guideline summary is tailored to the education level expected of doctors in their first two years of...
"Medical professionalism is more than a demonstration of individual competencies. Becoming a member of the medical profession is not only about passing a set of milestones, but also about embodying the values, behaviors, and identity of a physician through a process of professional identity formation. The major frameworks for medical professionalism, the process of professionalization, and the importance of socialization in medicine are discussed. The reader is encouraged to reflect on who they are and who they want to become. Physicians have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of their patients and embrace life-long learning"--

The text follows a l...
Scaling relationships have been a persistent theme in biology at least since the time of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo. While there have been many excellent empirical and theoretical investigations, there has been little attempt to synthesize this diverse but interrelated area of biology. In an effort to fill this void, Scaling in Biology, the first general treatment of scaling in biology in over 15 years, covers a broad spectrum of the most relevant topics in a series of chapters written by experts in the field. Some of those topics discussed include allometry and fractal structure, branching of vascular systems of mammals and plants, biomechanical and life history of plants, invertebrates and vertebrates, and species-area patterns of biological diversity.
The FRCS examination is the last hurdle on the road to independent practice as a consultant surgeon in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Cracking the Intercollegiate General Surgery FRCS Viva: A Revision Guide provides the framework and knowledge to pass the non-subspecialty sections of the FRCS (General Surgery) viva and clinical examination. This comprehensive revision text covers all essential topics in critical care, emergency and general surgery as well as critical appraisal of res...
