Finals in Surgery
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. It covers the clinical part of the exam - usually now examined as OSCEs - and approaches the usual surgical problems from that perspective. It concentrates on the type of questions asked by the examiners and how to respond in a way that will give the candidate the best chance of success. This exam-orientated book will help to alleviate some of the suffering of the nail-biting weeks just prior to the final clinical examinations in general surgery. A very practical book for the examsIt covers the difficult topics from the point of the view of the style of the examIt is superbly illustrated with pho...
Medicine and Surgery E-Book
This is a stunning new hybrid textbook that has evolved as a direct response to the increasing integration of the two disciplines of medicine and surgery in today's medical curricula. The advantage of this combined approach is it reduces the amount of reading by the elimination of repetition (and inconsistencies) to provide an integrated explanation of the common problems faced both by students during exams and clinicians in daily practice. This book's greatest asset is the ability to illustrate that medical and surgical treatment options are actually part of a continuum in the management of disease. An integrated textbook combining the two major clinical specialities of general medicine and general surgery. Written and edited by a team of physicians and surgeons supported by a team of specialist subject advisors. Puts medicine and surgery in the context of the continuum of disease management and outlines a comprehensive and structured approach to patient management. Adopts a current evidence-based approach with extensive use of national and international guidelines. A full colour textbook with innovative design features and illustrations.
Prognostic and Predictive Factors in Breast Cancer
This title reviews the key prognostic factors in breast cancer, discussing the methodologies involved in measuring and reporting. It also examines the roles of major predictive markers such as the steroid receptors, p53 and HER-2. Given the wealth of information in the medical literature on breast cancer, this volume is useful in that it focuses st
General Surgical Anatomy and Examination
This new book is designed to facilitate the comparison between normal and abnormal anatomy, both on the surface and (by the use of radiologic imaging) within the body. GENERAL SURGICAL ANATOMY AND EXAMINATION explores the common problems that a surgeon may encounter and detect not only by radiologic imaging, but also by seeing, hearing, and feeling. Using a series of color photographs and radiologic images (many with interpretive line drawings and overlays to show normal and abnormal instances), the book illustrates how anatomy, clinical history, and examination can be used to point at the diagnosis in patients with surgical conditions. The text is short yet comprehensive and is closely linked to the visual presentation of the surgical disease.
Nursing Patients with Cancer
"Nursing Patients with Cancer: Principles and Practice is a major new text: a comprehensive evidence-based source book that provides a detailed foundation for adult cancer nursing. It explains the essential social and scientific basis of modern cancer management, and equips nurses with the key skills and knowledge required to work in cancer care teams. The content is based upon assessment and intervention of patient and family needs, and aims to prepare nurses to work with cancer patients and their families across a range of settings." -back cover.
Management of Breast Diseases
In 2002, Lippincott published the Manual of Breast Diseases, edited by Professor Ismail Jatoi. The current book, Management of Breast Diseases, is an adaptation of that manual, with Professor Manfred Kaufmann of the Goethe-University of Frankfurt serving as co-editor. Most of the chapters from the original manual have been either extensively revised or discarded, and several new chapters added. This text contains more material than the original manual, but it is still intended as a basic guide for the wide spectrum of clinicians (surgeons, gynecologists, oncologists, radiation onco- gists, internists, general practitioners) who treat breast diseases, both benign and malignant. To compile thi...
Essential Surgical Practice
Essential Surgical Practice: Higher Surgical Training in General Surgery is an indispensable source of reference for the surgical trainee. This fifth volume is fully updated and caters for the needs of the senior trainee surgeon undertaking higher surgical training in general surgery, providing detailed information on those specialties which the general surgeon is required to have a working knowledge of, with a special emphasis on trauma and vascular surgery. Significant changes in surgical training have occurred over the past decade and Essential Surgical Practice reflects this by dividing the chapters into three distinct parts: general patient care; trauma; general surgical care. The text is structured to be highly patient-oriented in line with current thought and practice, with a firm underpinning of pathophysiology. Essential Surgical Practice: Higher Surgical Training in General Surgery will be an indispensable source of reference for all surgical trainees and can be used with confidence in association with local studies and distance learning courses. The content is consistent with the scope and level of information required for international postgraduate examinations.
The Breast Cancer Cookbook
Breast cancer is by far the most common cancer in women, affecting 1 in 8 women in the UK. It is now known that diet and lifestyle are significant risk factors in the development of the disease. Adopting a healthier diet can reduce the risk of getting breast cancer and improve the survival of patients who have been diagnosed. Breast cancer specialist Mo Keshtgar takes you through the risk factors and specific dietary associations with breast cancer, including phytoestrogens, fruit and vegetables, fats and dairy products. Advice on 'foods to avoid', 'foods to eat in moderation' and 'foods to eat more of' follows, with simple suggestions as to how to achieve these changes. The enticing collection of over 100 recipes covers breakfasts, soups, salads, fish and shellfish, poultry and meat, vegetarian dishes, treats and drinks. All the dishes have been specifically created to take in all the dietary considerations linked to breast cancer and the possible side effects of treatments.
Making Sense
Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and a leading cause of death for women worldwide. With advances in molecular engineering in the 1980s, hopes began to rise that a non-toxic and non-invasive treatment for breast cancer could be developed. These hopes were stoked by the researchers, biotech companies, and analysts who worked to make sense of the uncertainties during product development. In Making Sense Sophie Mützel traces this emergence of "innovative breast cancer therapeutics" from the late 1980s up to 2010, through the lens of the narratives of the involved actors. Combining theories of economic and cultural sociology, Mützel shows how stories are integral for ...
Breast Surgery
Breast Surgery meets the needs of surgeons in higher training and practising consultants for a contemporary and evidence-based account of this sub-specialty that is relevant to their general surgical practice. It is a practical reference source incorporating the most current information on recent developments, management issues and operative procedures. The text is thoroughly referenced and supported by evidence-based recommendations wherever possible, distinguishing between strong evidence to support a conclusion, and evidence suggesting that a recommendation can be reached on the balance of probabilities. This is a title in the Companion to Specialist Surgical Practice series whose eight v...
