Transient Ischemic Attack and Stroke
Accessible handbook covering the investigation, diagnosis and management of transient ischemic attacks and minor strokes.
Stroke
Stroke is a leading cause of death and the major cause of long-term, physical, psychological and social disability in the elderly around the world. Knowing and treating the most common risk factors for stroke such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation, and obesity may reduce the occurrence of stroke sub-stantially. In the last decades, there has been tremendous progress in the development of noninvasive diagnostic techniques like ultrasound MRI, CT angiography, CT perfusion, as well as new effective therapeutic strategies for acute ischemic stroke which established vascular neurology as one of the most progressive fields in medicine. This publication provides the reader with the most recent updated advanced knowl-edge on the practical clinical approach to stroke medicine. It covers essential and practical information on the pathophysiology and epidemiology of stroke, new diagnostic techniques which allow for better diagnosis and identification of various subtypes of stroke, and new therapeutic strategies for acute stroke and transient ischemic attack.
Stroke
In the second edition of this successful book, the authors have again worked closely together as a team to produce a seamless and consistently styled account of the diagnosis and management of stroke. What is different about this book? As many of the excellent reviews of the first edition point out, it presents a unique approach to stroke, both from the uniformity and clarity of the style (achievable only by a team working very closely together) and the integrated clinical management that weaves together causation, presentation, diagnosis, management and rehabilitation. This book deliberately poses and answers many of the burning questions and controversies in stroke and achieves a rare combination of readability and broad coverage.

Oxford Case Histories in General Surgery
Aligned to the topics within the Intercollegiate Surgical Programme (ISCP) curriculum, this case-based volume covers the common clinical presentations encountered across general surgery. It outlines the key essentials for investigation, diagnosis and management in a wide variety of clinical scenarios.
Neurological Case Histories
This book is a collection of over 50 case histories of patients with acute neurological illness. Each case is outlined in brief and followed by several questions on diagnosis and management. It illustrates the clinical issues surrounding patients with neurological diseases, summarising what information is available in the medical literature.
The Cheating Cell
A fundamental and groundbreaking reassessment of how we view and manage cancer When we think of the forces driving cancer, we don’t necessarily think of evolution. But evolution and cancer are closely linked because the historical processes that created life also created cancer. The Cheating Cell delves into this extraordinary relationship, and shows that by understanding cancer’s evolutionary origins, researchers can come up with more effective, revolutionary treatments. Athena Aktipis goes back billions of years to explore when unicellular forms became multicellular organisms. Within these bodies of cooperating cells, cheating ones arose, overusing resources and replicating out of cont...
Oxford Case Histories in Obstetric Medicine
A new addition to the Oxford Case Histories series, Obstetric Medicine provides the reader with 55 cases of different clinical presentations in obstetric medicine. Each case is presented with a background to the subject area, a summary of the history, and examination findings, and relevant investigation results. This is followed by several questions on clinically important aspects of the case with answers and detailed discussion, particularly of the differential management options. Each topic is mapped on to both the curriculum for physicians undertaking obstetric medicine, and for obstetric trainees studying for membership exams, the Advance Training Skills Module in maternal medicine, and speciality training in maternal and fetal medicine. Providing an ideal self-assessment tool, this new title is of interest to all doctors working in obstetrics, midwives, and students revising for exams.
