Cracking NeuroVascular and NeuroInterventional Neurosurgery Vignettes
Vascular Neurosurgery is an exciting yet complex field. Surgeons are able to enter into the human brain and dissect out blood vessels that supply important functions. However putting too much distortion on blood vessels causes them to go into spasm which may cause a stroke. Pathology in vascular neurosurgery, as in any field of neurosurgery, is extremely diverse. Diseases range from unruptured intracranial aneurysms to massive hemorrhagic arteriovenous malformations to congenital vascular anomalies. But dangers lurk at every corner. We put together this textbook of vascular neurosurgical vignettes to help teach students and residents in all fields about a variety of clinical scenarios that they may be presented with in the emergency room, intensive care unit, or in the operating room. This text utilizes over 7 years of vascular clinical vignettes and displays the neurointerventional aspects of neurosurgery as well which has become more popular over the last few decades.
Cracking Neurosurgical Oncology Vignettes
NeuroOncology is a fascinating subspecialization in Neurosurgery. Much research is being conducted worldwide trying to understand more about cancer. While we have improved much in our delivery of care, our patients still often succumb to the cancer. As a neurosurgery resident, I have had the privilege of working with the masters in this field and I have had the pleasure of learning about the lives of many patients both pre-operatively and post-operatively. They each seem to have such strong stories to tell and I sit there listening in awe. Thus, we decided to document all the cases we have encountered in residency, noting certain aspects of each case we felt were critical toward attempting to treat them. And so we ended up authoring this text with the goal of simplifying the immense data in NeuroOncology so that the student and junior residents may have a text to use that would guide them in treating various pathology.
Cracking Pediatric Neurosurgery Vignettes
Pediatric Neurosurgery is a complex subspecialty. The pathology is so diverse and the patients so fragile. We have tried to illustrate common as well as the more rare pathological conditions that afflict the pediatric population. I learned much from my attendings and senior residents, but each case was yet again so different that I wished there was some text that would describe the thought processes and management for these patients. This way I would be more prepared to understand the patient's disease and speak to the patient and family with more experience and specifics. Thus, we have decided to write this text for the senior and junior residents as well as the medical students. We delve into defining the differential diagnoses for a variety of intracranial and spinal pathology. We go through the thought processes in treating and managing such patients. We have real cases with full high definition pictures. This is a culmination of over 6 years of patient care in pediatric neurosurgery.
Cracking Trauma Neurosurgery Vignettes
Neurosurgical trauma is quite common, especially at high volume level 1 trauma centers around the world. The brain and spine often absorb a significant amount of the forces and thus are subject to enormous injury. Neurosurgical trauma is extremely diverse ranging from the most minor of intracranial bleeds to the significant anoxic brain injury and quadriplegia. Many of these cases are considered neurosurgical emergencies and so immediate diagnosis and management are key. In this textbook, we have tried to illustrate many unique cases we have encountered in our training. These cases have taught us a great deal about management and surgical treatment options for a variety of different neurosurgical trauma cases. We hope that the readers will learn valuable methods of diagnosis and management of their patients after reading this text. This text can be used by anyone interested in learning more about neurological trauma.
Cracking Neurosurgical Pathology Vignettes
Neuropathology is a fascinating field, full of a variety of different neurological disorders. Meticulous understanding of neuropathology is critical to the growing student and physician, in order to provide the most accurate and appropriate clinical diagnosis for the patient. With this text, we embark on an adventure to provide case scenarios encompassing a multitude of neurological conditions, with associated neuropathological slides, with the goal of simplifying a typically complex subspecialty of neuropathology. The text is designed for students at all stages, as well as physicians in residency and beyond. Please enjoy!
Cracking the USMLE Step 2 CK QBook
We hope that after studying and testing oneself in this textbook that one has learned the information we feel is commonly tested on the USMLE Step 2 board examination. We have included the most high yield pathological conditions and have used the information presented in the text book to prepare appropriate USMLE 2 style questions. We remember the process of going through USMLE 1 to 3, and then continuing with our Specialty board examinations. After much attention and review, we feel that we have come to a better understanding of how to approach these examinations and how best to study the immense amount of material that is expected to be understood. This is the perspective we have used when writing these texts. It is with this in mind that we hope these textbooks can be utilized to effectively do well on USMLE examinations. Good luck on your boards and in the future. Please feel free to contact any of us with any questions or concerns. Thank you.
Cracking the USMLE Step 2 CK
This is a USMLE Step 2 Board Review Textbook written by three physicians currently in residency. They share insights into learning the immense material required to be a knowledgeable and dedicated physician.
Cracking the USMLE Step 3 Q Book
The USMLE Step 3 examination is a large stepping stone that one must pass in the long journey to become a knowledgeable and capable physician. The majority of questions are based on a clinical story that is presented and aims to test one's ability to perform critical thinking and to predict the next step in management and treatment. And so with this in mind, we have embarked on this mission to find a way to document and present this complex information in a manner that would be most beneficial for our students. We hope that as you read these books you will not only be able to memorize and relearn a bunch of clinical facts, but also to apply this information in clinical scenarios that we have written in the Qbook. Written by three physicians currently in residency, this text is highly clinically relevant as a variety of cases are actual patient scenarios experienced by the authors themselves. Please enjoy!
Cracking the USMLE Step 3
The medical literature is enormous. It is filled with information that is growing as you are reading this sentence. Having entered the realm of medical school and residency, it is very difficult to gather and master the information that is most critical. After much review of current USMLE Board preparation texts, we have attempted to create a more concise and focused text that addresses the heart of the major issues that are not only commonly tested but also encountered as one is taking care of sick patients. We have put much thought and effort into providing a text that can be used by pre-medical and medical students, as well as physicians and those in all scientific fields. Our goal is to provide an avenue of knowledge that can be used to heal that which is most important to us: Our Patients! Enjoy!
Cracking Neurosurgical Infections Vignettes
The central nervous system is a fascinating anatomical specimen. The brain and spinal cord, and all related nervous tissue, are such delicate and critical structures that truly make us who we are as functioning human beings. Infection of the central and peripheral nervous systems are quite complex. There are a wide variety of infectious disease states that afflict this area and we have attempted to describe and teach many of these disease states in this textbook. We have written this textbook in the form of clinical vignettes of real-life patient cases that we have each taken care of during our training. We have learned so much from these patients and we wanted to share this teaching with the rest of the world. We hope that this textbook can enlighten readers of all specialties and fields about infectious diseases of the central nervous system and methods of diagnosis and management of these neurosurgically and neurologically impaired patients. Please enjoy!
