This second edition of Clinical Pediatric Anesthesia: A Case-Based Handbook offers a comprehensive review of the options, advantanges, and disadvantages of different aspects of the perioperative management of the pediatric patient, as well as examples of a wide range of relevant clinical scenarios. Chapters are organized into 15 sections and cover the field of pediatric anesthesiology with a point-of-care approach. Written by a team of over 50 Pediatric Anesthesiologists at tertiary children's hospitals, this highly accessible text provides readers with multiple approaches to the anesthetic care of the pediatric patient. Each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, followed by learning objectives, clinical vignettes, and a discussion section styled in a question-and-answer format, concluding with a summary of the highest-yield and most salient information. Chapters also provide annotated references and suggestions for further reading to facilitate in-depth study of topic. The variety of cases presented, along with the contributors' expertise, render valuable real-life clinical situations that promote critical thinking and evaluation necessary for all pediatric anesthesiology consultants.

Differential diagnosis is at its most accurate and efficient when clinical presentation and histopathological features are considered in correlation with one another. With this being so, the expert team behind this atlas has integrated both perspectives to create an innovative and essential resource for all those involved with the diagnosis of tumors, cysts, and nevi. Almost 1,400 full-color images clearly illustrate common patterns and variants of tumorous lesions of the skin and are helpfully contextualized by concise, straightforward descriptions of key features and diagnostic clues. Whether they are aspiring or experienced practitioners, dermatologists and pathologists of all levels will find this an insightful and practically applicable addition to their bookshelf. Its far-reaching and easy-to-navigate coverage of relevant diseases of the skin provides trainees with an excellent grounding in the area, while practicing specialists may benefit from its use as a tool for the differential diagnoses of borderline cases. Atlas of Dermatopathology: Tumors, Nevi, and Cysts offers a uniquely balanced, clear, and comprehensive guide to what can be a difficult process, and will be of tremendous assistance tostudents, dermatologists, dermatopathologists, and pathologists everywhere.

Questo testo atlante in due volumi, con più di 700 pagine, 400 disegni anatomici, 200 immagini di campo operatorio e documentazione di casi clinici emblematici, vuole mettere nella giusta luce le conoscenze necessarie per accedere, “a cielo aperto”, a un segmento scheletrico fratturato. L’anatomia che studiavamo sui banchi dell’università ci ha fornito quel bagaglio culturale fatto di muscoli, vasi e nervi che è necessario, ogni tanto, rispolverare. Per questo motivo abbiamo voluto mettere insieme schemi e disegni riguardanti sia le vie d’accesso, sia l’anatomia chirurgica.Abbiamo pensato di contenere lo scritto al minimo indispensabile, privilegiando l’iconografia.Tutte le tavole portano la firma di insigni maestri e/o allievi della scuola di disegno anatomico dell’Istituto Rizzoli; le foto dei campi operatori sono state selezionate da un’enorme quantità di osservazioni con particolare attenzione sia all’aspetto estetico, sia a quello didattico.L’opera è in due volumi, il primo (320 pagine) riservato all’arto superiore, il secondo (384 pagine) alla pelvi, al cotile e all’arto inferiore. Abbiamo escluso le ricerche anatomiche e le vie d’accesso dedicate alla chirurgia della mano perché di stretta competenza superspecialistica.I radiogrammi che documentano i vari tipi di frattura (pseudoartrosi e consolidazioni viziose comprese) non vogliono privilegiare né una tecnica operatoria, né questo o quel mezzo di sintesi, bensì descrivere la via d’accesso più adatta al tipo e al livello della lesione.
