Surgery
John A. Dent
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 304
This new edition is a one-volume core revision text covering orthopaedics, ENT and ophthalmology, designed to stimulate the student into assessing his/her own knowledge during self-directed learning and exam preparation. The book assumes the student has had some teaching in surgery and has acquired some basic core knowledge. The book promotes self-directed learning with motivation coming from self-identification of strengths and weaknesses leading to an assessment of needs. The structure of the book is as follows: division into the main sections: orthopaedics, ENT and ophthalmology a core text examining the main surgical diseases in a synoptic text. A self-assessment section at the end allows the student to assess the progress in the application of the facts to common clinical problems.

Clinicians' Guide to Sleep Medicine
N Douglas
editore: Hodder Arnold
pagine: 264
Adequate sleep is essential for our work and safety, yet the importance of disorders of sleep in causing symptoms and impairment of quality of life has only recently been appreciated. Awareness of these conditions among general physicians is limited, a situation perpetuated by the lack of teaching on the topic that both undergraduate medical students and postgraduate doctors in training receive. "Clinicians' Guide to Sleep Medicine" puts the subject into context for the GP and general hospital physician, presenting the current knowledge of sleep related problems and their treatments in an accessible manner. Topics covered include sleep apnoea / hypnoea syndrome, narcolepsy, snoring, insomnia, restless leg syndrome, night terrors, and sleep walking. Investigation of patients with sleep disorders, and rational selection of therapy are also considered. With a balanced, readable style and clear explanatory illustrations, this book will enable practicing physicians to draw on the experience of an acknowledged international expert in the field and deal with the common sleep disorders with understanding and confidence.
Treatment of Nerve Injury and Entrapment Neuropathy
Yasusuke Hirasawa
editore: Springer Verlag Japan
pagine: 187
Peripheral nerve injury and entrapment neuropathy often are complicated by injury to adjacent tissue such as bone, joints, blood vessels, and tendons. Clinicians who provide primary care in these areas require extensive knowledge of methods for treating wounds and nerve injuries. The most important element in the treatment of peripheral nerve injury is appropriate surgical repair or functional reconstruction; postoperative physical and occupational therapy are also necessary. This book summarizes current topics in Japan and other countries in the field of surgical nerve repair, including selection of treatment methods for peripheral nerve paralysis, practical issues in surgery, and aspects of postoperative care. The importance of evidence-based medicine is emphasized, with appropriate therapy decided on the basis of objective data. The book has a broad appeal to include general clinicians, clinical trainees, and allied health-care professionals.

Imaging of Orbital and Visual Pathway Pathology
Wibke S. Muller-Forell
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 462
This is one of the first books to deal with imaging of pathology of the entire visual system. It is divided into two parts, general and special. In the general part, the most important basics of modern imaging methods are discussed, but with less emphasis on the physical background than in purely neuro-/radiological textbooks. Chapters are devoted to the meticulous presentation of imaging anatomy of the orbit and intracranial visual pathway. The latest knowledge on the indication, technique, and results of functional MR imaging is presented. Visual system impairment in the pediatric age group is also discussed. The special part of the book provides detailed descriptions of the symptoms and clinical and imaging findings in individual patients with orbital and intracranial pathologies. This book is specifically designed to be of value not only to neuroradiologists but also to ophthalmologists, neurosurgeons, oto-/rhino-laryngologists, and neurologists who require more detailed information on these special diseases.
Imaging of the Larynx
Robert Hermans
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 203
Notwithstanding the important role of direct clinical and endoscopic examination in modern management of pathological conditions of the larynx, radiological study the and, more specifically, cross-sectional imaging by CT and MRI make definite diagnostic contributions by virtue of their potential to display superbly the deeper extent of laryngeal lesions. Indeed, remarkable progress has been achieved during recent years in CT and MRI techniques as applied to the neck region. This book sets out to provide a sorely needed update of our knowledge of the diagnostic potential of these cross-sectional methods and constitutes a very welcome addition to our series "Medical Radiology", which aims to cover all important clinical imaging fields of modern diagnostic radiology. It will be of great interest to general and head and neck radiologists as well as to ENT surgeons and radiotherapists. Professor R. Hermans and the other distinguished contributors to this work are internationally renowned experts in the field and they have accumulated vast experi- ence and a wealth of radio-pathological knowledge of the larynx over the years.
I would like to congratulate them most sincerely for this outstanding volume, its comprehensive contents and its superb illustrations. I hope that this book will meet with the same great success as previously published volumes in the series. I would appreciate any constructive criticism that might be offered.
