A 35-year-old woman arrives on the labour ward complaining of abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding at 36 weeks 2 days' gestation. The pain started 2 hours earlier while she was in a cafe and is not relieved by lying still or walking around. The bleeding is bright red. You are the medic on duty...100 Cases in Obstetrics and Gynaecology presents 100 obstetric- or gynaecology-related scenarios commonly seen by medical students and junior doctors in the emergency department, outpatient clinic, or on the ward. A succinct summary of the patient's history, examination, and initial investigations-including photographs where relevant-is followed by questions on the diagnosis and management of each case. The answer includes a detailed discussion on each topic, with further illustration where appropriate, providing an essential revision aid as well as a practical guide for students and junior doctors. Making speedy and appropriate clinical decisions, and choosing the best course of action to take as a result, is one of the most important and challenging parts of training to become a doctor. These true-to-life cases will teach students and junior doctors to recognize important obstetric and gynaecological conditions, and to develop their diagnostic and management skills.

Volume grande formato (21,5 x 28) di 135 pagine, numerose illustrazioni gran parte a colori.A “prima vista” le connessioni tra l’Oftalmologia e l’Ostetricia-Ginecologia possono sembrare tenui, ma se si guardano i dati epidemiologici si scopre che a livello mondiale la cecità e i gravi deficit visivi colpiscono prevalentemente il genere femminile con un rapporto di circa 3 a 2. Molte gravi malattie sistemiche, come ad esempio le autoimmuni, hanno come bersaglio preferenziale il genere femminile e l’occhio. Basi genetiche e fattori ormonali rendono l’occhio femminile più esposto alle malattie. Questa differenza tra i due sessi spiega la ragione di questo libro: richiamare l’attenzione degli Oculisti, per i quali l’occhio è di genere “neutro”, e degli Ostetrici Ginecologi, che quotidianamente sono a contatto con i problemi di salute femminile, sulle connessioni tra patologie oculari e fisio-patologia ormonale.La gravidanza, l’allattamento e la menopausa hanno importanti risvolti a livello oculare a causa delle variazioni ormonali che comportano. Gli estrogeni, ad esempio, hanno un ruolo protettivo su molte funzioni oculari e sulla circolazione retino-ottica. Leggendo il libro si scopriranno i punti di contatto fra le due specialità.Questo libro rappresenta quindi il tentativo di dare uno spunto di riflessione su una tematica di nicchia inconsueta da trovare nei libri di oftalmologia ed ostetricia-ginecologia. Abbiamo inteso impiegare il nostro extra time per dedicare ai Colleghi Ostetrici-Ginecologi ed Oculisti le nostre conoscenze e quanto abbiamo appreso nel corso della stesura. Siamo consapevoli dei limiti delle informazioni fornite ma ci siamo adoperati per rendere intelligibile all’Ostetrico-Ginecologo la materia oculistica e all’Oculista la materia perinatale e ginecologica. Per questo abbiamo adottato un modo di esposizione sintetico e semplice, utile cioè a rendere loro comprensibili i temi.

Obstetrics & Gynaecology has established itself as a key recommendation for faculty and a firm favourite for health sciences students. The opening sections of this new edition incorporate the relevant basic science, history and examination, investigations and diagnosis, as well as common diseases, abnormalities, and complications in gynaecology and obstetrics respectively. These are supported by two unique sections on gynaecology and obstetrics management, which are tailored to help students revise for exams, especially OSCEs. A brand new chapter covering ethics in obstetrics and gynaecology makes this fully-updated fourth edition the most comprehensive introduction available. Obstetrics & Gynaecology now includes a companion website at www.impeyobgyn.com , featuring self-assessment MCQs and EMQs, chapter summary slides, and all the figures from the book as PowerPoint slides.

Dewhurst's Textbook of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 8th Edition, remains one of the best clinical companions for trainees in obstetrics and gynecology. In an even easier-to-use format, there is a clear division between obstetrics and gynecology content. Now with the inclusion of feature boxes throughout, trainees can quickly and easily pick out key points and concept summaries. Within each section, material is subdivided into logical subsections reflecting a natural, progressive pathway allowing trainees to better navigate the text.

Nella seconda edizione, si è deciso di aggiungere alcuni capitoli rispetto alla prima edizione (dai 26 precedenti ai 33 attual

This pocket book succinctly describes 154 errors commonly made in obstetrics and gynecology in all clinical settings and gives practical, easy-to-remember tips for avoiding these errors. Each error is described in a short, clinically relevant vignette, followed by a list of things that should always or never be done in that context and tips on how to avoid or ameliorate problems. Coverage includes all areas in obstetrics and gynecology that are tested on certification and recertification exams. The audience for this ob/gyn volume is potentially large and includes ob/gyn residents, practitioners, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and family medicine practitioners and residents.

This title includes comprehensive coverage of the clinical essentials of both obstetrics and gynaecology in one affordable volume. A new team of authors presents the latest advances in the management of pregnancy and the treatment of gynaecological disorders in a well-written, easy-to-read style. Shorter chapters, updated terminology, clearer scans, and more line drawings are just some of the fresh, new changes that bring this popular reference up-to-date and make it relevant to today's practice.

La seconda edizione del “Trattato di Ginecologia e Ostetricia” completamente aggiornata e arricchita di dieci nuovi capitoli. Uno sforzo per il quale devo ringraziare tutti gli autori che hanno avuto la pazienza di rimettersi al lavoro per aggiornare i capitoli esistenti e aggiungerne di nuovi. Una nuova edizione è certamente motivo di soddisfazione e orgoglio perché denota che questa iniziativa editoriale ha incontrato il favore dei lettori cui era destinata. Voglio tuttavia ricordare che, in primis, si è trattato di un esperimento editoriale visto che il trattato ha un p0′ stravolto i canoni classici a cui si sono attenuti per decenni tutti i testi della specialità Ciò nonostante, in un mondo scientifico che cambia rapidamente, in particolare per quanto riguarda la nostra specialità c’è la necessità di aggiornamenti pressoché quotidiani, soprattutto per quanto riguarda la medicina materno fetale, e ritengo che lo sforzo di un aggiornamento (fra l’altro, con una rapida pubblicazione) possa incontrare le esigenze dello studioso che ha sempre bisogno di un valido testo scritto di riferimento. Infine, in questa edizione ho identificato i co-editori per le varie scienze cliniche tra le persone che più hanno aiutato alla realizzazione di questa opera. Spero, pertanto, di poter riconfermare il successo editoriale della prima edizione.
