Book Description

Diabetes mellitus is an extremely common disease that is reaching epidemic proportions owing to major increases in the incidence of obesity and the propensity for a sedentary life. The need for physicians to familiarize themselves with all forms of diabetes is essential and the Atlas of Diabetes Mellitus goes a long way toward making the task easier for both qualified physicians and those in training.

Review

“I am unaware of any other illustrated text with the breadth and scope of Dr. Scobie’s An Atlas of Diabetes MellitusI have no doubt that both my students and I will find this book useful for many years to come.” — Robert A. Rizzo, M.D. “This book offers a concise review of diabetes mellitus enriched by a section containing over 100 striking and interesting illustrations. The most outstanding feature is its extensive section of illustrations. Of the many interesting illustrations, those worthy of special note are photographs of patients with rare syndromes associated with diabetes; a practical guide to diabetic supplies and absorption profiles for various insulin regimens; a series of fundus photographs of various stages of diabetic retinopathy; and sections on diabetic foot and skin complications. The illustrations are an excellent aid to the visual recognition of diabetes-related disorders and confirm the old adage that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” Although the broad subject of diabetes mellitus is concisely reviewed, some important topics are either omitted or under-represented. This book makes a unique and worthwhile contribution to the diabetic literaturetargets a wider audience and offers probably the finest ensemble of diabetes-related illustrations available.” – Nicholas P. Sauter, MD, University of Chicago Medical Center, Doody’s Reviews

This edition has new chapters on quality assessment, surgical education, and surgical processes in the hospital. Coverage of surgical subspecialty areas is more sharply focused on topics that are encountered by general surgeons and included in the current general surgery curriculum and ABSITE exam. The vascular section has been further consolidated. A new editor, Diane M. Simeone, MD, PhD, has joined the editorial team.

Genre: Medicine, Surgical Training | Language: English

“This is a unique and useful addition to the bookshelves (and DVD players) of those progressing through basic surgical training. Detailed step-by-step videos of common operations are each accompanied by a chapter in the book detailing the procedural steps, coupled with operative pictures, radiographs and anatomical diagrams to illustrate the important learning points.

The videos provide a clearly narrated guide to operative practice, pitched for the junior trainee starting out in the operating theatre. The narration tackles the realities of operations and their difficulties with useful tips and a common sense, occasionally humorous approach not found in more senior and specialist titles that often seem to present a more polished version of reality than one encounters in your own operating theatre.

The procedures videoed cover the breadth of a typical core surgical training rotation, including general, vascular, urological, orthopaedic, upper gastrointestinal, ENT, breast, and colorectal procedures. For example, within upper gastrointestinal surgery the videos feature gastrectomy, splenectomy, gastrojejunostomy, open cholecystectomy, and thoracotomy.

It is perhaps surprising that no-one has already put such a training package together. Many have used Acland’s anatomy DVDs for MRCS revision, and although sub-specialist operative training DVDs do exist these are limited in scope and are prohibitively expensive.

It must surely have been a labour of love to assemble and edit these training videos all together, and the author and production team are to be congratulated on bringing this to life as well as they have. In the modern multimedia age this could well become as essential as Kirk’s seminal text on basic surgical techniques was to previous generations climbing the slippery surgical ladder.

Given the broad coverage of disparate specialties, from orthopaedics to urology, the package will perhaps have limited interest to more senior trainees and one wonders whether dedicated editions featuring each of the nine surgical specialties will be forthcoming in future. Certainly there would be demand for this. Similarly, the level of the accompanying book is no replacement for operative surgery bibles such as Farquharson’s or Kirk’s, but neither does it set out to be.

Overall, many surgical trainees at the core/senior house office/resident level will find [this] greatly beneficial to their training.” (Ed Fitzgerald MRCS, Specialist Registrar, General Surgery, The Royal Marsden Hospital, London)

Book Description

This atlas demonstrates all components of the body through imaging, in much the same way that a geographical atlas demonstrates components of the world. Each body system and organ is imaged in every plane using all relevant modalities, allowing the reader to gain knowledge of density and signal intensity. Areas and methods not usually featured in imaging atlases are addressed, including the cranial nerve pathways, white matter tractography, and pediatric imaging. As the emphasis is very much on high-quality images with detailed labeling, there is no significant written component; however, ‘pearl boxes’ are scattered throughout the book to provide the reader with greater insight. This atlas will be an invaluable aid to students and clinicians with a radiological image in hand, as it will enable them to look up an exact replica and identify the anatomical components. The message to the reader is: Choose an organ, read the ‘map,’ and enjoy the journey!

1. I was given a copy of the book at the Chief Resident’s conference. It is fantastic!! I liked the first edition as a resident but this is far superior. The second edition is smaller and more carry-able. Chapters have more uniform organization that is easy to use. Charts/Algorithims are practical and capture common problems. Some key derm pictures. Getting the PDA (that has some additional chapters and formulary) is fantastic. The references have quality scores.

Overall a great book for Internal Medicine residents and students. I will use it and will recommend it.

2. I have skimmed over a lot of pocket manuals during my first year of IM residency (Ferri, Wash Manual, Rosen, Pocket Medicine, Oxford handbook), spending way too much money in the process. In the end I was left between Osler and Pocket Med. In a head-to-head comparison between the two, I was left with Osler as the triumphant source. While PM has it’s value, it seems to rely heavily on buzzwords and “fast facts”, without creating much substrate for deeper understanding. The OMH is a much more detailed review of key topics you will need to be familiar with throughout your residency. The Pearls and Pitfalls portion is very helpful. There are certain deficiencies, without a doubt. I do not like the fact that some chapters are only available in the PDA version, making studying these topics very annoying. Some subjects are totally overlooked (e.g. tick-borne diseases), while others have a little too long a discussion (such as sickle cell disease). Either way, I still feel more comfortable reading this book than PM, as it explains things a little more solidly and facilitates retention. If there is one thing I have learned, there is no one single source for learning Medicine, but there is a basic set of topics that are prerequisite knowledge for becoming an internist, and that can be learned very well from this book. The rest will come from inhouse experience, didactic sessions, articles, board review courses, et cetera. I strongly recommend this book for all IM residents, but don’t let it (or any other manual, for that matter) shut your eyes to other sources.

A classic nephrology reference for over 25years, Seldin & Giebisch’s The Kidney, is the acknowledged authority on renal physiology and pathophysiology. In this 5th edition, such new and powerful disciplines as genetics and cell biology have been deployed to deepen and widen further the explanatory framework. Not only have previous chapters been extensively updated, but new chapters have been added to incorporate additional disciplines. Individual chapters, for example, now provide detailed treatment of the significance of cilia; the role of stem cells is now given special consideration. Finally, there has been a significant expansion of the section of pathophysiology, incorporating the newer findings of cell biology and genetics. If you research the development of normal renal function or the mechanisms underlying renal disease, Seldin & Giebisch’s The Kidney is your number one source for information.

Offers the most comprehensive coverage on the market of fluid and electrolyte regulation and dysregulation in 85 completely revised chapters and 10 new chapters.

Includes 4sections, 62 chapters, devoted to regulation and disorders of acid-base homeostasis, and epithelial and nonepithelial transport regulation.

Includes foreword by Donald Seldin and Gerhard Giebisch, world renowned names in nephrology and editors of the previous three editions.

Review

“This would be a helpful guide for nurses working in any acute setting; acute wards, coronary care, critical care outreach or the emergency department. It is also a good introductory tool for critical care nurses explaining the principles of assessment, different types of invasive monitoring and waveforms and so on.”  (Nursing Times, 17 October 2012)

Book Description

Monitoring the critically ill patient is a practical guide to monitoring acutely ill patients on the general ward. Critically ill patients are increasingly cared for outside intensive care units and all nurses need to be able to accurately monitor critically ill patients in their care. Monitoring the critically ill patient assumes no prior knowledge and equips students and newly qualified staff with the clinical skills and knowledge they need in order to confidently monitor patients at risk, identify key priorities, and provide prompt and effective care. It was developed in response to NHS policies relating to critical care and adopts a system-by-system approach, exploring respiratory function, cardiovascular function, neurological function, renal function, gastrointestinal function, hepatic function, endocrine function, nutritional status, and temperature in turn. This revised and updated second edition includes an additional chapter on outreach, medical emergency teams and early warning scoring systems. A final chapter explores monitoring during transport.

1. When I started work in an emergency department this book gave me many tips to solve some difficult cases. It is written in a way you can read it for few minutes in between patient visits in your night shift. The readability is high and you never get bored because it fixes every question in few lines (maximum 20 but mostly less than 10).

Obviously it is not really comprehensive, due to the small dimension and the question-response format; but it is sufficient also to study on it for examinations. It requires at least a basic understandig of medicine and it is not interesting for a lay person in many chapters.

2. This book is a great guide for medical students who want to go into emergency medicine, it is short enough to read in a month but long enough to cover a lot. I recommend reading it before or during your fourth year emergency rotation and again between the end of fourth year and the beginning of your intern year. Carry it with you as a reference.

Review

“An intriguing title to an atypical textbook of neurology. The usual, repetitive, and often boring contributions of standard text-books have happily been omitted, with the result of a rather fresh and stimulating look of most chapters.” (Eur Neurol, 8 February 2011)

“This outstanding book is a unique opportunity for neurologists (and family doctors) around the world to have an excellent overview of their specialty.” (The Lancet, March 2010)

From the Back Cover

A truly global textbook for neurological practice

Neurological disease varies in its presentations and pathology throughout the world. In today’s interconnected world, neurologists need to be aware that patients can come from anywhere in the world with presentations and pathologies that may not be typical of their local context.

This unique textbook deals with the differences in etiology, genetics, age of onset and clinical presentations of neurological disease internationally. This is the first book to take a truly global approach to neurological illness.

Consisting of 22 sections and 173 chapters with contributions from experts in many countries, it serves as an invaluable guide for physicians to expand their knowledge of different neurological disorders around the world. More importantly it is a definitive source of practical information to aid diagnosis and treatment.

Review

“Extensively updated by experienced clinicians – including new chapters on spirometry, inhalers, oxygen, death, dying and end of life issues – this ABC is an authoritative and practical guide for general practitioners, practice nurses, specialist nurses, medical students, paramedical staff, junior doctors, non-specialist doctors and all other health professionals working in both primary and secondary care.” (Clinical Laboratory International Magazine, 1 April 2011)

“Of particular interest is helping general practitioners recognize and diagnose the disease at an earlier stage than is the general case now.” (Reference and Research Book News, 1 April 2011)

From the Back Cover

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive, largely irreversible lung condition characterised by airflow obstruction. Although cigarette smoking is the single most important risk factor in its development, other associations and risk factors are thought to have increasing relevance throughout the world. COPD is usually managed in primary care, although it is commonly under-diagnosed, and is one of the most common medical conditions necessitating admission to hospital.

The second edition of the ABC of COPD provides the entire multidisciplinary team with a reliable, up-to-date and accessible account of COPD. Extensively updated by experienced clinicians – including new chapters on spirometry, inhalers, oxygen, death, dying and end of life issues – this ABC is an authoritative and practical guide for general practitioners, practice nurses, specialist nurses, medical students, paramedical staff, junior doctors, non-specialist doctors and all other health professionals working in both primary and secondary care.
