Keeping up with the rapid growth in this field, A Practical Manual of Hysteroscopy and Endometrial Ablation: A Clinical Cookbook covers current and emerging endometrial ablation procedures. It provides practical, step-by-step illustrated descriptions of basic and advanced techniques and new methods. The editors, Resad Pasic and Ronald L. Levine, have brought together a group of experts renowned not only for their knowledge but also their ability to teach. The subtitle, A Clinical Cookbook, was purposely chosen to emphasize that you can literally follow the individual "recipes" of procedures to assure their safe and effective use. Containing the most up-to-date and thorough material available, the book addresses the present hysteroscopic therapies and provides in depth discussion of the current knowledge of hysteroscopy and ablation techniques. Each chapter has the main points highlighted in boxes separated from the text for easy review. The digital drawings were made by use of computer graphics by an outstanding graphic designer, Branko Modrakovic. The illustrations, whether line drawings or actual color photographs, clearly deliver the message. You can quickly grasp what to do, and just as importantly, what not to do.

"Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation : An Interdisciplinary Problem-Based Learning Approach" provides an overview of the latest techniques, management strategies and technology surrounding the clinical use of ECMO. This interdisciplinary book reviews the most common scenarios of ECMO in 62 chapters exploring the conditions and problems arising in ECMO practice. Each chapter begins with a stem case, followed by open questions to encourage critical thinking and enable the reader to follow the management strategies of the authors, who are world leaders in the field. Followed by an evidence-based discussion, each chapter concludes with multiple-choice questions for self-assessment. This book is current in its knowledge of organ systems and management and keeps pace with new ECMO technology and surgical techniques coupled with current guidelines for management. Starting with the history of ECMO to technical aspects, circuit biocompatibility and interaction with blood, drugs and flow physics, the volume continues into pediatric and adult sections, focussing on both respiratory and cardiovascular support, followed by a section on trauma. The volume then concludes with a section on neurologic complications and ethics, as well as rehabilitation and ambulation of ECMO patients. In addition, to reflect the current global health situation, this book also includes a chapter on ECMO management in patients suffering with COVID-19, to cover the most urgent and pressing questions around ECMO during the ongoing pandemic. This is the first ECMO book on the market to utilise a problem-based learning approach and as such is an important unprecedented project on ECMO education.
Editio princeps of the O.F. translation of Albucasis (ms. BNF fr. 1318), with introduction and glossary. The text, hitherto neglected, is important as one of the earliest medieval vernacular surgical treatises (dating from c. 1270); and because the Albucasis translation goes back (via a medieval Latin version) to an Arabic original; finally, as an example of Lorraine non-literary prose. The distinctively Lorraine text contains not only numerous first attestations of medical technical terms in French, but also a quantity of previously unrecorded Arabicisms.
"Bold and compelling... Uniformly excellent, and often wryly amusing."" - The Wall Street Journal "A globetrotting historical adventure, told from the inside of the operating room... Medical writing at its most exhilarating." - Michael Paul Mason "Comprehensively researched, deftly told, and radiating both intellect and passion... Essential reading for anyone interested not only in the history but also in the future of medicine." - Frank Huyler "A history of surgery that is informative, entertaining, and highly readable." Library Journal A fascinating history of the practice of surgery from one of the leading figures in the field, chronicling centuries of scientific breakthroughs by the discipline's most dynamic, pioneering doctors. Written by an author with plenty of experience holding a scalpel, Dr. David Schneider's The Invention of Surgery is an in-depth biography of the practice that has leapt forward over the centuries from the dangerous guesswork of ancient Greek physicians through the world-changing "implant revolution" of the twentieth century. The Invention of Surgery explains this dramatic progress and highlights the personalities of the discipline's most dynamic historical figures. It links together the lives of the pioneering scientists who first understood what causes disease, how organs become infected or cancerous, and how surgery could powerfully intercede in people's lives, and then shows how the rise of surgery intersected with many of the greatest medical breakthroughs of the last century, including the evolution of medical education, the transformation of the hospital from a place of dying to a habitation of healing, the development of antibiotics, and the rise of transistors and polymer science. And as Schneider argues, surgery has not finished transforming; new technologies are constantly reinventing both the practice of surgery and the nature of the objects we are permanently implanting in our bodies. Schneider considers these latest developments, asking "What's next?" and analyzing how our conception of surgery has changed alongside our evolving ideas of medicine, technology, and our bodies. |
