This book is designed to filter the medical minutia into an easy to
read and follow text in General Surgery. As I went through my
training in General Surgery, I found that as the in-service
training exam approached I was never quite prepared. I just
couldn't bring myself to read a 2000 page textbook the month before
the exam. The Surgery Residents at the University of Louisville set
out to develop a succinct and informed review for the in-training
exam. We included the essential information needed to do well on
the Board exam without overwhelming the reader. This book is
written for residents by residents to enhance your understanding of
the art and science of surgery. Carry it in your pocket and read
between cases or quickly review a topic before teaching conference.
I am sure you will find it informative and essential for
preparation for the Surgery In-service Training Exam.
Presenting current perspectives on the physiology and metabolism of

aspects of diagnosis and explanations of treatment using a how to,
when and why approach, incorporating new expanded sections on
endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome. Illustrated throughout
with tables and graphs as a source for easy reference for guidance
and counselling in clinical decision making, it will be essential

Endometriosis is on a worldwide increase and carries with it
serious implications for women's reproductive health. Endometriosis
in Clinical Practice brings together international experts to
demonstrate what is known about the condition and the corresponding
clinical implications for the patient suffering from it. Unlike
many other books on this subject that are geared towards the
patient or excessively focused on research, this one also answers
the questions and meets the needs of the diagnosing physician. With
the aid of color illustrations, the book highlights clinical topics
such as epidemiology, assessment of health status, and
endometriosis and ART. It covers everything you need to know about
the disease, its diagnosis, and its management.
With detailed contributions from more than 40 leading authorities,
this edition comprehensively explores the immunobiology,
pathophysiology, and clinicial manifestations of graft-versus-host
disease (GvHD), offering sections revealing the most up-to-date
research on immune activation and dysregulation, the
pathophysiology of target organ damage, and GvHD prevention and
treatment. 53 illustrations.
The emergence of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in recent years
has revolutionized the way we see the retina. Providing, in real
time, high-resolution cross-sectional images of the macula that are
very similar to obtaining in vivo histopathological specimens, OCT
represents a major advance in the diagnostics of retinal disease.
The excitement of working with this new tool has been dampened by
the non-availability of any standard textbook on the subject and
meant that every new finding on the OCT saw us rushing to the
library almost on a daily basis to locate any published reports on
the subject. Until now. Containing nearly 900 scans of both normal
and diseased appearances, most in full color, Atlas of Optical
Coherence Tomography of Macular Diseases covers how to use Stratus
OCT for diagnosing various macular disorders, identifying correct
therapeutic approaches and monitoring the responses to therapies
and interventions. The authors provide brief case summaries, fundus
photographs, fluorescein angiography, and the OCT images and the
follow up images. They discuss OCT applications for diagnosis,
management, and follow-up in diabetic macular edema, macular hole,
taut posterior hyaloid membrane, vitreofoveal traction, idiopathic
central serous chorioretinoplasty, submacular pathology, and more.

All subjects have their canon of literature that should be studied
before serious students can advance in their chosen fields.
Containing papers carefully compiled not merely for their
historical importance but also for their contemporary relevance,
Classic Papers in Breast Disease is that resource. A team of
experts shares their experience in researching, diagnosing, and
treating breast disease.
Each chapter contains not just a compilation of papers, but a
critical commentary on the papers, their strengths and weaknesses,
and their relevance to current practice and research. The
commentary, always insightful and straightforward, ranges from
theory to practice, from physical to psychological. Each chapter
also has a brief introduction to set the scene as the author sees
it. All the papers share in common their place as building blocks,
as judged by the refraction of history, in the current knowledge
base or in current research.
Intragastric balloons are steadily gaining popularity among the
medical treatments available for obesity. Their efficacy and safety
are reinforced by growing body of evidence obtained around the
globe. Intragastric balloons are now considered one of the safest
and most effective medical procedures for weight reduction.
Additionally, the reduced potential for side effects and low
invasiveness (compared to bariatric surgeries) are important
considerations. This book is edited by renowned surgeons and
endoscopists from Brazil, a country known for its reputation on the
field of bariatric endoscopy and surgery. Such reputation is
especially valid where the use of intragastric balloons is
concerned. These devices, approved by the FDA only in 2015, have
been used in Brazil since the 1990s, attesting to Brazilian
expertise in the field. This book describes the various types of
intragastric balloons used for the treatment of obesity, an
alternative to bariatric surgery and other more invasive methods.
It addresses their indications, procedures and outcomes, providing
readers an overview of the therapeutic options available worldwide.
It is divided into seven main sections: I - Introductory Issues; II
- Devices; III - Technical Procedures and Related Issues; IV -
Acute Complications and Treatment; V - Chronic Complications and
Treatment; VI - Special Populations; and VII - Miscellaneous. This
structure helps to promote a better knowledge construction and a
reasonable flow of ideas throughout the book, guiding the reader
from introductory topics to surgical procedures and complications.
The book ultimately intends to offer an essential reference guide
for all physicians and surgeons interested in the treatment of
obese patients. It is intended for both experienced professionals
looking for in-depth information and for trainees and residents
seeking to broaden their perspectives concerning the treatment of
obesity.

The aim of eye muscle surgery is to restore alignment of the visual
axes and ocular stability. Albeit compensatory and largely
empirical, this surgery can be perfected with a better
understanding of the physiopathological mechanisms involved, more
detailed semiological analysis, the taking into account of
intraoperative data and the use of microsurgical technique. The
three parts of this book allow each of these factors to be
discussed at length.
In 1967, after a twin baby boy suffered a botched circumcision,
his family agreed to a radical treatment that would alter his
gender. The case would become one of the most famous in modern
medicine and a total failure. "As Nature Made Him" tells the
extraordinary story of David Reimer, who, when finally informed of
his medical history, made the decision to live as a male. A macabre
tale of medical arrogance, it is first and foremost a human drama
of one man's and one family's amazing survival in the face of
terrible odds.
