Food Authenticity and Traceability covers the most recent trends and important topics in food authentication, with an emphasis on the components of a food traceability systems. The book discusses techniques such as omics-based technologies, chromatographic methods, mass spectrometry, hyperspectral and chemical imaging, molecular and DNA-based techniques, chemometrics and data mining algorithms, high-throughput sequencing, and non-targeted fingerprinting approaches and proteomics.

Ethics of Everyday Medicine: Explorations of Justice examines and analyses the relatively unexplored domain of ethics involved in the everyday practice of medicine. From the author's clinical experience, virtually every decision made in the day-to-day practice of medicine is fundamentally an ethical question, as virtually every decision hinge on some value judgment that goes beyond the medical facts of the matter. The first part of the book is devoted to medical decision cases in several areas of medicine. These cases highlight elements of the current healthcare ecosystem, involving players other than the physician and patient. Insurers (private, commercial, and governmental), administrators, and regulators' perspectives are surfaced in point of care case analysis. Part two contributes to the development of actionable tools to develop better ethical systems for the everyday practice of medicine by providing a critical analysis of Reflective Equilibrium and ethical induction from the perspective of logic and statistics. The chapter on Justice discusses the neurophysiological representations of just and unjust behaviours. The chapter on Ethical Theories follows, describing the epistemic conundrum, principlism, reproducibility, abstraction, chaos and complexity. The following chapter approaches ethical decisions from the logic and statistic perspectives. The following chapter, The Patient as Parenthetical, the author discusses patient-centric ethics, and the rise of business- and government-cetric ethics. The final chapter, A Framework to Frame the Questions for Explore Further, proposes a working framework to deal with current ethical issues. Ethics of everyday Medicine: Explorations of Justice acknowledges that there are no answers yet to the ethical dilemmas that confront the everyday practice of medicine, but proposes a framework for deeper analysis and action. This reading would be useful to all healthcare professionals. Regulators and policy makers could also benefit from understanding how the complex healthcare environment influences medical decisions at point of care.

Medical and Surgical Emergencies is based around the ABCDE (Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Everything Else) approach to the acutely unwell patient, and is designed specifically for medical students and junior doctors. This approach is frequently taught in medical schools and is used in healthcare systems worldwide. The book is scenario-based where readers can work through each case and learn how to manage the acutely unwell patient. Following each case there are a set of questions in a viva format. It is divided into chapters based on different medical and surgical specialties. Each chapter contains several scenarios on common emergencies in those specialties. The style is interactive and encourages usage among small groups in preparation for examinations. The user-friendly layout makes it easy and enjoyable to work through. This book is ideal for students and junior doctors revising for clinical exams, allowing them to learn new things about certain emergencies and to consolidate their knowledge.

The Part 2 MRCOG exam consists of single best answer questions (SBAs) and extended matching questions (EMQs). It is vital that candidates have revised in accordance with the recommended syllabus and practiced relevant questions for the exam. The 3 authors of SBAs for MRCOG Part 2 have all recently sat the exam themselves, and were therefore able to identify gaps in the SBAs that previously were not addressed or assessed by available literature. This book provides questions and answers, explanations and references, which cover every subject, including clinical governance, statistics, colposcopy and HPV, oncology, fertility, urogynaecology and maternal mortality. SBAs for MRCOG Part 2 is divided in two parts: questions and answers. The first part contains over 300 questions covering 18 recommended modules. These are then followed by mock gynaecology and obstetrics exams, each with the requisite 50 questions. The second part gives the answers to each question, as well as a thorough explanation and also an up to date reference for further reading. This book can be used for individual reading or as source material for group revision.
