The kidneys participate in all vital processes of the body to maintain overall homeostasis and health. When kidneys are injured during surgical interventions, metabolic and hemodynamic control is disrupted, leading to dysfunction associated with greater mortality, length of hospital stay and cost.

"Peri-operative Kidney Injury" presents the epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes associated with kidney injury during the peri-operative period. Concepts and principles of care to prevent kidney complications during surgical procedures are provided to equip health care professionals along with strategies to manage acute kidney injury and associated challenges when they occur. Chapters detail diverse surgical settings, ranging from the more common, such as abdominal, cardiac and vascular surgeries, to the intricately complex, including the use of the left ventricular assist device and organ transplants. This practical and comprehensive text blends the evidence-based standards of care with cutting edge advances in the field, while also providing the reader with a peek into innovations on the horizon.

Problem Based Neurosurgery is a remarkable fusion of recent advances in neuro-imaging and neurosurgery with modern teaching of integrated system based curricula. It approaches each problem systematically from history, and physical examination to differential diagnosis, investigations and management options. The book captures four decades of advances and experiences in diagnosis and management of patients. The problems upon which the book is based are real patients and cover all aspects of neurosurgical practice with up to date modern images. The blend of new scientific discoveries, modern imaging and the art of smart history and physical examinations underpins the book to improve diagnosis, investigation and the care of neurosurgical patients.The main thrust of this book is that it is based on clinical problems faced by fellows, residents and students, rather than traditional topic based. Problem based learning and management is the modern method of teaching in the new curriculum of teaching neurosurgery. It is a practical handbook that will help students, residents and community doctors alike. There is no similar book on the market that fulfills the objectives of this handbook.

Drs. Michael Sughrue of the University of California San Francisco and Charles Teo of the Centre of Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery in Sydney Australia have teamed up to deliver a current, comprehensive issue on minimally invasive intracranial surgery.? 11 chapters cover all aspects of this type of surgery, including repair techniques, complication avoidance, and special considerations for movement disorders, tumors, vascular lesions and more.

This issue of the Thoracic Surgery Clinics is dedicated to a technical aspect of the clinical practice with which surgeons have become increasingly familiar through the years. The term "chest wall surgery? refers to a wide variety of procedures, varying from a straightforward removal of one rib or the correction of a congenital malformation to an extremely complex resection and subsequent reconstruction of the chest wall primarily aimed at preserving geometrical and functional integrity. As such, chest wall surgery can really offer scenarios where the creativity and the technical skills are emphasized to an unprecedented level in the thoracic surgical practice.

With the adoption of digital photography on a wide scale and advent of new technologies such as 3-D patient imaging, this is an area that is rapidly changing and of interest to both established and novice facial plastic surgeons. Most surgeons have limited experience with photography prior to starting a practice and need guidance in regard to selecting proper equipment, setting up a portrait studio, and obtaining high-quality standardized series of photos that can be used in presentations and publications. There are also a multitude of issues related to managing the vast amount of data that surgeons are now accumulating.

Topics in this publication include: Camera and lens selection; Setting up a medical portrait studio; Photography consent and related legal issues; Pre- and post-operative portrait photography/standardized photos for various procedures; Pitfalls of nonstandardized photography; Morphing images to demonstrate potential surgical outcomes; Photoshop tools and tricks every facial plastic surgeon should know; Intraoperative photography; Digital asset management; Objective facial photograph analysis using imaging software; Evaluating symmetry and facial motion using 3D videography; Research and clinical applications for 3D imaging.

The use of perforator flaps has heralded a new era in reconstructive surgery. Perforator flaps are less bulky than traditional flaps and do not use muscle tissue.? These characteristics allow reconstructions using these flaps to achieve the best functional and aesthetic results in both the reconstruction site and the donor site. This issue of Clinics in Plastic Surgery provides guidance to help plastic surgeons incorporate perforator flap techniques in their practices. Editor Peter Neligan, one of the world's leading experts in perforator flaps, has assembled highly experienced authors to share their expertise with Clinics readers.

It has by now been established that carpal ligamentary lesions may lead to instability and ultimately to carpal arthritis. However, the variety of anatomopathological classifications and the multiplicity of surgical repair techniques reflect the difficulty of grasping this ligamentary pathology. Clinical analysis and traditional investigation techniques must successfully address the complexity of the wrist, which is largely due to the number of synchronized bones involved in every movement of the hand. The clinical analysis of the wrist is insufficient to precisely measure the mobility of each carpal bone, making paraclinical examinations also significant for clinical diagnosis. The tools available today range from X-rays to arthroscopy, including arthroCTscans and soon MRI. As for repair techniques, their diversity must not hide the fact that a biomechanical and physiological principle is involved and must be identified. This book presents the findings of an expert group in the field of wrist pathology. It seeks to analyze, understand, explain and make comprehensible, if not obvious, the reflections that each practitioner should employ during the diagnosis and treatment of carpal ligamentary lesions. The focus is consciously not on degenerative carpal pathology, which usually enjoys more visibility. We hope that readers will benefit from the fact that fragmented pieces of knowledge are gathered in a single work, that they will find in this initial synthesis an inspiration to rethink a difficult and sometimes thankless surgery and to further the surgical advances of the 21st century.
