This atlas presents a collection of richly illustrated teaching cases. It covers the fundamentals of orthopedic oncology complemented with relevant aspects that are demonstrated using individual cases. In a specialty that deals with a relatively smaller number of cases compared to tumors of other systems, this atlas prepares readers for clinical practice by combining a problem-based learning (PBL) approach, which lies on the continuum between structured and guided learning, with theory and practical insights. The book is divided into sections, arranged according to anatomical regions and the reconstruction type. Each section focuses on a specific anatomical region, and each case presentation includes the basic clinical history, basic principles, preoperative, perioperative and radiographic images, a pitfall list, treatment strategy, technical pearls, outcomes and complications. For each region the authors discuss both the biological and non-biological reconstruction techniques. The book is designed to actively involve the reader, making it an invaluable tool for all orthopedic surgeons confronted with oncologic surgery. The book is intended for trainees in orthopedics, orthopedic oncology fellows as well as practicing consultants.

Through fourteen years of work as a surgeon in Erbil, Iraq, Amir Al-Dabbagh built a sense of genuine trust and friendship with his patients, the society of Erbil, his colleagues, and students in the city, a feeling that continues to inspire him to return to the city, and record his experiences in this memoir. Amir Al-Dabbagh started his medical career in 1970, graduating from Mosul and working in Iraq for six years before a period practicing medicine and surgery in the UK. After being forced into leaving Iraq in 1993, Amir continued working in the UK at Trafford General Hospital and the Manchester Royal Infirmary. His career has been one of patient care and student training, as a consultant surgeon and dean of a medical college in Erbil through peace and war. This memoir is a collection of thoughts and experiences of the medical profession through times of war and inner turmoil, fleeing as a refugee and collected wisdom on undergraduate and postgraduate training as well as good practice in patient care and surgery. The author reflects on the importance of family and friends and a genuine love of Erbil and Iraq, a beautiful country overflowing with history and welcoming people. Ultimately, nothing would have forced him to leave Erbil but the direct threat on his life. Also included is an account of Dr Waleed Khalid's practice in Baghdad, as consultant cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon during the Iraq-Iran War and the First Gulf War, providing another interesting perspective on striving to care for one's patients as a surgeon in turbulent times. Dr Waleed's perseverance to build the first cardiothoracic and vascular unit in the north of Iraq was fraught with many obstacles, which he clearly highlights in his account.

Untersuchungen iiber das Tonusproblem im besonderen der Hohl organe haben mich schon vor Jahren zum Begriff "Tonuskrankheit" gefiihrt. Seine Begriindung hat sich durch die Feststellung ergeben, daB es Krankheiten gibt, deren Wesen in einem pathologischen Ver halten des Tonussubstrates im Sarkoplasma gelegen ist. Es hat sich ferner gezeigt, daB in heterogenen Krankheiten in diesem Veranderungen vor sich gehen, die in entscheidender Weise in den Veriauf eingreifen. In zahlreichen Mitteilungen habe ich Experimentelles und Klinisches veroffentlicht, das mir geeignet schien, das Verstehen der Tonusveran. derungen, von welchen hier die Rede ist, zu unterstiitzen. Wiederholt hat man mir nahe gelegt, meine einschlagigen Arbeiten zusammenzu. fassen. In den letzten Jahren haben sich Momente ergeben, die mich bestimmen, dieser Anregung Folge zu Ieisten. Die vorliegende Schrift bringt neben einem allgemeinen Uberblick nur einen Abschnitt aus diesem Gebiet, die Tonuskrankheiten der Kreisiauforgane, darunter weitere Ergebnisse meiner Studien. Meinen Ausfiihrungen Hegen eigene Beobachtungen zugrunde und bringe ich von diesen vor, was mir geeignet erscheint, die weitere Entwicklung dieses Teiles der pathologiscben Biologie zu fordern. Eine abschlieBende Darstellung kann icb bei dem gegenwartigen Stand meiner Kenntnisse nicht bieten, doch auf nicht gelOste Fragen aufmerksam machen. Mir ist es darum zu tun, meinen Grundgedanken darzulegen und ihn den Erwagungen des Praktikers naher zu bringen. Es erscheint mir das im Interesse der Kranken und ihrer Behandlung gelegen. Diesem Bestreben entsprechend war ich bemiiht, den Umfang dieser Arbeit tunlicbst einzuengen. Trotzdem habe ich manche Wiederholung wegen der leichteren Verstandigung nicht vermieden."

Der Aufforderung des Verlages, ein gemeinverstandliches kleines Buch auf streng wissenschaftlicher Grundlage iiber das gesunde und das kranke Herz und die BlutgefaBe zu schreiben, folgte ich um so lieber, als das Wissen und Verstehen des Kranken, um das, was ihm fehIt, mir die Vorbedingung fUr eine erfolgreiche Behandlung der Herz-und GefaBleiden zu sein scheint. Der Arzt ist auf die Mitarbeit des Kranken hier bewnders angewiesen; sie kann aber nur eintreten, wenn dem Kranken zunachst die Grundlagen des Ablaufes der Herztatigkeit verstandlich sind. Auch die Verhiitung von Herzkrankheiten wird dadurch auf eine ganz andere, sicherere Grundlage gestellt. Der Gesunde wird so erkennen, wodurch er sich vor Schaden bewahren kann. Der Kranke wird sehen, daB gerade bei Herz-und GefaBleiden unter richtiger, bewuBter Lebens fiihrung ein wahrhafter Optimismus angebracht ist. Von einer schematischen FremdworterausschaItung wurde abgesehen. Selbstverstandlich muB jedes Fremdwort erklart werden. Erfahrungen in Unterricht und Vortrag haben mich indes gelehrt, daB es fiir den Laien sicher leichter ist, "Arterien" und "Venen" zu unterscheiden als "Schlag-" oder "Pulsadern" und "Blutadern." Auf die Psychologie des Lernenden muB Riicksicht genommen werden. Fremdworterausmerzung solI ja das Verstandnis heben, nicht erschweren. Wo die entgegengesetzte Wirkung eintritt, muB das Fremdwort bleiben. Man wird hier allch so einfache, aber praktisch wichtige Dinge finden wie Anleitung zum Pulsfiihlen. Sie ist in keinem anderen derartigen Buch ange geben, und dabei doch mindestens so bedeutungsvoll auch fiir den Laien wie Messen der Korperwarme. Ein besonderer Abschnitt ist der heute sehr wichtigen und aktuellen Frage der Beziehungen zwischen Sport und Herz gewidmet."

Die Erluankungen keines Organs bedrohen Gesundheit und Leben so haufig, 'wie Erkrankungen del' Kreislauforgane. Sie nehmen in der Pathologie eine ganz uberragende SteHung ein, da sie in ihren mannigfachen Formen jedem Arzt taglich begegnen, mag er allgemeine Praxis oder mag er eine Spezialitat betreiben. Vielfach hort man von Kollegell klagen, daB die bisher erschienenen Werke uber Herz- und GefaBkrankheiten den praktischen Bediirfnissen zu wenig entsprechen, da sie ent'weder mehr didaktischen Zwecken dienen oder aber als aHzu umfangreich nul' fur das Spezialstudium in Betracht kommen. Es erscheint mil' deshalb kein unz'weckmaBiges Unternehmen zu sein; diese Lucke auszufUllen und in knapper Form die keines'wegs leicht ubersehbare Materie del' Kreislaufpathologie darzustellen. Diese Auffassung erscheint um so berechtigter, als gerade dies Gebiet in den letzten Jahren ungemein fleiBig bearbeitet und ausgebaut wurde: viele neue, zum Teil glanzende Tatsachen hat die Physiologie gelehrt, unerwartete diagnostische Mittel sind UIlS gebracht, vor aHem abel' ist del' therapeutische Apparat in einer Weise angewachsen und kompliziert, daB nicht mehr das Bessere, sondern das Viele der Feind des Guten geworden ist, wie del' kritische F. A. Hoffmann richtig betont.

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome - Chronic Pelvic Pain and Pelvic Venous Disorders: Pelvic congestion syndrome is one of the most misunderstood and least well-known medical conditions today. Because doctors most do not look for it, nor treat it: 1 in 3 (30%) of women with chronic pelvic pain get misdiagnosed and no treatment 1 in 6 (16.7%) of women and 1 in 30 (3%) of men with leg varicose veins get incomplete treatment and a higher risk of recurrence Women with intimate varicose veins of vagina, vulva, and labia do not get offered curative treatment However, research over the last 20 years has led us to know how we can investigate it and cure most people who have it. Moreover, research is showing how hemorrhoids (piles), varicocele in men and some erectile dysfunction are also due to pelvic venous disorders, and how new treatments are being developed for each. Pelvic Congestion Syndrome - Chronic Pelvic Pain and Pelvic Venous Disorders explains the concepts, the veins, how they go wrong to cause the problem - and how specialists at The Whiteley Clinic have spent 20 years developing the optimal investigations and treatments for this condition. This book is aimed at both the public and health care professionals who want to know more about this fascinating condition that affects millions of women and men in the world today.

Almost 1 in 2 people suffer from problems with leg veins - so if you don't have them then someone close to you will. Venous reflux (the major cause of leg vein problems) can cause tired or aching legs, swollen or itchy ankles. Many people suffering from venous reflux are unaware of the problem, until they develop unsightly varicose veins, thread veins, venous eczema or venous leg ulcers. Many doctors and nurses are not aware of the new information available and still treat their patients inappropriately with creams, bandages or support stockings. "Understanding Venous Reflux - the cause of varicose veins and leg ulcers" has been written by Mark Whiteley, an internationally renowned vein expert. With clear explanations, illustrated by over 50 easy-to-follow diagrams, this book makes the understanding of venous reflux - the underlying cause of varicose veins and most venous problems (such as thread veins, venous leg ulcers, venous eczema, discoloured ankles, etc.) - accessible to most readers, helping them decide on what treatment they should seek. For medical and nursing students, as well as all doctors, nurses and other health care workers who deal with legs and leg vein problems, this is an essential text.

Large intracranial lesions are among the most complex and dangerous lesions encountered by neurosurgeons, and a single neurosurgical approach often does not provide a large or safe enough corridor for effective treatment. A combined approach to these surgeries, incorporating open, endoscopic, vascular and keyhole techniques can be more successful. This comprehensive text describes in detail how to select the most appropriate approaches, as well as how to avoid any complications that may arise. High quality videos of the techniques described are available through an online version on Cambridge Core, accessible via the code printed on the inside of the cover. With over 150 colour images supporting the text, this is a definitive reference for anyone involved in intracranial tumor or vascular surgery.

Vascular surgery has seen a remarkable evolution. A discipline focused on the natural history and treatment of vascular disease by open operation is now primarily a minimally invasive specialty. Mastery of the basic pathophysiology has been retained while the transformation by improved imaging and endovascular intervention has been integrated into practice. This fourth edition of Vascular Surgery: Principles and Practice has incorporated these advances building on the specialty's past assets. Knowledge of natural history and open surgery will always have an essential role in optimal care of patients with vascular diseases. The authors' exposition of the old and the new will make this edition a valuable resource for vascular surgeons and all others dedicated to the care of vascular patients.

Endovascular intervention - using medication and devices introduced through catheters or microcatheters placed into the blood vessels through a percutaneous approach - has emerged as a relatively new minimally invasive approach to treat cerebrovascular disease and possibly intracranial neoplasms. This textbook provides a comprehensive review of principles pertinent to endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular diseases and intracranial tumors, with a detailed description of techniques for these procedures and periprocedural management strategies. Particular emphasis is placed on expert interpretation of the quality of evidence provided and implications for practice related to endovascular procedures. This will be essential reading for clinicians working in interventional neurology and cardiology, endovascular neurosurgery, vascular surgery and neuroradiology.
