Atlas
of Clinical Applications of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology
by J.M. Carrera, Asim Kurjak
In recent years, there have been dramatic technical advances in
diagnostic ultrasound. The advent of colour Doppler, power Doppler,
and more recently 3D and 4D imaging has provided medical professionals
with a whole new insight in the disciplines of obstetrics and gynaecology.
This atlas is the most up to date reference work available, providing
comprehensive coverage of the recent advances in diagnostic ultrasound.
The book is divided into 2 sections, starting with a description
of normal foetal development and anatomy. Detailed illustrations
document foetal anomalies, which can now be detected before birth.
Other aspects of obstetric ultrasound are also illustrated, including
abnormal, multiple gestation, and the placenta. The latest breakthroughs
in 3D and 4D ultrasound, foetal behaviour and power Doppler are
also elucidated in great detail. With over 1,000 clear colour images
revealing the latest developments in diagnostic ultrasound, this
important atlas will be an invaluable reference text for all obstetricians,
gynaecologists and ultra sonographers.

Essential
Psychopharmacology: The Prescriber's Guide
by Stephen M. Stahl
In response to the rapid developments in psychopharmacology, this
is a spin-off from Stephen Stahl's new, completely revised and updated
edition of his much acclaimed Prescriber's Guide. This is a pragmatic,
easy-to-use formulary for prescribing clinicians, covering the most
important drugs in use today for depression. From a review of the
first Prescriber's Guide: ' ...The clinical tips and pearls that
are found in each entry are invaluable - not only are dosing guidelines
provided, but also the author's educated and respected opinion regarding
potential advantages and disadvantages of each drug. The book's
major strength is its readability and user friendliness. The art
of psychopharmacology is finally given the space it deserves. 0133
This guidebook is an excellent source of information for the art
of prescribing psychotropic medications and belongs in every clinician's
library.' The Annals of Pharmacotherapy |

MRI
from Picture to Proton
by Donald W. McRobbie, Elizabeth A. Moore, Martin J. Graves, Martin
R. Prince
MRI from Picture to Proton presents the basics of MR practice and
theory in a unique way: backwards! The subject is approached just
as a new MR practitioner would encounter MRI: starting from the
images, equipment and scanning protocols, rather than pages of physics
theory. The reader is brought face-to-face with issues pertinent
to practice immediately, filling in the theoretical background as
their experience of scanning grows. Key ideas are introduced in
an intuitive manner which is faithful to the underlying physics
but avoids the need for difficult or distracting mathematics. Additional
explanations for the more technically inquisitive are given in optional
secondary text boxes. The new edition is fully up-dated to reflect
the most recent advances, and includes a new chapter on parallel
imaging. Informal in style and informed in content, written by recognized
effective communicators of MR, this is an essential text for the
student of MR. |

Phacoemulsification
Made Easy
by Aasheet H Desai, Jack J. Kanski
A cataract is the most common cause of blindness worldwide, and
phacoemulsification is the most common method of cataract surgery.
Specific techniques of phacoemulsification are constantly updated
and improved, thanks to the equipment now available to the ophthalmic
surgeon, and the skills required to use it. There are a number
of large recently published books on the market which deal with
phacoemulsification surgery in great detail, but until now there
has been no single title available which condenses the required
information into a smaller, more accessible format.

Plastic
Surgery: Facts
by Christopher Stone
This text has been designed specifically to help senior plastic
surgery trainees to prepare for and pass their postgraduate examinations
in plastic surgery. It will also appeal to trainees with less experience
who may use it as a core text during their training. The first edition
of this text was written by the author in preparation for the FRCS(Plast)
examination. It is a collection of notes that addresses the whole
curriculum of plastic surgery providing information on clinical
anatomy, points of technique and the fundamental principles relevant
to each subject area. There are self assessment sections and hundreds
of reviews of published articles. This text has become essential
reading for all trainees and the second edition has sought to update
the text mainly with regard to material published over the past
5 years. There is no other textbook of plastic surgery of this kind
available to trainees in plastic surgery. |
