Surgical Decision Making: Beyond the Evidence Based Surgery 1st ed. 2016 Edition

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=3319298224]

This text provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of the major issues specific to the surgical decision-making process.  These include patient’s anatomy and pathophysiology as well as the magnitude of the injury at hand, the surgeon’s own physiologic and mental status, training and experience, and many other factors such as creativity, leadership skills, and overall “biochemistry” of the environment. The text reviews theoretical as well as objective information that surgeons use to make intraoperative decisions in situations, often with very limited data; decisions that will decide between a patient’s living or dying, such as in trauma surgery and other complex surgeries. How surgeons choose one technical approach over another in these situations is covered. This book fills a critical need for resource materials on these topics and includes both theoretical as well as practical presentations of many typical patients seen in operating rooms around the world.

Surgical Decision Making: Beyond the Evidence Based Surgery is written by academic and clinical practicing surgeons that face intraoperative decision situations on a daily basis and therefore provides a unique and valuable resource in the field for surgeons currently in training and for those already in clinical or research practice.

Lower Extremity Wounds: A Problem-Based Approach 1st Edition

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=0470512660]

Lower limb wounds are frequently observed in clinical practice and often present a real challenge for health care practitioners. Lower extremity wound care requires a multidisciplinary approach involving a number of different health care professionals in order to achieve optimum patient care. Nurses and podiatrists, in particular, are frequently involved in the assessment and management of lower extremity wounds, often working in partnership.
Lower Extremity Wounds: A problem-based learning approach is the first wound care book that has been written as a joint venture by experienced nurses and podiatrists, all with expert knowledge in wound care. It highlights the importance of multi-professional collaboration to encourage the crossing and dismantling of professional boundaries, to increase understanding of each other’s roles, and ultimately to ensure that the patient receives the best available evidence-based interventions during their health care journey.
Taking a problem-based learning approach, each of the ten chapters highlights best practice in the management of wounds by type, discusses clinical guidelines and current evidence, and links this theory to a clinical scenario thus bridging the theory to practice gap. Numerous full-colour illustrations are used throughout the book to visually enhance the reader’s learning.
Aimed at both students and practitioners, this book is essential reading for anyone involved in lower extremity wound care.

Medicine, Knowledge and Venereal Diseases in England, 1886-1916 (Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in Modern History) 1st ed. 2016 Edition

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=3319324543]

This book reveals the ever-present challenges of patient care at the forefront of medical knowledge. Syphilis and gonorrhoea played upon the public imagination in Victorian and Edwardian England, inspiring fascination and fear. Seemingly inextricable from the other great ‘social evil’, prostitution, these diseases represented contamination, both physical and moral. They infiltrated respectable homes and brought terrible suffering and stigma to those afflicted. Medicine, Knowledge and Venereal Diseases takes us back to an age before penicillin and the NHS, when developments in pathology, symptomology and aetiology were transforming clinical practice. This is the first book to examine systematically how doctors, nurses and midwives grappled with new ideas and laboratory-based technologies in their fight against venereal diseases in voluntary hospitals, general practice and Poor Law institutions. It opens up new perspectives on what made competent and safe medical professionals; how these standards changed over time; and how changing attitudes and expectations affected the medical authority and autonomy of different professional groups.

On Rounds: 1000 Internal Medicine Pearls 1st Edition

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=1496322215]

Clinical judgment is a critical aspect – perhaps the most critical aspect – of efficient, accurate, and cost-effective patient care. Focusing on essential clinical skills, On Rounds: 1000 Internal Medicine Pearls helps clinicians in training and in practice to identify the critical findings that will simplify complex clinical problems and lead to an accurate diagnosis. One thousand easy-to-remember clinical aphorisms, or “pearls,” help you distinguish the important findings from the incidental, pointing out the distinctive features amidst the mass of data that is accumulated in the evaluation of a sick patient, and leading to the development of mature clinical judgment.

  • Go “on rounds” with one of the most respected educators in internal medicine and learn from his nearly 50 years of clinical experience.
  • Focus on the areas that are often a source of confusion for students, trainees, and even seasoned practitioners.
  • Learn each pearl in a relevant clinical context, with tables, clinical images, and physiology information, where appropriate.
  • Recognize “black pearls:” statements that, although widely believed, are demonstrably false.
  • Improve your clinical judgment skills whether you’re a resident or an experienced clinician.
  • Carry these pocket-sized pearls with you for quick reference.
Now with the print edition, enjoy the bundled interactive eBook edition, which can be downloaded to your tablet and smartphone or accessed online and includes features like:
