“Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest gynaecological cancers. In most cases, it is detected as an advanced tumor, since early diagnosis is challenging for most forms of the disease. Surgery and platinum-based compounds have been the mainstay of therapyfor many years. The prognosis for ovarian cancer depends on the type of surgery and on the response to chemotherapy. Other regimens have little effect if the disease does not respond to platinum. However, several new therapies are emerging including bevacizumab and PARP-inhibitors, among others. This book provides a detailed body of information important to an understanding of the clinical aspects and management of such a challenging disease. The authors strive to provide the physician with insights and illustrations as well as useful tips and tricks for the everyday clinical practice. Several world-known experts in the field participated in this fruitful effort offering their knowledge and everyday experience, as well as valuable and original photos from their personal archives as well as the most recent and up-to-date guidelines in the field. In this book, we evaluate all the challenging pathways from the moment of diagnosis to the surgical and medical therapies. The pathogenesis, the variation of the morphological types and the problems in differential diagnosis are also discussed. Moreover, we provide an overview of recent attempts to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of ovarian cancer as well as a discussion of fertility sparing alternatives and minimal invasive (laparoscopic and robotic) approaches. All the new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies that lay out the foundation for these improvements are presented. Areas of future research are also discussed, supported by a wealth of up-to-date reference material. The book is written at a level appropriate for both medical students, physicians as well as gynaecological oncologists, pathologists, and medical oncologists”–

The Oxford Textbook of Neurohaematology is a single source of knowledge on the diverse neurological conditions associated with malignant and classical haematological diseases. The book covers the full range of haematological diseases, both malignant and classical, that impact the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems.
The book is divided into three sections. In the first section, neurological conditions associated with malignant haematological diseases are presented. This section begins with chapters on primary haematological malignancies of the nervous system including primary central nervous system lymphomas, vitreoretinal lymphoma, and other rare primary malignancies such as Hodgkin disease and lymphoproliferative disorders. Next, a chapter on histiocytic tumours of the central nervous system presents the neurological conditions associated with the Langerhans and non-Langerhans histiocytoses. This is followed by chapters covering the neurological complications of systemic myeloid and lymphoid malignancies. The second section of the book covers neurological complications of the treatments used in the management of haematological malignancies such as chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy including chimeric antigen receptor T cells. The third and final section of the book features chapters on the neurological complications associated with classical haematological diseases including disorders of red blood cells (e.g., sickle cell anaemia), disorders of platelets and coagulation (e.g., immune thrombocytopenia), and disorders of white blood cells (e.g., hyperviscosity syndrome).
Edited by leading authorities in the field, this book will serve as a useful resource for neurologists, haematologists, and oncologists, as well as for subspecialists and allied health professionals involved in the management of haematological diseases and their neurological manifestations.
Human Papillomavirus: Proving and Using a Viral Cause for Cancer presents a steady and massive accumulation of evidence about the role of HPV and prevention of HPV-induced cancer, along with the role and personal commitment of many scientists of different backgrounds in establishing global relevance. This exercise involved years of personal commitment to proving or disproving an idea that aroused initial skepticism, and that still has difficult implications for some. It remains one of the big successes of medicine that exploited both established medical science dating back to the nineteenth century and new molecular genetic science during a time of transition in medicine.

Perfect for medical students and respiratory nurses, Respiratory Medicine: Lecture Notes will also earn a place in the libraries of early-career medical doctors and residents with an interest in respiratory medicine.
More than 30% of patients who visit a doctor each year have respiratory complaints. These can range from minor infections (such as the common cold) to chronic obstructive conditions (such as asthma).
The updated second edition of this wide-ranging book looks at the respiratory problems that nursing and healthcare professionals are most likely to encounter in clinical practice, including new sections on Coronavirus and the most up-to-date treatments for bronchitis and other respiratory conditions. Beginning with an overview of the respiratory system, the author then discusses history taking, and the physical assessment and secondary tests needed to assess a patient with an undiagnosed respiratory condition. This is followed by chapters on the aetiology, assessment and management of specific acute and chronic conditions, as well as a chapter on the pharmacology of respiratory disease. Finally, the author looks at intermediate, home-based and end of life care.
Featuring boxes, tables, diagrams, reader activities, a list of abbreviations and a full glossary, this book offers a holistic and practical approach to caring for a patient with a respiratory disease.
