Practical General Practice: Guidelines for Effective Clinical Management 7th Edition

Practical General Practice: Guidelines for Effective Clinical Management 7th Edition

Practical General Practice is a highly practical manual, specifically designed for use during the consultation process. Containing over 1000 conditions, the unique underlying structure of the book allows the GP to see immediately what treatment is recommended and why.

Since then there have been five editions, a wealth of new research and numerous new guidelines to improve the practice of evidence-based medicine. The seventh edition brings Practical General Practice right up to date with more robust guidance than has ever previously been possible.

  • Bullet points for action which give the GP an immediate summary of the issues that must be covered in the consultation.
  • Bullet points of the key evidence which justifies those recommendations.

Neurointerventional Surgery: An Evidence-Based Approach 1st Edition

Neurointerventional Surgery: An Evidence-Based Approach 1st Edition

Unique neurointerventional surgery resource analyzes landmark literature to inform optimal patient management

The field of neurointerventional surgery is rapidly expanding with an ever-accelerating pace of technological innovations. While industry plays a significant role in designing new technology and defining indications for its use, practitioners need to evaluate and determine the most efficacious treatments for their patients. Neurointerventional Surgery: An Evidence-Based Approach by renowned endovascular neurosurgeons Min Park, M. Yashar S. Kalani, and Michael F. Stiefel examines the most common disease states in neurointerventional surgery through a critical lens. The unique text leverages evidenced-based data to inform treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes.

The text is organized by 5 sections and 32 chapters, including the latest state-of-the-art interventions. Each of the chapters provides critical analysis of the “landmark papers” that established the foundation and standards for modern neurointerventional practice. An example is the rapidly changing understanding of large vessel occlusions in ischemic stroke that now strongly supports mechanical thrombectomy as a viable and important part of the treatment armamentarium.

Key Highlights

  • Contributions from internationally recognized leaders in academic neurointerventional surgery provide insightful and analytic perspectives
  • Encompasses the full continuum of neurointerventional procedures in one resource, from hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke to neoplasms and spine conditions
  • The reader-friendly structure and chapter formatting facilitates understanding of often complicated decision-making

The evidenced-based, multifaceted approach to neurointerventional surgery presented in this textbook makes it vital reading for residents, fellows, and practitioners in neurosurgery, as well as fellows in interventional neuroradiology and interventional neurology.

Clinical Electrocardiography: A Textbook 5th Edition

Clinical Electrocardiography: A Textbook 5th Edition

b>Clinical Electrocardiography

Electrocardiography is a transthoracic recording over a period of time. Electrical activity is detected and recorded via electrodes attached to the outer surface of the skin. The recording produced by this noninvasive procedure is termed as electrocardiogram. ECGs are used to measure the rate and regularity of heartbeats as well as the size and position of the chambers, the presence of any damage to the heart, and the effects of drugs or devices used to regulate the heart.

Clinical Electrocardiography is the clearest and most accessible guide available to the application and interpretation of the ECG in clinical practice. The book proceeds from the belief that ECG patterns should not be memorized, but rather must be understood based on how they originate; it is only by achieving this level of understanding that clinicians can make the most informed diagnoses and thus manage patient care with complete confidence. This fully revised 5th edition:

  • Gives clear information about the correct diagnoses of different heart diseases based on ECG alterations.
  • Presents an exceedingly clear and linear approach to understanding the application and interpretation of the ECG in clinical practice.
  • Explains the electrical activity of the heart and basic electrocardiographic principals.
  • Offers guidance on normal ECG patterns and the changes various heart diseases produce in ECG morphology
  • Provides a practical, deductive approach to the diagnosis of arrhythmias – one of the most challenging tasks for many clinicians
  • Summarizes current knowledge of the clinical implication of rhythmic disturbances.
