Book SynopsisThe second edition of a popular review book specially designed for candidates who are studying for the American Board of Anesthesiology Applied Oral Examinations. Fully revised and featuring 12 new chapters alongside new essential OSCE information, it captures all of the essential knowledge necessary to pass these examinations.Trade Review'I can think of no greater resource for anesthesiologists preparing to take the anesthesiology oral board examination than this book. It condenses high yield information into manageable lessons for the busy anesthesiologist and the 'Knock-out Treatment Plan' sections take complex information and titrate it down to approachable, easy to remember points. In her second edition of this book, Dr. Lovich-Sapola has updated the impressive list of oral board topics. There are also twelve new chapters to reflect changes in the exam since the last edition of which the chapters on point of care ultrasound (POCUS) and intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) will be particularly useful. This edition also includes information regarding the most recent American Board of Anesthesiology exam structure including the Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) which will be welcome to examinees. Overall, I cannot recommend this book enough. I am thrilled that Dr. Lovich- Sapola has worked so tirelessly to give the anesthesiology community a second edition of her already fantastic oral board review book!'

Book SynopsisThis book is a question book that offers single best answers (SBA) to 300 questions related to topics in general medicine. In order to further enhance knowledge and understanding, detailed answers have been included. This book is designed as both a revision and learning aid, with questions being set in a mock-examination format which can be completed under timed conditions.The primary target audience of this book is clinical medical students who are revising for examinations. However, questions have been planned in a way that a fairly large secondary target audience will be reached as well. This includes students who are transitioning from pre-clinical to clinical.As recently qualified medical graduates who have had the option of both online and book-based questions, the authors feel that students often prefer a Single Best Answers book that aids them in advancing their medical knowledge rather than online question banks, which can often have very repetitive and one-dimensional questions. Having questions in paper format replicates examination conditions better than online question banks and, therefore, offers a more realistic revision experience. In addition, though SBAs are becoming increasingly more common as an examination style with medical schools, there are very few SBA question books available. As such, medical students will find this book highly useful in the preparation for their examinations.Table of ContentsAbbreviations List; Reference Values; Paper 1 Questions; Paper 1 Answers; Paper 2 Questions; Paper 2 Answers; Paper 3 Questions; Paper 3 Answers; Paper 4 Questions; Paper 4 Answers; Paper 5 Questions; Paper 5 Answers; Index.

Book Synopsis`General practitioners are in the front line where viral diseases are concerned, and they may sometimes need support in what is a rapidly developing field. The twenty-first century has seen a revolution in the speed and range of laboratory diagnosis as well as a new phase in viral immunisation and antiviral treatment. Advances in clinical medicine have led to new susceptibilities to viruses, and pandemic viral diseases as well as expanding travel to the developing world, have led to viral exposures that were rarely encountered in the past. This useful book is based on case vignettes that describe situations often seen in general practice. It is based on plentiful references to the current literature and brings the latest knowledge on laboratory diagnostics, infection control/public health measures and antiviral treatments to the attention of general practitioners and trainees in medical microbiology and public health medicine. It can also serve as a primer for postgraduate examinations in medicine. It can be read with interest and referred to with benefit.'
