Book SynopsisTrade ReviewDr Will Duffin, Joint Medical Director for World Extreme Medicine "The 2023 edition is a major update from the original, which hit the shelves 10 years ago, and brings home for me just how much clinical practice has evolved over the past decade … The emphasis is very much on core principles rather than detailed discussion and the key messages are brought home with strong diagrams and images…it's all about getting the basics right! I get a lot of value from the 'Tips from the field' box, which is a reminder that PHEM is an inherently applied and practical discipline, and this is where the formidable collective experience of the author group really shines through.

Book SynopsisCardiac disease is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Catastrophic outcomes typically encountered are due to gaps in knowledge and communication between health care providers. There is a great need for a standardized approach for care of this very high-risk group of pregnant women. The book encompasses detailed obstetrics and cardiology perspectives that are crucial in the management of the commonly encountered cardiac conditions in pregnancy. This text aims to provide guidance to the whole team caring for a pregnant cardiac patient consisting of obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine, hospitalists, cardiologists, obstetric anaesthesiologists, emergency physicians, primary care providers and nurses. Features: Cardio-Obstetric team organization Preconception counselling and family planning considerations Cardiovascular disease screening and risk stratification of a pregnant cardiac patTrade ReviewThis book is most appropriate for general obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine physicians, and cardiologists interested in pregnancy care. This is certainly a book that many obstetricians and maternal-fetal medicine providers, including me, will be adding to their collection. - Doody’s Review Service Table of Contents1.Burden of cardiovascular disease. 2.The Cardio-Obstetric team. 3.Cardiovascular physiology of pregnancy and clinical implications. 4.Preconception care: Optimization of cardiac risk. 5.Termination and contraceptive options for the cardiac patient. 6.Cardiovascular symptoms: Is it pregnancy or the heart? 7.Cardiac diagnostic testing in pregnancy. 8.Anesthesia and analgesia in the pregnant cardiac patient. 9.Anticoagulation in pregnancy. 10.Congenital heart disease in pregnancy. 11.Valve disease in pregnancy. 12.Cardiomyopathies in pregnancy. 13.Vascular disease and dissection in pregnancy. 14.Acute coronary syndromes in pregnancy. 15.Pulmonary hypertension in pregnancy. 16.Arrhythmias in pregnancy. 17.Thromboembolism and amniotic fluid embolism. 18.Endocarditis in pregnancy. 19.Cardiac surgery in pregnancy. 20.Cardiovascular medications in pregnancy. 21.Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in pregnancy.

Book SynopsisBrowse's Introduction to the Symptoms & Signs of Surgical Disease is essential reading for all medical students learning the fundamentals of history taking and patient examination, when undertaking a surgical rotation, when preparing for their surgical exams and as they transition to postgraduate studies. Maintaining the engaging and readable style so central to Sir Norman Browse's early editions, the sixth edition of this classic text retains all the features beloved by generations of students while being fully revised and updated throughout in line with current surgical practice.Key Features: Current â fully revised and updated Accessible â highly structured and consistent layout, supplemented by tables and revision panels for rapid reference in the pressured run up to qualifying exams Beautifully illustrated â packed with an unrivalled collection of colour photographs and explanatory line diagrams, refreTrade ReviewOf previous editions: 'The first chapter on history taking and clinical examination sets the tone for the whole book, emphasising a careful, methodical approach, always giving the patient complete attention and never taking short cuts ... it represents extremely good value and I would strongly recommend it to all medical students and surgical trainees, both young and old.' John Lowry, Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England 'The book begins with excellent material on how to take a history and assess the overall clinical situation, including the overall appearance and mien of the patient. The book is lavishly illustrated throughout with color photographs and line drawings. The color photographs and scope of conditions illustrated is extraordinary ... This is an excellent book that amply fulfills its promise of providing information for medical students. It also will be useful to trainees in surgery and to practitioners going to underserved areas.'

Book SynopsisThis book is about how young physicians experience training as medical specialists. Much attention is now being drawn to the stresses of post graduate medical education, their potential negative impact on the qual ity of patient care, and the manner in which these stresses influence the professional and personal development of the physicians involved. The entire focus of this book is on the firsthand experience of 52 such physicians enrolled in 16 different medical specialty training programs. Because the evaluation of stress is largely a subjective one, I have elected through the perception and the cognitive pro to approach the question cesses of the trainees themselves.
