Nova Science Publishers Inc Regional Outcome Measure in Hand Surgery
Book SynopsisInjuries and disease commonly affect the hand and these can significantly affect the ability of an individual to perform activities of daily living. The use of regional outcome measures or scoring systems is important as it allows comparison between these injuries and disease, and allows clinicians to assess progression and the effects of different treatment modalities. A patient-completed questionnaire is efficient in terms of time and resources, and allows the assessment of outcome without the need to attend an outpatient clinic. The Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, the Patient Evaluation Measure (PEM) questionnaire, and the Michigan Hand Outcome (MHO) questionnaire are a few of the region-specific outcome measures commonly used for the hand, and are patient-completed questionnaires. They are frequently used to assess self-reported patient outcome in orthopaedics, rheumatology and neurology. In this book, the validity, reliability, responsiveness and bias of the various questionnaires used for the assessment of the hand is discussed.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Transfusion: Think About It
Book SynopsisBurn surgery requires an infrastructure to ensure safe and accurate debridement of the necrotic burnt tissue. Blood products are a vital piece of the jigsaw, to ensure maintenance of a circulating volume and facilitate homeostasis. Is there such thing as a "routine" transfusion? The transfusion needs to be a "tailored" transfusion to meet the specific needs of the individual. One problem is maintenance of the circulation during surgery. This book reviews research in the aspect of transfusion and emphasises the unique set of problems each major burn poses.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Principles of Research: From Idea to Publication
Book SynopsisInterest in surgical research was a decisive factor in the surgical advances seen in the 20th century. From the "stormy petrel" of surgery (John B. Murphy) to the pioneering Mayo brothers and the gifted surgeons who revolutionised cardiac surgery (Drs Blalock, DeBakey, both Lilleheis, and Wangensteen), surgeons have advanced their practice by carefully planned and conducted studies. The principles of surgical research formulated by these leaders still pertain to the many challenges of contemporary surgery. Research results have a direct benefit when applied to the clinical sciences and patient care. Procedures that were once extraordinary, such as open-heart surgery, are now almost routine. Knowing that research is the basis for evidence-based medicine makes it obvious that interest in research facilitates the understanding and application of evidence-based principles. Principles of Research: From Idea to Publication draws on Dr Toledo-Pereyra''s extensive experience as a surgeon, teacher, researcher, and research director to present profiles of accomplished scientists who exemplify the best traditions of surgical research.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Insights into Bariatric Surgery, Postoperative
Book SynopsisThe world-wide problem of obesity has increased to epidemic proportions over the last several decades and continues to grow. Obesity is now a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the western world. Due to the limited success of dieting, lifestyle changes and medical therapy, bariatric or weight-loss surgery has become increasingly important in the fight against obesity. At this time, bariatric surgery -- now commonly called metabolic surgery -- has been shown to be the most effective and durable treatment for obesity. This book provides the reader with a comprehensive, evidenced-based and updated review of all aspects relating to bariatric surgery. The introductory chapters provide a broad overview of basic concepts such as the epidemiology of obesity, its medical treatment and related psychological issues. Preoperative evaluation of the bariatric patient and selection of the most appropriate operation is thoroughly discussed. The different types of operations and their risks and benefits are examined in depth. The text also focuses on practical issues in postoperative management and nutritional follow-up. Specific attention is given to pre-pregnancy and pregnancy considerations including pregnancy outcome following bariatric surgery and the optimal bariatric-pregnancy interval. Written by international experts, this book is a valuable resource for a broad spectrum of clinicians and healthcare professionals dealing with obesity. It also serves as a pragmatic reference for all those involved in the care of bariatric or obese patients who are considering bariatric surgery. Medical and nursing students as well as residents in surgery, medicine, obstetrics/gynaecology, and family practice will also benefit from it at any stage of their training.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Allografts: Health Benefits, Symptoms of
Book SynopsisThis book represents a refreshing and broad view of the nature of allografts, as well as the challenges involved in their use as critical therapy for a variety of different health problems. It is the work of a group of very talented and experienced physicians representing different medical disciplines, but all of them intimately involved with the use of allografts, presenting their distilled experience. The notion of allografts is explored in specialty areas ranging from orthopaedics and thoracic surgery to kidney and liver transplantation, in an effort to identify certain common themes having to do with the immunological response to the allograft and the various methods to avoid rejection. Chapters in this book present current challenges in the use of bone allografts in complex orthopaedic procedures, in addition to dealing in depth with the use of hepatic and renal allografts in liver and kidney transplantation. Complex issues, such as the role of the immune system trying to deal with allograft acceptance or rejection on the one hand, and the presence of hepatitis B or C infection on the other hand, with the addition of the possibility of coexisting hepatocellular malignancy, are at the core of this book. The authors present the therapeutic problems seen in clinical practice and offer possible solutions, based on their extensive experience. This book will be a valuable resource to scientists involved in disciplines such as transplantation, immunology, and orthopaedics, as the themes that are analysed here cover a broad range of areas.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Computer-Assisted Surgery: New Developments,
Book SynopsisOver the past decades, the field of computer-aided surgery has experienced tremendous developments due to the rapid growth of computing power and the improvements in imaging modalities. Based on the guidance of preoperative planning with CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or other volumetric image data associated with the patient, surgical navigation is being widely used in various human anatomies (eye, ear, nose, pelvis, etc.) for minimising the risks and improving the precision of the surgeries. Furthermore, robotic systems enable surgeons to perform advanced procedures with greater visualization and dexterity than traditional technology. In this book, the authors present current developments, applications and potential hazards in the domain of computer-aided surgery and robotic surgery. Topics in this compilation include surgical navigation system based on 3D Slicer using augmented reality (AR) technology; computer-assisted minimally invasive surgery; a navigation system in bimaxillary orthognathic surgery; spinal surgical navigation system; scrub nurse robot systems for laparoscopic surgery; ultrasound imaging for robotic orthopedic surgery, etc.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Third Generation Percutaneous Vertebral
Book SynopsisVertebroplasty and kyphoplasty represented and represent two mainstays of minimally invasive spine surgery. Inevitably, these procedures left some unresolved issues that must be solved. This monograph is born from a concrete and shared necessity: to clarify indications and limits, to assess advantages and disadvantages and to identify new perspectives relating to use of third generation devices for percutaneous vertebral augmentation. Actually, the concept of minimally invasive surgery and tissue sparing surgery are revolutionizing always the surgical approach to many diseases, especially for spine surgery: therefore it is important to know the "when and how". This text does not want to be anything more than a "short essay", and it is aimed especially to young people, residents and specialists, but also to all those who are desirous to find and to read "something" that can be a basis for reflection, even in order to improve their surgical technique. In line with United States and Northern Europe, we are sure that the differences between Orthopaedic Surgeon and Neurosurgeon should be complementary, in order to prompt a curious comparison for creating partnerships and not barriers. In fact, this monograph is the result of the work among Neurosurgeons and Orthopaedic Surgeons. This work is born from the collaboration of many surgeons: the "elder" ones, who have offered all their knowledge and experience and the "young" ones, who are eager to learn, know and especially to share between them. In this text, spine functional anatomy and biomechanics brief mentions will be done, in order to understand well the etiology and the evolution of spinal pathology, both traumatic, metabolic and tumoral; the different treatment options will be taken into account, the open and minimally invasive techniques, the percutaneous approaches as well as third generation devices for percutaneous vertebral augmentation. The goal is not to compare the different devices in order to identify a winner. The real goal is to understand what pathological condition can bring out the best properties of a specific device, in order to establish which device is the most appropriate in a specific case. Therefore, through the experiences of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Neurosurgeons and Neuroradiologists, we will explore and identify the correct procedures, but especially the potential "red flags", in this field of research.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Postoperative Pain: From Management to Recovery
Book SynopsisMost patients who undergo surgery will experience acute postoperative pain, making postoperative pain management an important topic. Pain management has shifted towards a multimodal approach and away from the traditional opioid administration due in part to the opioid crisis. As opioids came to be abused, with many starting after initially being prescribed opioids by their physician, the focus on how to manage pain changed. However, a multimodal approach also has benefits outside of decreasing use of opioids such as targeting multiple pathways of pain to lead to more favorable outcomes for patients. A multimodal approach does not consist of the same approach for each patient. It gives the ability to tailor the pain management approach to the patient and the type of surgery. In this textbook, the approach to postoperative pain management for different surgeries will be highlighted. The different modalities used for a multimodal approach will be defined with their underlying pathophysiology explained. This textbook will give a basic understanding of how the combination of multiple medications often results in superior outcomes, with better patient satisfaction and often lower doses being required due the additive effects of different pathways being targeted.

Imperial College Press Surgical Talk: Revision In Surgery (2nd Edition)
Book SynopsisAs final examinations approach, medical students often become overwhelmed by the sheer volume of knowledge required to pass all subjects in one go, including surgery, medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology, pharmacology, and psychiatry. Students cannot know each of these subjects in as much detail as they did during their individual attachments and they need to concentrate on important topics rather than minutiae.Whereas existing textbooks cover many topics very well and in great detail, they are lengthy and difficult to read in a short space of time; some subjects are poorly covered and give no real understanding of practical management and logical thought processes — the exact requirements for passing finals.In this second edition, each chapter has been extensively rewritten and updated with the help of experts in their respective subjects.Table of Contents# Surgical Talk # Fluid Balance and Parenteral Nutrition # Pre- and Postoperative Management # Trauma, Shock, Head Injuries and Burns # Liver, Biliary Tract and Pancreas # Disorders of the Oesophagus, Stomach and Duodenum # Small Intestine and Colon # Rectum and Anus # The Acute Abdomen # Breast Surgery # Lumps in the Head, Neck and Skin # Hernias # Vascular Disease # Urology # Orthopaedics # Ear, Nose and Throat # The Exam

TFM Publishing Ltd The Memoirs of Allen Oldfather Whipple: The man
Book SynopsisTo the abdominal surgeon a first successful Whipple procedure is what a first combat mission is to the fighter pilot: a symbol of competence -- the fruits of prolonged training. Not many surgeons managed to incorporate their names into a commonly used eponym; Allen Whipple did and so became immortalised as a household name to surgeons world-wide. Yet, little has been known and written about Whipple, the great American surgeon -- the person and his other interests. This is what this book is about: an edited version of Whipple's previously unpublished memories, which until now -- for more than forty years -- has collected dust. In these pages the retired Whipple describes the journey of his life from the very beginning in Persia, where he was born, to the very end in New Jersey where he died. He provides snap shots of himself, his family and friends, his colleagues, and the changing times in which he lived. The editors have abbreviated the original manuscript by a third and have added footnotes and illustrations. An introduction and 'end page' adds perspective to the memoirs. It has been said "God put the pancreas in the back because he did not want surgeons messing with it". Allen Whipple had the courage to mess with the pancreas and to show us how to mess with it successfully. But what kind of man was he and how did he arrive at his achievements? Find out in this book.

TFM Publishing Ltd Cultivating a Thinking Surgeon: New perspectives
Book SynopsisThis book provides a classic supporting text for teachers and learners in the surgical field. The European Working Time Directive is just one of many factors that will radically change the way doctors work in the future. The aim of this book is to enable all those who teach young surgeons in the clinical setting to think about and prepare for a new and fresh approach to learning. The particular significance of this publication is that it makes a proper distinction between education and training, identifies the reasons why the postgraduate development of doctors as surgeons must involve education rather than merely training, and recognises that the education of surgeons must take place in the clinical setting. The book provides support in five areas: 1. It will enable surgical educators to develop on from the current and traditional teaching/learning relationship. 2. It takes as its basis the importance of professional values. 3. It provides for the first time a thorough educational framework, which will need to be utilised by the learner and educator to establish the educational focus of each trainee placement. 4. For the first time, it supports teachers and learners in developing the processes of reflective practice on a formal basis in surgical education. 5. It takes a new look at the assessment of the trainee in the light of new requirements and the needs of the new approaches to surgical education.Table of ContentsThe significance of clinical practice in the education of a surgeon; Professional values and the traditions of practice in surgery; The importance in postgraduate medicine of educational clues, principles and aims; Nurturing the learner and supporting learning in the clinical settings; Assessment and its role in education for clinical practice: an overview; Understanding and developing clinical thinking; Assessing clinical thinking; Exploring the knowledge base of surgical practice; Assessing technical and operative procedures in the context of teaching and learning surgery; Developing and enriching surgical teaching and learning through practitioner research; Index.

TFM Publishing Ltd Principles of Surgery: Everything you need to
Book SynopsisThis book is a succinct set of notes in a question and answer format covering the fundamental principles of surgery. It is aimed at anyone who works in a surgical speciality, not only surgeons, but also nurses, operating department assistants, assistants in surgical practice, trainee surgeons, junior doctors, dentists, podiatrists and medical students of all surgically-oriented disciplines. Many facts and principles are important to those who work in a surgical field, but there is no single unifying book that has covered all the basic, essential material that EVERYONE should know, regardless of their discipline. Equally, many of the existing surgical principle books are written purely for surgeons and, of course, eighty percent of their content is relevant only to surgeons and medical students, and not the wider audience. There is a lot of redundancy, not to mention expense, in reading these books. As well as surgeons, there is a large group of people who work in surgery who need to know the answers to such things, for example: How the sizing system for needles works? How does diathermy work? Why do we wear gloves? What types of suture materials are available? How do wounds heal? This book is equally relevant to postgraduate surgeons, especially with the reorganisation in surgical training becoming ever more prevalent. It is now even more essential to have a firm grasp of the fundamental principles of surgery before specialising into one of today's surgical disciplines.Table of ContentsPre-operative investigations; Management of concomitant medical conditions; Preparation for theatre; Pathways and protocols; Theatre design and function; Anaesthesia; Principles of surgery; Basic surgical techniques; Recovery and immediate postoperative care; Postoperative ward care; Postoperative complications; Late complications, discharge and follow-up; Index.

TFM Publishing Ltd Pearce's Surgical Companion: Essential notes for
Book SynopsisThis book represents a review of all the subjects with which a junior doctor needs to be effortlessly conversant in their postgraduate surgical exams in order to qualify as a specialist trainee. It covers a full range of subjects, concisely written to aid the revision process and includes basic science, physiology, anatomy, examination techniques, operative surgery and clinical surgery topics. The latter two sections are further subdivided into their relevant surgical speciality for clarity and ease of learning: general surgery, orthopaedics, vascular surgery, ENT surgery, breast and endocrine surgery, and urology. The physiology section is further sub-divided into the following areas: respiratory, cardiac, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and general. The purpose of the book is to pull together the main subject areas to provide a coherent overview of the facts, as well as the principles, which examiners are looking for when deciding whether a doctor has the requisite skills and knowledge to proceed further with their training in surgery as a specialist. It contains essential required information, which would otherwise take months to gather by reading a variety of textbooks, each one specifically aimed at its own specialist topic.

TFM Publishing Ltd Clinical Surgery Made Easy: A companion to
Book SynopsisCreating a differential diagnosis and rationalising a treatment plan is a challenging task for medical students and young doctors at the early stage of their training. This process will also expose deficiencies in core knowledge and problems in applying certain components of their knowledge to varied clinical situations. Guided by experienced teachers, students and doctors in training best learn these skills at the bedside. Patients do not always present with classic textbook descriptions and clinical scenarios can often be varied. During the limited period of clinical training allocated in the surgical curriculum, students may not receive sufficient exposure to an evidence-based approach and decision making in clinical surgery. There is evidence that problem-based learning (PBL) stimulates critical thinking; frequent patient encounters, focused reading, commitment and enthusiasm to acquire the essential core knowledge are all necessary prerequisites in achieving the best outcome from problem-based learning. This book addresses the essentials; common clinical encounters, a clinical decision-making approach, care pathways, the essential core knowledge of clinical anatomy, pathophysiology pertinent to the topic and a concise discussion of management pathways based on the most up-to-date guidelines (e.g. NICE, SIGN, BASO, BSG) are presented in a student friendly style which makes it easier to retain facts. Frequently asked questions at examinations are emphasised during the discussion. This approach will guide and stimulate the reader to recognise, recall and apply the relevant facts to given clinical situations. Also included are self-assessment questions: EMQs (Extended Matching Questions), SBAs (Single Best Answers) and True/False types with relevant explanatory notes. The questions are created to reinforce the concepts and to try to inspire the student's thirst for knowledge. The book is primarily aimed at undergraduates and junior doctors.

Book SynopsisAll surgeons want to be better surgeons... They work hard to be respected by their peers, appreciated by their patients, and valued by their communities. Most of the estimated 200 million surgeries performed worldwide every year go as anticipated, with positive patient outcomes. However, the number of surgical complications and preventable medical errors still remains unacceptably high. Why are experienced surgeons still creating so many adverse events? More importantly, what can surgeons do to better address the situation? This book seeks to answer these questions. The book provides pragmatic examples on how good surgeons can grow from being technically brilliant to becoming empathetic and capable of providing safe, compassionate, and more effective patient care. The book follows trauma surgeon Philip Stahel's 20-year journey from his 'rookie years' in internship and residency, to his development as a global patient safety advocate, renowned academician and teacher, and compassionate surgeon. The book touches on why our current patient safety protocols and checklists fail to keep patients safe and how a physician-driven initiative with credible leadership is needed to build a sustainable 'culture of patient safety'. Written for a wide audience and based on the paradigm that "good judgment comes from experience which comes from poor judgment", the book provides in-depth coverage of all the critical and timely components of safe surgical care, relates practical tips for improving the quality of partnerships between surgeons and patients, and offers a practical guide on how to reduce the learning curve to becoming a better surgeon.Trade Review"I applaud Dr Stahel for presenting a rich compilation of his honest and remarkable first-hand experiences and the collective work of doctors and health care leaders to reduce the endemic variation in medical quality that contributes to the #3 cause of death in the U.S. today -- medical care itself. -- Marty Makary MD, Author of The New York Times bestseller, "Unaccountable" "Blood, Sweat & Tears is a great book, one of a kind, and destined to be a medical classic. What makes the book exceptional is the narrative about a difficult human endeavor, often done imperfectly, by humans who have been told they should be perfect. This quintessential paradox is why this book is a practical story about life and will likely be of interest and enjoyment to many outside the realm of medicine." -- Wade Smith MD, Co-founding Editor, "Patient Safety in Surgery" Blood, Sweat & Tears is a unique book - clearly one of a kind, and surprisingly not just of interest to those who work in healthcare. The book has a captivating narrative flow and the medical aspects are very easy to understand for non-clinical/laypersons as well. I will be sending my "baby boomer" parents a copy as it becoming increasingly important for the community to understand the complexity and challenges of our current healthcare system. My take-home point from this book is that we can and we should be involved in our healthcare choices and ask important and pertinent questions. If you're like me, and you're interested in patient safety and eventually receiving high quality medical care if you ever become a patient, if you have a sense of humor, and you would like a different perspective on healthcare, this is the book for you! Nicole Morgan, MHABlood, Sweat & Tears: How to Become a Better Surgeon is a remarkable book that emphasizes empathy and communication, provocatively authored by a surgeon. However, as the reader will soon discover, Philip Stahel is not your ordinary surgeon. I strongly recommend every health care provider read this book. I further recommend this book be mandatory reading annually for every medical student, intern, resident and fellow-in-training, most especially chapters 3 and 4, which epitomize William Osler's advice, "Listen to the patient - he is telling you the diagnosis". In these 20 chapters, the many other insightful quotes alone are worth the purchase price. - Jerome M.Buckley, MD Retired CEO/Chairman, COPIC Companies, Associate Clinical Professor, University of Colorado School of MedicineThe emphasis on empathy is a crucial but neglected part of quality improvement. Why do our patients so frequently not adhere to our instructions? Putting yourself in the patient's position creates an essential surgeon-patient bond that underlies an optimal outcome. Dr. Stahel did not write the golden rule of "love thy neighbor as thyself", but it is clear that he sees this as an essential part of the surgeon-patient partnership. Both surgeon and patient will feel this effect, and it will pay dividends for both parties in the near and distant future. It is an important but disturbing reflection that many medical students lose their empathetic qualities during their clerkship years. There are many reasons that underlie this loss including our role models, the frantic pace of clinical activities, and the lack of clear direction as to the medical student role. Importantly, Dr. Stahel gives us a path to finding our empathy by rediscovering our humanism. Relating to the janitor, the nurse, and other members of the care team as people is an important first step in understanding the common ground that we share with our patients. Letting each member of the surgical team call the professor by his first name clearly tells the staff that all are important and essential. Giving his phone number to his patients shows the trust that Dr. Stahel shares with those who trust him. - Ted Clarke, MD, Orthopaedic Surgeon and CEO and Chairman of COPIC, Denver, ColoradoAs a veteran Registered Nurse I feel that this book is a must read for anyone in health care! Dr. Philip Stahel has a very down to Earth writing style and compassionate approach to patient care. Reading this book has reinvigorated my love of nursing and passion for patient care. - Kerry Olson, RN
