Book SynopsisThis new, comprehensive analysis of human cardiovascular control explains the control of pressure, vascular volume and blood flow during orthostatis and exercise. Analysis of the physical properties of the vascular system and their modification by mechanical, neural, and humoural factors is highlighted by novel graphical representations of basic concepts. Interactive effects of the vasculature on cardiac performance and factors that both control and limit oxygen transfer from lungs to cells are stressed. This complete account will prove invaluable for all medical students, physiologists and clinicians who wish to better understand the reflex and hormonal control of the human cardiovascular system.Trade ReviewIt is a delight to read the historical perspective provided for each of the major concepts discussed as that allows the reader to gain an understanding of the early contributions by a number of scientists to the concepts of cardiovascular control accepted today. Pertinent headings are presented throughout to ease digestion of the wealth of information provided. The illustrations are excellent, each elaborating concepts presented in the text. The author has provided mini summaries at the end of each section so that major points of importance are emphasized ... when finished with this volume I had the feeling that I had just received a thorough education in current concepts of blood pressure regulation. * J.A.

Book SynopsisAlmost 1 in 2 people suffer from problems with leg veins - so if you don't have them then someone close to you will. Venous reflux (the major cause of leg vein problems) can cause tired or aching legs, swollen or itchy ankles. Many people suffering from venous reflux are unaware of the problem, until they develop unsightly varicose veins, thread veins, venous eczema or venous leg ulcers. Many doctors and nurses are not aware of the new information available and still treat their patients inappropriately with creams, bandages or support stockings. "Understanding Venous Reflux - the cause of varicose veins and leg ulcers" has been written by Mark Whiteley, an internationally renowned vein expert. With clear explanations, illustrated by over 50 easy-to-follow diagrams, this book makes the understanding of venous reflux - the underlying cause of varicose veins and most venous problems (such as thread veins, venous leg ulcers, venous eczema, discoloured ankles, etc.) - accessible to most readers, helping them decide on what treatment they should seek. For medical and nursing students, as well as all doctors, nurses and other health care workers who deal with legs and leg vein problems, this is an essential text.Trade ReviewMuhammad Salim; 5.0 out of 5 stars: Simple and well written. The book is easy to read. Concepts are explained in a simple yet concise way. I recommend this book to anyone who needs a good start in understanding venous reflux Disease. Kenneth U. Ekechukwu. 5.0 out of 5 stars: Superb new text on the block. Excellent, concise, and easy to read. Bold and truthful in debunking misleading, confusing time-honoured traditions and concepts. A firm foundation for understanding the basics of venous disease of the loer limbs and a reliable intro of the problem for the beginner and the dogmatic old horse. May benefit from some grammatical editing to remove distracting errors. IDMansell. 5.0 out of 5 stars: Understanding venous reflux: I'm a Tissue VViabilitynurse and was recommended this book by a vascular consultant at a conference in Manchester. I've been teaching district nurses and care home staff how to assess & manage venous leg ulcers for over 15 years. Part of the course includes pathophysiology of venous disease being a great believer in treat the cause not the symptom. That's been blown out of the water by the revelations in this book. It's easy and concise to read with good systematic approach to understanding venous reflux. "venous hypertension" becoming an obsolete term is initially difficult to assimilate, but the clarity of the text and research appears irrefutable. Although judging from the book there are still those out there who prefer to do just that. Chapeter 7 & 8 are the clinchers and worthy of careful analysis . The preceding chapters lead you in with simple explanation of the venous system and how it functions. Good use of simple diagrams support and consolidate the text. Some of the myths associated with venous hypertension are also refuted. Male vs female incidence obesity & pregnancy are disputed as well as other established so-called facts precipitating venous disease. I would recommend this book as does the author if you're any way involved in dealing with patients with venous ulcers both to correctly inform your patients and support staff in the assessment and management of venous leg ulcers. "once a leg ulcer patient always a leg ulcer patient" but not it would appear with venous hypertension but with venous reflux.Table of Contents1 - The venous system of the lower limb 2 - Pressure in the venous circulation at rest 3 - Functional anatomy relating to the venous system of the legs 4 - The venous pump of the lower limb 5 - Valve failure and venous reflux (venous insufficiency) 6 - `Venous hypertension’ - an obsolete term 7 - Inflammation in venous reflux disease (chronic venous insufficiency) 8 - Pressure, flow and inflammation - how they relate in venous reflux disease 9 - Varicose veins - the `good guys’ 10 - Patterns of reflux - passive and active phase reflux 11 - Conclusion

Book SynopsisVascular surgery has seen a remarkable evolution. A discipline focused on the natural history and treatment of vascular disease by open operation is now primarily a minimally invasive specialty. Mastery of the basic pathophysiology has been retained while the transformation by improved imaging and endovascular intervention has been integrated into practice.This fourth edition of Vascular Surgery: Principles and Practice has incorporated these advances building on the specialty’s past assets. Knowledge of natural history and open surgery will always have an essential role in optimal care of patients with vascular diseases. The authors’ exposition of the old and the new will make this edition a valuable resource for vascular surgeons and all others dedicated to the care of vascular patients.Trade Review"In the final analysis, this book reflects the changes to vascular surgery all have witnessed in the last 50+ years,adhering to tried and true principles while adopting evidence-based medicine. It is an excellent reference for vascular surgeons in training and a worthy review book for established practitioners wishing to refresh their knowledge in areas on the periphery of their expertise."Gary W.
