A collection of high-impact multiple-choice questions designed for medical board preparation, focusing on complex clinical scenarios in critical care (e.g., ARDS management) and critical decisions in haematology (e.g., safety protocols for CNS procedures in thrombocytopenic patients), including detailed explanations and key learning points.
This thoroughly revamped second edition simplifies the complex subject of mechanical ventilation. Rooted firmly in physiology and presented in a reader-friendly style, it includes new chapters on ventilator waveforms, airway humidification, aerosol therapy in the ICU, novel software-based ventilation modes, and a dedicated chapter on Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP).
Taking a practical approach to clinical medicine, this series of smaller reference books is designed for the trainee physician, primary care physician, nurse practitioner and other general medical professionals to understand each topic covered. The coverage is comprehensive but concise and is designed to act as a primary reference tool for subjects across the field of medicine.
A prospective study comparing the intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effect and complication rates of trabeculectomy and non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS) without collagen implants in patients with medically uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma. The study concluded that trabeculectomy lowers IOP more effectively, but NPDS has a lower rate of post-operative complications.
A rapid-reference guide utilizing a question-and-answer format to address the most common clinical questions and dilemmas encountered in the practice of pediatric ophthalmology.
An analysis of quality assurance and continuous quality improvement (CQI) in dental practice, covering theoretical concepts, measurement challenges, clinical audit, performance indicators, and the integration of clinical standards with customer service principles, aimed at improving clinical care delivery.
A comprehensive foundational guide detailing the scientific and clinical principles governing renal replacement therapy via transplantation, including donor selection, immunologic management, and long-term patient care strategies.
A detailed classification and guide to the diagnosis and management of tumors affecting the orbit. Topics include vascular tumors (haemangioma), neural tumors (glioma, meningioma), lacrimal gland lesions (adenoma, carcinoma), and miscellaneous tumors (lymphoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, metastases), covering clinical presentation, natural history, and treatment options like surgery, radiotherapy, and systemic steroids.
The guidelines in this document from the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics focus upon optimal care of the newborn infant, including those who are proceeding to a normal transition from the fluid-filled uterine environment to birth. Newborn infants who are proceeding to normal transition can benefit from deferred cord clamping for at least 60 seconds, skin-to-skin with their parent soon after birth, and appropriate assistance with thermoregulation.
This criteria-based access policy sets restrictions for the referral and assessment of patients for cataract surgery. It establishes visual acuity thresholds (normally better than 6/12 exclusion) and lists clinical exceptions, such as significant glare, difficulty with night vision, or requirements for specific employment, that justify surgical assessment.
