This text provides foundational definitions for neoplasia, oncology, and cancer. It details the molecular mechanism of oncogenesis, describing the roles of proto-oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes (anti-oncogenes, notably p53), and DNA repair genes in regulating cell growth and proliferation, and how their mutation leads to cancerous transformation.
A targeted resource focusing on nutritional optimization and dietary compliance in austere or resource-limited environments, specifically tailored for wilderness preparedness. This volume emphasizes streamlined meal preparation using a minimal list of five core ingredients, crucial for mitigating caloric deficits and managing food safety during prolonged outdoor excursions. Includes protocols for managing kitchen staples and critical safety measures.
A fundamental review covering the principles of mechanical ventilation, including goals, basic modes, variables (trigger, target, cycle termination), interpretation of acute respiratory failure (hypoxemia/hypercarbia), and an overview of low-flow and high-flow oxygen delivery techniques.
This monograph, edited by Massimo Carlini, provides comprehensive updates on the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal neuroendocrine tumors, a rare and heterogeneous class of neoplasms.
A classic, comprehensive guide detailing the principles, approaches, and specific techniques for surgical management of a wide range of gynecological diseases and conditions, including minimally invasive procedures.
This chapter focuses on the evaluation and triage of nontraumatic acute chest discomfort, a common reason for emergency visits. It frames the diagnostic assessment around three categories: myocardial ischemia, other cardiopulmonary causes, and noncardiopulmonary causes. It discusses the epidemiology, emphasizing the relatively low percentage of patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and the substantial resources devoted to investigation, while underscoring the risk associated with missed myocardial infarctions (MI).

This second edition provides an updated analysis of immune infertility, focusing on the impact of immune reactions, especially against sperm, on human fertility. It incorporates new scientific findings in the field since the first edition, including advancements in sperm proteomics, gene knockouts, and vaccinology.
Bow-legs (genu varum) is an angular deformity at the knee. This topic provides an overview of normal physiologic alignment of the lower extremity, physiological and pathological causes of bowing (including nutritional rickets and Blount disease), and an approach to the child with bow-legs.
