This book is part of the IOP Series in Emerging Technologies in Optics and Photonics. It focuses on the latest advancements and applications of optics and photonics—the science of using light—specifically within ophthalmic technology. The series is designed to provide students and researchers with knowledge regarding new technologies such as LEDs, LCDs, and lasers that are becoming pervasive in modern society and critical to emerging optical engineering fields.
An analysis of the pathophysiology, incidence, clinical findings, risk factors (Virchow's Triad), and diagnostic criteria for acute pulmonary embolism (PE), including details on infarction mechanisms, V/Q mismatching, and imaging findings like CTPA and Hampton's Hump.
This book provides an introduction to the principles and applications of economic evaluation specifically within the context of oral health care. It addresses how global and environmental factors, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, affect the prioritization, delivery, and management of health and oral health services.
This text provides an approach to common acute syndromes in cardiovascular emergencies, including circulatory arrest/collapse, acute chest pain, dyspnea, palpitations, and syncope. It details the differentiation of life-threatening causes of chest pain (ACS, Aortic Dissection, Pulmonary Embolism) and the systematic use of clinical examination, ECG, biomarkers (TnT, D-Dimer), and imaging for rapid diagnosis and intervention.
A comprehensive collection of high-yield questions and answers (Qbank) specifically designed for preparation for the national or ministerial (Al-Wizari) Emergency Medicine licensing examinations. Focuses on clinical knowledge and standardized test scenarios.

A detailed presentation outlining the diagnostic algorithm for plasma cell disorders, including initial workup (H&P, CBC, CMP, Skeletal Survey) and specialized testing (SPEP, UPEP, FLC ratio). It distinguishes between Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS), Multiple Myeloma (MM), and Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM), detailing the role of CRAB criteria, bone marrow biopsy, and key prognostic factors (cytogenetics, B2-microglobulin). Treatment strategies for common complications, such as lytic lesions and infections, are also reviewed.
A comprehensive textbook detailing the fundamental principles of audiology, diagnostics, and surgical interventions related to ear health and hearing restoration.
This book highlights a multifaceted approach for managing breast diseases, focusing on the role of imaging modalities. It discusses the evolving field of breast surgery, the shift toward breast conservation therapy, and the importance of triple assessment (radiology, pathology, and clinical assessment) in evaluating breast-related complaints and ruling out malignancy.
