This text provides objectives and details regarding inflammation, including the four possible outcomes of acute inflammation (resolution, fibrosis, progression to chronic inflammation, or abscess formation). It defines chronic inflammation as a slow evolving process characterized by the absence of polymorphs, presence of macrophages and lymphocytes, continuous tissue injury, angiogenesis, and subsequent scarring (fibrosis). Key causes discussed include persistent infections (e.g., Mycobacterium tuberculosis), immune-mediated diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), and prolonged exposure to toxic agents (e.g., silica leading to silicosis). It also covers systemic manifestations such as fever and acute phase reactants.

This edition continues to provide a systematic approach to the diagnosis, classification, and management of glaucoma diseases, covering topics such as intraocular pressure, optic disc assessment, visual field examination, and medical and surgical treatment modalities.

This compilation addresses a gamut of kidney diseases in children. Topics covered include the essential assessment of kidney function using tests like urinalysis, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and kidney biopsy. It also discusses the evaluation of proteinuria and hematuria in ambulatory settings and reviews the pathogenesis, presentation, and supportive care for acute postinfectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN).

A textbook and guide detailing the principles and practical applications of abdominal ultrasound, designed specifically for use by surgeons.

This book provides an introduction to the human cardiovascular system, covering heart anatomy, valve function, the cardiac conduction system (SA node, AV node, Purkinje fibers), and the difference between arteries and veins. It details blood pressure norms and defines the classification and causes of hypertension (Stages I and II, Primary, and Secondary).

This handbook covers Neurocritical Care, a multi-specialty, multi-disciplinary field dedicated to improving the care and outcomes of critically ill patients with neurological conditions. The text focuses on optimizing brain function in critical care management, featuring contributions from specialties including neurology, neurosurgery, and anesthesiology.
