Thoracic Surgery and Diagnostic Imaging

A textbook or reference material focusing on the principles and practice of Microbiology, inferred from the file name and year.

A professional periodical featuring clinical articles, management advice, practice profiles, and technology reviews within the field of orthodontics. Key topics in this issue include retention and stability, and the challenges of treating non-growing adult Class III patients.

Proceedings focusing on microincisional surgery techniques for glaucoma, presented during a Round Table at the 92nd Congress of the Spanish Society of Ophthalmology in Málaga.

A concise review guide designed to facilitate rapid study and retention of essential pharmacological concepts.

A comprehensive guide to Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs), covering basic pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, drug-drug interactions, clinical indications, risk stratification, and management strategies, including reversal for bleeding or emergent surgery.

This book analyzes conductive hearing loss due to stapes immobility, focusing on distinguishing between otosclerotic and non-otosclerotic stapes fixation. It explores how etiology influences surgical technique, discusses new diagnostic observations (like the presence of measles virus in otosclerosis), and introduces modern surgical solutions for stapes surgery, including laser fenestration and endoscopic approaches.

A comprehensive analysis of Dynemicin A, Uncialamycin, and their analogues, detailing methods of isolation, exploration of biological activities, and chemical syntheses. The text is geared toward practitioners and researchers working in drug discovery and medicinal chemistry.

This book addresses the significant challenges and knowledge gaps in clinical therapeutics and drug development for pregnant women. It focuses on the lack of data regarding appropriate dosing, efficacy, and maternal safety during gestation, contrasting existing fetal safety resources with the absence of specific guidance for treating pregnant patients.

A foundational text covering the key concepts and principles of neuro-ophthalmology.

A textbook covering the principles and practices of analytical forensic toxicology, including pharmacokinetics, drug metabolism, postmortem redistribution, and the analysis of seized drugs and poisons. This work is adapted from contributions published in Volume 1 of Clarke’s Analysis of Drugs and Poisons 3rd edition.

Extremity injuries sustained in aquatic environments require unique considerations compared with injuries sustained on land. Knowledge of these considerations is becoming more important as aquatic recreational activities increase in popularity. Aquatic injuries may occur through mechanical contact with a variety of different objects or surfaces, such as a recreational device or watercraft part, or may occur through contact with marine animals. Marine animal injuries can be further categorized into bites, stings, or blunt contact, as well as venomous or nonvenomous, distinctions that should be used to guide clinical management. Numerous instances of retained foreign bodies after marine animal stings exist, which can result in infection and prolonged envenomization; thus, radiographic examination should be routinely performed in aquatic sting injuries to prevent these harmful sequelae. Any aquatic injury resulting in an open wound has an increased risk for infection, and prophylactic antibiotics must be given with consideration for the unique microbiologic flora of the aquatic environment.
