Reviews

The strength of this book is that it provides a variety of questions and the explanations are quite good (yes, there are typos– but they are obvious). Unfortunately, it didn’t help me get the score I would have liked on my shelf exam… My exam just had wayyyy too many nuanced questions that were beyond the scope of this book. If I could do it all over again, I would’ve chosen a different book to supplement my Q-bank. This would’ve been best used as a ‘supplement’ to a primary Q-bank and a secondary book to read in-between cases ONLY if I had extra time to study and wanted extra practice.

Description

The book is targeted at the candidates appearing for the MRCOG Part 2, which is a compulsory examination for postgraduate trainees in the UK who aspire to pursue a career in obstetrics and gynaecology. Apart from the UK postgraduates, MRCOG examination is taken by postgraduates all across the globe to obtain this prestigious degree. The examination is carried out twice a year, and the venues are London, Manchester, Glasgow and Belfast in the UK. The examination also takes place in Bangladesh, Egypt, Hong Kong, India (2 centres), Iraq, Jordan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Dubai and Jamaica. At each centre, the number of candidates participating varies between 5 and 200. Apart from the candidates appearing for this examination, this book would be helpful for the assessment of knowledge in all postgraduate trainees in obstetrics and gynaecology worldwide. Therefore, this book has a wide target group. A unique characteristic of this book is that it produces a comprehensive set of both types of questions covering all the modules of the MRCOG Part 2 syllabus (www.rcog.org.uk). A broad range of reading material has been used to develop the EMQs and SBAs including RCOG Greentop Guidelines, Scientific Impact Papers, Clinical Governance Papers and RCOG Consent Advice. In addition to the RCOG revision material, the authors have included questions from The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist (TOG), NICE Guidelines, StratOG and recommended textbooks. The authors have experience in MRCOG examination question writing, and Sharmistha Guha has been a co-lead for the London SBA Writing Group for the RCOG. The questions have been written to the same standard as the RCOG question bank. Mr. Gregory Ward, who is the Head of London Specialty School of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, wrote the foreword of the book. He is a senior clinician, a RCOG examiner and member of the RCOG SBA committee. He has provided guidance continually to ensure the quality of the questions is up to the standard of RCOG. It is important to recognise that this book is not a textbook and should not be used as the sole reading material for the examination. However, the questions will be especially useful in gaining valuable examination practice. An explanation has been provided for all of the questions along with references to aid in the preparation. A reading guide has been provided for assistance. The authors hope that this will be a useful tool in preparation for this crucial examination.

Sitting an accreditation examination is a daunting prospect for many trainee echocardiographers. And with an increasing drive for the accreditation of echocardiography laboratories and individual echocardiographers, there is a need for an all-encompassing revision aid for those seeking accreditation.

Reviews

I used this and the SCCM publication. This book is tailored for the SCC exam, whereas the SCCM book is useful but is more for MICU types. The first half covers SICU topics, and the second half goes over trauma/ACS topics, which is about the same breakdown as the exam. It’s a good review for trauma treatment in fields that general surgeons don’t usually focus on (ortho, urology, etc.). My main criticism is that the questions are unnecessarily difficult because of the way they are written – most are of the “which of these is/is not correct” variety, which is extremely confusing. I don’t really care since this is just for studying, and because it was probably the easiest way for the authors to cram the questions full of info, but I will note that the ABSITE, ABS gen surg written boards, and SCC exams all use much more straightforward wording that is designed to take that ambiguity away. So if you’re messing up all the questions because you forgot if you were supposed to be picking the true or false answer this time around, take heart.

Description

Fear of pain is the number one reason people give for not making regular visits to the dentist. At the same time, a majority of dentists report experiencing anesthesia-related problems during restorative dental procedures. If dentists are able to provide painless treatment, patient compliance and satisfaction are likely to improve. Pulpal anesthesia is a vital part of the delivery of dental care for restorative dentists and endodontists. Administration of local anesthesia is invariably the first procedure they perform and it affects everything they do thereafter. If the patient is not adequately anesthetized, difficulties inevitably arise. This book will help you successfully anesthetize your patients using the newest technology and drugs available. It presents the rationale, advantages, and limitations of the various anesthetic agents and routes of administration. A special emphasis is placed on supplemental anesthetic techniques that are essential to the practice of dentistry.
