This book provides a state-of-the-art description of the clinical evaluation, diagnosis, management, and treatment of achalasia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, paraesophageal hernia, and morbid obesity. The prevalence of such diseases is increasing worldwide due to higher awareness and improved diagnosis rate. The text is divided in three different parts, each covering detailed surgical techniques of the main foregut operations: achalasia, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and obesity. Written by experts in the field, chapters focus on the preoperative work-up, indications, and technical aspects of each operation. Foregut Surgery proves to be an irreplaceable resource for surgeons, gastroenterologists, medical students, and surgical residents that care for patients with reflux, achalasia, and morbid obesity. –This text refers to the paperback edition.

This book offers a unique and focused study of the use of ultrasound during the first trimester, a critical time in a fetus’ development. It includes basic examination guidelines as well as cutting-edge ultrasound modalities, including Doppler and three-dimensional ultrasound, for the period immediately preceding conception through early embryology. Beginning with a discussion of the safety and efficacy of diagnostic ultrasound and the use of this modality for the evaluation and treatment of infertility, recognized experts in the field explore conditions that may interfere with normal conception or development, including maternal diseases that would benefit from early scanning, elements of teratology, multiple gestations, ectopic pregnancy, gestational trophoblastic disease, fetal anomalies and invasive procedures in the first trimester. Numerous illustrations and figures are provided to serve as aids for understanding key concepts. First-Trimester Ultrasound is a valuable resource for many, in or after training, in obstetrics and gynecology, radiology, emergency medicine, family medicine and genetics.

Psychopathology lies at the centre of effective psychiatric practice and mental health care, and Fish’s Clinical Psychopathology has shaped the training and clinical practice of psychiatrists for over fifty years. The fourth edition of this modern classic presents the clinical descriptions and psychopathological insights of Fish’s to a new generation of students and practitioners. It includes recent revisions of diagnostic classification systems, as well as new chapters that consider the controversies of classifying psychiatric disorder and the fundamental role and uses of psychopathology. Clear and readable, it provides concise descriptions of the signs and symptoms of mental illness and astute accounts of the varied manifestations of disordered psychological function, and is designed for use in clinical practice. An essential text for students of medicine, trainees in psychiatry and practising psychiatrists, it will also be useful to psychiatric nurses, mental health social workers and clinical psychologists.
Review “..performs its task admirably…clear, concise and extremely readable, with well thought out focussed chapters.” British Journal of Plastic Surgery “..The reviewer can only wholeheartedly recommend this book. It is particularly suitable for trainees revising for Board examinations.” International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery “This book should be a must in every maxillofacial library…it can be highly recommended without reservation.” British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
The book, coordinated and directed by Dr. Raúl Uribe Olivares, has the collaboration of 31 authors from various Mexican universities, as well as from various Latin American countries. Among them, it is worth highlighting the presence of Dr. Mario Dvorkin, renowned author and one of the best specialists in cardiovascular and hand surgery belonging to the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina. The text has been structured in three main parts: 1-Introduction. 2- Pathophysiology of symptoms and signs. 3- Pathophysiology of the most common syndromes. Throughout all chapters, the knowledge of how the organism defends itself against a pathogen has been prioritized and how these mechanisms translate into the appearance of symptoms and signs, obtaining as a consequence, a text aimed more at understanding basic processes than at clinical diagnosis. The work contains a total of 69 chapters which include the anatomophysiological and pathophysiological bases of each of the signs, symptoms and syndromes. The chapters that are dedicated to the most common syndromes include a commented clinical case. Work especially aimed at students of the degrees of Medicine, and other degrees of Health Sciences, although it will also be useful for resident doctors or in their first years of practice.
In this book fractures of the proximal humerus are examined in detail, with an overview of fracture morphology, injury pattern, preoperative considerations, conservative treatment, surgical management and postoperative care. It is organized anatomically, with a clear structure based on the most recent scientific data to allow surgeons to quickly access key information, practical aspects, pearls and pitfalls. The book is written by a group of experts from the Association for the Rationale Treatment of Fractures (ARTOF) who aim to provide an independent, unbiased summary of proximal humerus fracture treatments to improve clinical outcomes. Trauma and orthopaedic surgeons worldwide who are searching for current knowledge of new implants, therapeutic strategies and advancements will be able to quickly and accurately apply the information from this book to provide the best possible care for their patients.
