Carotid Atherosclerotic Disease: Pathologic Basis for Treatment

Carotid Atherosclerotic Disease: Pathologic Basis for Treatment
Giuseppe Sangiorgi (Editor), David R. Holmes (Editor), Kenneth Rosenfield (Editor), L. Nelson Hopkins (Editor), Luigi Spagnoli (Editor)

Product Description
Carotid Atherosclerotic Disease: Pathologic Basis for Treatment reviews the natural history of carotid atherosclerotic plaque and outlines different pathologic characteristics of asymptomatic and symptomatic carotid plaque with the intent to give a pathology-based rationale for assessment, risk stratification and decision-making therapeutic strategy of patients affected by carotid disease. Another section further illustrates - in a evidence based medicine format - the impact of carotid plaque imaging from high-resolution MRI to new Doppler imaging modalities and vasa vasorum detection to correctly assess plaque risk stratification. The new concept of a tailored stent for different plaque morphologies and usage of dedicated cerebral protection devices in presence of particular plaque features will be pointed up. The concluding section sheds light on future advancement in gene therapy and carotid arterial wall repair. This volume offers the reader all the basis necessary to shift from the old concept of 'when' to treat - based on simple luminal narrowing - to the new concept of 'who should be treated' - based on plaque and patient characteristics.

The Cardiovascular System at a Glance

The Cardiovascular System at a Glance
Philip I. Aaronson (Author), Jeremy P. T. Ward (Author), Charles M. Wiener (Author)

Review
"... this book is well worth more than a glance!"
Barts & the London Chronicle - 2000
"This book is exactly what it says it is. Each topic is well illustrated with a simple but informative diagram. The text is clear and concise, but with more than enough detail. Case studies with useful questions (and answers) are also included. Good value for money."

Sphincter, Liverpool Medical Students' Gazette
"...it does offer clinical students a thorough revision of really important topics essential for understanding the heart and circulation. The union of the basic facts with a clinical picture is maintained, and the book oozes suitability for students in the early years of the new undergraduate medical curriculum.

Student BMJ"This book assumes no prior knowledge and would be a very useful first year purchase...Basically I think that this is a very good book for the first three years, its usefulness for the fourth year cardiovascular block remains to be evaluated, but I'll find out within the next few weeks."

Leech y Gelen, University of Wales College of Medicine

Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine

Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine

In the early 1980s, two junior doctors from Oxford noted down all the medical information they found valuable to keep. As medical students they learned most not from organised lecturers but from clinical sessions - on the ward and in clinic. Useful notes were written on scraps of paper, and it was from this that the original Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine was born. No other book has entered the hearts, minds and pockets of so many doctors and medical students the world over. Now in its 7th edition, the main features and essence of the original edition remain unchanged. Developed over 21 years, the Handbook encompasses the experience, knowledge and wisdom of more than 10 different authors. With its characteristic combination of incisive guidance, wit, a lucid style, and memorable epigrams, it continues to be the leading pocket reference of clinical medicine. The 7th edition is fully equipped for the modern doctor with a brand new design with integrated full-colour pictures on common problems such as rashes, scars and jaundice. There is a new chapter on radiology, new information on consent and how to handle common calls, and greater coverage of medications and doses, clinical skills and surgery. There are also numerous other updates and improvements throughout, many suggested by extensive market research and reader's feedback. Three new junior co-authors have been brought on board to ensure that the content reflects what readers really need. All in all, the latest Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine is just what the doctor ordered.
