Book Description:

Delayed recognition of an injury or improper stabilization of the spine can lead to irreversible spinal cord injury and permanent neurological damage. This highly illustrated resource chronicles the rapid developments in imaging technology and expertise over the past decades that have transformed the medical management of vertebral injury, including thoracolumbar trauma classification. With over 250 CT and MRI images, this essential text is designed to aid both trainees and practicing physicians in making rapid and accurate diagnoses to patients with spinal trauma and provide appropriate care. This clear, concise, case-based resource will serve as a guide and learning source for trainees as well as an easily navigable reference for medical practitioners that can be essential to establishing the presence of an acute spinal injury.

Key Features :

• Includes over 250, high quality CT and MRI images that are systematically organised so the reader can find what they are looking for with ease
• Contains detailed reviews alongside the images, which can be critical in deciding whether an acute spinal injury is present or not
• The most recent and expansive book on the subject of imaging in spinal trauma

Book Description:

The use of tomosynthesis in breast imaging is growing rapidly due to its superior ability to identify and characterize normal findings, benign lesions, and breast cancer, as well as its optimal performance with dense breast tissue. Providing unparalleled coverage of this breakthrough breast imaging modality, Breast Tomosynthesis explains how this new modality can lead to enhanced interpretation and better patient outcomes. This new reference is an indispensable guide for today’s practitioner looking to keep abreast of the latest developments with correlative findings, practical interpretation tips, physics, and information on how tomosynthesis differs from conventional 2D FFDM mammography. Over 900 high-quality images offer visual guidance to effectively reading and interpreting this key imaging modality.

Key Features

• Includes over 900 high-quality tomosynthesis and mammography images representing the spectrum of breast imaging.
• Features the latest Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (or BI-RADS) standards updated in February 2014.
• Highlights practical tips to interpreting this new modality and how it differs from 2D mammography.
• Details how integration of tomosynthesis drastically changes lesion work-up and overall workflow in the department.
• “Tomo Tips” boxes offer tips and pitfalls for expert clinical guidance.
• A separate section of Video Case Studies includes mammography images and over 90 tomosynthesis videos referenced online, allowing users to see side-by-side findings, including normal and benign and malignant lesions, and make comparisons using both modalities for the same patient case.
• Expert Consult eBook version included with purchase. This enhanced eBook experience allows you to search all of the text, figures, images, videos, and references from the book on a variety of devices.

Succeed in OSCEs and Practical Exams PDF Free Download

Preface:

In this book we are talking directly to you. The book is aimed at helping you succeed in your OSCE and practical examination; however, it will only help if you fully engage with the content. Whether you are currently a student nurse or a registered nurse undertaking CPD, your studies will have challenged you and required you to make changes to your behaviour and attitude during your time at university. OSCEs may occur at various points in your course and they will challenge you personally and professionally. We aim throughout this book to help you to be an active participant in your learning so that you can feel a sense of autonomy and independence in the process. OSCEs and practical examinations require you to be self-reliant, and this book can be a partner in your journey into: • understanding your own learning style; • understanding how refl ection can give you greater insight into your practice; • understanding how you can be empowered to improve your practice. Each chapter starts with the outcomes you can expect to achieve through your reading, as well as what we hope is an inspiring quote. There are useful tips, key points, examples and case studies throughout the book, and each chapter concludes with a summary of the key points raised. The book is aimed at preparing you for your OSCE or practical examination as part of a nursing course. These types of assessment are used to assess the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are required for safe and effective practice. Each chapter, where relevant, will make reference to the standards of profi – ciency for pre-registration nursing education (NMC 2004) and essential skills clusters (ESCs) (NMC 2007a, 2007b).

Preface:

The field of head and neck surgery is rapidly changing and adopting new surgical technologies with the goal of offering the patient treatments that are safe and effective with improved outcomes, decreased morbidity, and a shorter recovery period. Surgical robotic systems represent one such group of technology. What began ten years ago as a novel technology is quickly becoming a standard tool of the head and neck surgical oncologist in treating head and neck aerodigestive cancers. Additionally, the utilization of this technology continues to expand to thyroid surgery, neck dissections, nasal and nasopharyngeal surgery, as well as sleep surgery. As we began our experience with robotic surgery of the head and neck, we quickly realized the shift in the surgical perspective to the head and neck anatomy; especially as many of the surgical sites were traditionally accessed through an open approach. While recent research and articles highlight this change in perspective with an increased scrutiny of the vascular and nerve anatomy in the region, we identified a gap in the presence of a surgical atlas. This book represents the culmination of contributions from robotic surgeons in the field and their experience with robotic surgery and this shift in the anatomic perspective. It is intended for budding surgeons who are training in programs with high surgical volume with the robot, as well as for experienced surgeons who are now incorporating surgical robots into their practice paradigm. Included are videos with cadaveric and live patient dissections that further illustrate the perspective associated with endoluminal surgery in contrast to open surgery. With continual changes in technology and new robotic systems on the horizon, there has been a concerted shift away from open surgery and towards endoluminal surgery or alternate/ remote incisions to neck surgery. With this shift, this atlas will continue to be useful in highlighting the anatomical landmarks and perspective for these surgical approaches.
