Learning about specific diseases that are usually treated with surgery, as well as understanding the principles of managing surgical patients, are essential precursors to the study of operative surgery. The new 4th edition of Principles and Practice of Surgery presents a systematic approach to these key topics and familiarizes students with surgical processes and protocols. This disease-based textbook is a surgical companion to the renowned Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine, and is edited by an entirely new team of respected authorities in the field. Written as a complete, balanced text, it enables the reader to appreciate both the medical and surgical implications of diseases encountered on surgical wards.

Essential Surgery is a comprehensive and highly illustrated textbook for clinical students as well as a practical manual for junior doctors and those preparing for postgraduate qualifications in surgery. The unique feature of the book is its problem-orientated nature as distinct to the traditional disease-based structure.
· explains the pathophysiological basis of surgical diseases and of their management to help bridge the gap between the basic medical sciences and clinical problems
· adopts a problem-solving rather than a disease-orientated approach to diagnosis and treatment, reflecting current teaching trends which emphasise the full understanding of how a diagnosis is made and why a particular treatment is used
· includes information about epidemiology, disease prevention and the provision of health care, and tries to relate the community aspects of surgical problems to aetiology, disease prevention and primary care
· contains outlines of common surgical operations, to enable students and junior doctors to explain operations to patients and to allow them to participate intelligently in the operating department, as well as giving them an understanding of how to prevent complications
· includes a major section on accident surgery related to the general surgeon
· Now with full text online on Student Consult
· Comprehensively updated in line with the evolution and refinement of surgery over the past few years by an expanded author team and an advisory group of surgical and radiological experts.
· All line drawings re-presented for greater impact and clarity.

In Canada alone there are hundreds of neonates and children at risk for thrombotic complications related to interventions in cardiac and renal disease, treatments for leukemia and lupus, and ischemic stroke. The authors lay a foundation in the principles of hemostasis, congenital prethrombotic disorders, and the epidemiology of venous and arterial thromboembolism. The management protocols embrace heparin, oral anticoagulants, and thrombolytic therapy.

In the late 1950s, atherosclerotic lesions in the arteries were intensely scrutinised at autopsy by the Committee on Vascular Lesions, a creative forum that became part of the American Heart Association in 1959. By the early 1980s, concerned efforts brought many medical subspecialties together to quantify treatments of atherosclerosis in the living, by comparing results and standardising on measurements and terms deployed. With improved understandings about the vascular wall, the Committee was able to develop a classification of atherosclerotic lesions.This work reveals critical understandings about the natural history of plaque, the correlation of vascular lesions and clinical syndromes, and the utility of new imaging methods. Diagnostic imaging, atherosclerosis prevention and treatment will be shaped by these new modalities. Continuous scrutiny by the Committee is culminating in scientific meetings every few years, and is summarised in published statements. The present statement The Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaque: Understanding, Identification and Modification is the second of these documents to focus on atherosclerosis pathogenesis and pathological clinical implications.
As a multi-disciplinary resource, this book edited by Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, chairman of the committee, consists of twenty four chapters written by experts in mechanical and electrical engineering, p

Following the success of its last symposium and book entitled 'The Evidence for Vascular Surgery', the Joint Vascular Research Group (JVRG) brings you this book. The book describes recent developments and best practice in vascular surgery, with an emphasis on multi-disciplinary care pathways. It is based upon a symposium held in Sheffield in June 2002 that aimed to improve the provision and equality of care for patients with peripheral arterial and venous disease. Many members of the JVRG have contributed to this book, including vascular surgeons, anaesthetists, radiologists, nurses and vascular technologists. The book consists of five sections covering the main areas of management of patients with peripheral vascular disease: Outpatients and medical management; Vascular imaging and endovascular intervention; Vascular surgery; Anaesthesia and theatres; Organisational aspects of care.

The incidence of treated end stage renal disease (ESRD) continues to rise, particularly in the western world. Although renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for ESRD, the decline in the number of cadaveric organs, coupled with the rising demand for transplantation, means that an increasing number of patients will have to depend on dialysis. Vascular or peritoneal access is the Achilles' heel of any dialysis service. This book offers a clear description of the state of the art in providing and perserving a durable and reliable access. It also points the way to dialysis in the 21st century. The contributing authors are drawn from a wide background, with expertise in various aspects of dialysis access, including its history, the technique of placement, anaesthesia, radiology, nursing care and training of vascular access surgeons. There is currently a dearth of books on the subject of dialysis access. The few existing books on vascular access were written in the United States, with none from the UK. This volume is intended for use by transplant surgeons, general surgeons with an interest in vascular access, vascular surgeons, nephrologists, trainees and nurses. Dialysis services are expanding worldwide and this book is a valuable guide for those involved in daily patient care and organization of dialysis services.

Ischaemia-Reperfusion Injury is concerned with the consequences of interrupting and restoring blood flow to tissues. Many common clinical conditions are caused by interruption of blood flow to tissues (eg, ischaemic heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, stroke); blood flow is also interrupted deliberately in many surgical procedures (eg, cardiac surgery, arterial surgery, transplant surgery, limb surgery with tourniquet). In treating such conditions or after performing such operations the aim of the clinician is to restore the blood supply to the ischaemic tissue. Paradoxically, restoration of blood flow to ischaemic tissues can lead to further tissue damage with the potential for severe local and systemic injury. This book focuses on the clinical, pathological and biochemical processes involved in ischaemia-reperfusion injury and gives an overview of the strategies that may be adopted to mitigate or prevent such injury. This book will be of interest to both clinicians and scientists who have to deal with or have interest in this difficult but important problem.
