Breast cancer



簡介(Book Description from Google):
Breast Cancer, 2nd edition is the 7th volume of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Care Series, featuring the best standard treatment protocols from the experts at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. As more is learned about the relative roles of different treatment modalities, a pattern of practice is emerging where several different disciplines are involved early in the diagnostic and treatment phases of breast cancer. The impact of new and established diagnostic approaches that utilize radiodiagnosis and pathology in combination are requiring that a full range of special expertise from these disciplines be made available to patients. This clinical guidebook is an essential resource for the busy practitioner, allowing for quick, authoritative access to the latest and best in multimodality therapies. Topics covered in this volume include screening for early detection of breast cancer, hereditary breast/ovarian cancer genetic syndromes, diagnostic radiology, ultrasonography, pathology, surgical options, radiation therapy for early and advanced breast disease, tumor markers, standard and high-dose chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, reconstructive surgery, post-treatment rehabilitation, and symptom management and quality of life. Over 125 photographs and line-drawings illustrate the principles discussed in the text. This handbook will become an important guide and resource for community oncologists, as well as general surgeons, internists, and family practitioners.

(點選圖片可預覽部份內容)


簡介(Book Description from Google):
The first book to cover minimal-invasive treatment of osteoporotic, tumourous and traumatic vertebral fractures in the English language. In addition to detailed descriptions of the techniques, including tips and tricks from experts, this book contains a chapter about the medical treatment of osteoporosis, which is indispensable in the interdisciplinary approach to osteoporosis. This acclaimed innovative concept unites several treatment aspects and more conservative treatment methods are also presented in this work. All chapters are reflecting new developments and clinical findings in the field of orthopaedics, surgery, traumatology and neurosurgery. These include a new step-by-step treatment method for osteoporosis, new clinical and biomechanical aspects as well as special indications such as osteonecrosis. Furthermore, a chapter discussing the indication and clinical results of balloon kyphoplasty in trauma has been added. Reimbursement schemes of different countries have been added in order to provide an insight into nowadays reimbursement strategies.

簡介(Book Description from Google):
With the growing global fear of a major pandemic, avian influenza virus research has increased greatly in importance during this young century. In Avian Influenza Virus, an expert team of researchers and diagnosticians examine the fundamental yet essential virological methods for AI virus research and diagnostics as well as some of the newest molecular procedures currently used for basic and applied research. Exciting, cutting-edge new methods focus on studying the virus itself and work with avian hosts, an area greatly lacking in research. Following the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biologya"[ series, each chapter provides readily reproducible laboratory protocols offering step-by-step instruction and lists of the necessary equipment for the task. Comprehensive and timely, Avian Influenza Virus equips diagnosticians and researchers with the current tools and information they need to learn more about this high impact disease.

Arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery

簡介(Book Description from Google):
This text takes a comprehensive approach to rotator cuff disorders, including tears and arthroscopic techniques in surgical management. It addresses the latest topics that have developed in the past several years, such as the conversion of mini-open repair to all arthroscopic repair, and answers key questions that are raised at instructional courses. Experts in the field present not only arthroscopic shoulder anatomy, cuff tear patterns, repair concepts, and other fundamentals, but also provide in-depth coverage of state-of-the-art techniques. Acromioplasty, clavicle resection, PASTA repair, large and massive repair techniques, and subscapularis repairs are among the techniques detailed. The thorough book also considers repairable versus irreparable cuff tears, biceps tendon disorders (tenotomy, tenodesis, and subpectoral tenodesis), and tuberosity footprints (medial, lateral, and double row). Suture anchor repair, suture pass techniques, knot tying, and postoperative treatment are addressed as well. The step-by-step approach is supplemented by a wealth of anatomical drawings and color photos of arthroscopic techniques. An accompanying DVD supplements the surgical techniques chapters.

Applied pathology for ophthalmic microsurgeons

(點選圖片可預覽部份內容)


簡介(Book Description from Google):
Ophthalmic microsurgery is applied in ophthalmic pathological conditions. Ophthalmic pathology sets the landmarks for all kinds of microsurgical manipulations. Thus, in order to ensure the best surgical outcome, ophthalmic clinicians and microsurgeons have to consider the critical structures and potential complications before they start with the surgical procedure. Written by the world famous expert G. O. H. Naumann, this excellent textbook emphasizes the ocular structures such as the nuances of morphology, surgical anatomy, and pathology. The content includes: Unique features of closed system intraocular surgery in closed system and open eye surgery.- Crucial aspects of restoring the anterior chamber, includes such as the role of blood-ocular barriers and effects of paracenthesis-effects. The spectrum of potential complications in (pseudo-) exfoliation- syndromes as well as the most vulnerable cell populations.- The features of normal and pathologic wound healing in the various tissues after non-mechanical laser and mechanical interventions emergency-pathology requiring prompt surgical intervention. Brilliant artwork and sketches are further illustrating and summarizing the complex pathology. Thus, the reader will derive great value for the daily routine when learning how the specific pathology modifies the indications and techniques of microsurgery.
