Great quick reference
Great, quick reference for neonatology. I live how fast it is to search for subjects on my kindle versus consulting an index on a hard copy.

great for students

This text is a great resource for all, but especially for my Neonatal nurse practitioner students. Because it is written from the bases of a clinical symptom or sign it is very clear how to formulate differential diagnosis. The Differential lists are comprehensive and very well outlined.
Love this text

Presenting the fundamental principles of radiation oncology, the book covers the most salient and commonly tested facts on the exam. Organized by specific disease sites, each chapter presents a series of questions and answers that present clinical features, staging, principles of treatment, and evidence-based studies that guide treatment recommendations, with an emphasis on radiotherapy studies. The book offers over 1,000 multiple-choice questions with detailed answers and rationales.
Customer Reviews from Amazon :
Five stars!
This book is a fantastic resource, especially for radiation oncology residents studying for in-service or board exams. The >1000 questions, organized by disease site, are extremely well written: they are unambigious, detailed, and challenging. Each paragraph-long answer includes not only the answer to the specific question, but also additional information about the topic of the question, along with one or more references to textbook chapters and/or primary literature. Another great feature is the 14-page index, which allows you to look up a particular question or subtopic. The authors are to be thanked for writing a book that fills a sorely needed niche in our field.

This major new reference offers the most complete and balanced coverage of modern rhinology and skull base surgery available today by integrating key advances in the basic sciences with modern clinical developments. From the role of genetics, allergy, and immunology in rhinologic disorders to new, evidence-based medical and surgical approaches, the book covers all aspects of this dynamic, multidisciplinary specialty. A DVD with nearly 80 videos complements the book.
Customer Reviews from Amazon :
A MUST have textbook of rhinology
Finally, there is a rhinology text that is up to date, comprehensive and complete, giving a well balanced explanation of every aspect of rhinology ranging from basic sciences to clinical and practical rhinology, rhinoplasty and skull base. The book is well organized with beautiful illustrations and well-designed tables. I particularly like the tips and tricks, and notes, which highlight the important points of the chapter. The questions at the end of each chapter are also stimulating and help to summarize the key points. . Every chapter is well written with similar style. The paragraphs are succinct and to the point unlike other textbook, hence making reading easy and enjoyable. There is also sufficient depth and up to date information to keep you current with the development of Rhinology. If there is only one textbook of rhinology to get, I will strongly recommend getting this book first. After reading the book, you will have a good understanding and knowledge of rhinology.

A new standard for Rhinologic texts

While many authors have attempted to comprehensively address the topic of `Rhinology', the rapid pace of change in the scientific foundations of the field, in the past 25 years, has left most efforts out-of-date or as awkwardly revised editions. "Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery - From the lab to the operating room: an evidence-based approach", by Fokkens and Georgalas, forges a new path for the modern day physician. They have discarded the baggage of poorly constructed ideas, unscientific theory and anecdote that plagues many texts on the subject. This book is the new standard in field. It is comprehensive for both resident and expert. Clinical implication and practically are not lost with key points and review questions to ensure the essential messages are emphasized. The quality of the images reflects the high-definition era in which this book is constructed and the video library is beautifully edited, comprehensive and a reflection of the authors' expertise in the field. It is perhaps the finest video library available in Rhinologic texts. The chapters cover both medical and surgical (endoscopic and open) aspects of rhinology but lesser topics such as genetics, outcomes, non-allergic rhinitis, facial trauma and rhinoplasty are included in the same depth. This book is the ideal choice for anyone entering the field and equally so for the expert wishing to move with a new modern era of rhinology.

Surgery of complex abdominal wall defects


簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble):

Complex abdominal wall hernias and complex abdominal wall defects, including stomas or the complications associated with any of the above, are common and challenging for surgeons. The lack of high quality evidence leaves surgeons without clear guidance regarding the selection of technique or material to be used when treating these serious problem. Surgery of Complex Abdominal Wall Defects has been written to provide this guidance. It covers the surgical anatomy of the abdominal wall, pathology of abdominal wall defects, such as hernias, enterocutaneous or entero-atmospheric fistulae, indications for, and surgical techniques used to, reconstruct the abdominal wall. In addition, through a number of illustrations, the placement of mesh in the abdominal wall reconstruction, as well as manipulations of patient’s tissue including lateral compartment release techniques and other tissue transfer techniques are described in detail. The text also covers reconstruction of complex contaminated abdominal wall defects in patients with complex enteric fistulae; ostomies, defects created after the excision of previously placed infected prosthetic mesh, and defects associated with acute tissue loss after severe trauma or necrosis of abdominal wall such as necrotizing soft tissue infections. Complex abdominal wall defects in pediatric population and long-term outcomes and durability of these repairs are also addressed. Surgery of Complex Abdominal Wall Defects is written by experts in their respective areas from around the world. It will serve as a guide for current practice for surgeons, including general, trauma, acute care, plastic and reconstructive surgeons.
Customer Reviews from Amazon :
Superb! The only one text about difficult problems in surgery of abdominal wall defects in English or Spanish.
Congratulations for the Dr. Latifi Rifat as editor and his dream team os specialists who endorse this special issue about surgery of complex abdominal wall defects. We find in it up to date and relevant information about that problematic situation from anatomy to phisiology to pathology to clinical support and of course the surgical corrections.
I love the chapter about entero-cutaneus and atmospheric fistulas.
Very well documented with recent references.
Very well illustrated with selected graphics.
As a general surgeon sometimes I have to operate on this kind of conditions and I had to research very disperse blbliography to actualize me. Now I have the Kindle edition of this book with all the data and references in one place. By the way the Kindle edition is excellent.
As a teacher of graduate and postgraduate students of surgery this book is going to improve the quality of what I try to teach.

Evidence-based clinical orthodontics


簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble):

Despite the ever-expanding array of orthodontic journals and textbooks available today, too many clinical decisions are based on either anecdotal evidence or the espoused treatment philosophy of the current luminary of the lecture circuit. The authors of this book take an unbiased approach to orthodontics by systematically reviewing the relevant clinical literature and analyzing the scientific evidence to help practitioners select the most effective and efficient modes of treatment. Each chapter addresses a specific topic by summarizing the literature, critically reviewing the evidence, and offering impartial recommendations that can be adopted by clinical practitioners. Topics include Class II and Class III malocclusions, wires and wire sequences, dental asymmetries, causes of root resorption, and retention strategies, among others. This timely text enables busy clinicians to acquire knowledge of the current literature and apply evidence-based orthodontics in their practices.
Customer Reviews from Amazon :
Great for dentists interested in 'High Speed Braces'
This is a very well-written review of many of the important aspects of orthodontics. It discusses topics that are essential for any dental professional who ventures outside what they are taught in dental school, as many myths create fear in the uninformed. The section on ortho-induced apical shortening and accelerated orthodontics are excellent and could easily be used to move a dentist to a higher level of service with confidence.

Necessary text for every orthodontist
This is a great book that provides the most recent and highest quality evidence available for most of the major orthodontic topics. Unlike some other orthodontic texts that "cherry pick" research studies that fit the opinions of the authors, EBCO uses only high level studies (systematic reviews, RCTs, Meta-analyses, etc) to discuss how the literature and evidence should guide our decision making. The authors present the material in a way that is easy to follow with summary bullet points and conclusions at the end of each chapter. If you're looking for a text that is supported by quality evidence and literature, then you need this book

Great book

This was a great read. Highlighted some nice evidence-based tips to take away and apply in clinical practice. Well worth the read for an update on contemporary principles.
