Paediatric Surgery Workbook
Paediatric Surgery Workbook
by J. H. R. Becker
Publisher: Van Schaik, 2006
ISBN: 0627026435, 9780627026430
Pages: 258 pages
This book is designed to act as a guide to lecturers in paediatric surgery, preparing undergraduate students to have the level of knowledge in this field of that of a General Practitioner in practice. The text is not intended to be a complete guide to paediatric surgery; it is rather a guide to the outcomes that we in South Africa would like to achieve with our undergraduate students so that on qualifying, they are all on a par throughout the country. The new curriculum that has been developed at the different Medical Schools has resulted in the fragmentation of teaching in paediatric surgery, resulting in the possibility that certain aspects of paediatric surgery may be omitted so that there may be serious gaps in important knowledge.
This is a workbook; the text will never be identical to the style of the lecturer. Ample space has been provided for adding additional information included by the lecturer so that the end-result will be in line with the particular lecturer’s preferences. The editor welcomes comments from all who use the book regarding any glaring omissions or commissions and any other suggestions so that any necessary alterations can be made in the next edition.
The editor and co-authors hope that this guide to paediatric surgery teaching in South Africa will achieve its goal by creating a good foundation in the principles of how to treat our children with paediatric surgical problems in an appropriate manner, thus improving the morbidity and mortality of all our patients.

Product Description:
Imaging Informatics Professionals (IIPs) have come to play an indispensable role in modern medicine, and the scope of this profession has grown far beyond the boundaries of the PACS. A successful IIP must not only understand the PACS itself, but also have knowledge of clinical workflow, a base in several medical specialties, and a solid IT capability regarding software interactions and networking. With the introduction of a certification test for the IIP position, a single source was needed to explain the fundamentals of imaging informatics and to demonstrate how those fundamentals are applied in everyday practice. Practical Imaging Informatics describes the foundations of information technology and clinical image management, details typical daily operations, and discusses rarer complications and issues.

Sexually Transmissible Infections in Clinical Practice: A problem-based approach
Sexually Transmissible Infections in Clinical Practice: A problem-based approach
By Alexander McMillan
Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 241
Publication Date: 2009-10-02
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1848825560
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781848825567
Product Description:
Undergraduate medical education has moved away from the former didactic style of teaching to one of problem-based learning. The specialty of Genitourinary Medicine (GUM) that includes sexually transmissible infections (STIs) lends itself to the latter; self-directed learning. This is particularly important as time allocated to the specialty in most medical curricula is short, and the student cannot possibly cover all the topics with which he/she is expected to be familiar. Several excellent textbooks on GUM exist, but they mostly follow the traditional format, with emphasis on individual diseases rather than case-scenarios. The books that follow a more syndromic approach do not pose questions to help the student understand how the material presented can be translated into clinical practice. As specialist clinics become more hard-pressed, family medicine practitioners are thus becoming increasingly involved in the management of STIs and there is without doubt now a need for a book specifically designed for problem solving in STI management.

Religion and Spirituality in Psychiatry
Religion and Spirituality in Psychiatry
By Philippe Huguelet MD, Harold G. Koenig MD
* Publisher: Cambridge University Press

* Publication Date: 2009-03-30
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0521889529
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780521889520
Product Description:
Although medicine is practiced in a secular setting, religious and spiritual issues have an impact on patient perspectives regarding their health and the management of any disorders that may afflict them. This is especially true in psychiatry, as feelings of spirituality and religiousness are very prevalent among the mentally ill. Clinicians are rarely aware of the importance of religion and understand little of its value as a mediating force for coping with mental illness. This monograph addresses various issues concerning mental illness in psychiatry: the relation of religious issues to mental health; the tension between a theoretical approach to problems and psychiatric approaches; the importance of addressing these varying approaches in patient care and how to do so; and differing ways to approach Christian, Muslim, and Buddhist patients. This is the first book to specifically cover the impact of religion and spirituality on mental illness.

ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781604569230
Product Description:
Psychological factors significantly affect the cardiovascular system and play an important role in the etiopathogenesis of cardiovascular disorders. For the past several decades attention to the psychosocial and behavioral factors in cardiovascular disease has increased significantly. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that psychosocial factors contribute significantly to coronary heart disease as evidenced by data relating risk to depression, anxiety, personality factors and character traits, social isolation, and chronic life stress. When psychosocial stresses tend to cluster together, risk for cardiac events is often substantially elevated, equaling or exceeding that associated with standard biomedical risk factors for coronary disease such as hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. Understanding the integration of the interactions among multiple psychological and biological factors in the regulation of the cardiovascular system and the development of cardiovascular disorders is an important challenge for future research. This book will contribute to this goal. The contributors to this book are the leading international experts in the field of the relation between psychological processes and cardiovascular disorders. This book will be of interest to physicians, psychologists, mental health counselors, other clinicians, medical and psychology students, medical residents, and the general public.

A Clinician's Pearls & Myths in Rheumatology
A Clinician's Pearls & Myths in Rheumatology
By John H. Stone
Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 504
Publication Date: 2009-10-08
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 184800933X
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781848009332
Product Description:
Rheumatic diseases pose enormous challenges for most clinicians. Important strides have been made in understanding the pathophysiologic basis of many inflammatory conditions in recent years, but rheumatology remains a discipline in which diagnosis is rooted in the medical history skillfully extracted from the patient, the careful physical examination, and the discriminating use of laboratory tests and imaging. Moreover, selection of the most appropriate therapy for patients with rheumatic diseases also remains heavily reliant upon clinical experience.
Medical disciplines such as rheumatology that depend significantly upon clinical wisdom over quantitative diagnostic techniques are prone to the development of systems of ‘Pearls’ and ‘Myths,’ related to the diseases they call their own. For the purposes of this book, a ‘Pearl’ shall be regarded as a nugget of truth about the diagnosis or treatment of a particular disease that has been gained by dint of clinical experience. Conversely, a ‘Myth’ is a commonly held belief that influences the practice of many clinicians – but is false.
For a variety of reasons, the field of rheumatology has a long tradition of ‘Pearls’ and ‘Myths,’ and this book will pool together the clinical wisdom of seasoned, expert rheumatologists who participate in the care of patients with autoimmune diseases, systemic inflammatory disorders, and all other rheumatic conditions.
This book complements the previously published Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases by elaborating upon the basic principles found therein, with concrete pieces of clinical know-how that are not found in traditional texts.
