| Providing a unique approach to the practice
of surgery, this new edition of the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Surgery
continues in the tradition of providing a succinct overview of the
principles, techniques and procedures of surgery. The content has been
fully revised to meet the requirements of modern surgical practice. It is
written in the very successful concise style of the handbook series,
providing an accessible pocket reference for medical students, housemen,
junior surgical trainees, nursing, paramedical and rehabilitation staff.
The coverage includes the assessment and preparation of the patient,
anaesthesia and critical care, inflammation, wound healing and infection,
the key components of general surgical practice as well as chapters on
other surgical specialties, including plastic, paediatric and orthopaedic
surgery. There are also step by step descriptions of some common operative
surgical techniques, practical hints and procedures, and a chapter on
signs, symptoms and rarities. |

| Approximately 20% of all surgical operations
and a similar percentage of surgical emergencies are urological in nature.
However, often doctors have very limited experience of the many common and
varied conditions encountered in this important surgical specialty. For
the doctor or nurse expected to provide the initial assessment and
management of a condition with which he or she has had very limited
experience, this book provides an invaluable source of information and
advice. This applies not only to SHOs and specialist registrars on urology
and surgical rotations, but also to General Practitioners, Accident and
Emergency staff and the growing number of urological specialist nurses.
This handbook provides a comprehensive summary of urological disease and
its management, in a form that is concise, relevant to the target audience
and readily available. While the description of urological conditions is
comprehensive, the emphasis is on the practical approach to the conditions
which are likely to be encountered. The significance and appropriate
management of common symptoms is described, providing (on a single page) a
summary of the essential approach to a specific presenting complaint, be
that haematuria, scrotal pain or bedwetting. Common urological operations
are described, to allow the General Practitioner, Accident and Emergency
doctor, nurse or surgical trainee, rapid access to information concerning
indications, pre-operative assessment, consent, and complications and
their management. |

| Of all the medical specialties, few if any are
as exacting and complex as critical care medicine. All members of the
multidisciplinary team caring for critically ill patients require a sound
knowledge of physiology, pathophysiology, biochemistry, technology and
pharmacology. The new edition of this enormously popular Oxford Handbook
describes best practice in critical care in a succinct, concise, clinically
orientated way. It covers therapeutic and monitoring devices, drugs and
fluids, specific organ system disorders and complications, and general
management philosophies. Ample space is provided to append or amend sections
to suit local protocols and particular practices. |

| The Oxford Handbook of Clinical Diagnosis helps
the reader to interpret symptoms, physical signs and initial test results
and to allow students (or doctors not familiar with all aspects of medicine)
to arrive at diagnoses logically and to explain their reasoning confidently.
The book starts with a review of the techniques of history taking and
examination, with hints on how to interpret the information and practical
advice on the diagnostic process. The bulk of the book is divided by body
system and describes the findings that can emerge at each stage of the
assessment process. The main differential diagnoses of significant findings
are given as a starting point for the diagnostic reasoning process. With
each diagnosis is listed the findings which suggests that the diagnosis
might be present and the evidence which confirms the diagnosis. |
