ISBN-10: 1846284333

Springer

"Atlas of Staging in Gynecological Cancer" is designed to be used in conjunction with diagnostic procedures between the surgeon and the radiologist. It describes the two common staging regimes used by all units across the world, namely, the FIGO staging system and the TNM system.

The ‘landscape’ format allows each chapter to open on the left hand side and read across the double spread, enabling the reader to see both staging systems at once. Each chapter has a separate section on Epidemiology, Diagnosis, with radiological plates, Management, in tabular form, and Key Points. The book takes the reader through each gynaecologic cancer with a short text accompanying clear radiographic images with legends. Staging is also shown in pictorial form in order to aid clarity.

The book will be of particular interest to the multi-disciplinary team who looks after this group of patients namely, clinical and radiation oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, radiologists and specialist nurses, all with their respective trainees.

Topics in Structural Heart Disease, 1st ed. 2010

Topics in Structural Heart Disease:

(Emerging Concepts in Cardiology Series)

Craig T. Basson, and Bruce B. Lerman

ISBN-10: 1933864591

ISBN-13: 978-1933864594

Demos Medical Publishing

Structural heart disease encompasses both congenital malformations of the heart or major arteries and disorders acquired in adulthood, e.g. valvular heart disease. Structural abnormalities can also arise from associated conditions such as diabetes, left ventricular hypertrophy or fibrosis, left ventricular dilatation or hypocontractility, and asymptomatic valvular disease, and are strongly associated with myocardial infarction and heart failure.

State of the art management of these disorders by the cardiology clinician demands a current knowledge of a vast amount of translational research in the pathophysiology of structural heart disease and its associated disorders as well as recent advances in diagnostic techniques and pharmacologic and interventional therapies. This volume provides expert reviews and assessment of the most recent clinical research and on current trends in evaluation and diagnosis and clinical management.

Key topics covered include the CT evaluation of coronary artery disease; MRI for assessment of the post-MI heart; diabetes; non-invasive assessment of peripheral vascular disease; and cardiac causes of stroke; and numerous others.
