Breast Surgery

The management of both benign and malignant breast disease represents a major portion

of a surgeon’s responsibility, yet often comprises only a minor portion of their training. The diagnostic workup and treatment of breast disease is constantly changing and increasingly complex, making it extremely

challenging for the surgical trainee or practicing general surgeon to keep up with changes

in the field. Surgeons will see an extremely high volume of patients with complaints

related to the breast, and it is imperative that they allay fears, palliate symptoms, and not miss diagnosing malignant disease. Surgeons must also identify patients at high risk of developing breast cancer so that appropriate screening and prophylactic measures may be considered.

Gastrointestinal Surgery Haile

Many excellent textbooks of surgery exist. Most of these are large, multiauthored, and have the distinct advantage of drawing on the experience of many surgeons with expertise in specific areas. The advantage, however, is often obtained at the expense of a unified approach and style that a book written by a single author can provide. In writing this book about gastrointestinal surgery, I use an integrated approach to discuss fundamental anatomy and physiology; then examine how normal function is altered by disease, i.e., pathophysiology; and finally, provide the clinical correlates. Based on these three pillars of understanding particular disease processes, I then discuss surgical treatment as a means of correcting the

abnormal physiology to restore health. I hope this approach will provide the reader a coordinated understanding that minimizes the need for rote memorization. I believe that, when the student understands normal physiology, how disease disturbs that physiology, and how surgical treatment might restore normalcy, one need not remember too many extraneous facts. Instead, a foundation of understanding is established that stays with the student even after the details are forgotten. The Jesuits have an attractive definition of culture as “that which remains after you have forgotten all you have learnt.” While I hope that the readers of this book will not totally forget all the facts they have learnt, the concept of a culture of understanding is, nevertheless, valid.

Pediatric Surgery Ashcrafts

This is the fifth edition of Pediatric Surgery, but the first edition without the insights and efforts of either

Dr. Tom Holder or Dr. Keith Ashcraft. In 1980, these two master surgeons had the foresight to develop a

reference text focusing on infants and children with surgical conditions. The current editors would like

to dedicate this fifth edition to our founding editors, Drs. Tom Holder and Keith Ashcraft. Drs. Holder and Aschraft wanted to create a singlevolume pediatric surgical work that was broad in scope and had some detail about each condition; however, they did not intend for this work to be encyclopedic. As they stated in their first Preface, “An effort has been made to provide sufficient information concerning physiology, embryology, and anatomy so that the reader may gain a thorough understanding of the patient, the disease process, its symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Authors were selected because they are acknowledged authorities in the area of their contribution.

Tuberculosis Comprehensive Clinical Reference

On March 24, 1882, Dr. Robert Koch announced the discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium causing tuberculosis (TB). Koch’s achievement was the first step towards developing

tools to control TB. Despite initial success with the discovery of anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy 60 years ago, the tubercle bacillus has been a tenacious human enemy, hard to conquer, and today TB disease still kills 5,000 people daily; that is one person every 20 seconds. More than 80 percent of TB cases arise in only 22 countries, most of which are under-resourced. One-third of the world’s population is infected with M. tuberculosis, and 5 to 10 percent of infected people are likely to develop active TB; for those

infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and very young children, the likelihood of developing and dying from TB is much higher. In 2005, an estimated 1.8 million people died of TB; 195,000 were HIV co-infected. Today, fuelled by the HIV epidemic, TB disproportionately affects young adults in their most

productive years. It is pushing medical research to its limits with synergic efforts, interdisciplinary approaches, and translational research using the latest technology. M. tuberculosis and HIV co-infection produces a deadly partnership making both infections more destructive together than alone. This is most apparent in Africa where, according to World Health Organization (WHO), TB cases increase 10 percent annually in the wake of increasing levels of HIV infection and, directly and indirectly, involve increasing numbers of children. TB control programmes worldwide are increasingly faced with multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) unresponsive to treatment that may return control programmes to the pre-antibiotic era, unless care is taken of currently existing drugs and new classes of anti-tuberculosis drugs are developed.

Clinical Asthma

Asthma is one of the most common respiratory disorders in the world, yet there is no single comprehensive source to provide assistance to the clinician in the assessment and management of this condition. In Clinical Asthma, we have sought to bring together world experts in the field of asthma to provide a practical and useful resource for all who take care of patients affected by this disease. This textbook is written

for students, clinicians, educators, and researchers who are seeking an authoritative, up-to-date source about asthma. We believe all individuals working with patients affected by asthma should have ready access to such a resource. In this first edition of Clinical Asthma, we have purposefully incorporated two recently updated international guidelines. The Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), released in 2006, and the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) Expert Panel Report 3, released in 2007, have been extensively incorporated throughout each chapter.

Adam Psychopathology

comprehensivereview of current clinical descriptions, research , and theories of psychopathology. Descriptive psychopathology is a field that forms the foundation of clinical practice and research in clinical psychology, psychiatry, psychiatric social work, psychiatric nursing, and allied professions in mental health. Since the 1st edition, the editors have devised and updated a handbook to cover both general and specific topics in psychopathology that would be useful to researchers, practitioners, and graduate or other advanced students in the mental health and behavioral medicine professions. To implement this plan, we have very carefully chosen colleagues whom we respect for their expertise in particular fields. These authors include both clinicians and researchers who have outstanding national reputations, as well as more junior behavioral scientists and clinicians who, in our opinion, will achieve similar recognition in the future. The excellent chapters in this book lead us to believe that we have chosen wisely. We would like to express our appreciation to these authors for their outstanding contributions and cooperation. This 3rd edition of the handbook was updated to include the most recent changes in the official diagnostic manual, the American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th ed. (DSM-IV), and two chapters were added to address schizophrenia, a topic of resurgent interest. The remaining chapters have been revised to reflect recent changes in research and theories. The authors were asked to

provide a comprehensive overview of their topics rather than focusing on their own research or theoretical biases. Furthermore, emphasis has been placed on clinical description, research, and theoretical implications, rather than remedial or therapeutic procedures, although these topics are discussed briefly in some chapters.

The volume is divided into six major parts. Part 1 is an overview of various theoretical and methodological issues in psychopathology. In Part 2, the traditional areas of abnormal behavior, including the neurotic and psychotic disorders, are discussed. In Part 3, the personality disorders are described, reflecting the increased attention to these disorders. Part 4 covers the disorders associated with social and situational problems, and

Part 5 focuses on disorders linked to physical trauma and medical illness. Parts 4 and 5 could have also been labeled Behavioral Medicine 1 and 2 because they include topics in behavioral medicine and health psychology. Part 6 describes disorders arising in specific life stages.

Essentials of Psychiatry

Essentials of Psychiatry is a synopsis of the 2400 page Psychiatry Second Edition also published by John Wiley and Sons. Psychiatry has received exceptional reviews in the leading medical and psychiatric journals within the United States and abroad. Essentials of Psychiatry provides a broad overview to clinical psychiatry for beginning psychiatry residents, nonpsychiatric physicians, medical students, and people working in related mental health disciplines such as psychology, social work, psychiatric nursing

and counseling. We hope that family members of patients may fi nd this abbreviated text accessible and helpful as well. Essentials of Psychiatry differs from the comprehensive two-volume text in

that it does not include such an extensive discussion of the neural and social sciences that underlie the practice of psychiatry. The 112 chapters by more than 270 authors of the Psychiatry Second Edition have been condensed by approximately 50% for this new book. All chapters have been updated to include the

latest advances in psychopharmacology, psychopathology and psychosocial treatment. Clinical vignettes, as well as DSM-IVTM and ICD 10 related material, have been retained from the original book to preserve an international scope. As indicated in the initial chapters of the Essentials, we have also maintained the focus

on the centrality of the doctor–patient relationship. The challenge of condensing a text as large as Psychiatry

Development in Infancy

Philosophers since Plato had speculated about the importance of infancy, but it was not until the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that scientific observations of infants and theoretical speculations about infants began in earnest. Charles Darwin and Sigmund Freud were largely responsible for these initiatives. Not until the middle of the twentieth century did the scientific study of infancy elicit widespread attention, although infancy has since become one of the most stimulating areas of research in the biological, behavioral, and social sciences. Researchers have come to appreciate how much the study of infancy

contributes to our knowledge of developmental processes and the role early experience plays in shaping those processes. Scientific interest in infant development has also expanded during this time, in part because of the emergence of some remarkably influential theories and in part because technological advances

rendered infants accessible to empirical inquiry. As a result of this intensified scrutiny, our understanding of infancy itself has increased dramatically in the last 3 decades.
