27-Gauge Vitrectomy: Minimal Sclerotomies for Maximal Results
by Ulrich Spandau Mitrofanis PavlidisThis book provides step-by-step instructions on how to operate with 27G instrumentation in a wide range of surgical indications, including vitreous floaters, macular holes, dropped nucleus, retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, submacular hemorrhage, retinopathy of prematurity and much trauma. All surgeries are approached in cookbook fashion, with initial coverage of the "ingredients" (devices and instruments) and then meticulous description of preparation and performance with supporting photographs, drawings and videos. In addition, the differences and benefits in comparison with 23G and 25G vitrectomy are highlighted. Small-gauge vitrectomy has radically changed the ways in which vitrectomy is performed. 27G vitrectomy is the most recent and most exciting development in small-gauge vitrectomy. The healing time is faster but the small diameter prolongs the duration of surgery. This obstacle has been overcome with powerful new vitrectomy machines and revolutionary vitreous cutters with two cutting blades making 27G vitrectomy as fast as 25G. This new equipment has expanded the indications for 27G surgeries immensely from detachment surgery to retinopathy of prematurity and the advent of new instruments may make 27G the gold standard in the future. This book, written by authors with huge experience in 27G vitrectomy, will enable surgeons to fully exploit its advantages.

33 Meditations on Death: Notes from the Wrong End of Medicine
by David JarrettAS FEATURED ON BBC RADIO 4 'Start the Week' : 'very moving - brilliant and profound'"Brilliant - a grimly humorous yet humane account of the realities of growing old in the modern age." - Henry Marsh"A remarkably likeable guide to a grisly subject ... daunting, yet ultimately life-affirming" - Independent What is a good death? How would you choose to live your last few months? How do we best care for the rising tide of very elderly? This unusual and important book is a series of reflections on death in all its forms: the science of it, the medicine, the tragedy and the comedy. Dr David Jarrett draws on family stories and case histories from his thirty years of treating the old, demented and frail to try to find his own understanding of the end. Profound, provocative, strangely funny and astonishingly compelling, it is an impassioned plea that we start talking frankly and openly about death. He writes about all the conversations that we, our parents, our children, the medical community, our government and society as a whole should be having. And it is a call to arms for us to make radical changes to our perspective on 'the seventh age of man'.-More praise for 33 Meditations on Death:"This book will stay with you." - Derren Brown"Bursting with empathy, common sense and humour." - Professor Dame Sue Black

36 Steps on the Road to Medicare
by C. Stuart Houston Merle MassieThe co-operative spirit of citizens in twentieth-century Saskatchewan nurtured innovation in health care and health policy. 36 Steps on the Road to Medicare showcases the decisions that led to the province's medicare system - the forerunner of Canadian health care. Stuart Houston and Merle Massie document the range of Saskatchewan leadership on Canadian, North American, and world stages: municipal doctors and municipal hospitals, the first Red Cross Outpost Hospital in the British Empire, tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment, a successful pilot comprehensive regional health care plan, government-sponsored cancer clinics, innovative LSD and patient-oriented treatment for psychoses, the first full-time cancer physicist in Canada, and the world's first concerted clinical use of the betatron and Cobalt-60 in cancer treatment. They show how North America's first social-democratic government, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation - elected in 1944 and led by the incomparable Tommy Douglas - created the blueprint for comprehensive health care and how sequential steps on the road to medicare were implemented quickly and within budget. When federal support for national hospitalization became available, Saskatchewan could afford to initiate medicare in 1962. Other Canadian provinces soon followed Saskatchewan's lead. Updated to engage with current debates, 36 Steps on the Road to Medicare navigates the history of medicare and demonstrates the spirit of innovation that Canada will need to save it.

36 zieke kinderen
by Guus Jonge Arwen SprijErvaring opdoen met echte patiënten is een essentieel onderdeel van iedere geneeskundige opleiding. In het contact met patiënten leert de co-assistent de theorie toe te passen en de problemen van de patiënt te herkennen en te formuleren. Maar er is altijd een tekort aan nieuwe 'echte' patiënten in de opleiding. 36 zieke kinderen is een papieren aanvulling op het aantal beschikbare echte patiënten. In dit boek leeft u zich in als arts betrokken bij kinderen. In dit boekje kunt u vragen bij uiteenlopende klachten, zoals acute diarree, congenitale heupdysplasie en schoolproblematiek beantwoorden, door de antwoorden te noteren zoals u dat zou doen in het patiëntendossier: kort en bondig, puntsgewijs en overzichtelijk. Na iedere patient kunt u uw antwoorden vergelijken met de suggesties van de auteurs. Uiteraard zijn er voor veel problemen geen standaardantwoorden. Soms zal zelfs doorverwijzing de beste optie zijn. Voor verdere studie en verdieping vindt u na elke bespreking een suggestie voor nadere literatuur. Deze derde druk van 36 zieke kinderen is bedoeld voor co-assistenten en basisartsen.

365 Days: 50th Anniversary Edition
by Ronald J. GlasserNational Book Award Finalist: The Vietnam War as seen through the eyes of an army doctor—&“a book of great emotional impact&” (The New York Times). In 1968, as a serviceman in the Vietnam War, Dr. Ronald Glasser was sent to Japan to work at the US Army hospital at Camp Zama. It was the only general army hospital in Japan, and though Glasser was initially charged with tending to the children of officers and government officials, he was soon caught up in the waves of casualties that poured in from every Vietnam front. Thousands of soldiers arrived each month, demanding the help of every physician within reach. In 365 Days, Glasser reveals a candid and shocking account of that harrowing experience. He gives voice to seventeen of his patients, wounded men counting down the days until they return home. Their stories bring to life a world of incredible bravery and suffering, one where &“the young are suddenly left alone to take care of the young.&” An instant classic of war literature, 365 Days is a remarkable, ground-level account of Vietnam&’s human toll.
