Fiona Roberts - Böcker

Generations of medical and other health science students have been helped to pass their exams by the Illustrated books. The visual presentation of the subject matter, divided in to one-page units, makes for easy learning and recall. Now fully revised in this eighth edition, Pathology Illustrated covers all the essential information in as clear and concise a way as possible, focussing on what is most clinically important. Pathology remains central to the study of medicine and forms the bridge between the basic sciences and clinical medicine, making this book an essential purchase for today's student.

Covers both basic and systematic pathology

Each topic clearly summarised in one/two pages

Visual presentation for easy learning and recall

Fully updated throughout - including new and expanded coverage on the essentials of genetic disease, haemodynamics and shock and basic techniques in molecular biology

Includes an all new interactive eBook version:

downloadable for anytime access to the complete contents

enhanced with new, interactive multiple-choice questions for each chapter, to test your understanding and aid exam preparation

The Eye: Basic Sciences in Practice provides highly accessible, one-stop coverage of all the essential basic science required by today's ophthalmologists and optometrists in training. It is also core reading for those embarking on a career in visual and ophthalmic science, as well as an invaluable, current refresher for the range of practitioners working in this area.

Building on previous success, this fifth edition has been fully revised in line with current curricula, key research developments and clinical best practice. It succinctly incorporates critical developments in fast-moving fields related to the eye and vision, including genetics, pharmacology, microbiology, immunology, pathology, neurophysiology, neuroanatomy and imaging. Topical coverage includes:

Major advances in the search for new genes underpinning disease in ophthalmology

The emergence of new infections such as Ebola, Zika and COVID-19

The importance of the gastrointestinal tract as an immune organ and its functional dependence on the microbiome

Key aspects of melanopsin, melatonin and new ways of light sensing

Also, (print purchasers) benefit from access to the complete, fully searchable electronic text, with integrated video and other bonus materials to further explain and expand on key concepts. This combines to make The Eye a more flexible, comprehensive and engaging learning package than ever before.

Completely revised and updated, this well-illustrated and practically-oriented text has retained its general layout and style and division into specimen-type based chapters. The visual image remains key to explaining the pathological processes and this is facilitated by full colour photography throughout the text. The book emphasizes pertinent recent advances which augment the morphological study of disease. There is updated information on clinically important aspects, immunohistochemistry, tumour cytogenetics and molecular biology.  Illustrations include macro specimens, microscopic specimens and illustrations of additional techniques - immunohistochemistry, molecular analyses and electron microscopy - to help both the pathologist and ophthalmologist understand the process that a specimen must go through prior to producing a report and how these various techniques help to refine the diagnosis. The third edition of Lee’s Ophthalmic Histopathology is an invaluable reference source for ophthalmic pathologists, general pathologists and ophthalmologists.

'A Beard In Nepal 2. Return to the Village' is the story of Fiona and Tod's second visit to the village of Salle, high in the Himalayas of Nepal. They returned to take presents and supplies to the villagers. The book is again full of humour as the couple from Liverpool trek with Kalyani (the village school headmistress) to a remote, hidden valley where her new husband's family live, braving again those incredibly high, dangerous roads through the mountains. This book gives us more detail about the villagers lives, and the lives of the wonderful, happy village children, who live so very differently from their Western counterparts. It also touches on the downside of life in Nepal today; the corruption, the destruction of the forests, lack of electricity, and lack of clean water. 'A Beard In Nepal 2' tells us about Fiona and Tod's encounter with black, poisonous spiders; how they avoided having to eat a cockerel; a water buffalo that snores so loudly it has to sleep in its own specially built shelter; and once again the nightmare of travelling in a local bus through the remote tracks in the high Himalayas.The book also looks at developments in Kathmandu, such as the 'removal' of 10,000 street dogs in the last few months.

Completely revised and updated, this book now outlines changing patterns in eye trauma, corneal surgery and glaucoma;
