Vascular biology is an exciting and rapidly advancing area of medical research, with many new and emerging pathophysiological links to an increasing number of diseases. This updated and expanded new edition takes full account of these developments and conveys the basic science underlying a wide range of clinical conditions including atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, and pregnancy. As with the first edition, the publication provides an introductory account of vascular biology before leading on to explain mechanisms involved in disease processes. Other emerging topics include the role of nitric oxide and apoptosis in vascular biology. The breadth and range of subjects covered in this new edition do full justice to this increasingly important area of clinical research and medicine. This multidisciplinary approach will suit the needs of all those seeking to refresh their knowledge with the very latest advances from basic science through to clinical practice.

Single Best Answer (SBA) examinations are an increasingly popular means of testing medical students and those undertaking postgraduate qualifications in a number of subject areas. Written by a final year medical student, junior doctors and experienced clinicians, 500 Single Best Answers in Medicine provides invaluable guidance from authors who understand from personal experience that detailed and accurate explanations are the key to successful revision. This book presents 500 SBA-style questions arranged by specialty area as well as a practice exam of random questions. A clear discussion of how the correct answer was reached and other options ruled out for every question is given at the end of each section, making this book an excellent learning aid during all stages of clinical studies, and particularly while preparing for medical finals.

The aim of this book is to present a practical guide to therapeutic problems that may commonly face junior doctors. It is concise and relatively didactic, but does also discusses controversies that are of importance to prescribers.

A comprehensive learning tool to aid preparation for undergraduate pharmacology examinations, this study guide focuses on reinforcing core concepts, improving exam technique and developing confidence in answering the style of questions used in the examinations.Its aim is to provide an aid to learning and self-assessment for undergraduates in medicine and other health professionals. The importance of ensuring patient safety and the quality of patient care is becoming more important nationally and internationally, after a period when it was perhaps somewhat neglected in some academic centres. Though this study guide is not a substitute for a comprehensive text on the subject, it will be a useful aid for revision.There is no current single best answer book available to final year medical students to help them prepare for their final exams. A good and strong understanding of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics is an essential foundation in the development of a medical career, and this book highlights the core concepts through a systematic approach, building confidence in the ability to answer pertinent questions and also reinforcing learning.
