case studies in abdominal and pelvic imaging

Case Studies in Abdominal and Pelvic Imaging is a collection of 100 real cases,
encompassing a broad range from common medical and surgical problems to more
rare but interesting pathologies.
The cases demonstrate the use of modern imaging techniques that are generally
commonplace to most hospitals, and illustrate how multiple modalities can be used in
the investigation of pathology.
The advent of PACS has meant images are more readily available to clinicians for
review in clinics, wards, etc. With the increasing number of multi-disciplinary meetings,
the imaging of more cases is reviewed and demonstrated by radiologists to a
wider group of clinicians. It is therefore important to have an understanding of imaging
and not simply to read the report.
In addition more US is being performed as an extension of examination and a
good understanding of the appearances and pathologies that may be demonstrated by
this clinician-performed US is essential.
This book is aimed at a broad range of specialties including gastroenterology,
general and GI surgery, gynaecology and urology and also radiologists in training and
medical students.
In addition, we intend its use to extend to those allied professionals who regularly
review imaging when treating their patients, e.g. cancer specialist nurses and
endoscopists.
The structure of the book is designed to enable the reader to study 100 cases. Each
commences with a brief history, accompanied by the relevant images and questions
on one page. The answers to the questions are found on the next page, with annotated
images demonstrating the salient features. There is then a brief discussion of the
condition, key teaching points, references and suggested further reading. This format
reflects changes in medical education, where some of the more traditional formats
have been replaced by clinical scenarios which often include an element of imaging.
We hope the cases will be interesting as well as educational.

جراحی زیبایی شکم -Aesthetic Surgery of the Abdominal - زبان اصلی

We have come a long way since the days when abdominal wall contouring was performed
by simple dermolipectomies, with no attention to diastasis correction and
muscular reinforcement, and little regard for the final aesthetic result. Nowadays, an
abdominoplasty may be indicated for even the most demanding of patients. Details
such as placement of the incision and umbilicoplasty are meticulously planned so as
to conceal undesirable scars. Since the advent of suction-assisted lipectomy, in association
with a classical operation or as an isolated procedure, the plastic surgeon has
become capable of remodeling the entire trunk, assuring removal of considerable
amounts of adipose tissue. Drs. Shiffman and Mirrafati have brought all of these
aspects together, in this most timely book, Aesthetic Surgery of the Abdominal Wall.
Here the reader will find an all-encompassing textbook, written in collaboration
with outstanding colleagues, all of whomhave contributed to this field of plastic surgery
that has been of particular interest to me. I am sure that, for both the younger
and the more experienced surgeon, this book will become a reference text, covering
all aspects of plastic abdominal surgery.
