Clinical Surgery is a surgical textbook which illustrates surgical procedures in details and clearly.
Clinical Surgery has established itself as an excellent indispensable resource for undergraduate medical students and house officers. Written by an outstanding team of editors and expert contributors, the new updated and revised edition has been designed as a complete learning guide.
Written by a team of highly regarded scientists with a vast experience of the subject, An Atlas of Back Pain not only explains how to determine the underlying causes of patients' conditions but also describes the various treatment options available. It provides an easily accessible guide to all aspects of back pain and its differential diagnosis. Richly illustrated, the atlas contains more than 130 X-rays, CT scans, MRI images, and color pictures of both pathology and surgery. The expertly described techniques and procedures combined with the exceptional illustrations enhance the book's value as a resource for teaching, residency training, and clinical practice.
In this volume an endeavor has been made to combine, in a practical manner, the subjects of surgical anatomy and operative surgery, because a knowledge of the one is essential to the proper study of the other. Diagrammatic drawings have been used largely for the purpose of illustration.
Metallica as Philosophy - A Crash Course in Brain Surgery
Hit the lights and jump in the fire, you’re about to enter the School of Rock! Today’s lecture will be a crash course in brain surgery. This hard and fast lesson is taught by instructors who graduated from the old school. But back before these philosophy professors cut their hair, they were lieutenants in the Metal Militia. * A provocative study of the ‘thinking man’s’ metal band * Maps out the connections between Aristotle, Nietzsche, Marx, Kierkegaard, and Metallica, to demonstrate the band’s philosophical significance * etc.
The goal of this book is to characterize algebraically the closed 4-manifolds that fibre nontrivially or admit geometries in the sense of Thurston, or which are obtained by surgery on 2-knots, and to provide a reference for the topology of such manifolds and knots. The first chapter is purely algebraic. The rest of the book may be divided into three parts: general results on homotopy and surgery, geometries and geometric decompositions, and 2-knots.
