Download or read book Handbook of Pediatric Surgery written by Chandrasen K. Sinha and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-06-25 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although pediatric surgery is a distinct and evolving specialty, it still remains an integral part of most general surgical and paediatric medical practice. Nevertheless, surgery in children does differ from adult practice in various fundamental ways, and there are key physiological and anatomical differences that constantly need underlining. Progress and improvement in outcome has also been rapid but it is sometimes difficult for practitioners to keep themselves up-to-date with the usual surgical or paediatric text books. This book will give a concise overview of all important topics and is designed to provide information in order to recognise the common surgical conditions; namely typical symptoms and signs, investigation and then treatment management. It will also provide an anatomical and physiological background to aid understanding, in addition to emphasising logical, and where possible, evidence-based practice by the use of flow charts, tables and algorithms. Authored by an international range of leading contributors, this is the first book of its kind to offer comprehensive coverage to this topic in a quick reference, pocket-book format.

This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "At a time when China–Southeast Asia relationships are undergoing profound changes, it is pleasing to have a volume which examines the interactions between China and the polities and societies to the south through time. With multiple aims of exploring the relations between northern Chinese cultures and those of the south, examining the cultural plurality of areas which are today parts of Southern China, and illuminating the relations between Sinitic and non-Sinitic societies, the volume is broad in concept and content. Within these extensive rubrics, this edited collection further interrogates the nature of Asian polities and their historiography, the constitution of Chineseness, imperial China’s southern expansions, cultural hybridity, economic relations, regional systems and ethnic interactions across East Asia. The editors Victor H. Mair and Liam C. Kelley are to be congratulated for bringing together such a wealth of contributions offering nascent interpretations and broad overviews, set within the overarching historical and contemporary contexts provided through Wang Gungwu’s introduction." -- Dr Geoffrey Wade, ANU College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University

Download or read book Keep Your Gallbladder written by Arlan Cage and published by Dr. Cage Says, LLC. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you, or a friend or family member has gallstones, or is having gallbladder attacks, you have no doubt been told by a medical doctor that you need to have surgery to remove your gallbladder. This procedure, called a cholecystectomy, which results in the permanent amputation of an important internal organ, is advertised as a safe procedure. The reality, however, is a bit different. Twenty five percent of those who have their gallbladder removed have the same or worse pain after the surgery than they did before! While the gallbladder removal procedure may be safe from a statistical standpoint, about one percent of those who undergo this surgery actually die from the procedure. This translates to almost 10,000 deaths per year in the US. So despite what your surgeon may tell you, having your gallbladder removed is neither completely safe nor effective. Perhaps even more important, however, it that the same conditions that lead to gallstones also are precursors to other, more serious diseases. The list includes obesity, heart disease, strokes and diabetes, as well as others. Gallbladder surgery does nothing to correct those more serious problems. Far more effective and much safer, both in the short term and the long term, is to correct the underlying problems that lead to gallstones, which has the effect of slowly dissolving your stones painlessly and easily. The side effects of this approach actually reduce your risk of all the other conditions listed above. The end result is that you restore your natural, vibrant health and Keep Your Gallbladder!
