      La Sección 7 del Curso de Ciencias Básicas y Clínicas de la AAO hace una descripción de la anatomía y las funciones normales de los tejidos orbitarios y perioculares, al igual que identifica los procesos fisiopatológicos generales y específicos que afectan a la estructura y función de estos tejidos. Cuestiones relacionadas con los estudios radiológicos más adecuados, diagnóstico diferencial, técnicas de exploración y principios básicos del tratamiento tanto quirúrgico como farmacológico de las patologías que afectan a la órbita, párpados y aparato lagrimal, son otros de los temas abordados. El tratamiento quirúrgico de la patología palpebral tiene hoy en día una gran relevancia tanto desde el punto de vista clínico como estético. Por ello, en este libro se dedica una parte importante a la descripción de las técnicas quirúrgicas indicadas en este tipo de alteraciones y también a las posibles complicaciones quirúrgicas derivadas. Los autores, reconocidos expertos internacionales en la materia, han realizado una revisión exhaustiva y pormenorizada de los contenidos, los cuales están avalados por las principales sociedades científicas tanto nacionales como internacionales.

      Heart disease is the leading cause of death among US women over the age of 65, resulting in more deaths than all forms of cancer combined. Women are less likely to survive heart attacks than are men, possibly because symptoms in women may differ and may be less recognizable. In addition, women consistently tend to have worse clinical outcomes in percutaneous coronary interventions than do men. For these reasons, an issue on percutaneous interventions in women is timely.

      "This is a really great study aid and I really enjoyed going through it for this review." From the African Journal of Emergency Medicine An invaluable self-assessment tool for emergency medicine trainees in Australasia. Emergency Medicine MCQs is an essential resource for Australasia’s emergency medicine trainees. A practical self-assessment tool, the book assists trainees as they expand and refine their knowledge of emergency medicine, and will ultimately help them pass the Australasian Emergency Medicine Fellowship examination (FACEM). The multiple-choice questions in Emergency Medicine MCQs cover both the core and non-core areas in the Australasian Emergency Medicine Fellowship. Using this text, trainees can revise alone or with their peers to identify the areas in which they need further development. The curriculum is divided into three main areas where trainees require expert level of knowledge, high level of knowledge and general level of knowledge. It covers important clinical problems encountered in everyday emergency medicine practice – from cardiovascular emergencies through to obstetric and gynaecology emergencies, disaster management and toxicology. As well as being ideal for emergency medicine trainees qualifying through AECM, the book is a useful resource for GPs taking the GEM qualification through ACEM and JMOs ‘on call’. Plus, this emergency medicine text is accompanied by an app – a separate product containing 180 randomised multiple-choice questions on all the topics within the book. "This is a really great study aid and I really enjoyed going through it for this review. In addition this is not a textbook but a study aid, and particularly one aimed at multiple choice questions. So some omissions will not come as a surprise although I could not see that this detracts from the overall quality of the book in any way."
