      While the practice of feline general and oncologic surgery has developed greatly in recent years, the option of referral for some cat owners is not always a viable one. The increasing requirement for the general veterinarian to be competent in performing feline surgery has not, however, been supported by a dedicated text on the subject. Feline General and Oncological Surgery assembles an international team of editors and contributors to present the first comprehensive resource devoted solely to all aspects of soft-tissue surgeries in the cat. Techniques are covered in a practical and detailed ‘how to’ manner and range from the common to the more specialized, ensuring the widest possible appeal. The book divides into several sections, initially considering the general approach to the feline surgery patient and then proceeding to detailed coverage of surgery by anatomic location. Part 1 deals with the basics of feline anesthesia, analgesia, preoperative and postoperative care of the patient, surgical instrumentation and surgical principles for oncology cases. Part 2 covers surgical techniques of general and oncological feline diseases and injuries, which are explained as step-by-step methods with many specially prepared schematic illustrations specific to the cat. Emphasis is on presenting both classical methods and new techniques. Feline Soft Tissue and General Surgery is the perfect sister-text to Feline Orthopedic Surgery and Musculoskeletal Disease, also published by Elsevier. Together they comprise a comprehensive and complete literature giving practial coverage of all possible surgical procedures in the cat.

      La prise en charge de la femme enceinte tient une place importante dans la pratique quotidienne du médecin de famille. S'il ne réalise pas l'accouchement, il est amené à surveiller la grossesse, estimer les risques encourus, examiner, traiter la femme enceinte dans le cadre de l'urgence et surveiller les suites de couches. Cet ouvrage rappelle le développement normal du foetus, de la fécondation à l'accouchement, et détaille les différents problèmes de la prise en charge de la grossesse : - la surveillance : l'examen obstétrical, le calendrier des examens obligatoires ou recommandés à prescrire, le conseil génétique et le diagnostic anténatal ; - le dépistage et la prise en charge avec le spécialiste des pathologies survenant au cours de la grossesse : les pathologies mineures inhérentes à la grossesse (nausées, troubles vasculaires, etc.), les maladies infectieuses, l'hypertension, le diabète, les maladies gastroentérologiques... vasculaires et hématologiques, les incompatibilités foeto-maternelles, les urgences abdominales, les pathologies tropicales, les contre-indications des médicaments, vaccinations, irradiations ; - les conduites à tenir devant des anomalies du déroulement de la grossesse : saignement des premier et troisième trimestres, écoulement vulvaire, fièvre, menace d'accouchement, grossesse qui se prolonge ; - la conduite de l'accouchement inopiné à domicile que le praticien de terrain doit savoir gérer ; - l'examen du nouveau-né et les soins à la naissance, la lactation, les suites de couches, le retour à domicile étant le plus souvent précoce. L'évolution des techniques et de la thérapeutique en pratique obstétricale, ainsi que le succès des précédentes éditions justifient cette nouvelle édition. Désormais entièrement en couleur, elle bénéficie d'une mise à jour complète des informations et d'une iconographie enrichie et renouvelée. Elle intègre les recommandations du CNGOF, les propositions de la HAS et les conférences de consensus. Le niveau de preuve est également donné en fonction de la qualité des résultats disponibles dans la littérature.

      "Once I started reading, it became clear that this book provides a very clear, concise overview on many of the emerging areas and expanding topics in gastrointestinal pathology." ACP News, Sept 14 The gastrointestinal tract may be affected by a diverse spectrum of inflammatory and neoplastic disorders, many of which pose problems for practicing surgical pathologists on a daily basis. Pathologists' understanding of these diseases continues to evolve rapidly. The topics in this issue of Surgical Pathology Clinics address a wide range of neoplasms and present ancillary techniques that play an increasingly important role in diagnostic pathology and include prognostic and predictive markers that have become a routine part of gastrointestinal pathology practice. These expert reviews provide surgical pathologists with critical practical updates on many of these challenging areas, with an emphasis on differential diagnosis and diagnostic pitfalls. Some topics include: Lymphomas of the gastrointestinal tract; Mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract other than GIST; Barrett's esophagus: evolving concepts in diagnosis and neoplastic progression; Immunohistochemistry in neoplastic gastrointestinal pathology; HER2 testing in adenocarcinomas of the upper gastrointestinal tract; Pediatric inflammatory gastrointestinal pathology; IgG4-related disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. The reader will be interested in cross referencing the first volume on GI pathology presented in this series; its popularity with surgical pathologists has led to this second volume, which covers different topics in GI pathology. Jason Hornick of Brigham and Women's provides his expertise to lead this issue.
