Oncology examinations aim at finding how much a Trainee is fluent in such work before gifting him/her to the society.This needs the idea of pathology, basics of Haematology, radiology, and genetics. All these important topics are addressed in the form of 12 short chapters. Case discussions are made interesting by sharing important and relevant points in eight long cases in Question and answer format, including history, differential diagnosis, initial investigations, and their logical utilization in approaching a diagnosis. We hope this book is equally helpful for those preparing for oncology entrance examinations and first-year residents as well as final-year students who are going to give practical examinations and Esma examination. Key features a clinically focused book packed with all the essential information to help in timely diagnosis and management of patients explains the important concepts for quick revision for the viva day a useful compendium for Esme exam, which is globally undertaken by oncology residents and young oncologists Dr Venkata Pradeep Babu koyyala, MD, DNB, ECMO is Assistant Professor, Department of medical oncology, Homi Bhabha cancer hospital and research centre, visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, and Esma fellow, princess Margaret cancer hospital, Toronto, Canada.

Another paradigm – changing topic involves population genetic screening for individualized preventative medicine. This volume addresses a spectrum of gynecologic topics, from dyslipidemia in pregnancy, obesity and reproduction, modern concepts of managing climacteric and menopause, treatment options for overactive bladder and the use of mesh treatment for urogynaecology. There are also chapters dealing with prevention and management of gynaecologic cancers such as those of the cervix and the endometrium. This volume updates new advancement and pratice in obstetric and gynaecological techniques, such as cervical cerlage in modern obsteric practice, routine third trimester scan for the detection of foetal anomalies and now to reduce complications in laparoscopic surgery. Last but not least, this volume addresses third gender gynaecology, the obstetric and gynaecologic care for transgender patients and the increasing use of cosmatic gynaecology in recent years. The editors are grateful to all the authors who have given their expertise and enabled this volume to improve the care of obstetric and gynaecologic patients throughout the world.

Puzzling Cases in Stroke
Stroke is the leading cause of permeant disability , including post stroke dementia, pain, depression and personality changes. While large Clinical Trials reflect information about large stroke populations, the presentation of each and every stroke patient is individual and special. Currently there are only few books which illustrate case oriented discussion. This is unique book which includes common and unusual case of stroke, so as to reinforce diagnostic skills through careful analysis of individual presenting patterns, and to guide treatment decisions.

Puzzling Cases in Stroke Vol. 2
Stroke is a treatable medical emergency affecting about 15 million people every year worldwide. It is the most common cause of common cause of disability globally and is the third most common cause of death. In the present times, there are effective treatment options which if given timely will benefit the patients of stroke remarkably. Therefore, correct diagnosis of acute stroke is extremely important for the clinicians to provide appropriate treatments and to ensure prevention of acute complications, including recurrent strokes. But sometimes a typical or uncommon presentation of stroke or “stroke chameleons”can lead to diagnostic dilemma. Therefore, timely diagnosis and management may be delayed. There are time – tested strategies which when strictly followed by the Neurphysician can reduce the chances of missing the correct diagnosis. Firstly, “Listen very carefully to the patient. He is telling you the diagnosis.” Clinicians should suspect stroke when the history suggests abrupt onset of neurological symptoms. Remember, Stroke is a clinical diagnosis and imaging is providing the corroboratory evidence. Secondly, a complete and systematic neurological examination should be routinely done in patients presenting with acute neurological symptoms because this might shed light on the true nature of the problem. Finally, even the most sophisticated neuroimaging tests might miss the stroke in the early hours after the event.

CASES IN CLINICAL MEDICINE CARDIOLOGY
This book is a case – based approach to some of the connon clinical problems and case scenarios in cardiology encountered by clinicians on a day-to-day basis. It is a multi-author work, with contributions from some of the most reowned clinicians ans academicians in the field of Cardiology. Each chapter begins with a case scenario, and goes on to discuss the diagnostic approach, Mamagement, and key learnings for the clinicians faced with a similar case. The most contemporary evidence is reviewed, and practical algorithms suggested wherever appropriate. We have endeavored to provide a balanced coverage of the vast fields of Cardiology, with topics including ischemic heart disease, general Cardiology, congenital, valvular and structural heart disease and arrhythmias. The selected cases cover exciting new interventional techniques like TAVR, precutaneous pulmonary valve replacement, and LA appendage closure replacement., as well as recent development in coronary physiology, robotics in intervention, imaging modalities like IVUS and OCT, cardiac MRI and advanced echocardiographic techniques like strain rate imaging.

Manual of Clinical Endocrinology 2/Ed.
Algorithms provide a logical, concise and cost-effective approach to medical reasoning: utilizing a concise, step-by-step approach based upon clues from the history, physical examination and laboratory studies, algorithms help avoid excessive unnecessary procedures and testing. The 2nd edition of Manual of Clinical Endocrinology deals with practical issues ranging from simple thyroid function testing and thyrotoxicosis to approaching a patient with suspected thyrotoxicosis. Algorithms are simple and effective tools for the practitioner in a hurry and since the majority of the intended audience, physicians, general practitioners and postgraduates have very little time amidst their busy clinical routine, this manual uses algorithms. Twenty-two clinical issues are covered by an algorithmic approach, breaking down long lists and tables of differential diagnosis into smaller, more manageable ones. Common clinical symptoms, signs and laboratory abnormalities are classified as they present themselves at the patient’s bedside. This manual is an attempt to provide the busy practitioner with a desktop reckoner which will be useful while approaching a patient with a suspected endocrine problem. The authors have strived to be practical not pedantic – at the same time have made great effort to ensure that the recommendations are evidence based.
