Specifically designed to help candidates revise for the MRCS exam, this two-volume pack features 350 Single Best Answer multiple choice questions, and 250 Extended Matching Questions, divided into 96 themes, covering the whole syllabus. Containing everything candidates need to pass the MRCS Part A, the pack focuses intensively on the application of basic sciences (applied surgical anatomy, physiology, and pathology) to the management of surgical patients. The high level of detail included within the questions and their explanations allows effective self-assessment of knowledge and quick identification of key areas requiring further attention. Varying approaches to Single Best Answer multiple choice questions are used, giving effective exam practice and guidance through revision and exam technique. This includes clinical case questions, positively-worded questions, requiring selection of the most appropriate of relatively correct answers; ‘two-step’ or ‘double-jump’ questions, requiring several cognitive steps to arrive at the correct answer; as well as factual recall questions, prompting basic recall of facts.

Current Progress In Nephrology Volume 3
In the third volume of Current Progress in Nephrology, recent advances in different areas of kidney disease have been authored by eminent clinicians. The first few chapters discuss the genetics of renal development, regenerative medicine in relation to kidney, molecular diagnostics. Newer diagnostic modalities like functional magnetic resonance imaging, point of care ultrasonography and electron microscopy of organised deposits in kidney diseases are discussed in the subsequent 3 chapters. Diagnosing and managing difficult conditions of chronic kidney disease like, hepatorenal syndrome, pregnancy related renal problems, and scleroderma crisis are discussed in appropriate chapters. Anaemia, usually associated with CKD, is a significant cause of left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiovascular disease. The guidelines for correcting anaemia with iron supplementation and erythropoietin stimulating agents are provided in an appropriate chapter. Autosomal dominant rubulointerstitial kidney disease, a frequent cause of progressive CKD often remains an underdiagnosed condition and has been highlighted in one nice review. Understanding another a rare condition, thrombotic miocroangiopathy is important since it may lead to endstage renal disease or death, if not identified and appropriately treated in time.

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. A separate section on Arrhythmias deals with some common, yet therapeutically challenging, rhythm disorders seen in clinical practice.

COVID – 19 VACCINES A Comprehensive Overview
We are amid a pandemic that continues to smoulder almost everywhere with raging fire off and on at different places. It has not only devastated hundreds of thousands of families who lost someone to the virus and affected over 300 million people directly, it has affected all 7.9 billion of us in some way or other. At the same time, humanity has risen well to the pandemic challenges. It was realized very early during the current outbreal that safe and effcacious vaccines would be crucial in tackling the pandemic. The unprecedented global collaboration among all stakeholders: Scientists, pharmaceutical industry, funding agencies and Governments demonstrated what a global will could do: hundreds of vaccine candidates developed, and vaccine deployment started within 12 months of isolation of new virus something that takes over a decade otherwise.

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.

Current Progress in Orthopedics Volume 2
This textbook represents the second text from the Editors who have invited a panel of distinguished authors with international reputations to present the current state of the art in orthopedic surgery. There is more awareness of musculoskeletal disease as a cause of disability in every country and as governments and non-governmental organizations move to address this problem there is increasing recognition of the importance of orthopedic surgery in dealing with musculoskeletal disease. The entire spectrum from congenital abnormalities through pediatric musculoskeletal illness, trauma, sports and degenerative diseases have been covered in this volume. This is the companion volume to the first published two years ago and we anticipate further volumes in the future as we attempt to address the ever expanding role of orthopedic surgery in modern healthcare.
