Book Description

Anshan Gold Standard Mini Atlas Series November 15, 2007
Over the next 2 years around 50 titles will be published, covering a comprehensive range of disciplines within medicine and health sciences. In a handy 6' x 5' size, and between 250-350 pages, these pocket atlases will contain up-to-the-minute information on their subject, which has been compiled, distilled and updated from prior work by each author. Each mini-atlas will also contain a free CDROM or DVDROM with material to accompany and complement the text.

The 'Anshan Gold Standard Mini Atlas Series' will appeal to everyone involved in medicine and health sciences, from undergraduates to private practitioners, from medical professionals and academics.

This new title in the mini series gives details on how contrast-enhanced spiral CT and high field MRI has revolutionised the work-up and diagnosis of the trauma and emergency patient. State-of-the-art CT and MRI technology with multislice capabilities allows for rapid breath-hold scanning, permitting greater coverage with greater spatial detail. CT may be performed in hemodynamically stable patients in whom injury is suspected in much less time than in the recent past with greater accuracy and diagnostic confidence.

These capabilities have led to a dramatic decrease in surgical exploration for often minor injuries, improved triage by presenting the total spectrum of injuries, permitted recognition of clinically unanticipated injuries, and fostered earlier discharge of patients without significant injury with a high level of confidence. These influences have, in turn, led to a decrease in costs of patient management and, most likely, improved overall clinical outcomes.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This is a wonderful book. The small size of this mini atlas does not detract from its intrinsic value. It is concise, yet comprehensive. If I were a medical student I would read this book. If I were reviewing for a comprehensive examination, I would read this book. It is comprehensive, visually attractive and well written. --Bruce A. Fenderson. PHd (Thomas Jefferson University) © Doody Enterprises Inc - In review of the Mini Atlas of Histology

What the harassed junior doctor needs, in the vast majority of contexts, is not a comprehensive textbook laden with footnotes and detailed explanations, but something portable, a literal 'vade mecum' ('Come with me!')

The volume under discussion - like others in the Anshan Gold Standard Mini Atlas Series - is suitably small. It even incorporates a mini DVD-ROM, of small diameter, to add to the beautiful smallness of the whole enterprise. Yet the book does not skimp on the contents. The paper is of the usual high quality of Anshan publications. The book is, as is obvious from the above, small, with an attractive black cover with a little golden rosette on the cover indicating its membership in the series. --Seamus Sweeney, MD Eurotimes - In review of the Mini Atlas of Ophthalmic Surgery
