DESCRIPTION Meningiomas, the second most frequent of intracranial tumors, are characterized by a protean range of possible locations and appearances, due to their origin from the extensive and intricately formed meninges. As such, a wide variety of differential diagnoses is typical, and the therapies chosen are necessarily highly variable.

The introductory chapters of this book cover the pathology of these tumors, the evolution of special surgical methods, instrumentation, intraoperative monitoring, and the role of radiosurgery. Ten surgical chapters cover the individual regions of occurrence, including the sphenoid wing, olfactory groove, cerebellopontine angle, etc., all of which require a specialized approach and therapeutic strategy.

SALES HOOKS • Meningiomas are the most common and one of the most fascinating skull base lesions.• The strategies in this book keep a special focus on preserving quality of life in patients• These authors are world experts in the field• Discussion of pathology and therapy organized by anatomic location of the lesions with the

DESCRIPTION Passing the plastic surgery board examinations necessitates meeting extremely demanding criteria. Certification from the ABPS is the gold standard – a significant milestone requiring intensive study, passing the written exam, and the highly challenging two-day oral board component. Acing the plastic surgery boards means a plastic surgeon has already demonstrated a high level of training and education, essential elements for achieving optimal results and patient satisfaction.

Plastic Surgery Oral Board Exam: Management Q&A by Devra Becker restructures core plastic surgery knowledge into the conceptual framework needed for mastery of the plastic surgery oral board exam. It fills a gap in the literature, exploring levels of knowledge such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, as well as practical applications including fluid management, intraoperative and postoperative challenges, and ethical considerations. Questions and answers on key reconstructive, aesthetic, and elective procedures are encompassed throughout 22 chapters, enabling readers to synthesize knowledge and articulate it efficiently and effectively.

Key Highlights:

• Nearly 400 Q&A mirror the type and sequencing of questions on the oral board exam• Reconstruction topics include skin cancer, facial defects and trauma, back and trunk,

traumatic hand injuries, lower extremity wounds, cleft lip and palate, and craniosynostosissyndromes

• Aesthetic and elective surgery chapters cover the aging face, breast, body and trunk, andhand

• Current recommendations for management of coexisting medical conditions such asthromboembolism prophylaxis and perioperative management of cardiac disease

This is an invaluable board study resource for plastic surgery residents and surgeons preparing for the oral board exam. Its comprehensive core curriculum content will also benefit clinicians prepping for in-service exams.

SALES HOOKS • With a failure rate so high, the oral boards are a pain point during plastic surgery training; this

book simplifies studying.• To combat the difficulty studying for an oral examination, this book mimics the format in

which questions can be expected to be asked.• Each chapter can function as a stand-alone review for the topic it covers, but core concepts

are repeated and reinforced throughout the book.• This book focuses on application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation; it relies on charts,

algorithms, and appendices to allow information retention and practice.

DESCRIPTION Thorough knowledge of the lumbar plexus and its branches is crucial to achieving positive patient outcomes, especially with newer surgical approaches. Many of the nerve branches are formed within the psoas major muscle and careful dissection is necessary to free them during surgery to prevent damage. Moreover, the iliac vessels are medial to some of the larger branches of the plexus, such as the femoral and obturator nerves. In the retroperitoneal space, the kidney and ureter are nearby. In addition, due to the overlying peritoneal cavity and its contents, accessing the lumbar plexus presents considerable challenges.

Surgical Anatomy of the Lumbar Plexus is the only book on the market devoted to the lumbar plexus and its branches, focusing on anatomy and clinical applications, pathology, surgery, and imaging. Internationally known authors R. Shane Tubbs, Marios Loukas, Amgad Hanna, Ros Oskouian, and a cadre of esteemed specialists provide unique insights, clinical pearls, knowledge based on thousands of spine surgeries, and a well-rounded multidisciplinary perspective.

SALES HOOKS • Nine separate chapters dedicated to impacted nerves: subcostal, iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal,lateral femoral cutaneous, genitofemoral, femoral, obturator, furcal, and accessory obturator

• History and overview of dermatomal anatomy of branches derived from the lumbar plexus• Anesthetic blockage of the femoral, lateral femoral cutaneous, iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal,

and genitofemoral nerves• Tips for preventing complications and achieving positive outcomes for lateral transpsoas

approaches to the lumbar spine and other procedures• More than 100 novel illustrations provide clarity and understanding of a complex anatomical

area as it relates to surgery involving the lumbar plexus and branches

DESCRIPTION

Catalytic reductions are among the most used synthetic transformations, and the past 15 years have seen great progress in this field. Science of Synthesis: Catalytic Reduction inOrganic Synthesis includes the latest developments, as well as selective coverage of more well-established methods. Both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic systems are covered, and enantioselective methodology is well represented. There is a focus on the use of metal nanoparticles, both in suspension as well as on solid supports. Furthermore, the advent of research on the conversion of renewable resources into fuels and chemicals has given a great impetus to the field, as deoxygenations are often the first step in the conversion of biomass and this can often be achieved using hydrogenation or hydrogenolysis reactions. Scope, limitations, and mechanism of the reactions are discussed and key experimental procedures are included.
