After an initial slow diffusion of minimal invasive approaches in liver surgery, laparoscopy has now been implemented worldwide. This process has been sped up after several papers showed the superiority of laparoscopy over the open approach with regard to short-term outcomes. Before, the adaptation and diffusion of LLS was much slower compared to other general surgical specialties. The challenge in controlling major hemorrhage, the risk of gas embolism, the steepness of the learning curve and the uncertainty about oncological outcomes were barriers for the implementation of LLS. Nowadays, laparoscopic liver resections (LLR) are considered safe and feasible. The same evolution is seen in the diffusion of robotic liver surgery (RLS). The first reported robotic liver resection was published in 2003. Introduction of RLS has remained very slow compared to other subspecialties. This could be attributed to the complexity of minimally invasive liver surgery and the steep learning curve to overcome. Furthermore, the absence of instruments for parenchyma transection appeared to be a barrier for many surgeons to start RLS. Nowadays, Robotic liver surgery is in it’s pioneering phase and limited to a few high volume centers. Furthermore data regarding the implementation of RLS are still scarce and the reproducibility of the implementation is still debated. This textbook will offer readers a useful overview of RLS state of the art, collecting the contributions of renowned robotic liver surgeons from Europe, Asia and the Americas. The editors will collaborate with a professional medical illustrator specialized in minimal invasive liver surgery to offer readers a visual experience of the most important surgical steps.

Textbook of Interventional Radiology


Free Download Textbook of Interventional Radiology
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819796008 | 572 Pages | PDF (True) | 126 MB
The textbook covers all the aspects of interventional radiology (IR), ranging from anatomy, pre-procedural evaluation, technique, post procedure care, and complications. It provides a comprehensive overview of both vascular and non-vascular interventions and thus fills the gap in the existing literature. The Initial chapters of the book focus on the hardware, drugs, contrast media, and imaging systems used in IR enabling the reader to become oriented to the interventional techniques that are covered in the subsequent chapters. Each chapter in the book focuses upon a particular set of interventions on an organ or organ system from head to toe, thereby facilitating convenient reading by the users. This book is designed not only to guide trainees enrolled in super-specialty and fellowship courses in interventional radiology (IR) but also to offer foundational IR training for general radiologists, effectively bridging the gap between general radiology and IR. It equips trainees with all the essential knowledge needed to practice IR and prepare for exams such as FRCR, EDiR, RANZCR, DM, and fellowship examinations. Additionally, it serves as a valuable reference for both practicing general radiologists and interventional radiologists. The book is relevant for MD/DNB trainees in radiology/radiodiagnosis, DM/DNrB trainees in interventional radiology/ neuroradiology/ cardiovascular radiology, and fellowship trainees in interventional radiology and its subspecialties.

The CISG A New Textbook for Students and Practitioners

English | 2007 | pages: 433 | ISBN: 386653020X | PDF | 1,0 mb
Today, international sales contracts are frequently governed by the 1980 UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The CISG is in force in more than 60 states all over world – both industrial nations and developing countries. It has been widely applied in international commercial transactions in the past twenty years. More than 1,700 decisions by state courts and arbitral tribunals have been reported so far. In short, the CISG has been one of the success stories in the field of the international unification of private law. The authors introduce the reader to the mechanics of that highly successful Convention by describing and analyzing the areas that the Convention covers, in particular its scope of application, the rules on the formation of contract, and the actual sales provisions. The book is primarily aimed at students, academics, and practitioners who have not yet studied the Convention in detail. From a comparative perspective, the book will be of particular interest as it combines a civil law view and a common law view on the CISG.

Into TA A Comprehensive Textbook on Transactional Analysis


Free Download William F. Cornell, "Into TA: A Comprehensive Textbook on Transactional Analysis"
English | ISBN: 1782202064 | 2016 | 444 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Transactional Analysis (TA) has continued to grow and develop ever since its inception by the Canadian American psychiatrist Dr Eric Berne over a half century ago. It has proven itself to be an extremely useful model for human relations professionals working in a variety of contexts and fields, such as psychotherapy, coaching and counselling, management and organisational development, or parenting and education. TA combines an accessible theory on the development of people and systems with a practical approach, centred on the possibilities of change, growth and development. Into TA is a comprehensive textbook of contemporary TA in theory and practice. The first section of the book focusses on theory, presented so that both beginning and experienced professionals will find much of value. TA theory is then further integrated with other current models of psychology, education, and organisational consultation. The second section provides rich and stimulating examples of TA in practice that bring the theory to life.
