Multiple books on techniques of interventional pain management are available, however, applications to cancer pain management are lacking. The cancer pain specialists at Memorial Sloan Kettering have spent the last decade perfecting techniques in regional anesthesia, pain medicine, neuromodulation, and rehabilitation and applying what they have learned to alleviating pain in the oncologic population. Cancer Pain Procedural Techniques imparts to readers a clear understanding of the techniques currently available to manage cancer pain; focusing not only on indications specific to the cancer patient, but providing a guide to appropriately apply these techniques, and apply them safely, in the oncologic patient. The text surveys important procedures necessary for a pain practitioner to treat an oncologic patient. Specific guidelines for indications and procedure descriptions along with anatomical and image-guided descriptions are included in each chapter. Chapters address both acute cancer related pain syndromes and treatment related pain syndromes. New interventional options such as percutaneous cordotomy and radiofrequency ablation of vertebral bodies are also detailed. This book functions as a practical aid and should appeal to established pain practitioners as well as pain practitioners in training.

A critical examination of an increasingly vital role in surgical practice Surgical first assistants (SFAs) are registered nurses or operating department practitioners (ODPs) who play a crucial role in the operating theatre during surgical procedures. Under the direct supervision of the operating surgeon, an SFA provides continuous skilled assistance, performing a range of established responsibilities to assist the surgeon predominantly in the intraoperative phase of the patient's journey, but also in the pre- and post-operative phases.

To Tell the Truth
Testifying as an expert in emotionally-laden child abuse cases is no easy task. Dr. Reece, a retired Clinical Professor of Pediatrics, has taught medical students, residents, and colleagues nationally and internationally about the diagnosis and management of child abuse cases for over forty years. He crafted this book, To Tell the Truth to illustrate countervailing arguments that jurors may hear in cases of abusive head trauma. He hopes this will enable the reader to distinguish between fact and fiction in testimony."A compelling story addressing an issue familiar to physicians who care for children, but important to all of us. A baby dies, and the question of a sad, natural death weighed against a homicide and who caused the death becomes a quagmire of truth and lies inherent in the justice system assigned to determine guilt or innocence. Characters reflect personal attitudes and emotions, creating glimpses into their humanity as the baby's case winds its way through an all-too-real courtroom drama. The narrative of witnesses in the courtroom and tactics of attorneys brings the reader face-to-face with a startling reality: sometimes criminal cases are influenced by more than the 'truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."Robert W. Block, MD, FAAP, Professor Emeritus, PediatricsThe University of Oklahoma School of Community Medicine, Past president, American Academy of Pediatrics
