Recent years have seen a revolution in the profile of stroke. Often thought of as an untreatable disease we now realize that not only can many strokes be prevented, but acute treatment can have a major impact on outcome. There has been great recent interest in thrombolysis and thrombectomy but other aspects of stroke care including organized stroke unit care, and effective secondary prevention and rehabilitation also have a major impact on outcome. Clinicians looking after stroke patients need rapid access to up-to-date practical information on how to look after stroke patients. This handbook of Stroke Medicine is aimed to provide a ready source of information for both stroke trainees and consultants. It covers diagnosis and investigation of the stroke patient, as well as treatment ranging from primary and secondary prevention, to acute care and rehabilitation. It also covers rarer causes of stroke and the increasing important area of vascular cognitive impairment. It is written to cover the syllabus of the UK stroke specialist training programme and other similar programmes worldwide

This dermatology handbook is written for core medical trainees, dermatology trainees, and dermatology consultants, but it includes much that will be of value to those working in the community and to medical students who want to know more about the skin. The focus is on medical management, rather than surgical dermatology, i.e. no surgical techniques/procedures. We provide a framework for analysing clinical signs, so that you can develop your diagnostic expertise, and a practical approach to management with answers to questions such as ‘What should I ask?’, ‘What should I look for?’, or ‘What should I do?’. The content has been thoroughly revised and updated with a new chapter on genodermatoses, as well as expanded chapters devoted to cutaneous tumours, cutaneous adverse drug reactions (including new chemotherapeutic agents), paediatrics (including paediatric vascular malformations), and rheumatology (new classification criteria for cutaneous lupus erythematosus). We discuss common or important conditions (and some fascinating rarities), including skin infections and infestations, inflammatory dermatoses (e.g. psoriasis, eczema, acne, urticaria), blistering diseases, oral and genital ulcers, skin tumours, vasculitis, lymphoedema, and leg ulcers. The section on emergency dermatology will help you to recognize and manage life-threatening problems such as angio-oedema, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and purpura fulminans. The chapters on skin problems in medical specialties should be of particular interest to trainees working in a variety of areas—we discuss the approach to skin conditions that you may encounter in paediatrics, rheumatology, haematology, nephrology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, respiratory medicine, obstetrics, geriatrics, neurology, and psychiatry.

The content provides information to help general nurses to draw on their personal and professional values, knowledge, and experience when making general practice decisions and organizing care. The handbook is designed to be a broad reference source, focused on the types of conditions that general adult nurses are most likely to come across in their everyday work, whether this is in hospital, hospice, or community locations. The handbook is arranged in four sections, each of which presents key facts related to professional nursing values, communication and interpersonal skills, nursing practice and decision-making, and leadership, management, and teamwork. Details of clinical procedures are not included, as these are expertly addressed in the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Skills in Adult Nursing. Part 1—Professional nursing values (Chapters 1–4)—outlines the values and statutory responsibilities underpinning all nursing practice, decision-making, and patient care. Part 2—Communication and interpersonal skills (Chapters 5–11)—discusses key features of empathetic communication in different nursing contexts. Part 3—Nursing practice and decision-making (Chapters 12–26)—provides key facts about health conditions in different body systems, along with potential investigations and treatment approaches. These chapters also highlight related nursing considerations, to stimulate and support thinking and decision-making in practice. Part 4—Nursing leadership, teamwork, and collectives (Chapters 27–31)—focuses on leadership, management, and teamwork, and the way nurses interact with each other, patients, and the public. Each chapter also lists useful sources of further information. The majority of these are online resources, in recognition of the way most people use information and communication technology in everyday nursing practice, education, and research. Other texts in the Oxford nursing handbook series provide a wide range of specialist texts to cover the detail of more specialized aspects of nursing practice, and reference to these are included throughout the text
