The forerunner to this book - Ryder, Mir & Freeman's 'An Aid to the MRCP Short Cases' - rapidly established itself as a classic and has sold over 30,000 copies. The new Progressive Assessment of Clinical Examination Skills (PACES) has replaced the old short case exam and, as a result, the authors have revised, reworked and extended their highly successful text so that it continues to address the study needs of candidates. This new revision aid is now presented in two volumes:.:.; An Aid to the MRCP PACES Volume 1: Stations 1, 3 and 5.; An Aid to the MRCP PACES Volume 2: Stations 2 and 4. This Volume covers Station 1 'Respiratory and Abdominal Systems', Station 3 'Cardiovascular and Neurological Systems' and Station 5 'Skin, Locomoter, Eyes and the Endocrine System'. The 200 cases have been written in accordance with the new examining and marking schemes used for the exam. They provide an invaluable training and revision aid for all candidates. more...

The first edition of An Aid to the MRCP Short Cases rapidly estabished itself as a classic and has sold over 25,000 copies. The aims of this revised and extended second edition are the same as those of the first: to provide a comprehensive guide for those preparing for the short cases section of the Membership of the Royal College of Physicians examination. The MRCP examination is a major hurdle for all trainee hospital physicians and has a failure rate of over 70%. The largest part of the book consists of 200 short cases that are presented in order of frequency of their occurrence in the examination (based on an extensive survey of successful candidates). The clinical features of each case are fully covered and supported by illustrations and photographs. The emphasis throughout the book is on examination technique and how to present the clinical information in the style that the examiners expect. In short, it is an indispensable guide for anyone preparing for this critical examination. more...

This is the third glaucoma consensus held under the auspices of the AIGS. It is anticipated that the discussions and conclusions from this consensus will impact care of patients with Angle Closure and Angle Closure Glaucoma significantly. As with the previous consensus meetings on Glaucoma Diagnosis and Open Angle Glaucoma Surgery, the consensus reports were developed over several months in an interactive internet system. The Consensus faculty, consisting of leading authorities on Angle Closure from throughout the world, met in Fort Lauderdale on May 3, 2006 to discuss the reports and refine the consensus points. Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness throughout Asia, and may be more common in European-derived populations than previously recognized. Even though Open-Angle Glaucoma is more common than primary Angle Closure Glaucoma, it has been estimated that nearly half of all glaucoma blindness is due to Angle Closure Glaucoma because it tends to be more severe. Further, an aging population should increase the number of individuals affected by Angle Closure Glaucoma. Clearly, strategies need to be articulated to face this challenge. There has been an explosion of research on Angle Closure and Angle Closure Glaucoma during the past two decades. Ultrasound biomicroscopy provided information about the angle that had been hidden from an observer using only a conventional slit lamp. This had lead to changes in our understanding about the mechanisms of disease as well as our approaches to disease management. Even the basic terminology used to discuss Angle Closure and Angle Closure Glaucoma has changed. Newer instruments, such as anterior segment OCT, now offer the promise of even more detailed assessment of the anterior chamber angle. Nevertheless, our current management of patients with Angle Closure Glaucoma remains similar to what it was decades ago, starting with iridotomy and performing additional surgeries as needed. Trying to determine bes more...
