Handbook of Ophthalmology, 6e
The 6th edition of the book is being brought out with the sole objective of providing the students and practitioners of ophthalmology with easy to read and perceive material useful for them. While retaining the previous material new chapters have been added. Chapter on psychosomatic disorders has been added keeping in view that more and more stress-related pathologies are seen which simulate organic diseases. Lasers have been described to acquaint the reader with the latest therapeutic tool. A chapter on special investigations dealing with ultra-sound automatic perimetry ophthalmodynamometry and fluoresce in angiography has been added to keep in tune with the rising needs of investigative procedures and the newer tools available for such investigations. The chapter on ocular therapeutics has been revised and split into two separating the ophthalmic prescriptions to enable one to easily reference to them in day to day practice. Many newer therapeutic drugs have deliberately not been added because of their still not being established and too dangerous to use like cytotoxic and immunosuppressive drugs in the management of uveitis. The book has tried to keep clear of various aetiological clinical therapeutic and surgicalcontroversies.

Handbook of Fluid, Electrolyte and Acid–Base Balance
Handbook of Fluid, Electrolyte and Acid-Base Balance aims to present the fundamentals of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base disturbances, which may be present in most seriously ill patients coming to the emergency or in the wards or ICUs, The subject is presented in eight chapters following a simple and easily understandable format. The initial chapters discuss the subdivisions of body fluid compartments, distribution and chemical composition of various body fluids and their homeostasis under normal circumstances. The important chapter on the type of fluids available and guidelines for their use will help the clinician to choose the appropriate type of fluid for the correct indication, Subsequent chapters on electrolytes discuss the approach to diagnosis and management of the common abnormalities encountered in clinical practice. A clear understanding of the fundamentals is necessary for comprehending the apparently 'difficult' subject of acid-base disorders. The last chapter is devoted to this and is written in a simple narrative format, This should enable the reader to ? Understand the basic terms and investigations to assess the acid-base status, ? Identify a simple acid-base disorder ? Assess if the body's response to a given situation is appropriate or not ? Suspect double or multiple disorders in the same patient. Obviously, it is not possible to cover the vast subject in less than 100 pages. More serious disorders may be handled by the subject expert but the basic clinician should be able to assess the simple problems and also identify the more complicated ones for timely referral, The book will enable the reader to grasp the subject clearly and also serve as a handbook for quick reference, Doctors working in hospitals could then manage the simple clinical situations themselves well and refer more complicated cases to the expert, R KasiVisweswaran MD.
