This classic text is much beloved by medical students and physicians-in-training throughout the English-speaking world, as its many editions indicate. It is chock full of the pearls of clinical wisdom that students and practitioners treasure, and many of these lessons apply to medicine in general. The book was well characterized by a reviewer of an earlier edition for The New England Journal of Medicine: ‘If only one book about surgery could be made available to physicians from all specialties, it should probably be Silen’s recent revision of Cope’s Early Diagnosis of the Acute Abdomen. Since the book first appeared, it has remained the classic treatise on the initial approach to abdominal pain.’ Because acute, severe abdominal pain is still a common problem whose misdiagnosis can result in quick death, each generation of beginning physicians is faced with the urgency of learning to make a diagnosis in this high-anxiety situation, and they appreciate the wise, humane, precisely detailed guidance offered by Cope and Silen. For the 22nd Edition, Dr. Silen has again updated the text in a respectful but significant way. He has added a chapter on the increasing disorder of diverticulitis, reexamines the use of analgesics, emphasizes the costs of over-testing, and updates all recommendations regarding trauma, radiologic studies, and therapeutic recommendations.

Puzzling Cases in Pancreatic Diseases
₹675.00Pancreatology, as a discipline, has not been in focus for long has become a vanishing specialty for a variety of reasons. As a consequence, pancreatologists face several issues despite the ongoing their e orts in managing their practice and maintaining their identity in the fraternity. e changes in medical practice in many parts of the world have led to a shift of responsibilities, away from the surgeon and towards the gastroenterologist. e latter may not be equipped with su cient resources to acquire the knowledge. While the mainstream issues in pancreatology are taught at various levels and conferences, as well as guidelines, the remaining is mostly left to the experts, not to say connoisseurs. A selection of such experts from around the globe have contributed to this book with very special cases and exemplifying problems in the form of case reports for better application and understanding of the same in clinical practice. Medical journals in the hunt for their respective impact factors have stopped publishing case reports as these cannot be cited, therefore other channels become imperative to impart this knowledge to the medical community. Puzzling Cases in Pancreatic Diseases is a logical initiative in this direction. A good deal can be learned from these case reports that are professionally presented and discussed.
