This most comprehensive educational book on dizziness is special because it is devised as a collection of fascinating case description accumulated over many years by two internationally leading clinical neuro-otologists, Adolfo Bronstein and Diego Kaski, with their colleagues. 1) Dizziness is the second most common complaint of outpatients or in the emergency unit, not only in neurology and ENT departments. 2) Most syndromes can be correctly diagnosed on the basis of only a careful medical history and a thorough physical examination. 3) The majority of these cases have a benign cause, take a favorable natural course, and respond positively to therapy. The readability and the didactic value of the 36 cases are doubtlessly heightened by the chapter design. In combination with traditional textbooks, the casebook provides valuable new information for both beginners and experienced physicians who manage dizzy patients. It deserves widespread dissemination and success.

CASES IN CLINICAL MEDICINE CARDIOLOGY
This book is a case – based approach to some of the connon clinical problems and case scenarios in cardiology encountered by clinicians on a day-to-day basis. It is a multi-author work, with contributions from some of the most reowned clinicians ans academicians in the field of Cardiology. Each chapter begins with a case scenario, and goes on to discuss the diagnostic approach, Mamagement, and key learnings for the clinicians faced with a similar case. The most contemporary evidence is reviewed, and practical algorithms suggested wherever appropriate. We have endeavored to provide a balanced coverage of the vast fields of Cardiology, with topics including ischemic heart disease, general Cardiology, congenital, valvular and structural heart disease and arrhythmias. The selected cases cover exciting new interventional techniques like TAVR, precutaneous pulmonary valve replacement, and LA appendage closure replacement., as well as recent development in coronary physiology, robotics in intervention, imaging modalities like IVUS and OCT, cardiac MRI and advanced echocardiographic techniques like strain rate imaging. A separate section on Arrhythmias deals with some common, yet therapeutically challenging, rhythm disorders seen in clinical practice.

Puzzling Cases in Stroke Vol. 2
Stroke is a treatable medical emergency affecting about 15 million people every year worldwide. It is the most common cause of common cause of disability globally and is the third most common cause of death. In the present times, there are effective treatment options which if given timely will benefit the patients of stroke remarkably. Therefore, correct diagnosis of acute stroke is extremely important for the clinicians to provide appropriate treatments and to ensure prevention of acute complications, including recurrent strokes. But sometimes a typical or uncommon presentation of stroke or “stroke chameleons”can lead to diagnostic dilemma. Therefore, timely diagnosis and management may be delayed. There are time – tested strategies which when strictly followed by the Neurphysician can reduce the chances of missing the correct diagnosis. Firstly, “Listen very carefully to the patient. He is telling you the diagnosis.” Clinicians should suspect stroke when the history suggests abrupt onset of neurological symptoms. Remember, Stroke is a clinical diagnosis and imaging is providing the corroboratory evidence. Secondly, a complete and systematic neurological examination should be routinely done in patients presenting with acute neurological symptoms because this might shed light on the true nature of the problem. Finally, even the most sophisticated neuroimaging tests might miss the stroke in the early hours after the event.

Current Progress In Nephrology Volume 3
In the third volume of Current Progress in Nephrology, recent advances in different areas of kidney disease have been authored by eminent clinicians. The first few chapters discuss the genetics of renal development, regenerative medicine in relation to kidney, molecular diagnostics. Newer diagnostic modalities like functional magnetic resonance imaging, point of care ultrasonography and electron microscopy of organised deposits in kidney diseases are discussed in the subsequent 3 chapters. Diagnosing and managing difficult conditions of chronic kidney disease like, hepatorenal syndrome, pregnancy related renal problems, and scleroderma crisis are discussed in appropriate chapters. Anaemia, usually associated with CKD, is a significant cause of left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiovascular disease. The guidelines for correcting anaemia with iron supplementation and erythropoietin stimulating agents are provided in an appropriate chapter. Autosomal dominant rubulointerstitial kidney disease, a frequent cause of progressive CKD often remains an underdiagnosed condition and has been highlighted in one nice review. Understanding another a rare condition, thrombotic miocroangiopathy is important since it may lead to endstage renal disease or death, if not identified and appropriately treated in time.
