In una statistica comparsa qualche anno fa su un autorevole giornale di cardiologia sperimentale, il numero di errori di ortografia e sintassi nei manoscritti sottomessi per pubblicazione veniva messo a confronto per i vari paesi. Chi c’era in testa alla classifica per frequenza di errori (e in coda alla classifica della frequenza di accettazione)? C’eravamo noi, i cardiologi italiani. Modestia a parte, ci riconoscono ovunque per il nostro marchio di fabbrica lessicale, lo “spaghetti-English”. Un buon inglese non aiuta forse a farsi accettare il lavoro, ma un cattivo inglese di certo aiuta a farselo rifiutare. Il libro ci aiuta a cancellare qualche macchia di pomodoro nel nostro spaghetti-Cardio-English, e già questo sarà un ottimo risultato per il lettore." (dalla presentazione di Eugenio Picano)

The book is an introductory book to radiological English on the basis that there are a lot of radiologists, radiology residents, radiology nurses, radiology students, and radiographers worldwide whose English level is indeterminate because their reading skills are much higher than their fluency. It is intended to help those health care professionals who need English for their work but do not speak English on a day-to-day basis.

Primary Care English is the expansion of Medical English to reach the extensive geography of primary care. It aims to be a tool to achieve a certain level to dare to practice as a family physician or participate in learning or research activities in English within the primary care setting. The reader would be expected to have at least an intermediate level of English. The text is simplified where necessary in order to keep within reach. The language of the consultation will be central to this book and its contents modulated according to real clinical practice.

English is not your mother tongue? This enjoyable book offers everything you need to cope with everyday situations as a resident in English-speaking countries, at scientific meetings or just to stay up to date with medical advances. Each chapter starts with a cartoon.

Dealing with project work, this is one of a series of practical guides for teachers which examine pedagogical areas at the centre of ELT debate. Teachers are provided with ideas designed to help them develop their own material and tailor it to their individual needs.

Complete teaching file with selected references from web, articles and books on Musculoskeletal Radiology in just 250 pages Learning Imaging is a unique case-based series for those in professional education in general and for physicians in particular Includes supplementary material: sn. pub/extras

Surgeons around the world need a basic knowledge of English to keep up to date with advances in their field. Fluency in surgical English is important for your professional development, enabling you to attend English-speaking patients with confidence, to study (or work) in other hospitals, speak confidently at international meetings, and to write articles for international journals. This book will provide you with the basic tools to handle day-to-day situations without stress and will help you to improve your English, no matter what your level. To our knowledge, this is the first English book written specifically by surgeons for surgeons. We are sure that surgical specialists from all over the "non-English-speaking world" (general surgeons, thoracic surgeons, vascular surgeons, neurosurgeons, gynecologists, plastic surgeons) will enjoy reading it.

This book is an introduction to cardiac imaging. Written by radiologists, cardiologists, and nuclear medicine physicians in a user-friendly format, it provides the reader with a multidisciplinary selection of the most prevalent cardiac conditions. The book is subdivided into four sections: Cardiac Multislice CT, Echocardiography, Cardiac Magnetic Resonance and Nuclear Cardiology. Each chapter is presented with an introduction to the subspecialty and a selection of cases with illustrations, comments from clinical and radiological standpoints, and bibliographical recommendations.

Biomedical scientists are the most likely health care professionals to actually move to an English-speaking country to continue professional training and career-development. This book should help to apply for jobs, write résumés, face job interviews and settle into a new working environment in English. The practical approach of the units will boost the readers' self-confidence in their own English-capabilities. This book should help reducing the anticipated stress of having to learn important matters directly „on the job“, and secure more efficient and productive communication from the start.

In my ? rst days as a Radiology resident I remember myself in dire need of a book in which I could begin to study the specialty. In those days I was thirsty for radiolo- cal knowledge and was recommended a classic manual on conventional chest X-ray which was the very same the oldest radiologist of the staff had studied when he was a beginner. Unfortunately the book I was recommended covered less than 5% of the specialty as it is conceived nowadays. “Learning Diagnostic Imaging. A Teaching File” is intended to provide medical students, residents of Radiology, and anybody else beginning to be involved in the radiological world, with a useful tool that gives them a quick and comprehensive overview of Radiology. With this book, written in a user-friendly format, Radiology residents, nurses, technicians, and medical students would see their ? rst radiolo- cal images in a sort of introduction of what will become their professional activities in the rest of their lives.
