Abstract:
Diseases of Ear, Nose and Throat' by P. L. Dhingra gives specialized knowledge and understanding of various diseases related to ear, nose and throat, as the name suggests. Diseases in the ear, nose and throat or ENT (as it is abbreviated in medical linguistics) are a common phenomenon these days and this book is a good source of information on the same. The book proves to be very useful for doctors and medical students specializing in this area of medical science. The first edition of the book was published in 1992.
Preface:
With this sixth edition, the book completes 22 years of service to its readers. The speciality of ENT, often called otolaryngology or otorhinolaryngology has diversified into several subspecialities of otology, otoneurology, rhinology, laryngology, bronchoesophagology, paediatric otolaryngology, skull base surgery, and now emerging subspeciality of neuro-rhinology where the brain tumours related to skull base are being treated by endoscopic nasal approaches. The growth in several branches owe their emergence to rapid strides being made in technology such as imaging techniques from simple X-ray to CT, MRI, MR angiography, PET-CT and simultaneous PET-MRI. The development of endoscopes from 4 mm to nearly 1 mm with various viewing angles, lasers, computers and miniature cameras which can be fixed on the tip of the flexible endoscopes have further revolutionized surgery. This further has given birth to minimally invasive surgery, navigation surgery and robotic surgery. With the growth of the speciality both in breadth and depth, it throws several challenges to authors on how much to introduce the subject yet to be concise but comprehensive, and not to lose sight of the basic fundamentals and clinical applications to students entering medical profession in a readable form. In the present edition, all the chapters have been revised, updated and augmented. Some have been completely rewritten and expanded. New chapters have been added on thyroid disorders, thyroid surgery and proptosis. Several new diagrams, algorithms, tables, flowcharts and clinical photographs have been added to make the subject easily understandable. The chapter on “Nuggets for Rapid Review” provides useful tips which help solve several MCQs often set in the university or board examinations. Mnemonics set here and there are useful as aide memoire to recall and reproduce the subject for exam going students. The book is clinically oriented with practical approach to the patient as before and provides broad insight into the subject for undergraduates. It is hoped that this edition of the book will also prove useful to students of DLO, MS/MD and DNB (Diplomate National Board) as a foundation course before they take recourse to comprehensive volumes of the subject. It will also be useful to general practitioners, students of nursing, audiology and speech therapy, and to those studying alternative systems of medicine such as Ayurveda, Sidha, Unani and Tibbia, Homeopathy and Physiotherapy. The authors will feel gratified if the above objectives are fulfilled. There is always scope for improvement in any work and the authors will welcome any suggestions and comments from learned teachers and students at pldhingra@gmail.com or indiacontact@elsevier.com.
