Publishing, marketing, and information services company Data Trace Publishing Company, US, has announced that a sample chapter, including more than 50 full colour slides and photographs, from the podiatry textbook Principles and Practice of Podiatric Medicine, 2nd Edition, is now available for viewing online. The chapter 'Tumors of the Soft Tissue' focuses on neoplasms and non-neoplastic conditions as they occur in the lower extremity. The description of each condition reads like a separate journal article summarising both the lesion's frequency and its clinical features when it manifests in the soft tissue of the lower extremity.
Principles and Practice of Podiatric Medicine, 2nd Edition, is edited by Leonard A. Levy, of Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine and Vincent J. Hetherington, of Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine. The purpose of the book is to provide a comprehensive textbook for students, a ready reference for practitioners, and an aid to preparing for board examinations.
While over 30 percent of the text is dedicated to lower extremity surgery, the book also covers a wide array of topics, including foot and ankle disorders and injuries, pathology, behavioral medicine, and alternative treatments. With 55 detailed chapters presented by experts in their fields and over 1,400 illustrations and tables, Principles and Practice of Podiatric Medicine, 2nd Edition, is projected as a one stop resource on current podiatric medical practice.
