Thieme Publishers, part of STM publisher Thieme Publishing Group, Germany, has announced that its book Surgical Treatment of Orthopedic Trauma has won the 2007 PSP Award for Excellence in the Clinical Medicine category. The publisher swept the category, also taking a second-place 'Honorable Mention' for 'The Legacy of Harvey Cushing: Profiles in Patient Care.'
'Surgical Treatment of Orthopedic Trauma,' by Dr. James P. Stannard, Dr. Andrew H. Schmidt, and Dr. Philip J. Kregor, provides up-to-date information on surgical treatments of a broad range of injuries, from complex pelvic and spinal trauma to periarticular fractures and knee dislocations. The book contains concise yet detailed surgical procedures, and is accompanied by four high-quality DVDs, with over 18 hours of narrated surgical videos.
Derived from Harvey Cushing's personal collection in the Brain Tumor Registry, 'The Legacy of Harvey Cushing: Profiles of Patient Care,' by Dr. Aaron A. Cohen-Gadol and Dr. Dennis D. Spencer comprises a historical account of Cushing's surgical cases and research from 1905 to 1930. The book showcases the extraordinary contribution that Cushing made to the advancement of neurological surgery in the twentieth century. The perfectly preserved material, which was housed at the Yale University Library for over 60 years, is the oldest catalog of neurological and neuropathological disease. In particular, the book features extraordinary photographs of patients which were painstakingly digitised from glass slides.
Each year, the PSP selects distinguished works in more than 30 disciplines in order to recognise publishers and authors who contribute pioneering works of research. Judged by peer publishers, librarians, and medical professionals, the PSP Awards recognise the very best in professional and scholarly publishing.
