It addresses budding but struggling academics in low and middle-income countries. It is written mainly by senior colleagues who have experienced and recognized the challenges with design, documentation, and publication of health research in the developing world.

It covers important concepts such as writing a paper, the submission process, dealing with rejection and revisions, and covers additional topics such as planning lectures and presentations.

For every story of optimism about the growth of medical tourism to India, there are multiple others about medical neglect. Scratch the surface and you find a thick layer of corruption in this life-sustaining sector. This hard-hitting volume shows a mirror to society and, more specifically, to those associated with the health sector—on how healers, in many cases, are shifting shape to becoming predators. In the essays by contributors from within and outside the medical fraternity, we see the many faces, the many facets of corruption—from exorbitant billing by corporate hospitals to the non-merit-based selection in medical colleges to questionable motives playing strong in the area of organ transplantation. But Healers or Predators? is not only about the illness affecting the sector. It also offers solutions, and some stories of hope. The Foreword by Amartya Sen is an added bonus. ‘This splendid, if depressing, book will do a lot to remedy [the] momentous neglect [of healthcare]. We have excellent reasons to be grateful to the authors and editors of this important collection of investigative studies.’—Amartya Sen

Minimal access technology has experienced an accelerated growth since its introduction into the field of diagnostic and therapeutic surgery over two decades ago. The progressive amalgamation of science and technology has lead to its ever-increasing applications in general surgery for increasingly complex procedures. Although sufficient educational material is available on minimal access surgery as textbooks and graphic atlases, here a ready reference guide in the form of surgical updates comes in handy to stay abreast with what’s new. This edition of minimal access surgery in gastrointestinal diseases is a conscientious effort by its dedicated contributors, some of the most capable persons in the field of minimal access gastrointestinal surgery. The contents of this ECAB series include topics which involve a degree of controversy and therefore are likely to be of immense help to surgical residents and practicing surgeons facing such dilemmas. The collective wisdom of these specialists is intended to yield safe and improved outcomes in the concerned patient.
