Handbook of Orthodontics

Apr 222013

Editorial Reviews

“The use of full colour throught makes it extremely attractive and the quality and quantity of information willl make it more than useful for anyone preparing for the MOrth or Master’s exams. Once upon a time, there was a book called enquire within on Everything- this handy volume comes very close as regards orthodonttics. I look forward to it becoming a standard.” Orthodontic Update, July 2010

”A substantial chapter (6) is devoted to describing the procedure for the aquasition of a comprehensive database for the formulation of an appropriate treatment plan. The timing aims and limiting factors of orthodontic treatment are debated in Chapter 7. Shown and described in Chapter 8 are the variety of tooth movements that can be achieved with removable appliances, either individually or on groups of teeth. The authors claim to have attempted to write a book that will appeal to students of orthodontics; I believe this they certainly have achieved. Stressed is the necessity of understanding of the basic sciences which includes a detailed description of craniofacial development, growth and disease.” Dr. Alex Jacobson

“Both a textbook and a work of reference, this 400-page paperback is accompanied by a substantial index (over 20 pages). This makes quick referral to any of the subjects included here very straightforward.”

BDA News, May 2011

Neurology/Neurosurgery No Responses »

Apr 222013

Editorial Reviews

This book will help neurologists, internists, geneticists, rehabilitation physicians, residents and researchers to orientate themselves in the maze of variability and complexity surrounding neuromuscular disorders. Starting from the patient’s history, each case addresses pathogenesis, diagnostic tools, prognosis and treatment options for a specific disorder, with extensive cross-linking between cases.

Book Description

There are over 600 neuromuscular disorders and the variability of these syndromes can leave clinicians feeling as if they are lost in a maze as they seek to diagnose and manage patients. This book addresses this problem by using the case-history and symptom manifestation as a starting point for the diagnostic process in adult patients, mimicking the situation in the consultation room. For each case, diagnostic tools, disease pathogenesis, prognosis and treatment options are discussed, along with rare manifestations and differential diagnoses. Symptoms, signs and syndromes are cross-linked to help the reader navigate the variety of disorders. Accompanying tables give a broader picture of the manifestations of a particular disease within the landscape of neuromuscular disorders. This highly-illustrated book, with accompanying videos, will aid neurologists at all levels, internists, geneticists, rehabilitation physicians and researchers in the field, as they seek to familiarize themselves with this complex range of disorders.

The Physics of Diagnostic Imaging Second Edition

Radiology No Responses »

Apr 212013

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

1. This book provides a highly readable and a comprehensive review of the basic physics and current technology for the diagnostic imaging modalities in radiology and nuclear medicine. Its thorough up-to-date coverage of all imaging modalities combined with an extremely well organized layout for introducing the various topics makes the text especially useful for radiology residents preparing for the ABR examination. The level of detail covered makes the book an essential reference volume for medical physics graduate students and medical physicists as well. All topics are covered in sufficient detail and depth to make it an extremely useful one to select for the primary text for the physics course on diagnostic imaging for radiology residents as well as the introductory course on the same topic for graduate students in medical physics.

2. As a committed user and fan of the first edition of this book, I awaited its updating in a second edition eagerly. Drs. Dowsett, Kenny and Johnston have not disappointed. Physics is not a topic that most trainees in diagnostic imaging find easy or interesting; learning and understanding relevant physics is often one of the more taxing and uninteresting chores on the route to becoming competent as a radiologist or radiologic technologist. The authors of The Physics of Diagnostic Imaging have succeeded in making their often abstruse subject interesting, relevant to clinical practice and understandable. Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 1998, I have considered it to be the best single-volume source for this subject available, and have recommended it to all our trainees. The second edition has comprehensively brought the content up to date, with new and expanded sections on multislice CT, modern MR imaging sequences and computers in readiology, with particular reference to digital imaging and PACS physics and technology. New developments in radiobiology are well covered, and all the basic material in the first edition has been updated. Niggling typographical errors in the first edition have been weeded out.

As with the first edition, I would strongly recommend this book to students in the field as their principal textbook and reference source. It will continue to be the recommended text on our training programme.

3. “This 2nd Edition of the textbook forms the core syllabus of our graduate and post-graduate programmes. It is well liked by both students and lecturers”.

Editorial Reviews

A unique feature of this book is its international flavour … European and American perspectives on technology, guidelines and regulation are discussed … This book is highly recommended

Physics in Medicine and Biology

very much a teaching book aimed at a student audience …. Comprehensively covers the various areas of medical imaging

The British Journal of Radiology

Book Description

Over recent years there has been a vast expansion in the variety of imaging techniques available, and developments in machine specifications continue apace. If radiologists and radiographers are to obtain optimal image quality while minimising exposure times, a good understanding of the fundamentals of the radiological science underpinning diagnostic imaging is essential.

The second edition of this well-received textbook continues to cover all technical aspects of diagnostic radiology, and remains an ideal companion during examination preparation and beyond. The content includes a review of basic science aspects of imaging, followed by a detailed explanation of radiological sciences, conventional x-ray image formation and other imaging techniques. The enormous technical advances in computed tomography, including multislice acquisition and 3D image reconstruction, digital imaging in the form of image plate and direct radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, colour flow imaging in ultrasound and positron radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine, are all considered here. A chapter devoted to computers in radiology considers advances in radiology information systems and computer applications in image storage and communication systems. The text concludes with a series of general topics relating to diagnostic imaging.

The content has been revised and updated throughout to ensure it remains in line with the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR) examination, while European and American perspectives on technology, guidelines and regulations ensure international relevance.

Medical Complications of Kidney Transplantation

Nephrology 2 Responses »

Apr 142013

With color illustrations throughout, this book analyzes the implications that transplantation and immunosuppression can hold for patients. Discussing the many complications that may occur after kidney transplantation, this source is a must for anyone caring for patients recovering from this type of procedure.

The book is elegant in design, with easy-to-read print and generous use of well laid out graphs, figures, and color illustrations. Especially useful are the numerous clear histopathology micrographs, which are placed proximal to their attendant text (although a few referenced arrows that were not present). Complex treatment algorithms are elucidated throughout the book with flow charts-an excellent feature.

This book provides an important addition to the armamentarium of renal transplantation. It is an extremely useful reference-good for all who participate in the care of renal transplant recipients. Indeed, considering the global reach of the complications of immunosuppression and renal dysfunction, it should be valuable for all involved in the transplantation of any organ.

Evidence-Based Gastroenterology and Hepatology

Gastroenterology/Hepatology No Responses »

Apr 132013

Review

“There is plenty of terrific material in this book. Each chapter provides information that can be used by busy clinicians to make decisions about their patients.” (Gastroenterological, 1 March 2011)

“A well written, easily consulted, updated textbook divided into 2 parts . . . written by experts from several countries. Its orientation is mainly to adult medicine.” (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews, 1 June 2011)

Book Description

The only evidence-based resource combining gastroenterology and hepatology, this major textbook critically appraises the evidence for diagnosis, screening, and treatment of gastrointestinal and hepatic diseases, and provides clear recommendations for management.

A unique feature is the grading of both the evidence (randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, or lower quality trials) and the treatment recommendations. This structure provides the reader with valuable guidance on implementation.

The third edition has been fully revised, providing the latest reviews of the evidence. It is also enhanced with new topics that have significant evidence for treatment, including;

Esinophilic esophagitis

Acute dysenteries

Prevention and treatment of travellers’ diarrhoea

Frequency of adverse drug effects on bowel function

Management of hepatitis B

Management of Hepatitis C

Vascular disorder of the liver

Non invasive diagnosis of liver fibrosis

Drug induced liver disease

This is an extremely useful resource for researching a particular medical problem or if there is a specific question regarding a medical issue that is not clear.

Integrative Medicine: Expert Consult Premium Edition – 3rd Edition by David Rakel

Internal Medicine No Responses »

Apr 102013

Review

“One of the more imaginative tools this book uses is an icon estimating the evidence base versus the potential harm of a proposed therapy — a quick intuitive warning for clinicians.

This is an extraordinarily valuable book on many levels. I have encountered patients with preconceived ideas of what supplements they wish to take, often in very high dosages. For those wishing to take an integrative approach, this book outlines the correct dosages, contraindications, and other considerations.

I highly recommend this book to every clinician who may be questioned by a patient interested in a specific therapy or who is considering adding these therapies.”- Vincent F Carr, DO, MSA, FACC, FACP(Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences) 5 Star Doody rating!

Most Helpful Customer Review
