Book Description:


Urodynamics 3rd edition takes into account the technological innovations and new techniques that have been introduced since the publication of the 2nd edition in 1997. A simple yet practical guide to the functional investigation of patients with incontinence and voiding disturbances, the text makes clear the fundamental and vital contribution of urodynamic investigation to the management of patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction.

The new terminology from the International Continence Society has been introduced, references fully updated and standardization reports in the Appendix completely revised. Urodynamics is now widely accepted and most hospitals now recognise it as an essential part of the diagnostic process in urology and gynecology. Specialists in geriatrics, pediatrics and neurology also appreciate the importance of urodynamics in the investigation of a large number of their patients.

Book Description:

Liposuction began as a contouring procedure but has evolved into the treatment of obese patients, gynecomastia, ptosis, macromastia, and even patients who have complications from heart disease or diabetes. Other disorders such as axillary sweat hypersecretion, lipomas, and angiomas are also potential disorders that may be treated with liposuction. Physicians performing liposuction must be adequately trained and experienced in the potential and actual complications before attempting to perform liposuction. Patient safety is the most important aspect of all surgeries, but especially of cosmetic surgery, which is an elective procedure. New technology helps improve results but experience, care, and skill of the cosmetic surgeon is necessary to obtain optimal results that satisfy the patient. The contributors to this book have spent time and effort presenting the cosmetic and plastic surgeon as much information as possible on the techniques and uses of liposuction for cosmetic and non-cosmetic surgery purposes.

Book Description:


Recent research and clinical work have demonstrated that the rapid urologic innovation in minimally invasive treatment is creating exciting new horizons in endourology. This sixth volume in the series Recent Advances in Endourology brings that knowledge to a wider audience, focusing on the new concept of endourooncology, which is the merging of endourology and oncology. In the surgical treatment of urologic malignancies, bipolarization - that is, radical extended resection or organ-sparing surgery - is making remarkable advances. Further developments in sophisticated reconstructive surgery using robotic systems and image-guided ablation technology will allow surgeons to formulate minimally invasive, tailor-made procedures for each patient with urologic cancer. In this book, the current status and future prospects of these new technologies are reviewed, illuminating their roles in the future of endourooncology.

Book Description:

Theoretical immunology is the application of mathematical modeling to diverse aspects of immunology. Immunoinformatics, the application of computational informatics to the study of immunological macromolecules, addresses questions in immunobiology and vaccinology, as well as addressing issues of data management, and can design and implement new experimental strategies. Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) uses ideas and concepts from immunology to guide and inspire new algorithms, data structures, and software development.
These three different disciplines are now poised to engineer a paradigm shift from hypothesis- to data-driven research, with new understanding emerging from the analysis of complex datasets: theoretical immunology, immunoinformatics, and Artificial Immune Systems (AIS). "in silico Immunology" will summarize these emergent disciplines and will address the issue of synergy as it shows how these three are set to transform immunological science and the future of health care.

Book Description:
This third edition of Magnetic Resonance of Myelination and Myelin Disorders is considered the worldwide standard text in the field of white matter disorders. No other book covers the field so thoroughly. The 109 chapters extensively detail the myelin disorders known today, from clinical and laboratory data to pathology, chemical pathology, pathogenetic considerations, and therapy as well as magnetic resonance findings. Each new edition has doubled in size to accommodate the immense progress made in the technical features of magnetic resonance as well as the new knowledge in genetic defects, biochemical abnormalities, and cellular processes underlying myelin disorders. Most chapters in this new, updated edition have been entirely rewritten. Forty chapters have been added to include many new disorders now recognized as myelin disorders and to provide broader coverage of both hereditary and acquired myelin disorders in the adult population. A vast collection of nearly 4,000 images fully illustrating the subject matter has been gathered for this new edition. Not only are the typical MRI patterns of the diseases described, but, with recently available genetic confirmation, MRI phenotypic variation is also elucidated, best illustrated in the chapters on Alexander disease. The chapter on congenital muscular dystrophies clearly exemplifies the improved insight into disease classification based on the growing knowledge of related genes and how this is reflected in MRI patterns. This book is a valuable source of information for neurologists, pediatric neurologists, neuroradiologists, pediatricians, and geneticists. It belongs in the library of every radiology and neurology department.

Menopause is a biological reality for all women in their forties and fifties. Yet the way we think about the cessation of menstruation is influenced by a variety of factors. Cultural and technological influences combine with biology to transform this universal phenomenon into an experience that varies considerably between cultures and individuals.
In this concise textbook, Lynnette Leidy Sievert draws on her own case studies from Puebla, Mexico, and western Massachusetts, as well as on comparative data from other studies in places such as Slovenia, Paraguay, and Hawaii to explore the different ways that women experience menopause around the world. Sievert suggests that attempts by medical professionals to define the "normal" occurrence of menopause, including its typical onset and symptoms, may not be realistic when considering how lifestyle, nutrition, and workload can contribute to diverging realities. She explores how women feel about interventions such as hysterectomies, chemotherapy, and other medical procedures and treatments that stop menstruation prematurely. Chapters also consider recent advances in technology, including post-menopausal birth, which have turned what was previously an unavoidable end of fertility into something that can be postponed.
A unique comparative look at women's experiences, this text brings new perspectives to the mainstream literature on the subject and invites readers to consider compelling questions about menopause, its meanings, and its future. A theme book in the Studies in Medical Anthropology series, edited by Alan Harwood.

Review:
if you work for hematology, must buy!
If you work for hematology, this book is so nice to learn the basic line. I think the way of learning the basic line is the most important part for the medical students and residents. Of course, you must learn the latest things more with the internet. Sometimes this book is not enough for you, but with internet, it is quite enough.

ISBN / ASIN: 0871207192
EAN: 9780871207197
Binding: Paperback
Book Description:

After the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, many people questioned why no one had anticipated the terrorists' acts, even when events and intelligence seemed to point toward them. John Barell wonders if the attacks speak to a greater societal problem of complacency. He believes many students have become too passive in their learning, accepting information and "facts" as presented in textbooks, classes, and the media. Drawing on anecdotes from educators and his own life, Barell describes practical strategies to spur students' ability and willingness to pose and answer their own questions. Antarctica expeditions, outer space discoveries, dinosaur fossils, literature, and more help define the importance of developing an inquisitive mind, using such practices as

* Maintaining journals on field trips,

* Using questioning frames and models when reading texts,

* Engaging in critical thinking and problem-based learning, and

* Integrating inquiry into curriculum development and the classroom culture. To become habits of mind, students' daily curiosities must be nurtured and supported. Barell draws a vivid map to guide readers to "an intelligent revolution" in which schools can become places where educators and students imagine and work together to become active citizens in their society.

Book Description: )

For a long time, forefoot surgery had many disadvantages including a painful postoperative period and recurrence of deformities. New techniques – notably Scarf, the first metatarsal osteotomy and the Weil osteotomy of the lesser metatarsal – provide a significant improvement in the treatment of static forefoot disorders. The great toe osteotomy has also been greatly improved. Since 1991, the author has introduced these techniques in many countries, while developing and studying the corresponding implants and the postoperative period. He has also developed surgical management techniques that bridge these different osteotomies. More than 1000 surgeons around the world are using these techniques, which are now widely taught. In this second edition of the book the general presentation is clearer and more pleasant and many pictures have been replaced. Several topics are emphasized, notably the great toe proximal phalanx osteotomy, the joint preservative surgery in severe forefoot disorders, including revision after failed bunionectomy and rheumatoid forefoot following the “ms” point for an accurate and effective metatarsal shortening. Lastly, new procedures are exposed, particularly in Claw toe and hammer with the PIP plantar release and the surgery of the middle phalanx and also the Weil osteotomy of the first metatarsal in hallux limitus. A new CD is included which focuses on the pictures, drawings and AVI in 2 or 3D that are now available copyright-free, so as to bring significant help for the surgeon’s scientific works.

Clinical decisions in modern medical practice are increasingly influenced by ethical and legal issues, but few doctors have been formally trained in medical law and ethics, and are unsure of potential sources of accessible information, which leaves them exposed to public criticism and the threat of legal action. Perioperative medicine and critical care are, by their very nature, subjects in which issues of autonomy, dignity, consent, confidentiality, medical research, life and death decision making, and the rationing of health care resources are ever-present. This book provides a straightforward but comprehensive one-stop reference and should be essential reading for all medical and allied health care professionals who encounter ethicolegal problems during their management of patients.

There is increasing ethnic diversity in our society posing challenges for health professionals and health care. Existing texts on ethnicity and health are often esoteric and academic in focus, accessible to researchers and policy analysts rather than health practitioners. Other texts consider a single health topic or cultural group. Ethnicity, Health and Primary Care is a new book, intended as a broad but concise and practical introduction to ethnicity and health care for a wide range of health professionals - general practitioners, GP registrars, practice and community nurses, bilingual workers, medical students and other health practitioners in training. Although focusing on primary care, the book's general principles and its clinical coverage will be highly relevant to other health and social care practitioners, in addition to those developing and commissioning health services. Chapters have been written to enable busy practitioners and students to grasp the essentials quickly and easily. The book aims to stimulate readers to learn about and develop an effective approach to ethnic diversity in health care. Rather than be an encyclopaedia of different ethnic groups and cultural practices, this book emphasises the need for practitioners to respond to people as individuals within a broader understanding of the diverse needs of communities. It thus promotes generic principles for good practice wherever diversity has an impact. Having underlined these principles the book considers major clinical topics and groups arguably of particular concern for the health of diverse ethnic communities in the UK.

Cognitive deficits are part of the normal aging process and are exacerbated by various diseases that affect adults in old age, such as dementia, depression, and stroke. A significant scientific and social effort has been expended to evaluate whether cognitive deficits can be remedied through systematic interventions. The editors, as well as the chapter authors, represent a variety of viewpoints that span theory as well as practice. Overall, they aim to address concepts in cognitive rehabilitation that are useful in intervention research -- research which examines problems and issues in normal and pathological aging -- and focusing on the application of cognitive training strategies in natural settings. Thus, the book is grounded in contemporary theory in cognitive aging and is applicable to both the practicing clinician as well as the researcher. It is organized into four sections. The first highlights prominent theoretical principles; the second looks at cognitive rehabilitation strategies in normal aging; the third examines the interplay between lifestyle patterns and cognitive function through applying a broad definition of lifestyle choices; and the fourth focuses on rehabilitation strategies that address issues in pathological (or diseased) aging.

Principles of Molecular Pathology

Principles of Molecular Pathology


This is a very nice, concise review of the field of molecular pathology, a field that is still considered "new" because it requires training in several fields, including pathology, molecular methods, genetics, infectious disease, and tumor biology. The book provides readers with all of the relevant background in the first chapters so that specialists and nonspecialists alike can understand the later chapters. It can be read from cover to cover or used as a reference text on an "as-needed" basis. Considering the diversity of molecular pathology, the book is relatively short, 333 pages, but it provides a comprehensive review of the field. I particularly liked how each chapter highlighted all of the salient points of the subject material and then went on to illustrate many of the exceptions.

The book comprises 11 chapters. The first four are introductory chapters, including "Basic Concepts", "Genetic Inheritance", "Mutation", and "Inherited Disorders". They start with the structure of DNA and move on to gene structure and expression. Chapter 2 describes the basic forms of Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance, multifactorial disease, Bayesian risk calculation, and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Chapter 3 describes all forms of mutation and provides examples ranging from simple point mutations to more complex chromosomal rearrangements. The next chapter describes all types of molecular methods from Southern blot analysis to microarray technology. This comprehensive chapter would further benefit from more discussion of comparative genome hybridization and microarrays in future editions. Two other points that could be added are the use of LightCycler for quantitative analyses in addition to TaqMan and denaturing HPLC as a scanning method. It would also be beneficial to include the sensitivity of detection for each of the scanning methods to future editions of the book. Of course, by then, some of these will be pass and other techniques will take the forefront as novel techniques.

Chapter 5 describes various inherited disorders that are now tested for in molecular pathology laboratories as well as genetics laboratories, including classic diseases such as cystic fibrosis and hemochromatosis. Mitochondrial diseases and disorders tested in newborn-screening laboratories are also covered. Chapters 6 and 7 describe the classification of tumor genes and the known familial cancer syndromes. Chapter 8 provides an extensive discussion of the rapidly evolving field of the molecular bases of hematologic malignancies. Certainly, in the next edition of this book this chapter will look very different, but as it stands, it gives a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge governing rearrangements in leukemias and lymphomas. Chapter 9 covers the field of pharmacogenetics, which will also likely be very different in the very near future. Chapter 10 gives a nice overview of identity testing and its use in the laboratory, and lastly, chapter 11 provides a review of molecular techniques and interpretation of results from human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C virus testing. Both of these tests have multiple means for detection, and this final chapter nicely outlines the information gained from each type of test when used clinically.

In conclusion, this book would make a welcome and timely addition to laboratory libraries because it covers a wide field in an easy-to-read manner. It is also a useful text for those studying for Board exams because all of the major topics that come to mind are nicely covered. Several other texts relating to molecular pathology read more like laboratory manuals, but Dr. Killeens book covers much of the background necessary to understand the topic in addition to the overview of the molecular methods. The book also provides web site addresses that contain important, more comprehensive information for the reader who desires to learn more, as well as the latest professional guidelines addressing testing and reporting/use of information. These inclusions alone provide a great service to and an excellent reference for molecular pathologists.

For a surgical practicing pathologist like myself, born before the 1970s, the book Principles of Molecular Pathology is an illuminating guide to understanding the powerful tools of molecular biology and how these tools can be used in the practice of pathology.

When I started to extract RNA from tissue a few years ago, a colleague told me that molecular biology is not like cooking. We do not see any of the materials during the process, but, at the end, the tangible results are there, striking, having appeared from an invisible world. I found myself confronted with a poignant contradiction: I had chosen pathology as my career because the disease was visible; and with a lot of confidence (if not happiness) I could, in most cases, live with a peaceful mind even in the face of having made a dreadful diagnosis. The microscopic features of diseases were the symptoms and signs of a patient's disease leading to a well-defined diagnosis. Nowadays, those signature features can be invisiblemolecular. Cancer can be characterized and is beginning to be understood at the molecular level. The transition from cellular to molecular in the pathologist's practice was needed. Principles of Molecular Pathology clearly testifies for the first time to the values and broad applications of molecular pathology in medicine.

The book of fewer than 350 pages is so well written that a less molecularly oriented pathologist can read the entire text within only 30 hours. The book is small (half an A4 format) and compact with a font and an overall layout of text and essential schematics that make it a pleasure to peruse. One of its best features is an extremely lucid text, without repetition. The text covers topics chosen to provide a broad overview of the subject. Concise basic concepts of molecular biology and genetics are followed by an accurate description of the most commonly and currently used analytic methods. One chapter explains the acquired genetic abnormalities that underlie inherited disorders. Two essential chapters describe, masterfully, the important genetic determinants of human malignancies, acquired and hereditary. These 2 chapters are beautifully crafted and provide the reader with lasting enlightenment. One entire chapter is dedicated to the molecular understanding of myeloid and lymphoid malignancies, which reads like a police novel by pathologists who excel in the morphologic and immunologic diagnosis of hematologic disorders. Chapters on pharmacogenetics and identity testing emphasize the current importance and futuristic implications of these areas in clinical practice. Finally, the current application of molecular methods is described in the detection of a few major bacterial and viral infections.

This is a wonderful and unique book that should be purchased by a wide readership, including residents and fellows in laboratory medicine and pathology, practicing pathologists desiring to easily understand the current transition of their practice, and specialized research pathologists interested in broadening their general knowledge in the powerful tool of molecular pathology
