Description

The 13th edition of Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology continues this bestselling title’s long tradition as the world’s foremost medical physiology textbook. Unlike other textbooks on this topic, this clear and comprehensive guide has a consistent, single-author voice and focuses on the content most relevant to clinical and pre-clinical students. The detailed but lucid text is complemented by didactic illustrations that summarize key concepts in physiology and pathophysiology.

Reviews

This is a great physiology textbook! I’m a little over 100 pages in and thought I would leave my thoughts and findings so far. The full online version of the book and resources are included for free! Sixteen video animations, multiple choice questions on each unit of the book, and 25 enhanced images where you can quickly hide the labels, quiz yourself, and then click to see the correct label are all part of the online version resources. There are no quizzes or questions at the end of each unit in the physical print edition (I think the Guyton and Hall Physiology Review 3e is geared toward this aspect). The general layout of the textbook is two columns of text per page with many figures and tables interwoven. The font of the text is clear and easy to read. The text guides you through the figures and explains them well as it is teaching the subject making for a far better learning experience than others where they just have a description underneath the figure (in this textbook there is also a very brief description under the figure but mainly is described in the main part as you are reading). There are mini bibliographies at the end of each unit allowing you to know where you might start to further dive into that topic and read some of the current research papers. Modern research and findings have been seamlessly incorporated. An index is included at the back of this book, but there is no glossary.

Description

Fields Virology is the authoritative reference book for virology, providing definitive coverage of all aspects of virology, including thorough coverage of virus biology as well as replication and medical aspects of specific virus families. With the regular outbreaks of influenza, noroviruses as well as other emerging and re-emerging viruses it is essential to have the most up-to-date information available.

Reviews

Fields’ Virology is a crucial resource for the virology community, and for physicians and medical students who treat infectious diseases. Fields’ remains the most trusted text book on human medical virology, and it had not been updated since the last edition was published in 2007. Modern biology moves fast. The advent of new technologies, such as massively parallel nucleic acid sequencing, not to mention discoveries in related fields such as molecular & cell biology and immunology, which have both led to and been cross-pollenated by progress in virology, have resulted in huge advances. Not to mention that virologists carrying o “classical” approaches from the 1990’s have also made some illuminating findings since 2007. As such, six years is an eternity, so the 6th Edition was eagerly anticipated, and long overdue. The book comes in two volumes and covers basic science of viral replication, the clinical aspects of how viruses cause disease, and the epidemiology to explain how these pathogens spread through populations. The first volume includes chapters with general information on topics such as the history of virology, vaccines, antiviral drugs, the innate immune system, how viruses enter cells, and so on. In the later part of the first volume and all of the second, the specific biology of the major families of viruses that cause disease in humans are covered.

[PDF] First Aid for the Emergency Medicine Boards Third Edition 3rd Edition (2016) by Barbara K. Blok

  • Authors: Barbara K. Blok

Description

First Aid for the Emergency Medicine Boards presents time-strapped emergency medicine residents and re-certifying physicians with a concise resource presenting quick, frequently tested, high-yield facts based on the most recent content outlines for the in-service and board exams. It is a complete review of emergency medicine topics tested on the written board exam.

Reviews

It’s colorful, has a lot of graphics and bubbles and such, but these feel just distracting. For the EM boards, you’re reviewing things you’ve (hopefully) learned over several years of residency, and if you’re like me, are looking for a no-frills, high-yield only book. There was a lot of space wasted on explaining very basic concepts, and I felt a lot of information was left out in the process. I instead went with the AAEM book and never looked back.

Description

Immunophenotyping is the most powerful tool in the routine diagnosis of hematologic neoplasms. Immunohistochemical technique is used in histology labs for this purpose, while flow cytometry is used in clinical labs. While separately these 2 techniques are very useful in detecting lymphomas and leukemias, the combination of both creates a very powerful and definitive diagnostic tool. The addition of molecular genetics to the book will make it an all-encompassing reference text.

Reviews

Many interesting cases are highlighted and very precise as well as concise interdiscussion of cases been compiled..is good for a beginner as as a hematopathologist

Unique perspectives from a team of trusted, world-renowned experts ensure this medical reference book remains the most highly-regarded text in the field.

Reviews

There is a huge volume of material covered in this book which goes to an impressive depth but at the same time should not overwhelm the clinician either wanting to use this as a reference source or to help with the direct management of a patient. Being a substantial reference book, it is easy to dip in and read around a topic which hopefully will result in improved knowledge for the reader. Reviewed by glycosmedia.com, May 2015

Description

Prepare your graduate students for their careers in audiology with Katz’s Handbook of Clinical Audiology, Seventh Edition. This go-to resource was developed by an unsurpassed team of editors and authors, whose expertise in research and clinical practice spans all core areas of clinical audiology.

Reviews

I find myself using the book more than any other text when I need information on an audiology topic. The entire book is meticulously edited: I may have found 1 typo in over 300 pages read. The chapters are written by leading experts on that topic. Not every audiology topic is covered, or with the same amount of detail. There is definitely a bias towards diagnostic rather than treatment and rehabilitative information. But for what it does cover, it covers in good detail and with authority. For the topics it doesn’t cover, there are other good texts to read. The prose in the vast majority of chapters is incredible readable, which is perhaps surprising for this type of reference book. There are lots of good figures, tables, diagrams, etc.
