“This comprehensive book on pediatric obesity includes novel topics such as the effect of maternal obesity on children (before and after birth) and the relationship between sleep (short sleep duration and sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea) and obesity. … The book is designed for practicing endocrinologists, general pediatricians, bariatric medicine physicians, and nutritionists who manage or would like to manage pediatric obesity. It also could be of some interest to bariatric medicine providers involved in teaching.” (Silvana Pannain, Doody’s Book Reviews, December, 2010)

Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with “on the go,” at a highly affordable price that puts them within reach of those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment. Common investigations (ECG, imaging, etc) Clinical skills (patient examination, etc.) Clinical specialties that students perceive as too small to merit a textbook (psychiatry, renal medicine) Key Points Practical, accessible guide to examining the patient, which remains the bedrock of diagnosis and clinical evaluation Consistent chapter organisation: each body system chapter starts with relevant basic science, then highlights key signs before summarising examination technique Lavishly illustrated with clinical photographs, summary tables and tips boxes
I recommend it to anyone who would like to expand their knowledge about pediatric imaging and pathology
Heart failure is an important and ever expanding sub-speciality of cardiology. Many health care professional bodies are now developing specialist expertise in heart failure. This is true for cardiologists in training, consultant cardiologists, care of the elderly and general physicians, cardiothoracic surgeons, primary care doctors, pharmacists and specialist nurses.
This is a great little book for a whistle stop explanation of various different topics involved in medical science. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone revising for exams. However, if you need a quick introductory explanation to a topic that will give you a general idea of the topic before doing inept reading it’s not a bad option.

These cards are presented well, organized nicely, and color coded. These are great for a quick reference but they lack the detail needed for my pathopharm class. If I want to know very basic information they’re fine but I almost always have to do more research. Another downfall is that they group several drugs from the same class on to a single card….there is no differentiation between these drugs, their adverse affects, nursing considerations, etc.

This book is a basic nursing school textbook. Lots of helpful illustrations, nursing interventions, and other tables and charts. I wish this book had a glossary for quick reference to terms. The section on respiratory interventions, mechanical ventilation, airway management is hard to follow and many of the explanations seem identical to other terms and ventilation modes.
