(點選圖片可預覽部份內容)


簡介
(Book Description from Google):
Significantly revised and updated, the new edition of this highly regarded reference on the shoulder continues to impress. A multitude of leading international authorities-30% new to this 4th edition-present today's most comprehensive, in-depth view of the current state of shoulder practice, all in a beautifully illustrated, full-color 2-volume masterwork. They deliver the most up-to-date coverage of shoulder function and dysfunction, along with practical approaches for patient evaluation and balanced discussions of treatment alternatives-open and arthroscopic, surgical and nonsurgical. Greatly expanded and visually enhanced coverage of arthroscopy, as well as many new chapters, provide expert guidance on the latest minimally invasive approaches. New "Critical Points" summary boxes highlight key technical tips and pearls, and two DVDs deliver new videos that demonstrate how to perform open and arthroscopic procedures. And now, as an Expert Consult title, this thoroughly updated 4th edition comes with access to the complete fully searchable contents online, as well as videos of arthroscopic procedures from the DVDs-enabling you to consult it rapidly from any computer with an Internet connection.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

很好A practical shoulder textbook
This is the second edition of "The Shoulder". A notable improvement from the first edition is the addition of a CD ROM which allows the reader to watch surgical techniques on a PC. The basic textbook itself is excellent. The chapters are well organized and well written. It covers a wide breadth of shoulder topics, and provides practical tips for making diagnoses and carrying out surgical procedures. It is a must for any surgeon who operates on the shoulder.

The Shoulder 好

Overall an excellent resource for the orthopaedic shoulder surgeon. The basic science is sound and review of the literature is generally thorough. The glaring failure of this book is its coverage of arthroscopic topics (or lack thereof). Clearly arthroscopic shoulder surgery has been revolutionary to the advancement of our understanding and treatment of the shoulder and although the primary author still considers it the "tool of the devil", arthroscopy is now KING when it comes to the shoulder. Hopefully the next edition of this fine textbook will include material and video from some of the current experts in the field of shoulder arthroscopy.

極好THE BEST BOOK ON SHOULDER PATHOLOGY WORLDWIDELY
I'm a Physical Therapist specialist and researcher on Frozen Shoulder Rehabilitation the last 20 years. I feel the need to thank all the great Proffessors of Orthopaedics and authors of this superb book that offered to me so extensive in -depth view descriptions on anatomy, pathology and treatment options on Shoulder disorders that I couldn't find in any other book on the field!!! The book helped me to advance my knowledges on Idiopathic Frozen Shoulder. The last years I offer functional rehabilitation to all my patients in the PHYSICAL THERAPY CENTER of NMY - IKA (Prefectural Health Unit) of the city of THESSALONIKI in less than 1 week with my new method called "SAKALI'S METHOD"! This book must be in every serious scientist's and researcher's library, not only for Orthopaedic surgeons but also for every high - level Physical Therapist specialist in Shoulder pathology. My review is in memorial of excellent Teacher, co - author of this great book "The Shoulder" and Proffessor of Orthopaedics in Washington University at Seattle, DOUGLAS T. HARRYMAN. Dear Proffessor, your spirit shall be in our mind of all of us, who are interesting in Shoulder pathology, forever!!!

Oh's intensive care manual



(點選圖片可預覽部份內容)


簡介
(Book Description from Google):
The sixth edition of Oh's Intensive Care Manual provides practical, concise information on all aspects of intensive care. Written in a clear and accessible style and now for the first time presented in colour throughout, this book enables the user to manage a patient in an ICU setting effectively without recourse to large text/reference works or specialized monographs.This thoroughly revised and updated edition reflects the best and most current practice from leading centres in Australia, the UK and Western Europe. Although primarily intended for the trainee and practitioner in intensive care, nurses and other allied health professionals will find that this is an invaluable tool in helping to deal with a broad spectrum of conditions encountered in the ICU.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:
極好Outstanding ICU text
When I asked intensivists to recommend a text prior to commencing my ICU rotation, this was the one they all recommended. Pros: - Clear, concise chapters on all important areas of intensive care medicine - Chapters are logically laid out, and information is easy to find - Represents as close to standard Australian/NZ/British consensus practice as you'll get in any book in this discipline - Multiple authors who are experts in their area; again means that you're not just following the practice of one or a few isolated authors - The balance of underlying pathophysiology discussion, as well as the actual management of conditions is just right for the ICU registrar. - Each chapter has an excellent list of references, which is great if you need more detail or are preparing for a talk/presentation on a topic - The book itself is of good paper quality, and won't deteriorate so easily with repeated use Cons - Although up to date at the time, the rapidly changing specialty means that you should be cautious with regard to some information being dated already or absent. This of course is a problem common to all medical texts. Perhaps an online updated sister site would be a good idea. - Interns/Residents would probably benefit from refreshing their basic physiology/pharmacology to get the most out of some topics

Customer Reviews from Amazon:
極好Compact and to the point.
This is a great tool for the oral boards. I read it three times in preparing. The cases are diverse with a third section which is good more for CAQ than for dx boards. It is chock full of great info and cases. Its also fairly cheap. Well worth the money.


極好 GREAT! GREAT!
A must have, can't do without! Well written, concise reviews of 200 different cases of central nervous system pathology. Images are top notch, discussions excellent and complete, questions for self-testing well thought out. Can't beat the price either!

極好It's good.
I've been looking for such a book both in USA and China for a long time, and now I find it. It's good for integrating the differentiate diagnosis. However, if there are more new MR techniques (DTI,PWI,etc.), it will be better.

極好Classic cardiovascular drugs book
This is a classic of cardiovascular medicine. In its newest edition Opie's book is excellent in many ways: first, it is a small book, almost a pocket-book, and loaded with concise yet precise infformation. It is the kind of book you can put in your black bag and you can belive it will be valuable anywhere, from the ICU to the ambulatory. There are many excellent chapters on drugs, all of them with an solid pharmacological basis, each chapter is an great review of the subject. But the best of this book is that it is very practical: it goes straight to the problems more commonly found in the cardiology office or in the ICU, with the big advantage of being small and portable. An must-have book for physicians intrested in cardiology and in cardiovascular drugs pharmacology, also excellent for residents. Hope we have an new edition of this great book soon!


極好 i couldnt resist buying my own copy!!!
I happened to see this book with a cardiology resident..owing to its sleek size he was carrying it in his pocket. Although the edition was 5th, i was so impressed with the chapters on beta blockers, ace inhibitors..Not only every chapter covers the basic pharmacokinetics and dynamics of each group in detail, but each drug has been considered individually as well. Add to it, the references to the clinical trials conducted, the book is indispensable. Especially the last chapter "which therapy for which condition", is a section for quick reviews before grand rounds. I made up my mind that very instant..this book is a MUST have!
