Customer Reviews from Amazon:

極好2 volume set vs 1 volume version
ISBN 978-0702039416: Two volumet set. Volume 1 is probably the same as the single volume version (since it bears a separate ISBN identical to the single volume version). Volume 2 is 881 pages of references (claimed to be 35,000 in all), and references only. Volume 2 is kind of a waste: the paper is the same as volume 1, with identical marginal color codes. Large type face. The set is currently sold at USD 351. ISBN 9780702034855: single volume version, which is probably the same as volume 1 in the two-volume set. Currently sold at USD 315. Full access to the online materials (including references). So the extra 36 bucks of the two-volume set is for a thick volume of references. Want it or not, you decide. (By the way, the Odze book of Surgical Pathology of GI Tract .... also eliminates the references and leaves it all to the online database. )

極好The Bible of SkinPath
Improved from the last version. Much better paper, better photos, updated text. References are now in the second volume or on-line.

Smears and frozen sections in surgical neuropathology


簡介(Book Description from Barnes & Noble):
This 678-page book is a highly illustrated guide for the intraoperative interpretation of central nervous system surgical specimens. The two principal techniques—smear preparations and frozen sections—are described in great detail. Introductory chapters address general approaches to specimen acquisition and preparation; specific clinical and radiological features; differential diagnosis by site; tumor and nontumor entities with specific pathological features; and normal cells and tissues potentially mistaken for abnormalities. The bulk of the text describes specific clinicopathological entities, in over eighty chapters. Most of the latter present bulleted summaries of clinical and radiological features, similarly formatted sections on cytological (smear preparations) and histological (frozen sections) findings, and detailed differential diagnoses. There are over fifteen hundred illustrations covering the practical aspects of real-time, real-world cytological and histological diagnoses. Designed primarily for pathologists, it will be extremely useful for neurosurgeons as well, in their formulations of a differential diagnoses.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

極好Excellent point of use reference for neuropathology frozen sections
I bought this book to use as a reference text in our frozen section room, and it has proven to be an excellent quick resource for the occasional unusual CNS tumor. In particular the organization of the book in small, digestible segments makes it a relatively quick, but fully comprehensive read. One of the best points regarding the book is the close integration with radiographic features and cytology preparations in describing each tumor. I would highly recommend this purchase for any resident or pathologist who will be encountering neuropathology cases in their practice.

Perfect book for every health profession involved in movement disorders... Simple, clear and exhaustive at the same time. compared to the previous edition this version widely enrich the subject with the most frequent pathologies explained through a biomechanical approach.

極好For residency, better option than Rapini
I received this book today and obviously I haven't even finished a chapter. Skimming through the book shows that it is well organized and is a superior choice to Rapini which I always found insufficient and superficial, i.e. better suited for dermatology residents trying to deal with Dermpath. Busam's Dermpath volume offers better content for a pathology resident who will not likely go for Weedon's or one of those mammoth titles. Especially decent, so far, is the chapter on dermatitides which most pathology residents struggle with. I am starting a dermpath rotation this month and this should be of significant help.

This book is better than Rhoton neurosurgery. Eazy to identify location of nerve or other strucure.It's nice book.

European style (from american authors) neurosurgical book about cranial base surgical approaches (extremely detailed) which is very helpful for everyone. Must be complemented reading Rothon's temporal bone. Visual depiction is flawless, picture size is appropriate, not IMAX :) but those who have even minimal surgical experience will find it useful.

MRI for orthopaedic surgeons


簡介
(Book Description from Amazon):
Designed specifically for orthopedic surgeons involved in the review of musculoskeletal MRIs, this book enables clinicians to develop a systematic approach to the interpretation of MRI studies. It opens by providing clinicians with a solid understanding of essential concepts, including the physics of MRI, various pulse sequences available for obtaining an MRI, and normal MRI anatomy. The authors then present an overview of core concepts of image interpretation and step-by-step guidance on how to determine which pulse sequences have been utilized, how to evaluate images, and how to correlate imaging findings with patient history and clinical presentation. The remaining sections of the book present protocols for acquiring and interpreting MRIs of the upper extremity, lower extremity, and spine. Additional chapters cover special considerations for imaging articular cartilage and soft-tissue and bone tumors, as well as advanced techniques such as MR arthrography and MR angiography, correlation with other imaging modalities, and safety issues.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

極好Excellent resource
As a soon-to-be interventional pain fellow I need to be solid in my ability to read, understand, and interpret MRI imaging, especially of the spine. This book is providing that for me. I've just recently purchased it and have gone through a few chapters. It's easy to read and understand and is providing just the right amount of information. It nails down key points and common findings and simplifies the learning process in a step-like fashion. I like that the images are clear and that normal ones are compared to varying degrees of abnormal ones. It has definitely strengthened my ability to recognize MRI findings, especially the degenerative ones that are ubiquitous in the world of pain. I find that I pick up almost all, if not all, abnormalities that are written on the radiology report. I also like that I now understand when to use the different pulse sequences to help confirm different findings. Definitely an excellent resource and one that every pain doc or anyone who wants to have a better understanding of reading MRIs should be required to own. I'm really looking forward to going through the rest of the book.

極好Clinical Manual of Prevention in Mental Health
This book sythesizes the information from public health and mental health disciplines to provide guidance on preventive approaches in clinical psychiatry. It will appeal to a wide audience of mental health and behavioral science practitioners. However, it should also be reccommended reading for students and trainees. In this era of capitated health care, funders and policy makers will find it an exciting taster exercise on what to invest in now in order to save on costs in the future.
