Dementia beyond drugs

簡介(Book Description from Amazon)：

This is an excellent source of information about the use of drugs for anyone who has dementia. One of the big points​ he makes is that what we as caregivers often interprete as disruptive behavior is actually an expression of one or more needs that he or she has. The book gives good information for people caring for a loved one in their home or caregivers in a care center​.
I would recommend the book very highly as he is speaking from actual experience not just text book theory.

This book has been so helpful in our approach to managing the care of my brother-in-law, age 73 who has been living with Alzheimer's for several years. We are focusing on his assets rather than his deficits. It takes the stress off him and his care team. It can be a very powerful tool in changing the the culture.

This is a great text for both surgical and non surgical rejuvenation of the vagina and genital track. Finally a relevant discussion for female sexual dysfunction, that does not imply depression and mental illness as the cause!! A great resource for both Gynecologist and Aesthetic medical providers interested in women's sexual health!!

✯✯✯✯✯
this is an excellent text. the surgical management is well documented. it is also nice to have the other treatments such as the o-shot documented in the same book. Dr. Runel's explanation of the o-shot procedure should spark interest in this simple but elegant technique. I would highly recommend this book to anyone doing female genital cosmetics.

MRI of the prostate :|ba practical approach

簡介(Book Description from Amazon)：

Although prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men in the USA, it can be treated successfully if detected early. Disease management has gradually changed to a paradigm that relies on close monitoring through active surveillance in select patients, as well as ongoing refinements in treatment interventions, including minimally invasive procedures. This has resulted in a critical need for a more exacting methodology for performing targeted biopsies, assessing risk levels, and devising treatment strategies. Prostate MRI has emerged as the most precise, state-of-the-art imaging modality for prostate cancer diagnosis and management, thereby creating an immediate demand for radiologists to become proficient in its use.

Conceived and edited by a leading authority, with contributions from renowned experts in the field, MRI of the Prostate: A Practical Approach is the first book to tackle this important topic. It provides an overview of the fundamentals of prostate MRI acquisition, interpretation, and reporting. Readers will benefit from a wide range of insightful perspectives gleaned from years of hands-on experience.

Critical care emergency medicine

簡介(Book Description from Amazon)：

Critical Care Emergency Medicine has become the standard reference for all clinicians who wish to understand the overlap between emergency medicine and critical care. Much like the field of emergency medicine itself, this text is a collaborative effort involving emergency physicians as well as clinicians from trauma, critical care, infectious diseases, and pulmonary medicine.

Critical Care Emergency Medicine teaches emergency physicians everything they must know and do to better care for critically ill patients in an emergency department or to provide care in an ICU. Enhanced by numerous algorithms that speed decision making and full-color illustrations demonstrating anatomy and technique, this book is an essential practice tool.

Musculoskeletal ultrasound in rheumatology review

簡介(Book Description from Amazon)：

This book provides a comprehensive clinical review of diagnostic and interventional applications of musculoskeletal ultrasound at the point-of-care. As more rheumatologists and other musculoskeletal providers in training and in practice learn the skill of musculoskeletal ultrasound, an increasing number of them will seek study materials for exam preparation and practical knowledge that apply to their clinical practice. Each chapter covers a standardized protocol of joint images with probe placement, and includes numerous examples of common ultrasound pathologies, clearly addressing what kind of pathology to look for with specific ultrasound image views. Review topics are emphasized, and study tools such as key-concept overviews, lists of important studies in the field, and extensive questions for self-assessment are included throughout. Because ultrasound training is moving toward becoming a mandatory part of rheumatology fellowship and has become mandatory in physical medicine and rehabilitation residencies, this book is a valuable educational resource for rheumatologists, physiatrists, and musculoskeletal providers seeking a practical review guide for preparation of certification exams and use in clinical practice.

This book is a must-read for any rheumatologist interested in musculoskeletal ultrasound. It is definitely a review book and a comprehensive one at that. There's a great deal of cross-referencing with the latest literature which helps with context. The authors for each chapter were carefully selected and offer many clinically useful tips and "tricks of the trade." For those interested in rheumatologic musculoskeletal ultrasound, this is next book that I recommend after reading Jon Jacobson's Fundamentals of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound, 2e.

✯✯✯✯✯
This is a fabulous book , especially in the ultrasound for vasculitis by Dr. Andreas P. Diamantopoulos. I liked the ultrasound images, the solution for the ultrasound pitfalls inthis very challenging ultrasound, and the machine presets. I am recommending this book for all vascular and myoskeletal ultrasound sonographers. Thanks Very Much Dr. Diamantopoulos, and Dr. Kohler.

The content is a masterpiece .What is missing is the references to the literature .They are actually an integral part of the book and the publisher needs to quit putting them on websites

Best used as a reference book. Requires a basic understanding of pre-test probability and likelihood ratios (which the book explains). The most comprehensive review of the literature on the physical exam. Any internist can use this book to improve their bedside diagnosis skills.

Oxford textbook of axial spondyloarthritis

簡介(Book Description from Amazon)：

Axial Spondyloarthritis is a timely addition to the Oxford Textbooks in Rheumatology series, providing a comprehensive reference to this rapidly evolving field. The conceptual framework of the disease has now evolved beyond ankylosing spondylitis to encompass a broader concept of axial inflammation. Earlier recognition has opened the door to earlier intervention, and the understanding of the biologic basis of axial SpA has seen significant advances in recent years. 

The first textbook to cover axial spondyloarthritis in this level of detail from a global perspective, this volume offers a practical and complete resource compiled by a multidisciplinary and multinational team of experts. Beginning with a historical perspective on the disease, the textbook provides a comprehensive background in the epidemiology, diagnosis, and classification of axial spondyloarthritis. Immune mechanisms and genetics are covered, along with imaging and a detailed section on the range of treatments options currently available. A section on extra-articular manifestations provides a comprehensive knowledge base for the clinician treating patients with spondyloarthritis, and chapters on the economics of the disease, physical functioning, and patient registries complete the broad coverage of the topic.

Practical, easy to use, yet detailed with respect to pathophysiology, diagnostics, and management, this textbook provides a comprehensive reference for rheumatologists, general practitioners, internists, and paediatricians managing patients with axial spondyloarthritis.
