Sleep medicine

(點選圖片可預覽部份內容)

簡介(Book Description from Google)：
Sleep Medicine is one of the fastest growing fields of medicine and of strong interest to neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, pulmonologists, otolaryngologists, and the technologists who perform sleep studies. Almost all of the major medical centers in the US now have centers for sleep disorders. In 2007, sleep medicine will become an official medical subspecialty, with board examinations being administered by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Sleep Medicine: Essentials and Review will cover this new field by providing a book that can be used both as a practical, outline-style text for managing sleep disorders and as a "high yield" review for preparing for the sleep medicine board exam. In addition to the text, the author will include 150 board-type multiple choice questions with answers and explanations. Dr. Lee-Chiong is a major authority in the field and author of a comprehensive sleep medicine textbook.

Sleep Medicine: Essentials and Review
Excellent review, with lots of questions and detailed answers in the back. Excellent value - probably the best bang for the buck available for sleep medicine.

Great "must have" for the Sleep Medicine Boards
This is a great "must have" book which consolidates all the facts needed by an aspiring Sleep Medicine physician for clinical practice and for study. All the facts in this book has more than 85% of the information needed to study for the Sleep Medicine Exam! The text and study charts are easy to read and memorize. The 500 test questions with answers become great practice. What a bargain priced book!

Sleep Medicine Essentials and Review by Teofilo Lee-Chiong, Jr.
I highly reccomend this book. Are you a sleep lab tech? This has alot of information with many pages of outlined information. It also contains the new scoring rules!!!! Some information is higher level for doctors but easy to read. You just learn a bit more than what is required to pass the RPSGT Exam. Other reading I also reccomend Essentials of Polysomnography by William H. Spriggs. This also has the new scoring rules. Along with Sleep Medicine Pearls by Richard B. Berry. This does not have the new scoring rules. And purchase Fundamentals of Sleep Technology by Nic Butkov and Teofilo Lee-Chiong. This does not have the new scoring rules. If you can get your hands on these four books you should pass the RPSGT Exam. Good Luck!

Sleep Essentials Companion for quick review
Aside from the larger textbooks available, the Sleep Essentials book is a great companion to the Handbook of Sleep Medicine by the same author, with up-to-date information for many of the chapters. A quick and conscise review in a well written style, enables one to overcome the large amount of facts needed for a better understanding of Sleep Medicine. So worth the price!

Science and psychiatry

簡介(Book Description from Google)：
Solomon Snyder has been instrumental in the establishment of modern psychopharmacology-as a pioneer in the identification of receptors for neurotransmitters and drugs and in the explanation of the actions of psychotropic agents. "Science and Psychiatry" is a collection of some of his best scientific papers, publications ranging over forty years that represent important advances in psychopharmacology and molecular biology. Audacious and unanticipated when they first appeared, these papers opened up new areas of understanding and revolutionized the modern study of the brain. Republished here, they show why fundamental research into the "messengers of the mind" is as essential for clinicians as for researchers.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

The Standard
This book is king. I consider it indispensable while studying. The new edition is much updated compared to the previous, it is worth getting this one.

Pretty good reading for a Path book
Pretty good book, especially for the price. The information is interesting enough to sit down and read a section when interested in a disease, but the book doesn't provide too much information to be overwhelming to a student. I am very glad that I purchased this book as it has been very helpful in my pathology courses.

Pediatric heart sounds

點選圖片可預覽部份內容)

簡介(Book Description from Google)：
As a learning tool, Pediatric Heart Sounds offers a unique interactive overview of cardiac auscultation. The CD-ROM is the only one to integrate high-fidelity, digitally recorded pediatric heart sounds with a graphic patient chest interface, while the book provides a review of the mechanisms behind the individual heart sounds. Using the CD-ROM, readers can āplaceā the stethoscope at the four chest locations most commonly auscultated and to hear the corresponding sounds, thus simulating an actual examination. Pediatric Heart Sounds provides an additional learning tool for medical students and practitioners in preparation for future study or for integration into practical work experience with pediatric patients.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

Excellent tool for medical students and residents on cardiology rotations
This book is an excellent resource for both medical students and residents on their cardiology rotations. The accompanying CD contains a recorded heart sounds tutorial, with respiration over the heart sounds, and is more realistic and lifelike than others of its kind. There is a quiz on the CD so that you can test your listening skills following the tutorial. The book and CD together teach you how to listen to the heart in a methodical way and to listen for each sound separately instead of immediately jumping to a conclusion about the diagnosis. You learn how to listen for S1 then S2, then extra heart sounds, then murmurs, etc. Then you put it all together and come up with a diagnosis. The book and CD do an excellent job teaching how to differentiate between normal innocent murmurs and pathologic murmurs. Overall I think students, residents, residency programs and medical schools should have this resource available and use it prior to and during the cardiology rotation for improved learning.

Invaluable teaching tool
An excellent tool for improving auscultation skills. The dissection method forces you to pay attention to all the components of the cardiac cycle to make a better diagnosis. Also, the accompanying CD has real life recordings and is very interactive.

Useful for anyone who will listen to the heart of a child
The audiofiles that accompany this book are outstanding. They are real recordings and highlight the specific aspects of the cardiac exam that carry additional importance in the world of pediatrics...where not all plumbing is as expected. Outstanding reference for anyone who places a stethoscope over the heart of a child.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

Very pleased
I am a subspecialist who just recertified in general pediatrics. I was using another review prior to this one and gave up after about 4 very poor chapters. This book on the other hand was perfect review-- very focused, with much of the material covered in the exam. In fact, I can't think of anything on the exam that was not covered in this book. So I highly recommend this for subspecialists who want to recertify in general pediatrics with limited time to prepare. The MOC exam itself seemed fair and straightforward with hardly any of the esoterica that I had anticipated, which brings into question how much preparation is needed anyway.

Another excellent Mayo collection
It's well packed with essential stuff. I would say that its content is somewhere between Toronto Notes and some other bigger standard texts. It's worth-buying for undergraduates and postgraduate trainees.

Now in its Eighth Edition, this leading comprehensive manual helps nurses deliver safe, effective, and informed care for patients undergoing diagnostic tests and procedures. The book covers a broad range of laboratory and diagnostic tests and studies that are delivered to varied patient populations in varied settings. Tests are grouped according to specimen and function/test type (e.g. blood, urine, stool, cerebrospinal fluid, etc.). Each test is described in detail, with step-by-step guidance on correct procedure, tips for accurate interpretation, and instructions for patient preparation and aftercare. Clinical Alerts highlight critical safety information.

Always the Best
started using Fischbach in Nursing School and was re-acquainted with it when I joined the Air Force. I have never found anything at all close to the quality of the content. I had a copy at the hospital until someone else recognized the quality of it for themselves. So I immediatly went out and bought another. I'm afraid I need another one at work. I don't mind everyone liking them. I just don't care to be the sole supplier to the world. I guess I will have to chain it to the inside of my locker. Thanks Major H (retired)

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

Lots of Instructional Photos on Chiropractic Technique
For each testing procedure in the book, a general comment is presented about the pathologic condition targeted by the test. This comment is followed by a discussion of how the test is conducted. Each procedure is supported by photo illustrations and legends. Each test is cross referenced with other supportive tests and procedures. An accurate documentation or reporting statement is provided for each test. When possible, a 'clinical pearl' identifies the subtle nuances or finesse of the tests that the author has gleaned from empirical practice."

orthopedic book
This was great for the price as well as the included dvd this gave me a good view of how to perform the orthopedic test for my board exam high;ly reccomended.
