Applied therapeutics

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

This widely used text uses a case-based approach to help students master the fundamentals of drug therapeutics. Students will learn the basics of common diseases and disorders and develop practical problem-solving skills for devising and implementing successful drug treatment regimens. Case studies integrated into each chapter illustrate key concepts and principles of therapeutics and give students practice in developing their own evidence-based therapeutic plans.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :


Concise, thorough, understandable, the best in class
I teach Clinical Pharmacy and find this book far superior to the other Therapeutics text. The authors are top in their field, have practical knowledge and I always learn something new that I can use in clinical pharmacy practice when I read this book. Updated and then some, this text is easily useable for the next 4 years. Other text claims more frequent updates, but compare for yourself. Again, I strongly encourage students of pharmacotherapy read this book whether it is required or not.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :


Great Book !!!!
This is the best book for dental student I have ever seen. All you need as a dentist is here. It is very well organized with great illustrations and easy to understand of complicated topics of head and neck anatomy. The explanations are arranged in columns which make them easy to understand and recall.In addition, there is Clinical correlations for the most of the anatomical topics. But there is only one problem; the labels of some illustrations are small to read. So, I think you will have a problem to read them if you have a visual issue!


Brilliant!!!!
Awesome, just like all Netter books its completely worth every penny. The book is an excellent resource for head and neck anatomy. Great images and the text compliments perfectly.


A must have
His book is a must have for any dental student. I ordered this book along with the newest Netters Anatomy and I could honestly say that you need both in you library. THere were several times I went to this book for specifics that arnt in the netters


pretty good
I got this to study for specialty boards, man I wish they had somehting like this when I was in dental school. Nicely drawn illustrations and organized appropriately. A great add on for the person who wants to get an A.


Wow! What beautiful artwork
The Netter's artwork is very helpful for those who study in dental professional fields. Dr. Netter produced over 20,000 images in his career, and they serve as guidance to many professionals in various medical fields. I highly recommend it.


great book, great shipping

Plus this book is the most useful type of anatomy book ive ever used

Palpation and assessment skills

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

Palpation and Assessment Skills has been designed and developed to help the student and practitioner to understand and acquire the palpatory skills that are the foundation of all effective manual therapy assessments and treatments. Subtlety and sensitivity of touch, and the accurate interpretation of palpation findings and tests, are essential aspects of all manual therapy professions. While it is difficult to learn these from written descriptions or static illustrations alone, by combining a workbook approach with the use of video demonstrations and audio explanations on a DVD, Palpation and Assessment Skills provides the student and developing practitioner with a portable workshop, that they can access at any time

Customer Reviews from Amazon :


Superior Work by a Superior Author
Medical care providers today often lack palpation skills. Examination and manual therapy often depend on this missing ability. Myofascial trigger points are basically diagnosed by palpation. With the growing understanding that all chronic pain has a myofascial component; that central sensitization states such as fibromyalgia are often maintained by myofascial trigger points; and that much of the muscle weakness, loss of mobility, and symptoms such as incontinence that plague old age are often due to myofascial trigger points, the need for remedial palpation skills has never been so great. This book fills that need.

Tumor board reviews

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

Tumor Board Review utilizes the knowledge and expertise of oncology specialists to enhance learning the practice of oncology. Each of the 32 chapters follows a uniform format: a concise summary of the epidemiology, risk factors, natural history, and pathology of each major organ-specific tumor type; an abbreviated display of the relevant staging (generally based on theAmerican Joint Commission on Cancer [AJCC] Staging, 7th Edition); and several ìtumor boardñstyleî illustrative patient case summaries (representative of major stage categories of each tumor), each followed by an evidence-based case discussion which reviews the current guidelines and rationale for the diagnostic and therapeutic steps taken. Algorithms and decision tree graphics are used extensively to provide visual support of the decision process.

The combination of case presentations and evidence-based management discussions make this volume a unique tool for keeping current with clinical guidelines and provides the reader with a clear understanding of applications of new information for use in daily practice. The case presentations and authoritative discussions make Tumor Board Review a valuable resource for board study and self-assessment.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :


The book that i have been waiting for !!
As everyone in the oncology fellowship training knows , there is a huge gap in this filed , most oncology books are massive and loaded with information , most of the time by the time the book is written , reviewed and printed , it is out dated in the management section.
This book is fresh and just out of the oven ! managed to incorporate the 2011 NCCN guidelines in the text ! in a friendly format and easy to read.
each chapter has 2-3 case scenarios that illustrate the major take home messages and initiate a critical thinking , the case is discussed as you go into the details of the topic and i must say , i haven't seen any book in oncology like this so far.
preparing for my ABIM oncology fellowship exam in 9 months and with my heavy duty rotations , i started using this book a long with my slightly out dated ASCO-SEP 2nd Edition and i think my investment in this book was wise and worth it !
now i will go back to continue my fun reading in my Tumor Board Review book. I love it !
Good Luck to all the exam takers ! dont even think twice ....if you are an oncology fellow then this is UR BOOK !


Read this now
From the point of view of a hem/onc in community practice, this is a great book for keeping up to date, preparing for recertification, and just bridging the gaps between journals, conferences and your existing knowledge base. If you are a hematologist/oncologist in the community, getting this right now and reading it cover to cover is highly recommended.


Easy to undertand and use
Prepares you in many differnte ways, either for the board review, and also helps you in a daily base practice.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :


This is an Amazing Text
Nigel Palastanga, Derek Field and Roger Soames have written an amazing text. I am an engineer by trade and became a yoga teacher for health reasons. I did allot of searching for the definitive anatomy book that is focused on position and movement; and this is it! I have referenced this book in one that I have recently published on the subject of yoga class design.
I have a very strong background in organizational strategies and creative problem solving. I find this book very professionally constructed with a strong sense of order and clarity. There are functional illustrations with illuminating descriptions. Each section is laid out in the same way beginning with the foundation of the bones then the muscles and joints etc. I especially like the summary sections that appear periodically that help to reinforce the main concepts covered. This feature is especially useful because it helps me to find the appropriate information and then look deeper into the chapter for the details.
My purpose for this text was to look at the shape of a yoga posture and discern what muscles are being used. In this regard it is extremely useful. I can now design my yoga classes by deconstructing yoga postures to help determine their utility in stretching specific muscle groups. Other sections of the text describe joint movement and range of movement. This is a benefit to aid in the process of safely entering, sustaining and exiting a posture. There is much more in this text but these are the main things that I am interested in. I highly recommend this text for traditional yoga and yoga therapy practitioners. I am sure that medically trained professionals and students will benefit to a greater degree as this text is written from that perspective.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Excellent Book!
This book is an excellent resource for those studying for oral boards. It uses the correct ACR terminology that you have to say in order to nail the case, and it gives BI-RADS categories unlike most other books. This is an excellent resource, even for those who have not done a mammography rotation. It helps you understand how to work up cases properly.

Excellent
A well written book containing a comprehensive sample of breast imaging cases. Suitable for current practionners and residents. The book seems particularly suitable for those studying for rads boards.


Excellent, high yield
This is a great collection of about 100 breast imaging cases which are high yield for radiology boards. It is an easy-to-carry along book which is handy while on a breast imaging rotation. The images are readable and the explanation for each case is clear and concise. I strongly recommend this book.


Highly recommended
As a physician and patient advocate, I am passionate about the optimization of provider education. I support case studies as one of the most effective and efficient ways to accomplish this. Kudos to the authors of this book - it is a must-have for a foundation in, as well as continuing medical education in, breast imaging.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Dermatologic and Cosmetic Procedures in Office Practice
Initial 'version' of this book - "Skin Surgery, A Practical Guide" was invaluable to me in developing insight into primary care skin procedures. Now the new evolution- "Dermatologic and Cosmetic Procedure in Office Practice" is my favorite reference and field guide in the procedure room.
Tables on characteristics of sutures and steroid strengths, and figures of skin tension lines and at-risk anatomic areas are few of many useful tables and figures I frequently use as snap shot references. With the Ipad application of the same book, I enjoy watching the video clips on the go- an excellent audio-visual experience that helped refine my surgical skills and advance my practice to a whole new level.
From 'Getting Started' to 'Putting it All Together', this book/ mobile application has all the crucial information needed to start, thrive and excel in providing much needed office-based procedural care services. With excellent quality pictures and videos, it is a complete self-learning tool and invaluable resource for every learner, educator and practitioner of primary or specialty care.

DERMATOLOGIC & COSMETIC PROCEDURES IN OFFICE PRACTICE
AS A ENTRY LEVEL NURSE PRACTITIONER, I FOUND THIS BOOK TO BE INVALUABLE. IT HAS WONDERFUL PICTURES FOR EACH STEP OF A PROCEDURE. THE INSTUCTIONS ARE EASY TO UNDERSTAND.
IT COVERS ALL THE PROCEDURES THAT EMPLOYERS WOULD LIKE FOR AN NP TO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN PERFORMING IN THE CLINICAL SETTING.
IT IS UP TO DATE AND PROVIDES POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS FOR EACH PROCEDURE. THIS IS VALUABLE IN OBTAINING AN INFORMED CONSENT FROM THE PATIENT PRIOR TO THE PROCEDURE. ADDITIONALLY, IT PROVIDES THE PRACTITIONER WITH THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO QUICKLY ASCERTAIN IF ANY COMPLICATIONS ARE DEVELOPING.


Very useful in daily practice
I am a Primary Care Physician with a special interest in Dermatology. I got this book during a medical conference (Pri-Med in Boston).
In reviewing this book, I found it is really helful in my practice because every procedure is very well explained. For example, it has tables for recommended doses of steroid injections, as well as guidence in the type of equipment needed for every procedure. The pictures are excellent. The book has a DVD if you need more details about a particular topic and it has a link to access online. The authors give advice for coding and billing, which keep non-profit organizations in business. I love this book. I use it every day in my practice and recommend it to any practicioner wanting to improve their skills in dealing with dermatological procedures.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Best and updated sleep medicine book
A simplified, easily underderstanding (a lot of tables and figurs),up to date,condenced book. The weak point is most of the content confining in sleep medicine in adult. A few chapters are for sleep medicine in children.


The best Sleep Medicine book for the Board Exam
This is the best and most updated book on sleep medicine out there right now. I just passed the ABIM Sleep Medicine Exam this year (Nov, 2011)and this was the most helpful book I have ever come across. It has all the basics of ALL aspects of sleep medicine and Polysomnography that you need to know for the boards. I would consider it to be an essential reading for the Fellows in Sleep Medicine. Many many thanks to Dr. Berry.


BEST IN SLEEP MEDICINE
MOST UPDATED. ALL THE PRACTICE PARAMETERS AND CLINICAL GUIDELINES FROM AASM INCLUDED. VERY CLEAR AND LUCID WAY OF WRITING. A LOT OF PICTORIALS FOR DISEASE DIAGNOSIS LIKE ACTIGRAPHS AND POLYSOMNOGRAPHS. ALL THE CHANGES IN THE FIELD OF SLEEP MEDICINE AFTER 2007 INCLUDED AND VERY NICELY UPDATED.
It covers ICSD-2, Sleep scoring manual, practice parameters, clinical guidelines of AASM. THIS IS WHAT IS MOST ESSENTIAL FOR SLEEP BOARDS. EVERYTHING AT ONE PLACE AND MUCH LESSER COST. WOW!! WHAT A BARGAIN.
In addition to all this nicely covered the technical concepts of Polysomnography also.
ANYONE WANTS TO BUY ONE ANF FIRST BOOK ON SLEEP MEDICINE, THIS IS THE BOOK. NICELY DONE DR. BERRY.
