Trauma

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

The definitive guide to trauma surgery—now in full color!

The seventh edition, Trauma reaffirms its status as the leading comprehensive textbook in the field. With a new full-color design and a rich atlas of anatomic drawings and surgical approaches, Trauma, 7e takes you through the full range of injuries the trauma surgeon is likely to encounter. The book also features timely coverage that explains how to care for war victims who may require acute interventions such as amputation.

Supported by numerous x-rays, CT scans, plus informative tables throughout, this trusted reference begins with an informative look at kinematics and the mechanisms of trauma injury. Subsequent chapters provide useful background information on the epidemiology of trauma; injury prevention; the basics of trauma systems, triage, and transport; and much more. The next section meticulously reviews generalized approaches to the trauma patient, from pre-hospital care and managing shock, to emergency department thoracotomy and the management of infections. Trauma then delivers a clear organ-by-organ survey of treatment protocols designed to help you respond to any critical care situation with confidence, no matter what body system is involved. The remaining sections of the book will help you successfully handle specific challenges in trauma—including alcohol and drug abuse, and combat-related wounds—in addition to post-traumatic complications such as multiple organ failure.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

GREAT RESOURCE
This book is a great resource for any pharmacy student seeking post-graduate training!!!
It's compiled by residency program directors, pharmacy administrators, and academicians from established institutions across the country. There are also insights from current residents and pharmacy students navigating the search for residency. Reading through this book was like having my mentor right with me.
It helped remove some of the anxiety of the process and I knew what to expect at each stage. This book was a great guide on navigating professional meetings like Midyear and how to successfully network with residency programs. It includes sample CV's that I used to model the structure of my CV when submitting it for application.
This book doesn't just cover clinical residencies. It also describes other choices for post-graduate training such as fellowship, management, and community residencies. It also discusses options for specialty training and other options after residency that I know will be helpful as I start thinking about PGY2.
I would recommend this book as a resource for any student or new graduate who feels lost in the residency search process!!!

excellent resource
Excellent resource with good examples and insight from experienced professionals. It will be really helpful as I start looking at residency programs and preparing for that process (will be helpful if I consider PGY2 as well). We did not have a textbook when I took my residency prep elective, but this would be a great book for that too!

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

great book on a hard-to-find subject
I'm majoring in Nuclear Medicine and I wanted a book that wasn't water-down to the layman or made for someone who is in a masters program. This is a great book to get this information you need and that in applicable to the field. it is also good in that it's up-to-date, which is important in this ever-evolving field. Books published ten years ago are sorely out of date.

one of the best books in nuclear medicine
Very useful book. I had the second edition (1987) and now i bought the fourth edition. it has everything a medical physicist needs to review.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

I Iove this book

The best current cancer chemotherapy manual ,ever.. In this book, new chemotherapy protocols , drug usage details and side effects included.

like the new look
the way the book is bound easy to lay open and leave and comback to with out breaking the books spine.
easy as always to find drugs fast and protocals for treatments in the back makes back up access when not able to access by computer.

CONTINUED EXCELLENCE; CANCER CHEMOTHERAPY
The new edition continues the tradition of describing the major oncology drugs available. For medical professionals who concentrate on oncology, it is a critical source of all current drugs being used for all solid and hematological tumors.The mechanisms of action and resistance are described, along with dose ranges, interactions, special considerations, and toxicities. There are special sections on antemetic agents, and common chemotherapy regimens. One major error that is printed is the BRAF serine-theonine kinase named as inhibitor BRAFV6000E for Vemurafenib, instead BRAFV600e for the drug Vemurafenib(Zelboraf). The index is excellent, and drugs are crossed
referenced. A more careful review would have avoided some of the
misnumbered pages. Regardless of these minor errors, this book is essential.

Family practice examination & board review

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

An engagingly written case-based review for the Family Medicine Board Examination and the USMLE Step 3

Family Practice Examination and Board Review, Third Edition is the ideal study guide for the primary and recertification exam in family medicine and for licensure

exams. The third edition has been completely updated with new cases, new questions, and new study results—and you'll also find new bits of humor that make the book fun to read and your study more enjoyable. This trusted review

has been applauded by residents and students for its "building-block approach" to teaching that assures you understand one subject before moving on to the next.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Fantastic Choice for Board Review
I completed my examination on 4/11/13 and can safely say that this review book was fantastic - covering the breadth and depth for topics on the examination very well. This was my sole resource for studying (aside from looking up specific topics that were brought to my attention in the book which I wanted to know more about and a review of ALSO) and I feel very good about that decision.

I've used Swanson and Core Content in the past, but this was much better, and included information which will change my practice. My background: practice inpatient, outpatient and maternity care and teach at a medical school/residency. Years experience: 10. # boards taken so far: 2.
My advice:
1. Study topics in order of the % of the examination (Respiratory, then Cardiac, etc.)
2. Take hand written notes while working through the book.
3. Review hand written notes every 3 chapters - for me, the act of writing things out cements it in my head.
Areas on which I wished I had spent a little more time: ID, Vaccinations, Neuro. Only other note is that this book was published in 2012, so as we move farther out from then, see if they have an update. My hope is that they will update online and make hard copy updates every 2-3 years. Good luck!

Excellent book!
I just took my recert. My practice is rural, strictly outpatient, no OB, about 5% peds. This book helped a lot. Would highly recommend this book. I only wish that I went through this book couple of times instead of wasting almost 1000 dollars on review prep which was such a waste of time and money. Absolute waste of time.
My opinion: this book is all that you need. Go through it couple of times paying attention to the helpful tips box. It really helped a lot. And pay particular attention to the explanation of wrong answers. Also if you are AAFP member, definitely do the board review questions.

One of the best!
If you are preparing for your residency exams or you are already in your clinical practice as gynecology and obstetrics resident, you have to buy this book! It's very complete, although it's not a big textbook like Williams, you can find the information quickly and this is perfect for the specific residency exams. I recommend u buy it. The best was I got this book for $50.00 less than in my country. The delivery was fast and the condition of the book was excellent.

Very good balance between size and info
Good book. It's not the MOST detailed of all the books, but it covers BOTH Gyn and Obs. Very good for an intermediate and not too advanced level.

Diagnostic imaging of infants and children

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

The essential illustrated atlas of pediatric radiology—featuring more than 3,700 images

Diagnostic Imaging of Infants and Children enables you to visualize the full range of pediatric

diseases and injuries using the latest diagnostic imaging techniques. A one-of-a-kind survey of the entire spectrum of disease in neonates, infants, children, and adolescents, Diagnostic Imaging of Infants and Children is filled with 3,794 high-quality images of every modality: X-ray, CT, ultrasound, MRI, nuclear medicine, and more.

Diagnostic Imaging of Infants and Children features an organization that reflects how a practicing

radiologist approaches a typical case, beginning with the clinical presentation and pathology of a disease and proceeding through the findings for each important imaging technique.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Nice book!
This is a very nice comprehensive book of pediatric radiology. The book is split into 2 big volumes. The whole book is written by Dr. Wells, which is pretty amazing as I think it could not be easy to write all those pages. This book is as big as Caffey's pediatric radiology book. The good thing about this book, since it is written by one author, there is a consistent writing style. The book has citations so one could go back to the original literature for more detail.
The book is pretty well researched. For example, in the discussion on intussuception, the author talks about trapped intraperitoneal fluid and its importance as an indicator of greater likelihood of irreducibility. I smiled when I saw that because even though I trained at a very top notch pediatric radiology fellowship, I was not taught about or seen trapped intraperitoneal fluid. It wasn't until I became an attending that I encountered my first trapped fluid, and had no idea what I was seeing.
One con of the book is the short one paragraph discussion on MR enterography for Crohn's disease. At most academic children's hospital, MR enterography has basically replaced small bowel follow through and CT for assessment of Crohn's disease status.
Overall, the book is very readable, and I'm slowly digesting several pages each day.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

The State of the Art Textbook for Family Medicine
This is the state of the art textbook for Family Medicine. The book is comprehensive, accurate, and interesting to read. It is also a very efficient way to look up information quickly during clinical sessions. We have several copies in our clinic, and we use it extensively to teach our residents. I have used the previous version of this book as a book prize at graduation for outstanding resident performance.

Since I am a visual person, I find the comprehensive collections of photos and graphics to be a great way to learn. It was a great resource for my personal board recertification preparation this spring. The photos draw you into the material, and it helped me to sustain my energy for some longer study sessions. I personally own the iPad and the hard copy version, and I think both are excellent.

Excellent resource
This is truly a comprehensive atlas. It includes everything from radiographic images to detailed diagnoses, with an especially impressive section on dermatology. Clearly, this is a "must-have" for anyone in a clinical primary care setting. It is great for anyone in training and a quick reference for those in practice.
The photos are high quality and the accompanying clinical information is helpful as well. There really is not another book out there that combines all elements of primary care with photos and up to date, useful explanations.
Highly recommended!

Practical, concise and beautiful
The Color Atlas of Family Medicine is an exceptional reference for the practicing physician, medical student or resident.
In an era where good medical content is freely available on the internet, traditional textbooks require too much searching and extended reading times, only to find that the information is incomplete or outdated. In contrast, this book allows focused and concise review of a very broad range of topics relevant in the clinical setting.
As its title indicates, the book is filled with extremely detailed and well reproduced photographs, covering all the major fields of family medicine. Even with broadband connections, high quality photos and graphics are much slower and grainier on the internet than in a well-organized book.
The section on dermatology alone would make a great stand-alone reference text.
Most books that are presented as an `atlas' pay less attention to the text than the graphics. However, the information in this book is packed with concise, practical, and timely information that fully compliments its graphics and is a joy to use.
Each section is beautifully presented, each topic introduced with a patient scenario. This provides a natural clinical overview of the topic and, throughout the text, highlighted by superb photos and graphics. It is therefore easy to review a subject `real time' in the office or clinical setting.
The book also covers common family Medicine procedures including colposcopy, dermoscopy, and intralesional steroid injections. In addition, it covers many common areas of Family Medicine often sparsely covered in training, such as Podiatry, physical and substance abuse, and end-of-life issues.
A wonderful and nearly unique feature of this book is that most recommendations indicate a "strength of recommendation" based on the quality of information derived from evidence based medicine.
Also, as someone who has been a clinical instructor for Family Medicine residents, this is a great resource to "fast track" the experience of seeing and taking care of a patient with a particular problem or to allow a quick topic review of a patient that is being seen in the office or clinic.
Much is being said about the medical home. This book will provide much of the support and information needed to turn your practice into a medical home and support your development in the art of medicine.
