Cosmetic injection techniques :a text and video guide to neurotoxins and fillers

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

This is a thoughtful approach to how to perform injections using neuromodulators and dermal fillers. Beginners as well as advanced injectors will find it a useful reference. It provides a wonderful overview of the broad applications of these products for nonsurgical facial rejuvenation. -- Doody's Review

The injection of cosmetic neurotoxins and fillers is a multi-billion dollar industry in which facial plastic surgeons, plastic surgeons, dermatologists, oculoplastic surgeons, and paraprofessionals in the U.S. perform more than seven million injections annually. Cosmetic Injection Techniques and the videos that accompany it provide all medical professionals in the field (from beginners to experienced injectors) with practical information on how to properly administer neurotoxin and filler injections for conditions such as lower eyelid roll, nasal flare, platysmal banding, marionette lines, glabellar frown lines, and much more.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Excellent book

For all physicians, including plastic surgeons/facial plastic surgeons and dermatologists who perform injections with fillers and neuromodulators this book offers concise, easy to access, accurate, useful print and video content for basic and advanced injection techniques. For beginner injectors- or advanced injectors who may desire a refresher on a less frequently used technique, I highly recommend this book.

Great for nurses as well as all medical professionals!

Very good text covers basic to advanced and includes specialized subjects including prehospital and hospital interventions. I highly recommend this text.

The best trauma book in the world

As an RN, I found this book to be a valuable tool essential for learning about cosmetic injectables! It is very detailed with pertinent information about injection technique/methods, precautions, pearls of injection, as well as anatomical considerations to name a few. The information is very clear for a novice injector as well as for the advanced injector. What also makes it a great reference is the video segment that goes along with each chapter in addition to the detailed illustrations. The video segments makes it especially helpful for visual learners. I find it to be a great investment for learning about the subject matter!

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Awesome must have for derm residents to learn drugs

Stuff in here youre not going to find in andrews or bolognia. It really teaches u pharmacology of the drugs used in derm. Really key book for boards.

excellent book

excellent book ;if you need information about drugs used in dermatology ,buy it and consult it .A lot of information in one book.

Excellent book !! Like always

I have been a fan of Wolverton since my student days. I could not resist the moment I saw the new edition. As expected it has improved way ahead. The information is to the point and the things what you need and want to know. A must have for all new and already practicing dermatologists !!

Invaluable resource
The third edition of Wolverton is a substantial improvement over what was already a superb resource. I can think of no other reference book that touches it for dermatologic medications. I particularly appreciate the details on mechanisms of action and the balanced, nuanced discussions of adverse effects.
The chapters have been edited to limit repetition and some of the more egregious typos have been corrected -- although this book is still remarkable for the apparent lack of proof-reading. But misspellings certainly do not negate its value.

Very well done
Wolverton's book is a classic in dermatology, and this edition is no exception. I especially appreciate the online version that can be accessed anywhere you have internet on any device. It is a complete version of the book, with the advantage of search.

Mayo Clinic cardiology : concise textbook

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

The Fourth edition of Mayo Clinic Cardiology: Concise Textbook continues the tradition of all previous editions: a succinct yet comprehensive teaching and learning textbook rather than an overwhelming reference work. This new edition continues to bridge the gap between currently available texts: more than a bare-bones compilations of lists of facts that do not address the fundamental concepts of the practice of cardiology and not so encyclopedic a tome that it goes into the minute detail of a traditional reference work.

Organized to present a comprehensive overview of the field of cardiology in an accessible, reader-friendly format that can be covered in about 12 months, this new edition contains roughly 50% new material, the cardiac pharmacology section has been completely reworked, cardiovascular trials have been included, and the entire book has been updated to reflect current practice guidelines and recent developments. The book is peppered throughout with numerous tables and clinical pearls that aid the student, as well as the teacher, to remain focused.

Mayo Clinic Cardiology is based on the original syllabus for the Mayo Cardiovascular Review Course, one of the premiere teaching courses in cardiology in the United States. The content evolves entirely from Mayo Clinic physicians and reflects the expert cardiovascular care provided, from common conditions to those that are very rare, even for tertiary referral centers.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Excellent, as expected

This book doesn't really need a review. If you are looking at it, you probably know that it is thorough, continuing a solid Mayo tradition into a new edition. The format is much the same, with an outline, text, and review of key points. Helpfully, each section has a short summary, printed over a light grey background, in order to stand out, so after reading a section, you can glance back through and remind yourself via these short summaries of what you have learned. If you don't remember the details, it provides a helpful reminder of what you need to study more.

The text has about the same level of depth than the ACCSAP 8, but does not have the extensive sample questions of that resource. Additionally, ACCSAP has larger print and is helpfully broken into smaller, lighter books which are easier to carry around to study from. It is helpful that the echocardiograms are not in Mayo format, but in the more widely accepted format for apical views. That being said, I think there's only one apical 4 chamber view in the book.

I do find that the ACCSAP is easier to read, with less "data density" per page. But once I have seen the material a few times, this is easier to use as a reference, without unnecessary explanation.

Overall, a solid one-volume source for board review and study, as a fellow this has been helpful to give me a grounding level of understanding, from which to proceed to more in-depth study. And when I take the board exam next year, this is going to be my capstone review material.

Great material easy read, good team with the Mayo Clinic Videos

I was reading the ACCSAP8 but decided to give this a try. The third edition is completely outdated but this version is spot on with current guidelines. Maybe there is some information with too much detail, then you just ignore it.

I am happy with the book but wish this came in PDF version. IT IS A PAIN TO CARRY THIS MONSTER AROUND! I am even thinking of ripping the book into 5 different sections because of how uncomfortable it is to read.

Maternal-fetal evidence based guidelines

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

Maternal-Fetal Medicine Evidence-Based Guidelines reviews the evidence for best practice in maternal-fetal medicine. It presents the reader with the right information, in the right format, by summarizing evidence in easy-to-use tables and algorithms.

Each guideline is designed to "make it easy to do it right", with appropriate use of proven interventions and no use of harmful interventions. Plenty of evidence is available so that well-informed clinicians can reduce errors, so that the first aim is ultimately to improve the health of mother and fetus by providing quality care.

Cancer as a metabolic disease : on the origin, management, and prevention of cancer

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

The book addresses controversies related to the origins of cancer and provides solutions to cancer management and prevention. It expands upon Otto Warburg's well-known theory that all cancer is a disease of energy metabolism. However, Warburg did not link his theory to the "hallmarks of cancer" and thus his theory was discredited. This book aims to provide evidence, through case studies, that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease requring metabolic solutions for its management and prevention. Support for this position is derived from critical assessment of current cancer theories. Brain cancer case studies are presented as a proof of principle for metabolic solutions to disease management, but similarities are drawn to other types of cancer, including breast and colon, due to the same cellular mutations that they demonstrate.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Compelling evidence to support cancer as a metabolic disease
Dr. Seyfried provides compelling evidence that cancer is a metabolic disease (NOT a genetic disease), and this has major implications for the treatment and prevention of cancer.

According to Otto Warburg's theory of cancer, mitochondrial dysfunction is the origin of cancer. Dr. Seyfried has amassed extensive evidence to support Warburg's theory and advances the idea that cancer arises from defects in energy metabolism (mitochondrial dysfunction), and that this metabolic dysfunction triggers genomic instability by activating oncogenes, inactivating tumor suppressor genes, etc. The author does an incredible job at convincing the reader that healthy mitochondria are the ultimate tumor suppressor.

It's clear that the strategy to treat cancer as a genetic disease is not working, but this fuels the pharmaceutical industry. Enormous amounts of money are spent on large cancer genome projects, but this has not advanced our understanding or treatment of cancer. The information from these genome projects has actually created more confusion amongst cancer researchers, and this is very clear if one reads the literature. On the other hand, when cancer is viewed as a metabolic disease the strategies to treat and prevent cancer become incredibly simplistic and economical. For example, animals studies, case reports and anecdotal evidence demonstrate that metabolic therapies that lower blood glucose and elevate ketones will shrink tumors, extend lifespan and in some cases cause complete remission. This strategy is effective because cancer cells are fueled by glucose and lack the ability to derive energy from ketones (due to mitochondrial defects). Metabolic therapies exploit the mitochondrial defects associated with cancer by targeting glucose metabolism and elevating ketones. These therapies are simple and include "therapeutic fasting", calorie restricted ketogenic diets and relatively cheap and safe drugs that target cancer-specific metabolic pathways. The information in this book is valuable to patients and supported by extensive references. This book is technical (in parts), but the author has the ability to describe complicated processes with elegant simplicity.

I read this book immediately after reading "The Secret History of the War on Cancer" and "The Emperor of All Maladies". These are excellent books, but I found Dr. Seyfried's book to be more informative and empowering because it gives the reader clear evidence for the cause of cancer and highly effective strategies to prevent and treat the disease.

I would highly recommend this book to all cancer researchers, oncologists and layman interested in understanding the origin, management and treatment of cancer as a metabolic disease. This book will also be an extremely valuable resource for patients diagnosed with cancer.
Dominic D'Agostino, PhD, University of South Florida

a new look at caloric restriction and cancer
It has been known for a long time that caloric restriction led to longevity but also that it stopped cancer growth, some completely and many partial suppression with later recurrences.

Dr. Seyfried spent his whole career looking at an old concept defining cancer as a metabolic abnormality (Warburg). The fact that our PET scans show high glucose uptake in almost all types of cancer proves that cancers have a unique metabolic abnormality unlike normal differentiated cells. Simply put cancer cells require large amounts of glucose, or sugar to survival and multiply.

The cancer cells have an inefficient metabolism utilizing fermentation or glycolysis instead of using mitochondria for a more efficient way of make ATP energy via oxidative phosphorylation.

Why our own medical profession has not looked into this feature of cancer for therapeutic strategies is also odd.
It is well know that Caloric Restriction stops cancer growth and many nutritional support such as macrobiotics and Hippocrates raw foods all have the common denominator of -- low calories with dense nutrition.

I suspect in the next 10 years there will be more discussions and research on use caloric restrictions, on use of alternative body fuel or energy source such as ketones, and glucose analogues, and ways to disrupt glycolysis and abnormal mitochondrial functions by using metabolic approaches to treat cancers.

I recommend this book to layman and professionals who are interested in the biology of cancers. top rating

Iconoclastic approach to cancer
Dr. Seyfried has distilled a life time of basic science investigation into a brilliant summary of the causes of cancer. Although heavily scientific it reads like a mystery novel.
He directly challenges the prevalent "gene theory" of cancer that forms the basis of virtually all investigative efforts into cancer. He then details the origin, scientific basis and practicality of the metabolic cause of cancer.
Most importantly, he proposes a paradigm shift in how we should at least consider treating malignancies and in particular, brain cancer.
Based on evolutionary biology this book makes sense! It should be read by every scientist involved with the biology and treatment of cancer and by laymen with a scientific background. It is one of the most important books I have read as a neurosurgeon dealing with brain tumor patients in over 25 years.

The Most Important Book about Cancer Cell Metabolism
I am a board-certified medical oncologist with 30 years experience in caring for cancer patients and another 20 years of research in cancer medicine dating back to 1963. Seyfried's "Cancer as a Metabolic Disease" is the most significant book I have read in my 50 years in this field. It should be required reading of all cancer specialists, physicians in general, scientific researchers in the field of cancer and for medical students. I cannot overstate what a valuable contribution Thomas Seyfried has made in writing this masterpiece.
Stephen B. Strum, MD, FACP
Medical Oncologist, Member of ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) since 1975

Are we ready for a paradigm shift?
Seyfried's marvelous book, highly technical and written for the cancer researcher, brings together the large body of research bearing on Nobel prize winner Otto Warburg's theories of the metabolic basis of cancer. It is an homage to Warburg and the depth and quality of his original work, a useful critique of the subsequent studies which refuted Warburg, and an extension of the metabolic theory making use of research completed since.

Seyfried systematically addreses this model of cancer from stem to stern, analyzing the studies to date in a way that illuminates the strengths and weaknesses of existing arguments within this field of study. (He also has a good sense of humor, and isn't afraid to call out colleagues who perhaps ought to address weak areas within their own arguments.)

My main criticism of the book is one common to most publications in the field: it provides only a narrow purview and fails to acknowledge the broader work done by those outside a given specilization. The therapies advocated by the author are useful in particular for noting the impact of glutamine levels as well as the sugar-loving nature of cancer, and using those in a restrictive dietary regimen. There are, however, a growing number of safe, gentle and effective therapeutic approaches to cancer based on the metabolic theory. As Warburg himself suspected, nutriton appears to be a powerful and central component of not only cancer prevention, but primary treatment and lifestyle changes as follow up.

On the whole, kudos for bringing attention back to the fundamentals! The depth of understanding provided by this "mega-review paper" should provide firm footing for those developing metabolic therapies. If this work is fully assimilated by the cancer industry, it could provide the basic scientific fuel for a major sea change in the way cancer medicine is practiced.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

THE reference textbook for grad studies
I purchased the 4th edition of Principles of Neural Science back in 2001, when I was studying at McGill in cognitive science and neuroscience. This was the most useful introduction on the subject matter of neuroscience, and its amazing breadth and depth was sufficient to cover all the basics and find references for further readings on specific topics.

I used it extensively when I started my PhD in cognitive science at Carleton University and had a challenging, full-year course in behavioral neuroscience. The fourth edition has aged well as an introduction, but the neuroscience community was longing for an update in a field which is less forgiving about years-old sources. It is sad that it took 12 years (!) for an update, but what an update it is!

The 5th edition clocks at 350 additional pages approximately, and while the original material has been preserved where it is required, it *has been updated*. Sections on cognitive processes and behavioral features have been added, more details on aging and neuropathologies/lesions, and of course, the artwork is wonderful. It is slightly more pedagogically-oriented, which was not even a shortcoming in the previous edition. Awesome updates on the reference material to cover the work between 2000 and 2008-ish (I know, it's not up to 2012, but that's how editing and publishing works, viz., slowly).

The icing on the cake is the new computational neuroscience stuff, which is to me invaluable, considering that I study cognitive science in general, and computational cognitive modeling in particular. Add appendices on the theory of neural wiring/engineering and computational modelling, and this is a good A+.

I might be biased, since I wanted this book to be awesome, but hey, they did it again.

Only gripe: at 1760 pages in hardcover format, it's heavy as hell and anyone under 125 pounds will likely hurt their back though, so carry this book in a cart or something ;-)

I wish there was an eBook format like epub or even pdf at an affordable price, at least for purchasers of the hardcover version! I would *love* to have this book on my iPad.

An excellent update
Having only read the 4th edition last year I was eager to see the newly updated version. It is bigger and better, with excellent photographs and charts and far greater detail than in the past. It's very readable as well, partly because there is enough repetition of these difficult concepts to make them understandable.

Authoritative and Comprehensive
This is the bible of Neuroscience - worth its weight in gold!
The depth to which Kandel et al go into the biochemistry all the way up to theory of mind is awe inspiring!
I recommend it to professionals and laymen alike.

Neuroscience's Bible
Doesn't matter if is your first contact with the subject or if you're trying understand more of a known issue, this book is ALWAYS the best starting point. It's my pillow book and i strongly recommend for everyone.

Evidence-based emergency care

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

This book for emergency physicians and fellows training in emergency medicine provides evidence-based information on what diagnostic tests to ask for and when and how to use particular decision rules. The new edition builds on the success of the current book by modifying the presentation of the evidence, increasing the coverage, and updating the current information throughout.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Choose Wisely by buying this book
There is an overall theme to modern health care; over testing, over diagnosing and therefore, over treating. This can have negative consequences. No treatments are benign and the risks are not worth it if there are no benefits.

That is why the Choose Wisely campaign was started. But how do emergency physicians choose what tests to order? This excellent resource book provides that guidance. Using the BEST evidence available they are able to direct clinicians into choosing wisely. It helps you decide on what investigations to order and how to apply these tests within a clinical decision framework.

Before any new ER resident orders their first test they should be required to read this book.

Great source for the lates evidence in the practice of emergency medicine
I really like this book, i was a fan of the 1st edition and now I am so exited to see the 2nd edition coming out. In the era of over utilization and sucking the medical system resources, this book comes to make it very practical and easy to use EBM on your daily practice of emergency medicine. I believe that it's well written, easy to read and interpret, and its size is compact and fits everywhere. Highly recommend.

Excellent primer on EBD
This book fills an important gap in the body of work about evidence based medicine in the ED, and is a comprehensive and well-written primer to the topic. It is a readable, practical guide that provides clear assistance for decision-making for any clinician in the ED. The second edition is an improvement on the first, with well-chosen new research and examples. This is an excellent book and should be on the shelf of all in the emergency medicine field.

Learning strabismus surgery : a case-based approach

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

From surgical planning and patient prep, to the latest tools and techniques, The LASIK Handbook: A Case-Based Approach uses real-world examples and straightforward language to help readers optimize results and avoid potential pitfalls.

The text is patient-focused rather than technology-focused and leads the refractive surgeon through a series of real life cases in a progression from the more straight-forward to the increasingly complex with useful take home points in each surgical planning, technique and management of complications are reviewed in a case-based contemporary approach relevant no matter your level of experience.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

The best resource by far
This is by far the best manual I have seen on LASIK surgery. It is very concise and readable, but with a wealth of reference material applicable to the latest equipment and techniques. It is appropriate for both the beginning LASIK surgeon and the experienced practitioner. It is well illustrated, and has easy to use tables and nomograms on everything from ablation calculations to microkeratomes and IntraLase. It also includes some bonus material on other refractive procedures, such as nomograms for limbal relaxing incisions. The best part, though, are the case studies, of which there are MANY, covering everything from basic myopic LASIK, to handling of the most serious complications in refractive surgery. All of the cases are indexed and cross-referenced for topic and equipment used, which makes it easy to see how others have handled different situations when you have a patient with an issue. I am a practicing LASIK surgeon, and I thoroughly recommend this book.

Neuroimaging in forensic psychiatry : from the clinic to the courtroom

簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：

This important volume is the first to address the use of neuroimaging in civil and criminal forensic contexts and to include discussion of prior precedents and court decisions. Equally useful for practicing psychiatrists and psychologists, it reviews both the legal and ethical consideraitons of neuroimaging.

Customer Reviews from Amazon :

Neuroimaging and Forensic Psychiatry
This book credibly fills a void in an important forensic area. It contains chapters on relevant subject areas written by an impressive collection of authors recognized as leaders in their research and publications. It is concisely written and comprehensible even to the lay reader.

This book is essential reading for all forensic psychiatrists and psychologists. It is also highly relevant and illuminating to general psychiatrists, psychologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons and radiologists. It is a useful resource for prosecutors and criminal defense attorneys. It would serve as a practical reference for civil injury, disability and workers' compensation attorneys. It would be helpful to judges, prison/jail authorities and both parole and probation officers. The information in this book could assist medical, psychiatric and psychiatric treatment teams in penal institutions.

The text contains a though balanced discussion of the scientific data. There is direct analysis of the application of the science to critical legal issues.

The reader learns an awareness of the advances in the field which will eventually lead to more use in both civil and criminal cases. There is a provocative discussion of where science meets concepts of causation and criminal responsibility. One is left with a humbling appreciation of the complexity and limits of the field.

This book should be a required reading in any forensic teaching program. The value of this text will only increase over time as the science and its forensic applications expand.

Groundbreaking Science in the Interface of Law, the Brain and Neuroimaging
this book presents groundbreaking science at the interface of law and psychiatry. It is well presented and referenced. It is a must for any forensic psychologist/ psychiatrist. You cannot think about forensic cases any more without reference to neurolaw and this book opens new pathways to thinking about the interface and the benefits of neuroimaging for our clients and patients. The future is now.

Excellent professional resource
This book is both practical and has sufficient depth on all aspects of neuroimaging evidence. I am using it as a handbook but I think that it is also an excellent resource for the students at the graduate and undergraduate level.
