Microbiology in your pocket

簡介(Book Description from Amazon)：

Microbiology in Your Pocket: Quick Pathogen Review by Melphine Harriott is a concise guide to common and rare bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that begins with pathogens that infect the nervous system and ends with pathogens infecting multiple organs. The presentation of material by organ system facilitates easy organization and provides versatility of use.

Each card presents similar information with variations due to inherent pathogen differences. On the front is an introduction to each pathogen with clinical vignettes and images. The back provides the taxonomy or morphology, infections, pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention, treatment options, and an explanation.

✯✯✯✯✯
As a second-year medical student preparing to take USMLE STEP 1, I cannot over-emphasize how pivotal these flash cards have been in my preparation… I only wish I had known about them sooner! I really like that they are organized/color-coded by pathogen type (Gram (-) = purple, Gram (+) = pink etc.) and organ system. Each card contains a clinical vignette as well as an explanation on the reverse side. The reverse side of each card contains a description of the organism, the type of infections it may cause, information about its life cycle, as well as how to diagnose and treat it. Talk about everything you need all in one place! The pictures are high quality and the book even comes with an online companion website with animations. You can tell that the author really took the time to develop a study tool truly unlike anything on the market. Dare I say they are even more high yield than Sketchy Micro? (In my opinion, YES!).

✯✯✯✯✯
As a current medical student, it only took me a few pages to realize that this is truly a great resource for someone preparing for an upcoming board exam! The layout of each page is succinct and easy to navigate, and the booklet is organized by systems-based chapters that helps group organisms together cohesively while studying. The detail I like the most is the cross-referencing to other organisms and infections, because comparing/contrasting similar information is constantly a challenge. There are online animations as well, which keep things simplified and hit the major concepts quickly. I highly recommend this awesome resource to other students!

ECG interpretation for the clinical exercise physiologist

簡介(Book Description from Google)：
ECG Interpretation for the Clinical Exercise Physiologist shows students how to accurately read and interpret ECG's. Moreover, because it's written for exercise science students, clinical exercise physiologists and exercise specialists, it enables them to tailor stress tests and cardiac rehabilitation programs to meet the needs of their patients. Beginning with an introduction to basic concepts and measurements, the book explores rhythm and atrioventricular blocks followed by discussions of such key topics as infarct, hypertrophy, axis, and conduction defects. The two authors, a clinical exercise physiologist and a cardiologist, offer an approach consistent with the ACSM's Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA's). Rather than rote memorization, they emphasize real-world case studies and knowledge-building activities to deepen understanding.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

Excellent book to review ECG interpretation for exercise physiologists
This is great book for EKG students. I would highly recommend this book. You will get an idea of all kind of EKG patterns.

Great Book
Found it very well-written, complete and easy to follow. The web materials were great. Highly recommend this book and website for anyone interested in learning EKG.

Forget Dubin
This book is so far ahead of Dubin...I am not a Clinical Exercise Physiologist, but I was told about this book and tried it. Some 12 lead issues that were a little fuzzy before became very clear after reading this. The rhythm section is also very good and the website that comes with it is great. Love it and would recomend it to anyone who really wants to learn EKG.

Human herpesviruses : biology, therapy, and immunoprophylaxis

簡介：
This definitive and comprehensive account of the human herpes viruses provides an encyclopedic overview of their basic virology and clinical manifestations. This group of viruses includes human simplex type 1 and 2, Epstein Barr virus, cytomegalovirus and varicella-zoster virus. The diseases they cause are significant and often recurrent. Their prevalence in the developed world accounts for a major burden of disease, and as a result there is a great deal of research into the pathophysiology if infection and immunobiology. Another important area covered within this volume concerns antiviral therapy and the development of vaccines. All these aspects are covered in depth and the volume is fully up to date both scientifically and in terms of clinical guidelines for patient care. The text is generously illustrated throughout and fully referenced to the latest research and developments.
