Customer Reviews from Amazon:

極好very nice book
This book is better than Rhoton neurosurgery. Eazy to identify location of nerve or other strucure.It's nice book.

極好Perfect!
European style (from american authors) neurosurgical book about cranial base surgical approaches (extremely detailed) which is very helpful for everyone. Must be complemented reading Rothon's temporal bone. Visual depiction is flawless, picture size is appropriate, not IMAX :) but those who have even minimal surgical experience will find it useful.

MRI for orthopaedic surgeons


簡介
(Book Description from Amazon):
Designed specifically for orthopedic surgeons involved in the review of musculoskeletal MRIs, this book enables clinicians to develop a systematic approach to the interpretation of MRI studies. It opens by providing clinicians with a solid understanding of essential concepts, including the physics of MRI, various pulse sequences available for obtaining an MRI, and normal MRI anatomy. The authors then present an overview of core concepts of image interpretation and step-by-step guidance on how to determine which pulse sequences have been utilized, how to evaluate images, and how to correlate imaging findings with patient history and clinical presentation. The remaining sections of the book present protocols for acquiring and interpreting MRIs of the upper extremity, lower extremity, and spine. Additional chapters cover special considerations for imaging articular cartilage and soft-tissue and bone tumors, as well as advanced techniques such as MR arthrography and MR angiography, correlation with other imaging modalities, and safety issues.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

極好Excellent resource
As a soon-to-be interventional pain fellow I need to be solid in my ability to read, understand, and interpret MRI imaging, especially of the spine. This book is providing that for me. I've just recently purchased it and have gone through a few chapters. It's easy to read and understand and is providing just the right amount of information. It nails down key points and common findings and simplifies the learning process in a step-like fashion. I like that the images are clear and that normal ones are compared to varying degrees of abnormal ones. It has definitely strengthened my ability to recognize MRI findings, especially the degenerative ones that are ubiquitous in the world of pain. I find that I pick up almost all, if not all, abnormalities that are written on the radiology report. I also like that I now understand when to use the different pulse sequences to help confirm different findings. Definitely an excellent resource and one that every pain doc or anyone who wants to have a better understanding of reading MRIs should be required to own. I'm really looking forward to going through the rest of the book.

極好Clinical Manual of Prevention in Mental Health
This book sythesizes the information from public health and mental health disciplines to provide guidance on preventive approaches in clinical psychiatry. It will appeal to a wide audience of mental health and behavioral science practitioners. However, it should also be reccommended reading for students and trainees.

(點選圖片可預覽部份內容)


簡介
(Book Description from Amazon):
Pharmacists can make a critical difference in the quality of emergency care. Always unpredictable, often overcrowded with "boarded" patients, and a 24/7 high- stress environment, the Emergency Department can be an area of the hospital most prone to medication errors, many which can result in adverse drug events.Safe and Effective Medication Use in the Emergency Departmentis an important new work developed to improve medication safety and direct patient care in the Emergency Department.It is an informative and practical "how-to" guide for pharmacy directors, clinical coordinators, emergency medicine physicians, nurses, and administrators seeking to improve medication safety in the emergency department. Help your hospital assure that emergency care pharmacotherapeutic principles are being implemented and the medication needs of your ED patients are being met safely and effectively.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

極好Excellent Guide for Practice in the ED
This is a great book for those new to the field of pharmacy practice in the ED or those looking to improve their practice in the ED. It has made my transition into ED practice a much smoother one. By having read ahead of time about where errors in the ED tend to occur it was easier to anticipate where I could make interventions. Sections I have gone back to several times are the toxicology chapter and the quick reference tables in the appendix.

極好Essential Reference for ER Healthcare Workers
Safe and Effective Medication Use in the Emergency Department is an essential addition to the library of any health care worker in the emergency department. It outlines specific practices that not only will increase the efficiency of the pharmacist but helps the ER to implement a program for the clinical pharmacist. It can also help any pharmacist or pharmacy student decide whether or not a career or residency in the ER would be right for their specific personality. If you are already practicing in the ER it gives many ideas on how to expand upon the services that the ED already offers. I would highly recommend this book because it has been a tremendous reference in helping me transition from a pharmacy student to a pharmacist working in the ER.

極好A step-by-step guide to improving pharmacy services in the ED
I just finished reading the book, Safe and Effective Medication Use in the Emergency Department and I must say it is very well written, detailed, and usable. I was very impressed with how comprehensive it was in explaining every aspect of pharmacist involvement in the ED. I especially enjoyed how frequently the book gives real world examples of the author's own work site as a way of showing how good concepts become practice. The book is nothing short of a step-by-step guide on how to be a pharmacist in the emergency department. This is a must read for any pharmacist interested in ED pharmacy whether you are new to the profession or a seasoned professional, there is a great deal of experience and knowledge contained in this publication. The topics have already been essential to my own practice.

I was highly impressed with the layout of this review book. I like the way there are charts in each chapter that provide a summary of the key points. The review questions, at the end of each chapter, provide real world scenarios in which we may come across as a Sonographer. In addition, it comes with online access so that you can take mock registry exams; which is great practice for students.

Coloproctology



(點選圖片可預覽部份內容)


簡介
(Book Description from Amazon):
Coloproctology is a surgical specialty which dynamically changes every few years. There is a profusion of colorectal textbooks but specialty series on particularly complex topics as well as on the specialized management approach for trainees and training colorectal surgeons are actually few. The aim of this text is a superior quality colorectal book written by world experts targeted at senior surgical and colorectal trainees and young consultant coloproctologists in current areas of subspecialty expertise. The structure of the chapters is current and is based on what does not appear and is not addressed in current colorectal textbooks. This series has proven useful in areas already represented, including Neurosurgery, Vascular Surgery, Transplantation Surgery, etc. The text is aimed at being relatively didactic with an algorithm approach to specialized areas within coloproctology which could potentially be updated every 3 years or so with new topics to create a set for didactic training in colorectal surgery. It is anticipated that these texts will become valuable teaching textbooks and part of every coloproctologist’s armamentarium as well as appealing to all general surgeons and surgical trainees engaged in complex elective and emergency colorectal surgery.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

極好very useful in bedside teaching
I recommended this book because I found it is very useful in bedside teaching, for CR and fellow. It focus on something that are interesting only by colorectal surgeon /proctologist. Though it is not a textbook, I also recommended this for fellow/young attending. The book is writing by many authors, bibliography as listed in Amazon web. Anyway, the writing style is friendly reading. The cited references are up-to-date. And even the long term results were well collected. For example, the long term result of glue for anal fistula is not as good as initial report. For example, the BRAF/KRAS gene mutation related with CIMP. For example, the debate on surgical timing of sigmoid diverticulitis. But, this also makes it not a textbook level for junior residents, because they have no ideas of those trials/meta-analysis reports. They may miss in the tables or flow chart, without supervised. The only disadvantage that I could find are lacking of robotic surgery/single-port/NOTEs comments, lacking of anal fistula ligation introduction, lacking of colonoscopy screening policy changing since last year. Reading this book bring me a lot of fun.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

極好Showing the fascinating complexity of Gait Analysis
A previous writers tries to tell us, that gait analysis with our own eyes and understanding is outdated in a high tech world. I disagree. As it is true for many steps in the process of finding the reasons of disorder and disfunction and working on solutions, as medical doctor or as physiotherapist, it is allways the core of real quality if one understands by himself and his education in the field, what some high tech apparatus tries to tell him, sometimes telling it wrong. So giving up all your knowledge and expertise into the hands of a computer, or even showing that you have no interest to get this knowledge in the first place, is a sure way to failure in the medical field. And by the way, gait analysis isnt some dry, boring stuff, in fact, it is fascinating to realize how very important it is to be able to identify the different stages of this very short moment, to find the fitting solution for your therapy. I am just a beginner after completing a first course in gait analysis lead by a german pupil of Jacquelin Perry, and as a doctor in a rehab clinic I can tell you, its very up to date. And talking about the high tech world, who is able to buy a technical system, the hard- and software for gait analysis, for example as a simple practitioner? Better take your time to get some education by experienced gait instructors, read this book and all what you need is in your head and hands, plus eventually a small camera to make a short clip for analysis and presentation on a Monitor.

極好Walking and
Ever wondered about what goes into being ambulatory? How humans got together the act of being bipedal? And what goes wrong sometimes? This book is a wonderful collection of data, well illustrated, about the mechanics of walking.

極好great condition
Just as described in the seller's add. no problems. would buy from again.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

極好[...] Book Review
A Comprehensive Balance and Mobility Training Program Having had the privilege of reviewing the first edition of this text nearly 7 years ago, I was pleased to learn that its success had led to the development of a second edition. Back in 2003, FallProof! brought balance and mobility, two of the most fundamental components of independent living, to the attention of a broader audience of physical activity professionals. For the first time, an integrated program of assessments and exercises aimed at improving the fall risk profile of older individuals was outlined in text form. During the intervening years, FallProof has gained an impressive amount of momentum. Its consistently positive results have served as a model for centers across the country. This has created a need for professionals with a special skill set. The Center for Successful Aging at California State University at Fullerton, the birthplace of the FallProof! program, has facilitated this process by creating a new Balance and Mobility Specialist Instructor certification. FallProof!: A Comprehensive Balance and Training Mobility Training Program 2nd Edition begins with a solid introduction to the concept of balance, including an appropriately detailed overview of the sensory systems involved and how aging impacts them. The next section contains several chapters which detail each step of the program, from initial assessment of participants through illustrations of exercises that address each of 6 training components (center-of-gravity control, multisensory, postural strategy, gait pattern enhancement and variation, strength and conditioning, and flexibility). The exercise chapters have plenty of photos which illustrate proper form for the more complex exercises. The final section contains 2 chapters which offer practical guidance on implementing the program in terms of class management and interacting with participants to gain the best results. This text also serves as the text for the Balance and Mobility Specialist Instructor certification and thus has some built-in "study-friendly" features, such as chapter objectives, boxed key points and reminders, and multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter. The 2nd edition has the added value of a DVD companion which includes footage of demo exercises and a class in action. This book is highly recommended to all healthcare professionals involved in the care of older individuals. Falls remain a major threat to independent living. Given the association of falls requiring hospitalization with further morbidities, there are few preventative measures that can be taken with the same potential for improving quality of life as balance and mobility improvement.

極好A key acquisition for any adult health-oriented library
Debra J. Rose's FALLPROOF! A COMPREHENSIVE BALANCE AND MOBILITY TRAINING PROGRAM includes a DVD video featuring testing procedures, training strategies and a sample class and provides a fine survey of a successful mobility training program no health collection should be without. There are very few specific classes on mobility, making this a key acquisition for any adult health-oriented library, especially libraries catering to senior patrons.

簡介(Book Description from Amazon):
Assessment and Treatment of Muscle Imbalance: The Janda Approach blends postural techniques, neurology, and functional capabilities in order to alleviate chronic musculoskeletal pain and promote greater functionality. Developed by Vladimir Janda, respected neurologist and physiotherapist , the Janda approach presents a unique perspective to rehabilitation. In contrast to a more traditional structural view, the Janda approach is functional—emphasizing the importance of the sensorimotor system in controlling movement and chronic musculoskeletal pain syndromes from sports and general activities. Assessment and Treatment of Muscle Imbalance: The Janda Approach is the only text to offer practical, evidence-based application of Janda’s theories.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

It is too bad that Dr.Vladimir Janda is not among us anymore. He is a genius who brought us inside treating muscular skeletal problems. Fortunately, a set of amazing clinicians wrote a nice book to bring his ideas all together. The book is easy to read, has lots of pictures and, best of all, it is all evidence-based practice. For anybody who treats muscular skeletal problems, this book will be extremely helpful. If you apply his methods, you will get results.

極好A Must Read!
Finally! A comprehensive review of Vladimir Janda's work from people who worked side by side with him during his amazing life and career. Up to this point, it has been a challenge to find written works from Janda. Now, we have it all in one incredible book, which we can use for direct therapeutic application as well as reference.

The human amygdala


(點選圖片可預覽部份內容)


簡介(Book Description from Google):
Building on pioneering animal studies, and making use of new, noninvasive techniques for studying the human brain, research on the human amygdala has blossomed in recent years. This comprehensive volume brings together leading authorities to synthesize current knowledge on the amygdala and its role in psychological function and dysfunction. Initial chapters discuss how animal models have paved the way for work with human subjects. Next, the book examines the amygdala's involvement in emotional processing, learning, memory, and social interaction. The final section presents key advances in understanding specific clinical disorders: anxiety disorders, depression, schizophrenia, autism, and Alzheimer's disease. Illustrations include 39 color plates.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

極好SMELL AND GRASP OF FEAR
"The Human Amygdala" edited by Paul J. Whalen, and Elizabeth A. Phelps is the most up to date book (2009) that brings together the previous years of scientific research and study on the structure and function of the human amygdala. Brain imaging, and work with non-human primates elucidate aspects of mechanisms of the amygdala in the detection of fear, the role of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex in modulating the amygdala, memory, the interplay of social interactions, and in neuropsychiatric disorders especially in autism and schizophrenia. The chapters are clear and lucid. The chapters offer an overlapping perspective that makes the wealth of knowledge easier to grasp. At the end of each chapter there is a section called "What I Think" that gives a concise integrated summary of the chapter by the authors. The illustrations and images are clear, heuristic and the ones in color add to the overall understanding of the concepts. This book has some 40 contributors. This highly readable book on the amygdala is right up there in scientific rigor, in the brain/behavior insights it provides, and the effort that must have brought it to fruition. This gem of a book is in league with the best books oF recent Brain/Behavior such as: The erudite and concise book "Anatomy of Neuropsychiatry: The new Anatomy of the Basal Forebrain and its Implications for Neuropsychiatric Illness" (2008) by Heimer et al., The all encompassing (872 pages) "The Hippocampus Book "(2006) by Anderson et al., The easy to read "The Prefrontal Cortex, "4th Edition (2008) by single author Joaquin Fuster, and the encyclopedic "The Human Frontal Lobes 2nd Edition: Functions and Disorders" (2007). by Bruce Miller, MD (editor).

This is the perfect book for residents starting their junior spine rotation and wanting to develop a fluency in this discipline.

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

極好Neurosurgery review books at their best
This is a perfect example of works that matured over the years into a kind of a legend. It's an excellent review source for board exams and the FRCS(SN). Personally, I think it's a must have for neurosurgical residents and registrars. Having said that, I must say, this book is NOT "neurosurgery for dummies". It is only a review book designed to draw your attention to important points and emphasize its significance. It's not designed to cover all and everything you need to know!. PROS: 1) It is much more refined than the previous edition. 2) It is much more organised 3) Appears to Include Citow's other books under one cover. I don't recommend buying them if you buy this one. i.e. a) "Neuoradiology and neuropathology :a review" --> LINK : Neuropathology and Neuroradiology: A Review b) "Neuroanatomy and neuropysiology :A review" --> LINK :Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology: A Review CONS: 1) All in American units ... Any edition for the European market? 2) Errors in the book i.e some "RIGHT side" miraculously became "LEFT side" in the book. If you are considering something to cover the whole curriculum to go along with the comprehensive neurosurgery board review then consider the following new release....--> LINK The Neurosurgeon's Handbook The neurosurgeons hand book promises to be a very refined handbook for neurosurgeons pretty similar to the Oxford hand book series and perhaps a European contender to the legendary Greenberg Handbook of neurosurgery --> Handbook of Neurosurgery

Customer Reviews from Amazon:

極好Beyond the valley of clinical skills
Recently completed a semester using this book as one of the primary texts while teaching a graduate course at Caldwell College entitled "Ethics and Professionalism for Behavior Analysts." Universally, my advanced level behavior analysis grad students all had wished that they had read this book earlier in their careers. They had nothing but praise for it. This text is highly recommended for behavior analysts who assert that their good clinical skills alone will propoel them towards success. They might find that there is a whole new set of skills they had not thought about before!

簡介(Book Description from Google):
This book provides clinicians treating athletes at the point of care with concise, practical keys to evaluation and functional treatment of sports-related problems. It is organized by chief complaint and guides clinicians to a rational differential diagnosis, a thorough history and physical exam, appropriate diagnostic testing, an accurate diagnosis, a sports-specific treatment plan, and safe return-to-play recommendations. Bulleted sections, icons, and a uniform layout help readers quickly find key information to make a diagnosis, order tests, initiate treatment, recognize indications for referral, and identify red flags. Appendices describe injection techniques and detail progressive return-to-play programs for throwing and running athletes.

極好Great Sports Medicine Text
A great sports medicine book that approaches sports medicine conditions from a problem based approach. This is very useful as patients present with problems not diagnosis. Key information is easily accessible. I have found the layout easy to read and a great resource for a busy practice.

極好Great Arthrography Book!
I have not found an arthrography book that I thought was good. This book discusses everything you need to know for doing the arthrogram. The book also has lots of pictures with cross sectional anatomy. Great book!
