Book Description:
This richly illustrated book provides a comprehensive survey of the growing role of medical imaging studies in the detection, staging, grading, tissue characterization, and post-treatment follow-up of soft tissue tumors. For each tumor group, imaging findings are correlated with clinical, epidemiologic, and histologic data. The relative merits and indications of various imaging modalities are discussed and compared. Particular emphasis is placed on MRI because of its unique contrast resolution and multiplanar imaging capabilities. This third, revised and updated edition includes new chapters on genetics and molecular biology and on pathology of soft tissue tumors, with respect to the new World Health Organization (WHO) classification of soft tissue tumors. It aims to serve both as a systematic, descriptive textbook and as a rich pictorial database of soft tissue masses. The addition of numerous new illustrations of common and rare soft tissue tumors will further increase the scientific and educational value of this third edition.

Book Description:
In recent years, the imaging-based diagnosis of mass liver lesions has become increasingly complex due to the number and morphological variability of lesions that modern imaging techniques are currently able to display. If the sensitivity in detection has greatly increased, characterisation has remained difficult and represents a critical challenge for the clinician.The availability of blood-pool contrast agents for ultrasound (US), in particular second-generation US contrast agents based on perfluorocarbon- or sulfur-hexafluoride-filled microbubbles, and the development of contrast-specific software and technologies have opened up new perspectives both for the immediate characterisation of any mass lesion detected in the liver and for increasing the sensitivity of US in the detection of liver metastases.Taking into account the great impact of this new technology on clinical practice, the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) organised, in January 2004, in Rotterdam, a consensus meeting of experts in order to develop guidelines for the use of US contrast agents in the diagnosis of liver diseases . These guidelines, as well as discussions of further advances in the clinical application of contrast-enhanced harmonic US are presented in this book by an internationally renowned group of experts. The book represents provides an important starting point for clinical implementation of this new diagnostic procedure.

It's not a book, it's a CD-ROM but it delivers what it promises: a Herbal Pharmacy.

It's the best herbal Materia Medica program I know of, with close to 300 plants and about 100 formulas. The information is accurate, too - Brigitte has been a practising herbalist for quite a few years.

Welcome to The Herbal Pharmacy CD Rom. We hope that this CD will help you benefit from the wonderful healing properties of plants as well as guide you to using them safely and effectively. Herbal medicine is one of the most time-tested human traditions on the face of the Earth. The information you are about to read has been well researched, and although the modern scientific method has given us great insights into herbs, more research is needed and will certainly continue. Nonetheless, herbal medicine has benefited millions of people for thousands of years. I myself have been a practitioner for over 27 years, and my undiminished enthusiasm for herbal healing stems from my experiences of seeing herbs help many lives. A bibliography is also provided which will, I hope, guide you to some of the excellent and detailed literature available in the field of herbal medicine.

Health is a gift that makes life worthwhile. Herbs can certainly help us along that path, but they should not be relied upon simply as a band-aid to fix a health problem. I encourage you to look deeply at the causes of illness and seek to live a healthier lifestyle whenever possible. This includes having healthy relationships, eating a wholesome diet, and exercising. We must also avoid the things that damage health, such as stress, smoking, exposure to pollutants, and an unhealthy lifestyle.

Provided in this program is information on how to use herbs, as well as herbal blends. Each herbal description includes contraindictions, such as dangerous side effects, to which you should pay careful attention. Many of the contraindications only occur in extremely large doses and would never be a problem with normal use. However, there are some plants that should best be used with professional counsel, and many should be avoided during pregnancy. In listing contraindications, I have chosen to err on the side of safety, rather than ignore any potential dangers. Remember just because something is from a plant does not mean it is appropriate for everyone to use at all times.

In Chinese medicine, different foods have different characteristics, described as energetics. This program is not intended to teach Chinese herbalism, but it does provide the energetics for each herb. I must admit that not everyone agrees on whether an herb is cool, cold or warm. As American herbalism evolves the use of energetics will become a more genuine and accurate part of our own healing tradition, with more agreement between herbal practitioners.

Even though some of the constituents of the plants are listed, herbalists usually prefer to use plants in a more whole form. I firmly believe that using the entire herb, with all of its components, is more effective and often safer than using any one component. Many herbs are becoming endangered. Please support local organic farming by buying herbs from reputable sources, and please avoid harvesting any endangered species. With the burgeoning interest in herbs, we must be careful not to threaten any more species, and you should consider the joy that comes from growing some of these plants yourself.

Does Consciousness Cause Behavior?

* ISBN / ASIN: 0262162377

* Binding: Hardcover
* Manufacturer: The MIT Press

Our intuition tells us that we, our conscious selves, cause our own voluntary acts. Yet scientists have long questioned this; Thomas Huxley, for example, in 1874 compared mental events to a steam whistle that contributes nothing to the work of a locomotive. New experimental evidence (most notable, work by Benjamin Libet and Daniel Wegner) has brought the causal status of human behavior back to the forefront of intellectual discussion. This multidisciplinary collection advances the debate, approaching the question from a variety of perspectives.

The contributors begin by examining recent research in neuroscience that suggests that consciousness does not cause behavior, offering the outline of an empirically based model that shows how the brain causes behavior and where consciousness might fit in. Other contributors address the philosophical presuppositions that may have informed the empirical studies, raising questions about what can be legitimately concluded about the existence of free will from Libet's and Wegner's experimental results. Others examine the effect recent psychological and neuroscientific research could have on legal, social, and moral judgments of responsibility and blame--in situations including a Clockwork Orange-like scenario of behavior correction.

The grotesque has an allure that cannot be denied, and the Atlas of Emergency Medicine is a study in that fascination. But it's also an excellent reference for paramedics and EMTs. Full of color photos identifying femur fractures, lymphangitis, digital clubbing, and scarlet fever, the book is divided between "Regional Anatomy" (covering facial trauma, chest and abdominal conditions, extremity trauma, and the like) and "Specialty Areas" (with pediatric and environmental conditions, child abuse, and microscopic findings). With glistening photos of conditions such as sublingual ranula and suppurative parotidsialoadenitis plus pictures distinguishing between dry, wet, and gas gangrene, the atlas is an emergency room necessity that has addictive appeal for nonprofessionals with strong stomachs.

Book Description

Medicine Across Cultures: The History and Practice of Medicine in Non-Western Cultures consists of 19 essays dealing with the medical knowledge and beliefs of cultures outside of the United States and Europe. In addition to articles surveying Islamic, Chinese, Native American, Aboriginal Australian, Indian, Egyptian, and Tibetan medicine, the book includes essays on comparing Chinese and western medicine and religion and medicine. The essays address the connections between medicine and culture and relate the medical practices to the cultures which produced them. Each essay is well illustrated and contains an extensive bibliography. Because the geographic range is global, the book fills a gap in both the history of medicine and in cultural studies. It should find a place on the bookshelves of advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and scholars, as well as in libraries serving those groups.

Summary:

From The New England Journal of Medicine, December 7, 2000
Recent changes in the delivery of health care in the United States include the creation in many hospitals of positions staffed by internists whose entire or principal focus is the treatment of patients admitted to hospital wards. This new function differs from the role of the primary care physician, who is responsible for the treatment of patients in all care settings, ranging from outpatient clinics to inpatient service. Those who fill hospital positions often serve the needs of an academic medical center or a managed-care system, and this new kind of practitioner has been dubbed the "hospitalist." The editors of this textbook are among the academicians who first described the emergence of this phenomenon, and as they note in the preface to this book, there is no textbook for this new niche of internal medicine that uses the hospital admission as the unit of analysis. This textbook is an excellent attempt to fill this need and provides much essential information for the hospitalist. It should be equally useful for general internists, family practitioners, and physicians in training.

Hospital Medicine is extremely well organized and user-friendly. The structure of individual chapters facilitates scanning for information; there is a statement of key points at the conclusion of each chapter. Chapters also conclude with lists of core references and recommended additional reading. The introductory chapters identify and discuss general issues and survey management problems common to many hospitalized patients. They also describe important tools of the trade of the hospitalist: practice guidelines, clinical pathways, quality improvement, and decision analysis. The themes of evidence-based, cost-effective, and protocol-based care resonate throughout the book and are woven into discussions of the management of individual disorders. Algorithms and critical pathways are reasonably embedded in the discussion of the particular clinical entity and do not suggest a cookbook approach to care.

A section on consultation medicine is clear and succinct. It contains excellent chapters on preoperative evaluation, postoperative care, and medical complications of pregnancy that have relevance for consultation by a general internist to patients whose cases are managed primarily by surgeons and obstetricians.

The core of the book consists of chapters describing 75 of the most common conditions leading to the hospitalization of adults. These topics include almost all of the problems that would confront a clinician on the wards of a community or academic hospital. Much of this information is organized according to organ system, and introductory chapters discuss relevant signs, symptoms, and laboratory abnormalities. These chapters discuss practical aspects of treating inpatients, including indications for hospitalization, triage to monitoring environments in the hospital, cost considerations, resource use, and discharge from the hospital.

Some of the topics are peripheral to the typical practice of a hospitalist -- lung, heart, liver, and bone marrow transplantation; lung-reduction surgery; and leukemia. I also wonder about the usefulness of the chapters on critical care medicine. In some hospitals, intensivists have expanded their activity to include the evaluation and management of ward patients. For these subspecialists, the information that is provided on critical care medicine would be unnecessary, and it would most likely be insufficient to enable generalists without training in critical care to treat unstable patients with respiratory failure or multisystem organ failure. Nonetheless, it is probably best to be inclusive rather than exclusive in a book such as this, since in some environments hospitalists may provide cross-coverage in these complicated cases that typically require multiple subspecialists. It is also true that, in the rapidly changing models of care and practice, the focus and boundaries of the role of the hospitalist have not yet been fully defined, and refinement of the information base that is appropriate for practice as a hospitalist will no doubt continue in subsequent editions of this book.

How does Hospital Medicine differ from a standard internal-medicine textbook? Although much of the disease-specific information overlaps with that provided in such books, the organization of Hospital Medicine enables it to describe many clinical problems as they are typically encountered and managed over the course of an entire hospitalization, with emphasis on the practice of evidence-based medicine by a hospital-based internist. The reader is led through a logical and clear sequence of diagnostic and therapeutic management steps that will be useful with any patient whose admission to the hospital is precipitated by one of the clinical entities covered here, and whose course is dominated almost entirely by that entity. A challenge for these educators as they refine the syllabus for hospitalist medicine will be to present this information in ways that make it applicable to patients with multiple chronic and acute problems, a reality that is all too common in most hospitals. In the meantime, Hospital Medicine should serve as an extremely valuable guide to the care of the hospitalized patient.

Book Description
This book presents an engaging, detailed portrait of the people, ideas, and beliefs that made up the world of English medieval medicine between 750 and 1450, a time when medical practice extended far beyond modern definitions. The institutions of court, church, university, and hospital--which would eventually work to separate medical practice from other duties--had barely begun to exert an influence in medieval England, writes Faye Getz. Sufferers could seek healing from men and women of all social ranks, and the healing could encompass spiritual, legal, and philosophical as well as bodily concerns. Here the author presents an account of practitioners (English Christians, Jews, and foreigners), of medical works written by the English, of the emerging legal and institutional world of medicine, and of the medical ideals present among the educated and social elite.

How medical learning gained for itself an audience is the central argument of this book, but the journey, as Getz shows, was an intricate one. Along the way, the reader encounters the magistrates of London, who confiscate a bag said by its owner to contain a human head capable of learning to speak, and learned clerical practitioners who advise people on how best to remain healthy or die a good death. Islamic medical ideas as well as the poetry of Chaucer come under scrutiny. Among the remnants of this far distant medical past, anyone may find something to amuse and something to admire.

Summary:
Although its roots date back to the early decades of the 20th century, critical care medicine did not emerge as a specialty in medicine until the 1970’s. Over the last 30 years or so, the field of critical care medicine has grown tremendously and there is now a solid body of scientific information that forms the foundation for the practice of critical care medicine. But, now as physicians and hospitals around the world focus to an ever greater extend on providing high quality care, the practice of critical care medicine will continue to grow in visibility and importance among clinicians and the general public as well. This book seeks to identify the trends in critical care medicine that will form the basis for practice over the next ten years. Predicting the future is always risky. Nevertheless, the ideas articulated in this book are likely to serve as a road map for intensivists, hospital administrators and governmental leaders interested in healthcare, as they seek to improve the quality and efficiency of hospital-based services.
