Pathophysiology: Concepts of Altered Health States, 8th ed. 2009



Pathophysiology Concepts of Altered Health States
Carol Mattson Porth and Glenn Matfin
ISBN-10: 0781766168
ISBN-13: 978-0781766166




This is the Eighth Edition of the comprehensive and well-respected text and reference of pathophysiology. As a nurse-physiologist, Carol Porth uniquely emphasizes "concepts" of altered health states, as opposed to factual descriptions of diseases and disorders. This conceptual model integrates the developmental and preventative aspects of health. By taking this physiologic approach, the author ensures a comprehension of the whole of body function. By integrating all of the aspects of the human body into a total functional whole, the student can grasp both the physical and psychological aspects of altered health.

This edition has a completely revamped art program and new displays that showcase pathophysiological processes though detailed visual representation. Other highlights include a greater international focus, expanded content on evidence-based practice and completely revised, updated chapters on genetics, disorders of white blood cells and lymphoid tissues, and innate and acquired immunity.

Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer: Head and Neck Cancers, 1st ed. 2010


Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer Series: Head and Neck Cancers
(Early Diagnosis in Cancer)
Wayne Koch
ISBN-10: 141605202X
ISBN-13: 978-1416052029




The first two chapters, 'Molecular gene alteration as early detection markers' and 'Molecular proteonomics in early detection of head and neck cancer', were written by sur- geons and are surprisingly readable and simple to understand. They give an excellent overview about laboratory research, but to date there is little clinical application of these tech- niques except in molecular gene alterations (the loss of heterozygosity for prognosis of premalignant lesions) and in proteonomics where there is tremendous promise. In spite of this, the reader is given a good idea about the meaning of these terms, and it is likely that they will become important techniques in the future. The book is readable and interesting, and should appeal to most surgeons and oncologists in this field. It includes an 'expert consult' facility that allows the owner to access the full text online, perform searches on the topic, and follow PubMed references

Dialysis Access: Current Practice, 2001



Dialysis Access: Current Practice
J. A. Akoh and Nadey S. Hakim
ISBN-10: 1860941699
ISBN-13: 978-1860941696




The incidence of treated end stage renal disease (ESRD) continues to rise, particularly in the western world. Although renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for ESRD, the decline in the number of cadaveric organs, coupled with the rising demand for transplantation, means that an increasing number of patients will have to depend on dialysis. Vascular or peritoneal access is the Achilles' heel of any dialysis service. This book offers a clear description of the state of the art in providing and perserving a durable and reliable access. It also points the way to dialysis in the 21st century. The contributing authors are drawn from a wide background, with expertise in various aspects of dialysis access, including its history, the technique of placement, anaesthesia, radiology, nursing care and training of vascular access surgeons. There is currently a dearth of books on the subject of dialysis access. The few existing books on vascular access were written in the United States, with none from the UK. This volume is intended for use by transplant surgeons, general surgeons with an interest in vascular access, vascular surgeons, nephrologists, trainees and nurses. Dialysis services are expanding worldwide and this book is a valuable guide for those involved in daily patient care and organization of dialysis services.

The volume is organized into five chapters and presents five different techniques. Each chapter describes the non-surgical and surgical algorithms for the treatment of unidirectional and multidirectional antero-inferior instabilities, with and without shoulder laxity. The chapters offer a detailed description of each technique, enhanced by 10–15 high-definition photographs, tips and tricks, and pitfalls, as well as surgical steps. The book is aimed at medical students, fellows, specialists , orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation and generalist physicians.

Basic Medical Endocrinology, 4th ed. 2009


Basic Medical Endocrinology 4th ed 2009
H. Maurice Goodman
ISBN-10: 0123739756
ISBN-13: 978-0123739759




Basic Medical Endocrinology, Fourth Edition provides up-to-date coverage of rapidly unfolding advances in the understanding of hormones involved in regulating most aspects of bodily functions. The discussion focuses on molecular and cellular aspects of hormone production and action firmly rooted in the context of integrative physiology. Topics are approached from the perspective of a physiologist with over 40 years of teaching experience.

This fourth edition is richly illustrated in full color with both descriptive schematic diagrams and laboratory findings obtained in clinical studies. Each of the fourteen chapters starts with an 'Overview' of the topic and ends with a 'Suggested Reading' list. Initial chapters lay a foundation by presenting basic information and principles of hormone structure, secretion, and actions, and the physiological roles of the principal endocrine glands. Subsequent chapters address the role of the endocrine system in solving such physiological problems as the regulation of the volume and composition of body fluids in the face of changing environmental demands, and the regulation of short and longterm energy balance.
