Review Neurology Oral Boards Review: A Concise and Systematic Approach to Clinical Practice / Humana Press:A comprehensive yet concise review of relevant topics and examination strategies needed to pass the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) Part II (Oral) exam, complete with up-to-date, evidence-based guidelines on diagnosis and management in clinical neurology. The book follows the ABPN format, providing clinical case vignettes designed to allow the examinee to localize the plausible disease process, to indicate which investigations may help in establishing a diagnosis, to deduce treatment plans, and to make a prognosis, including patient and family counseling. The emergency cases test the ability to think critically when faced with a neurological emergency, putting a premium on resuscitation, patient safety, and rapid high-yield investigations. The general neurology cases reflect the breadth of disorders experienced in hospital and outpatient settings. The author's suggested study regimen takes into account the difficulties of allotting time to prepare while in post-residency training or practice. Comprehensive and case-based, Neurology Oral Boards Review: A Concise and Systematic Approach to Clinical Practice provides a structured approach to clinical problem solving in neurology, as well as an effective and time-efficient method to master the factual material needed to successfully complete the Neurology Oral Boards.

Review Drug-Induced Hepatic Injury / Elsevier Science Pub Co:Hardbound. This completely re-written and expanded volume provides a guide to the wide variety of important forms of liver injury provoked by reactions to large numbers of drugs. Drug-induced hepatic injury, which in earlier analysis seemed of relatively little moment, now appears to play a much more important role; hence the theme of this book is of great current importance. Of particular recent interest have been the chronic lesions provoked by drug injury. This extensive group of lesions, taken with the more than 600 drugs that have been incriminated in their causation, makes for a bewildering assortment of information that can easily seem beyond encompassing, were it not for the guidance of this volume. The characterization of the various forms of hepatic injury and the association with the respective drugs has come slowly, and has been based on the collation of data from many individual reports, including descriptions from adverse drug-reaction rep.

This highly practical book will help staff to recognize when a student's poor performance within the classroom is the result of a medical condition or underlying motor and perceptual deficits. Clear tables enable the reader to link observed classroom behavior with possible management approaches and sources for further advice. Each curriculum subject has been analyzed to identify areas where practical strategies will help students to achieve their potential. Information, clearly set out, will provide a useful resource for special needs coordinators, teachers and support staff as well as pediatric occupational therapists when planning individual education plans for secondary school students.

Review Inflammation / Springer:This book represents an excellent, updated review on selected topics, ideas, hypotheses, and therapeutic strategies in the aetiology and pathogenesis of inflammatory phenomena. The introductory article reveals the nature of the immune status of critically ill patients and proposes the usefulness of immuno-stimulating therapy. The next series of articles deals with the role of cytokines in mediating cell functions in immunity and inflammation. The complexity of the prostaglandin function, the pathogenesis of allergic diseases and their control, as well as the inflammatory response to Mycobacteria, are critically evaluated. In addition, therapeutic strategies in infection and inflammation, including application of cytokines and anti-apoptotic factors, are proposed. These also include phage therapy, whose renaissance is associated with the recent worsening problem of resistance to antibiotics. The book is addressed to scientists involved in biomedical research, hospital doctors, and medical students interested in the immunology of inflammation.
