Review Contact Dermatitis / Springer:The fourth edition is an up-dated coverage of every conceivable aspect of the modern-day management of contact dermatitis. Both irritant and allergic contact dermatitis are covered fully and clearly, special emphasis being given to immunolgical mechanisms, molecular aspects of sensitizers, atypical clinical forms, reactions to medicaments, occupational and environmental aspects. Several new chapters focus on fragrances, hair dyes, and methods for quantitative risk assessment of allergens and irritants. The textbook also covers epidemiology, the histopathology and ultrastructure of contact dermatitis, methods of skin-testing other than patch testing, skin penetration, and principles of prevention and protection. Legislative regulations on contact allergens and legal aspects of worker’s compensation for occupational dermatitis are dealt with as well as the expanding use of computers in surveillance sytems and practical management of patients. For optimizing the diagnostic approach a wide scale of information is provided on patch test concentration and vehicles, testing with patient´s own materials and a dictionary of contact allergens regarding chemical structures, sources and references. The editors and authors are all leading practitioners in the field. They have thoroughly revised the original chapters that were retained, while adding a large number of new chapters - the first edtion had 22 chapters, the fourth one has 51 chapters. Their expertise has thus enabled the compilation of a comprehensive, yet approachable, updated text, supplemented by a large number of illustrations, all in full color, many tables and a useful index. Core messages highlight the most important information and will help the reader gain a better understanding of the theoretical basis of the subject, greater competence in everyday practice, and increased awareness of areas in which more clinical and laboratory research remains needed. [+]For teaching purposes a CD-ROM is included providing virtually all clinical pictures and the most pertinent diagrams and tables.

Review Ethel Browning's Toxicity and Metabolism of Industrial Solvents : Alcohols and Esters / Elsevier Science & Technology:Hardbound. In this volume, the authors have made a significant contribution to the understanding of the toxicity of two important groups of compounds - alcohols and esters. The authors have integrated the data, interpreted the results of numerous studies, and have provided detailed lists of references to facilitate the approach of serious students to the original literature. It will be clear to the reader familiar with Browning's work that toxicology has made vast strides in the past few decades. While descriptive toxicology retains its importance as a method of defining toxicological problems, mechanistic toxicology has expanded to help explain the underlying causes of toxic effects. Much use has been made of descriptive toxicology in environmental and occupational risk assessment. In the long run, mechanistic data when applied to estimating the risks of exposure will help to establish more accurate and acceptable standards for exposure to alcohols and e.

Review Neuro-Oncology, Part II / Elsevier:Hardbound. Neuro-Oncology is a three-part coverage of that subject over three volumes, comprehensive and multidisciplinary in its approach. This second part is devoted to the theme "Gliomas and Other Primary Tumors of the Brain and Spinal Cord". The first part of the volume focuses on the gliomas, representing the majority of malignant tumors of the brain. Proper classification of brain tumors is essential, and the adaptation of the last version of the World Health Organization's Recommendations on Classification and Grading of Primary Brain Tumors in 1993 are included in this volume and extensively discussed. On low-grade gliomas, the issue of wait-and-see or straightforward treatment, depending on symptomatology or localization in the infratentorial or supratentorial compartment, including optic pathway tumors, is reviewed in depth. For every tumor, epidemiology, neuropathology and clinical characteristics are an intrinsic part of each.

Review Your Guide to Developing an Ergonomics Process / CRC:The occurrence of Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs) and Repetitive Motion Injuries (RMIs) is increasing at an alarming rate, dramatically affecting today's workforce. The symptoms of these disorders develop slowly over time. Workers often ignore the discomfort, hoping it will resolve itself. Eventually, productivity decreases due to pain and loss of function, and a previously productive worker suddenly finds that he or she cannot work as a result of the disability. Although this condition is discouraging, it is also preventable. Ergonomics - matching the work environment to the worker's abilities and limitations - offers a promising method to control, manage, and reduce the risk of CTDs and RMIs in the workplace. Your Guide to Developing an Ergonomics Process will assist in the process of reducing workplace injuries and illnesses related to cumulative trauma disorders and poor ergonomics. This valuable guide presents all aspects of a comprehensive ergonomics process, and outlines federal and state OSHA requirements. The program detailed in the text enables full participation at all levels of the organization - regardless of your experience in ergonomics.
