Clinicians Guide to COPD
Clinician's Guide to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [Paperback] Timothy Q Howes (Author), David Bellamy (Author). Clinicians' Guide to COPD considers epidemiology, diagnosis and management, concentrating on how patients really present to the clinician. Aspects of disease prevention, including lifestyle change, particularly smoking cessation, will be discussed in detail. Acute exacerbation of COPD, currently a major cause of mortality and morbidity in these patients, will also be examined. Illustrative 'real-life' case histories will be included throughout, and the book will also incorporate 'interesting asides', for example the impact of COPD on a patient awaiting surgery. As with other volumes in the Clinicians' Guide series, the practical focus will be maintained throughout. With a balanced, readable style and clear explanatory color illustrations, the book will provide invaluable advice for both the primary care and specialist clinician looking after patients with COPD. Appropriate for the clinician managing COPD in either the primary or secondary care setting, Clinicians' Guide to COPD considers epidemiology, diagnosis and management, concentrating on how patients really present to the clinician.

Color Atlas of Pathology: Pathologic Principles, Associated Diseases, Sequelae - Ursus-Nikolaus Riede, Martin Werner

Color Atlas of Pathology
Color Atlas of Pathology: Pathologic Principles, Associated Diseases, Sequelae - Ursus-Nikolaus Riede (Author), Martin Werner (Author). The pocket atlas is an excellent reference work that presents pathologic findings in all clinically relevant fields, using high-quality photographs and concise, well structured explanatory texts. Images include color photos and micrographs. Electron microscopic images are included where necessary. Clear schematic drawings illustrate procedures such as the course of infections, etc. Text boxes on clinical and morphological aspects, on complications, and with easy-to-remember mnemonic summaries are set off in color. The illustrations [are] chosen to catch students' attention, and to explicate details and intricacies--along the lines of the old adage that one picture is worth a hundred words. As a teacher I would invite my students to describe the color figures and try to see how far they can go. Once they become involved and realize 'how much they can see just by observing', I would ask them to read the text on the opposite side...connecting words with the visual data. The authors deserve congratulations for the well-chosen pictures, some of which cannot be described otherwise than stunning and memorable. ...There are no similar atlases covering the macroscopic, microscopic and ultrastructural aspects of general pathology all in one.
