Adverse Drug Interactions. A Handbook for Prescribers

Adverse Drug Interactions
A Handbook for Prescribers 

Adverse Drug Interactions. A Handbook for Prescribers - Lakshman Karalliedde (Author), Simaon F J Clark (Author), Ursula Collington (Author), Janaka Karalliedde (Author). The prescription of two or more drugs for simultaneous use by a patient always raises the possibility that one of those drugs will affect the intensity and duration of effect of the other(s), and can introduces the possibility of serious side effects occurring. This book provides a convenient, user-friendly approach to this problem, providing information on potential adverse affects by drug class. By establishing a system of grading throughout the book and appropriate coding through the use of special icons, the authors highlight immediately to the reader those interactions that are likely to give rise to life-threatening reactions and must therefore be completely avoided in addition to other, less threatening but nonetheless important interactions to be aware of. Presented in tabular form for ease of reference, the book also provides a brief summary of the mechanism underlying a particular interaction, alternative drugs lacking the same reactions that may be considered and instructions for monitoring patients when adverse affects may occur.

The Neurobiology of Olfaction Edited by Anna Menini

The Neurobiology of Olfaction

The Neurobiology of Olfaction Edited by Anna Menini. The Neurobiology of Olfaction provides a thorough analysis of the state-of-the-science in olfactory knowledge and research, reflecting the growing interest in the field. Authors from some of the most respected laboratories in the world explore various aspects of olfaction, including genetics, behavior, olfactory systems, odorant receptors, odor coding, and cortical activity. Until recently, almost all animal research in olfaction was carried out on orthonasal olfaction (inhalation). It is only in recent years, especially in human flavor research, that evidence has begun to be obtained regarding the importance of retronasal olfaction (exhalation). These studies are beginning to demonstrate that retronasal smell plays a large role to play in human behavior. Highlighting common principles among various species – including humans, insects, Xenopus laevis (African frog), and Caenorhabditis elegans (nematodes) – this highly interdisciplinary book contains chapters about the most recent discoveries in odor coding from the olfactory epithelium to cortical centers.

The ICU Book, Third edition by Paul L. Marino

The ICU Book

The ICU Book, Third edition by Paul L. Marino. This best-selling resource provides a general overview and basic information for all adult intensive care units. The material is presented in a brief and quick-access format which allows for topic and exam review. It provides enough detailed and specific information to address most all questions and problems that arise in the ICU. Emphasis on fundamental principles in the text should prove useful for patient care outside the ICU as well. New chapters in this edition include hyperthermia and hypothermia syndromes; noninvasive ventilation; and non-pharmaceutical toxic ingestions. Sections have been reorganized and consolidated when appropriate to reinforce concepts. This is a perfect way to obtain a fairly broad fund of ICU knowledge without having to stop every other paragraph to analize and digest the words used to express an idea. I find it very useful for residents and ICU fellows. All physicians in different levels of training will find something interesting in this book. Its size makes it very attractive and its no-frills medical terminology makes it extremely approachable. The book has excellent summaries of pathophys behind what we see/diagnose/measure/do in the icu. the book does have significant drawbacks, though, namely that it is highly biased towards the author's occasionally contraversial opinions.

Radiology Education - The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

Radiology Education 

Radiology Education - The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning - Rethy K. Chhem (Editor), Kathryn M. Hibbert (Editor), Teresa van Deven (Editor). The rapid pace at which knowledge is expanding and technological innovations are emerging presents both challenges and opportunities in imaging sciences. As workload and training demands increase, the ways in which we practice and train future practitioners must evolve to meet the new demands. For those involved in medical education, a reconsideration of the way the business of imaging is conducted is needed. Revolutionary changes are on the medical imaging horizon, and responses must address the ‘new reality’ on a global scale. This includes planning for outreach programs that may be extended to developing countries with emerging economies. From the reviews: “Radiology Education is the first book to address radiology education from the perspective of scholarship of teaching and learning and was written by experts and medical professionals from around the world to assist in training the next generation of radiologists in their expanding roles. … This book should be a useful resource for anyone interested in training radiologists.”

Neurosurgical Pain Management 1st Edition - Kenneth A. Follett.

Neurosurgical Pain Management

Neurosurgical Pain Management 1st Edition - Kenneth A. Follett. Neurosurgical Pain Management provides an overview of surgical and, more broadly, interventional pain management techniques. The book opens with a consideration of pain pathophysiology and the standard medical, psychological, and rehabilitative approaches towards the treatment of chronic pain, as the neurosurgeon should be careful to select those patients who have exhausted more conservative management before proceeding with the interventions the book goes on to detail. At its end, the text addresses multidisciplinary pain management, impairment and physical medicine, and practice management. For the anesthesiology-trained pain management specialist this book provides some information not easily found elsewhere. Indeed, there are no fewer than four brief separate chapters describing surgical approaches to the relief of trigeminal pain. This points to the book’s core weakness. Although this text provides familiarity with the different surgical modalities, it provides little guidance. Surely this is, in part, a function of the dearth of controlled trials and outcome studies in the neurosurgical pain literature.

Atlas of Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology: Selections from the Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations

Atlas of Neuroanatomy and
Neurophysiology

Atlas of Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology: Selections from the Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations. This selection of the art of Dr. Frank H. Netter on neuroanatomy and neurophysiology is drawn from the Atlas of Human Anatomy and Netter’s Atlas of Human Physiology. Viewing these pictures again prompts reflection on Dr. Netter’s work and his roles as physician and artist. Like most Netter illustrations, the pictures are beautiful. The index is much too sparse, which means that you sometimes have to spend time flipping through the book to find a diagram that you know is in there somewhere. This isn't quite as bad as it could be since the book is divided into sections which make it a little easier to track things down, but it can be frustrating at times. If you're REALLY serious about learning neuroanatomy, I recommend this as an adjunct to Duaine Haines' atlas of neuroanatomy. They complement one another well. The Haines' atlas lacks color and shows most things in slices, but it has real photos in it and MRI images as well, while the Netter atlas doesn't show as many structures as Haines' atlas does. The brainstem nuclei, for example, are much better represented in the Haines' atlas. However, what the Netter's atlas does show, it shows in a manner more conducive to conveying the three-dimensional anatomy.

It presents the regional anatomy to allow tailoring of the operation as demanded. The old saying that “the best anatomist makes the best surgeon” is but a variation on the venerable saw that “you have to know the territory.” Neoplastic disease has no respect for anatomical boundaries, making detailed familiarity with anatomy that exists beyond the margins of a standard surgical method a great facilitator for many surgical procedures. The biology of cancer and knowledge of all modalities appropriate for its management continues to defi ne new approaches to both common and rare cancers.

This book is really useful and contains a great deal of information regarding everything an IM student/resident would like to know. It's very well written, clear and concise. It has a big drawback though: it is big and heavy enough for not being comfortably put in your pocket, since it is considered a pocket book.
