Genetics for Pulmonologists
The Molecular Genetics Basis of Pulmonary Disorders
Joel Moss , Jordan Prutkin
editore: ReMedica
pagine: 200
Our understanding of the relationship between genetics and pulmonary disorders is still evolving. In 1989 cloning of the gene that, when mutated, causes cystic fibrosis marked a great advance in the study of genetic diseases. Yet, over a decade later, understanding of how this genetic defect leads to colonization by bacteria and inflammation in the lung remains elusive. This publication provides an overview of lung diseases for which the genetic defect has been defined. It aims to provide an easy-to-use manual with concise reviews of genetic diseases that a pulmonologist might encounter.
The ECG in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Unstable Angina

editore: Kluwer Academic Publishers
pagine: 141
The electrocardiogram (ECG) remains the most accessible and inexpensive diagnostic tool to evaluate the patient presenting with symptoms suggestive of acute myocardial ischemia. It plays a crucial role in decision making about the aggressiveness of therapy especially in relation to reperfusion therapy, because such therapy has resulted in a considerable reduction in mortality from acute myocardial infarction. Several factors play a role in the amount of myocardial tissue that can be salvaged by reperfusion therapy, such as the time interval between onset of coronary occlusion and reperfusion, site and size of the jeopardized area, type of reperfusion attempt (thrombolytic agent or an intracoronary catheter intervention), presence or absence of risk factors for thrombolytic agents, etc. Most important in decision making on reperfusion therapy and the type of intervention is to look for markers indicating a higher mortality rate from myocardial infarction. The ECG is a reliable, inexpensive, non-invasive instrument to obtain that information.
Recently it has become clear that both in anterior and inferior myocardial infarction, the ECG frequently allows not only to identify the infarct related coronary artery, but also the site of occlusion in that artery and therefore the size of the jeopardized area. Obviously, the more proximal the occlusion, the larger the area at risk and the more aggressive the reperfusion attempt.

Gastrointestinal Radiology
A Pattern Approach
Ronald L. Eisenberg
editore: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins
pagine: 1356
Unique among all medical texts on the subject, this volume provides a direct, stepwise approach to the differential diagnosis of abnormal findings on gastrointestinal radiographs. This singular book promptly gives physicians in training and in practice the information they need to reach the best clinical diagnosis. Each of the book's 80 chapters shows a specific radiographic pattern, lists every disease entity it could possibly be, and helps the reader confirm, refine, or reject differential diagnoses. Using a "pattern approach," individual chapters focus on specific radiologic abnormal appearances rather than disease entities and outline the typical signs, symptoms, and predisposing factors for the abnormality. This edition features hundreds of new images and a new section on MRI of the liver.
Genetics for Ophthalmologists
The Molecular Genetic Basis of Ophthalmic Disorders
Graeme Black
editore: ReMedica
pagine: 368
Over the past decade advances in molecular biology have transformed our understanding of the genetic basis of a broad range of ophthalmic conditions and of the disease processes that underlie them. This work gives a concise summary of the current clinical understanding of genetic ophthalmology and how it may be applied to diagnosis management and counselling of patients with inherited eye diseases. In addition the book gives detailed information of recent advances in genetic eye disease and how disease pathophysiology correlates with this molecular genetic information. It is aimed at general and specialist ophthalmologists, at trainees or all levels as well as at clinical and molecular geneticists interested in the genetics of eye disease.
