Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a method for stimulating the cerebral cortex through the intact skull by use of a coil delivering a rapidly changing magnetic field. It has applications in neuropsychiatric diagnosis, and in psychiatric therapy, using around one million times less energy than is required for traditional electroconvulsive therapy. Bringing together the basic science, fundamental principles, and essential practicalities of TMS, this book should prove useful to all users whether they are using the technique clinically or in research. The final two sections then bring together current up to date knowledge of applications of the technique. This handbook offers a companion to users of TMS in all departments of neurology, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, and psychiatry.

Now in its thirteenth edition, Dreisbach's Handbook of Poisoning is long established as the definitive handbook of poisoning for all physicians, nurses, crisis and hotline workers, paramedics, and students. Rapid response is critical during the initial management of poison cases. This ready-reference guide provides antidotes, antivenins, and more for a vast number of substances. It covers medical toxicology - including prevention and management of exposures, poisonings, adverse effects, abuse and withdrawal from pharmaceuticals - and household, environmental, and natural hazards. The book begins by providing general information about the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of poisoning. Then it considers the important medicolegal aspects of poisoning. The remainder of the book focuses on specific poisons, organized into agricultural, industrial, household, medicinal, and natural hazards. Chemically- and pharmacologically-related agents have been grouped together wherever possible. For optimal care of critical or unusual poisonings, the book also contains guidelines for consultations with medical toxicologists and regional poison information centers.
A concise summary of the diagnosis and treatment of poisoning, Dreisbach's Handbook of Poisoning provides an extraordinary amount of practical information in a compact format.
The Internet for Physicians
M. J. A. Edwards , R. P. Smith
editore: Springer Verlag New York Inc.
pagine: 304
Like the Internet itself, interest in computing (both local and distant) has grown exponentially. The rapidly changing role of the Internet has resulted in three very different editions of The Internet for Physicians. The first edition attempted to introduce the concept of information transfer and communication and point the way toward a tool of the future. The second edition attempted to assuage trepidation in the use of this emerging tool and suggest the why and wherefore of being connected. The needs that drove those goals have almost completely disappeared. As a result, the bulk of this edition is more focused on the medical aspect of the Internet and its use, and less on the nuts and bolts of connecting and communication through the Web. It has been revamped, reorganized, and expanded to include 30% more content and 90 new illustrations.
New to the third edition is an entire section dedicated to Medicine and the Web, with chapters discussing patient education and information, what your patients are seeing on the web, finding quality resources, including clinical-trial and evidence-based medicine sites, how to search and use Pun Med, telemedicine, continuing medical education, medical literature and informatics, applications of on-line journals and submissions, and much more.

Dylipidaemia in Clinical Practice
Gilbert Thompson
editore: Taylor & Francis Ltd
pagine: 500
After half a century of doubt and debate, dyslipidemia has at last been accepted by cardiologists and the medical community at large as a major, treatable cause of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. A number of guidelines have been issued on the management of dyslipidemia in preventing coronary heart disease. A working knowledge of the various types of dyslipidemia and their treatment is highly relevant to modern medicine, with its accent on prevention. This book, written by a general practitioner, an epidemiologist, and a lipidologist, provides a broad and up-to-date perspective of dyslipidemia and is chiefly intended for use in primary care. It details normal lipid metabolism, describes the genetic and acquired causes of dyslipidemia and reviews the evidence that the latter is a risk factor for vascular disease. Most of the book, however, is devoted to the practicalities of screening, risk assessment and management of dyslipidemia in everyday clinical practice, including chapters summarizing current guidelines, the importance of diet and the role of lipid-lowering drugs. Cardiologists, general practitioners and pharmacists will find this volume indispensable.
Handbook of Coronary Stents
Patrick W. Serruys
editore: Informa Healthcare
pagine: 384
Surgeons refer to this classic text again and again, partly because of the clarity of its innovative format, so useful and popular that it has been copied by others. This technical manual, now in its fourth edition, profiles all of the commercially available stents and some of those in early registry. The technical specifications of the stent and delivery systems are tabulated; each stent is illustrated in its unexpanded, mounted and expanded form (depending on the type of stent). Angiograms show the stent in situ. Handbook of Coronary Stents is a necessary adjunct for all those involved in interventional cardiology.
Nutritional Toxicology

editore: Informa Healthcare
pagine: 472
Nutrients are gaining recognition for their role in protecting against the toxic effects of free radicals, alcohol and other substances. At the same time, advances in food technology, the appearance of novel foods and new ingredients have generated new toxicological issues and forced health and safety professionals to develop new and more reliable methods to assess their impact on our health. These issues are at the heart of the second edition of Nutritional Toxicology. The book discusses the role of nutrients in protecting the body against toxicants. It explores the overall importance of the metabolism of xenobiotics and antioxidant nutrients in their increasingly important role in protecting against oxidative damage generated by free radicals. The book also discusses components of the diet that can influence metabolism of drugs, how alcohol consumption affects nutritional status, and conversely, how nutritional status affects alcohol metabolism. The effect of age on the body's ability to metabolize drugs and toxicants is discussed in detail.
