FIRSTConsult is a new evidence-based online clinical information system, designed to support decision making with practical clinical information. The content is continuously updated by expert contributors - who synthesize multiple information resources and deliver updated thinking on the latest in evaluation, diagnosis, management, outcomes and prevention. Based on the breakthrough FIRSTConsult electronic parent, the PDxMD series employs the same comprehensive approach in a book format, organized to support decision making at the point and time of care. Each PDxMD Medical Conditions title is composed of structured chapters, called medical condition files. Each Medical Condition File is organized identically into the following colour-coded sections, to allow you to find information consistently and reliably for every condition: Summary Information Background Diagnosis Treatment Outcomes Prevention Resources

This second edition of "A Practical Guide to Clinical Virology" is a practical, highly illustrated, quick reference guide to clinical virology. It brings together the essentials of the subject in a entertaining and informative style, describing in turn the clinical features, the symptoms and signs of each of the viral diseases, as well as summarising the epidemiology, laboratory diagnosis and therapy in each case. This book also includes general chapters on classification, diagnosis of infection, antiviral drugs, vaccines and different clinical syndromes. Its key features include: chapter summaries for quick reference; cartoon illustrations; comprehensive coverage; and, a clear and concise format. Each chapter is easy to read and well organised, ensuring that this is an invaluable textbook for all medical, biomedical, microbiology and applied biology students. In addition, it provides an excellent reference for nurses, occupational health and infection control departments, public health and diagnostic laboratories.

This is the first text to examine the connection between virology and human disease. It is also the first book to integrate basic virology with pathophysiological conditions. By contrast, most virology textbooks focus on the molecular biology involved without adequate reference to physiology. "Viruses and Human Disease" is four-color throughout and contains clearly labeled figures and tables. It provides a concise overview of animal viruses, emphasizing those causing diseases in humans. It integrates discussion of molecular biology, epidemiology, and the history of human viruses. It presents treatment of prions, gene therapy, and vaccine development. It is illustrated in color by an expert virologist. It includes world maps depicting the current distribution of existing and newly emerging viruses.

Written by eminent authorities on viral pathogenesis and immunity, this text provides a coherent, concise introduction to the field. The authors focus on fundamental principles and present a well-organized overview that is easy for readers to absorb.Section 1, essentials of viral pathogenesis , describes the sequential events in viral infection, the localization of viral infections, and the variety of virus-cell interactions.Section 2, host responses to viral infection , examines immune responses, including virus-induced immunopathology and immunosuppression.Section 3, virus-host interactions , covers virulence, viral persistence, virus-induced oncogenesis, and host susceptibility.Section 4, prevention of viral infections , explains the key principles of vaccine development

The diagnosis and treatment of patients with HIV infection is often times unique and atypical requiring healthcare professionals to have access to not only the most current, but also the most comprehensive information. With this new edition of the "Atlas of AIDS", the readers receive has a vivid and visually striking reference, enabling them to effectively meet the clinical challenges of this rapidly advancing field.

"The Atlas of AIDS, 3rd Edition" has been updated with the latest knowledge covering the entire field from epidemiology and prevention - to associate malignancies - to neurologic manifestations. Remarkable illustrations, clinical photographs, instructive schematic diagrams, and informative charts are all accompanied by detailed captions that assist you through the diagnosis, treatment, and management of this amazingly complex disease.

"Principles of Molecular Virology, Third Edition" provides an essential introduction to modern virology in a clear and concise manner. It is a highly enjoyable and readable text with numerous illustrations that enhance the reader's understanding of important principles. This edition has been updated and revised with new figures and text. It also includes a CD-ROM with material that complements the text. The CD-ROM includes interactive tutorials, virtual experiments and multiple-choice questions. New to 3rd Edition are: Viruses and Apoptosis (Chapter 6); Bacteriophages and Human Disease (Chapter 7); learning objectives for each chapter; pronunciation section in Glossary and abbreviations section (Appendix 1); Key events in the history of virology (Appendix 3); and, addition of colour in text and figures to enhance understanding of key points. It includes a CD containing interactive learning resources to complement text, e.g. tutorials, MCQ's, Virtual experiments, PPT slide set containing lecture notes. A different CD is included with standard and Instructor's edition. It also includes a Virology on-line section - encourages readers to access the Internet to find further information. It includes self assessment questions at the end of each chapter and classification of Subcellular Infectious agents. It contains approximately 20 per cent new material and is completely revised throughout. It contains over 120 figures.
