Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, 19th Edition Review
Book Description:
"Highly Commended," Paediatrics Category, British Medical Association 2012 Medical Book Competition
Review:
"Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics has been the world's most trusted pediatrics resource for nearly 75 years. Drs. Robert Kliegman, Bonita Stanton, Richard Behrman, and two new editors - Joseph St. Geme, III, MD and Nina Schor, MD, who contribute on the key subspecialties, including pediatric infectious disease and pediatric neurology - continue to provide the most authoritative coverage of the best approaches to care. This streamlined 19th edition covers the latest on genetics, neurology, infectious disease, melamine poisoning, sexual identity and adolescent homosexuality, and psychosis associated with epilepsy. The expanded online access features the regularly updated text, case studies, new references and journal articles, Clinics articles, and exclusive web-only content.
What is disappointed in this edition that is they removed the pectoria section and the self assessment questions which were a big advantge to review for the board and to review any pictures.
New to this Edition:
- Access the fully searchable text online at www.expertconsult.com, along with abundant case studies, new references and journal articles, Clinics articles, and exclusive web-only content.
- Stay current on recent developments and hot topics such as melamine poisoning, long-term mechanical ventilation in the acutely ill child, sexual identity and adolescent homosexuality, age-specific behavior disturbances, and psychosis associated with epilepsy.
- Tap into substantially enhanced content with world-leading clinical and research expertise from two new editors-Joseph St. Geme, III, MD and Nina Schor, MD-who contribute on the key subspecialties, including pediatric infectious disease and pediatric neurology.
- Manage the transition to adult healthcare for children with chronic diseases through discussions of the overall health needs of patients with congenital heart defects, diabetes, and cystic fibrosis.
- Recognize, diagnose, and manage genetic conditions more effectively using an expanded section that covers these diseases, disorders, and syndromes extensively.
- Find information on chronic and common dermatologic problems more easily with a more intuitive reorganization of the section.

Cardiovascular Physiology Concepts Second Edition Review
 |
| Published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2011 ISBN: 9781451113846 |
The second edition of this popular textbook, authored by Dr. Klabunde, stresses the fundamental concepts of cardiovascular physiology. It was written to enable students to learn how the cardiovascular system functions in order to build a foundation for understanding cardiovascular disease, its diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, the textbook is particularly well-suited for first and second year medical students, as well as students in allied health sciences and health profession training programs (e.g., nursing, physician assistant, cardiac rehabilitation, paramedic, exercise physiology and sports medicine). The textbook seamlessly integrates classical biophysical and biochemical principles with modern cellular physiology. These principles are placed into a clinical context by incorporating numerous pathophysiological examples and clinical cases.
The textbook consists of nine chapters (256 pages, 139 illustrations). Each chapter begins with a list of learning objectives. Chapters contain problems and clinical cases that reinforce physiologic principles. Each chapter concludes with a summary of key concepts followed by self-assessment questions in a multiple choice format with explanationa.
The textbook chapter headings are listed below:
Chapter 1 Introduction to the Cardiovascular System
Chapter 2 Electrical Activity of the Heart
Chapter 3 Cellular Structure and Function
Chapter 4 Cardiac Function
Chapter 5 Vascular Function
Chapter 6 Neurohumoral Control of the Heart and Circulation
Chapter 7 Organ Blood Flow
Chapter 8 Exchange Function of the Microcirculation
Chapter 9 Cardiovascular Integration, Adaptation and Pathophysiology
Chapter 2 Electrical Activity of the Heart
Chapter 3 Cellular Structure and Function
Chapter 4 Cardiac Function
Chapter 5 Vascular Function
Chapter 6 Neurohumoral Control of the Heart and Circulation
Chapter 7 Organ Blood Flow
Chapter 8 Exchange Function of the Microcirculation
Chapter 9 Cardiovascular Integration, Adaptation and Pathophysiology
