S. Karger AG

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections in humans. Their frequency varies with age, gender and socioeconomic background. Authored by scientists especially selected for their expertise in the field, this book reviews the latest research data and presents current concepts of the pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of UTIs. Modern methods of diagnosis and new antibacterial agents are evaluated, and recommendations for the choice of antimicrobial and the duration of treatment in different conditions are provided. Besides acute cystitis and pyelonephritis, special attention is given to complicated UTIs, such as infections in renal transplant patients, patients infected with HIV or patients on anticancer drugs and glucocorticosteroid therapy. Finally, areas are identified in which well designed clinical studies and more basic research could lead to cost-effective improvements in the management of UTIs. This book represents the latest international consensus on treatment and aetiology of UTIs. As such, it should assist clinicians and health care professionals in curing the patients, and should also be appreciated by basic and clinical researchers in urology, nephrology, microbiology and diabetes.

Springer

Recognizing the clinician's need for quick access to a comprehensive and immediately useful presentation of evidence-based material, the authors and editors have condensed the research on the most common otorhinolaryngological complaints into this indispensable volume. Their unique approach color-codes the level of research backing each set of evidence in order to make assessment of the evidence as quick and useful as possible. Each clinical problem is presented with a "color key," letting the physician know the level of evidence available: green (high-level evidence), yellow (low to moderate levels of evidence), or red (major disagreement or only minimal low-level evidence). The content of each chapter is structured in the same manner so the reader quickly becomes accustomed to finding precisely the information needed for each new case. Featuring sections on general otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, pediatrics, and otology, Evidence-Based Otolaryngology not only presents the research, but gives the clinician immediately applicable recommendations for patient treatment.

Every practitioner of aesthetic medicine and surgery will already have a series of textbooks instructing on how to treat the standard patient. Unfortunately, every practitioner will also have patients who do not conform to the average – who are of a different age, or sex, or ethnicity, or medical history, or who have special social requirements. This book looks at those complicated areas that tend to be ignored in the more standard textbooks, but are of intense interest to those practitioners who are confronted by a patient not conforming to the standard treatment; it pools the expertise of top aesthetic practitioners to help point out the areas of special challenge that arise in clinical practice and how to set about tackling and solving them.

ISBN-10: 0521706521

ISBN-13: 978-0521706520

Cambridge University Press

This is a multi-authored textbook that is simple, practical, and up-to-date and supported by instructional videos for cosmetic procedures that can be performed in an office setting. The focus of the book is on fillers, neurotoxins, and various laser, broad band light, radio-frequency, and ultrasound devices that are currently being used or about to be released. It also covers suture suspension lifts, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. There are supporting chapters on various local, topical, nerve-blocking, and sedation anesthetic techniques that are typically used in an office setting. The book's format and contents are a bold departure from many textbooks. In addition to chapters discussing the theory behind the products and chapters reviewing categories of products or devices that provide the reader with an overview and some comparative discussion, there are short sections for each individual popular branded type of product. The book is useful for both experienced practitioners interested in the latest trends around the world and those who are starting out or are simply interested in adding new procedures to a practice that already includes certain cosmetic procedures.

Fundamentals of Forensic Anthropology, 2006

(Advances in Human Biology)

Linda L. Klepinger

ISBN-10: 0471210064

ISBN-13: 978-0471210061

Wiley-Liss

 

 

 

 

 

This text is the first of its level written in more than twenty years. It serves as a summary and guide to the core material that needs to be mastered and evaluated for the practice of forensic anthropology.

The text is divided into three parts that collectively provide a solid base in theory and methodology:

 

• Part One, "Background Setting for Forensic Anthropology," introduces the field and discusses the role of forensic anthropology in historic context.
• Part Two, "Towards Personal Identification," discusses initial assessments of skeletal remains; determining sex, age, ancestral background, and stature; and skeletal markers of activity and life history.
• Part Three, "Principal Anthropological Roles in Medical-Legal Investigation," examines trauma; the postmortem period; professionalism, ethics, and the expert witness; and genetics and DNA.

The critical and evaluative approach to the primary literature stresses the inherent biological constraints on degrees of precision and certainty, and cautions about potential pitfalls. The practical focus, coupled with theoretical basics, make Fundamentals of Forensic Anthropology ideal for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in biological anthropology as well as forensic scientists in allied fields of medical-legal investigation.

Molecular Mechanisms in Spermatogenesis, 2008

Molecular Mechanisms in Spermatogenesis

(Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology) vol;636

C.Y. Cheng

ISBN-10: 0387799907

ISBN-13: 978-0387799902

Springer

The book begins with a chapter that provides the basic concept of cellular regulation of spermatogenesis. A few chapters are also dedicated to some of the latest findings on the Sertoli cell cytoskeleton and other molecules (e.g., proteases, adhesion proteins) that regulate spermatogenesis. These chapters contain thought-provoking discussions and concepts which shall be welcomed by investigators in the field. It is obvious that many of these concepts will be updated and some may be amended in the years to come. However, they will serve as a guide and the basis for investigation by scientists in the field. Due to the page limit, I could not cover all areas of interest in this monograph; instead, I tried to present this subject area with a balanced approach.
