Musculoskeletal Examination

Musculoskeletal Examination is a user-friendly textbook designed for students, physical therapists and physicians. It is uniquely multidisciplinary in its approach, being written by a physiatrist, physical therapist and orthopedist. With tables and boxed features to emphasize and summarize key concepts, and 'sample examination' boxes to highlight and test difficult areas, it is ideal for teaching introductory courses yet detailed enough for professional reference within clinical practice. It includes an easy-to-follow examination process for all the joints and spine, as well as combining biomechanics with physical examination to enhance understanding of function.
This third edition includes more and better anatomy illustrations; over 850 illustrations, x-rays and MRIs are perfect as a quick reference guide, while the detailed descriptions and clinically relevant examples of frequently encountered conditions will help out even the most novice practitioner.
The chapter on basic science, the brief overview of anatomy, and the introductory remarks at the start of each chapter that provide a biomechanical overview of the region featured, all ensure Musculoskeletal Examination will help you gain the understanding necessary to make a correct diagnosis and determine a successful treatment plan for your patients.
Musculoskeletal Examination is ideal for physiotherapists, physiatrists, orthopedists, medical students, practitioners and all those involved in sports medicine and clinical massage.

This book is designed as a resource for those who use evidence-based medicine in the treatment of infectious diseases in both inpatient and outpatient settings. provide in one place a good overview of the problem with sufficient detail to meet its goal as a resource book. - Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal Management of Antimicrobials in Infectious Diseases is primarily focused on providing evidence based clinical recommendations. At the conclusion of each chapter the author or authors present the Key Points by providing bulleted highlights they feel are important and allows the reader a process in which to review and retain the topic in a concise manner...useful for practicing community pharmacists with a background in infectious diseases, but would not be helpful as a quick reference. Clinical Pharmacy Specialists in infectious disease would benefit most from this textbook. However, clinical pharmacy generalists who treat patients with infections would also benefit from this fine book. Pharmacists who serve on infection control committees would find this book an asset. Other members of infection controls committees would also benefit from this text. For practicing hospital pharmacists and drug information centers Management of Antimicrobials in Infectious Diseases should be added to the reference library as it not only provides excellent recommendations for treating common infectious diseases commonly seen in a hospital setting, but an extensive list of reference articles for each chapter as well. Clinical pharmacists may find this textbook useful when researching a specific disease treatment. - Journal of Pharmacy Practice This book emphasizes the importance of taking into account the development of resistance to antimicrobials. Several chapters appropriately emphasize the effects of the addition of antibiotics to livestock feeds and processed meat products. The antibiotics used in such processes, It is well suited for microbiologists and infectious disease clinicians interested in basic science aspects of antibiotic resistance Mainous and Pomeroy's book is important because it is more likely to be read by practitioners prescribing antibiotics than are the other two more specialized texts. Infectious disease clinicians interested in antimicrobials or the emergence of antimicrobial resistance often fail to communicate the significance of their basic science findings to their colleagues who work in the clinical setting Pomeroy's book, although basic and not perfect, nonetheless reminds the practitioners who prescribe most of the antibiotics used in the world that, before they select an antibiotic to treat a particular patient, they should carefully consider the agent's potential to foster the emergence of resistance Importantly, it is addressed to clinicians, who are the main prescribers of antibiotics worldwide Drs. Mainous and Pomeroy are to be congratulated for making an important attempt to reach those whose prescribing habits will influence resistance trends.

Fundamentals of Osteoporosis

This volume covers a comprehensive series of topics from structural parameters of bone to development of the skeleton, differentiation of the bone cell lineages, bone matrix and its mineralization, and the multiple kinds and levels of regulation that influence all of these. Well-covered are what I will call intrinsic regulators, e.g. the specific cells and their genes, transcription factors, matrix components, receptors, and extrinsic - even if locally produced - regulators, e.g. cytokines, hormones, growth factors, mechanical forces and the often complex regulatory networks that result and control development, growth and aging of bone and its turnover in health and disease.
There is something for expert and novice alike in this volume, and the chapters overall deal well with and make quite accessible the explosion of information that has occurred in all areas of bone biology. Beyond a couple of chapters that deal explicitly with important fundamental concepts and issues related to defining what osteoporosis or osteoporotic bone is, many of the others address how advances in basic bone biology have contributed to the understanding of osteoporosis and other bone diseases and have pointed towards new therapeutics.
The chapters appropriately and clearly identify gaps and directions for new research and almost all are nicely sprinkled with helpful tables, graphs, photomicrographs or other images, and summary schematics. This book provides authoritative and comprehensive coverage of most of the main current topics in bone biology.
