The Study of Dyslexia 2007-07-12 01:46:00 Edited by Martin Turner & John Rack(Kluwer Academic Publishers)"This volume cannot contain, and does not attempt to encapsulate, all these strands of developing argument. Nevertheless most of the progress in current theory is reflected in some detail in its chapters, either by main players or others closely involved. This gives the collection a special authority, even while it aims to achieve, above the mêlée of current controversies, a stable perspective that a student can rely on.Snowling’s chapter sets the scene, with a historical approach to the prevailing language disorder view of dyslexia. Hypothetical, internal phonological representations—confirmed by early developmental cross-language studies—are strong in some, weak in other individuals. The purity of this explanation is defended against the common clinical observation of “comorbidities.” Implications for practice are helpfully spelled out.Muter provides much of the detail for this developmental, linguistic view o Read more:Study
Headache: A Medical Dictionary, Bibliography, and Annotated Research Guide to Internet References 2007-07-12 01:37:00 Editors: James N. Parker & Philip M. Parker(ICON Group International, Inc.)"In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading."1 Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet
-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with headache is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to know as much as possible about headache, using the most advanced research tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so.In addition to offering a structured and co Read more:Dictionary

Psychology's Grand Theorists: How Personal Experiences Shaped Professional Ideas 2007-07-04 03:57:00 Amy Demorest (Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Publishers) "This book is about a few men who have had a profound effect on a great many people. They have done so by changing the ways that people think about their very own lives. It was the ambition of each of these men to develop a theory vast and powerful enough to account for the human experience in its fullest measure. They sought to explain those human phenomena that are so universal and ever present as to be taken for granted: Why do we show emotion? Why do we want freedom? Why do we dream? They sought also to explain those human phenomena that are so odd or paradoxical as to appear to make no sense whatever: What leads a person to develop superstitious beliefs? Or to have a psychotic break? Or to lead a political movement to practice genocide? Fascinated by the complexity of human life, each developed a model for bringing order and meaning to this complexity. For each man, the theory he offered to the world was so bold that it shocke Read more:Grand

The Mind at Night: The New Science of How and Why We Dream 2007-07-04 03:54:00 Andrea Rock (Basic Books) "The tale of discovery that unfolds in the chapters ahead explores how and why we dream, but it may also overturn your assumptions about how the brain does everything from the seemingly straightforward task of seeing a sunset (be it a sunset out there on the horizon or one that's part of your dreamscape) to more complex jobs such as learning, forming, and retrieving memories or dealing with difficult emotional issues. When your body is safely at rest and your brain therefore no longer needs to process information from the outside world, it is free to focus on other crucial tasks, including integrating new experiences into memory. What happens during this offline processing in turn helps guide your waking behavior. It has also become clear that dream content can provide valuable information about our deepest preoccupations and feelings. "We have shown that 75 to 100 dreams from a person give us a very good psychological portrait of that individual," says Bill Read more:Science

Interpreting Chest X-Rays: Illustrated with 100 Cases 2007-06-30 23:41:00 Philip Eng & Foong-Koon Cheah (Cambridge University Press) "Interpreting
chest X-rays can seem baffling and intimidating for junior doctors. This highly illustrated guide provides the ideal introduction to chest radiology. It uses 100 clinical cases to illuminate a wide range of common medical conditions, each illustrated with a chest X-ray and a clear description of the significant diagnostic features and their clinical relevance. Where appropriate, CT scans and bronchoscopic imaging are also included as part of the investigation. Pulmonary medicine is largely based on the strong foundation of the plain chest radiograph. Indeed, chest radiography is the single most common investigation carried out in hospital practice. This collection of case studies will help make the learning process easier, more enjoyable, and less painful. As well as offering enlightening pearls of core knowledge in chest X-ray interpretation, it highlights some of the pitfalls that might wrong-foot the inexpe Read more:Illustrated

Psychiatry Made Ridiculously Simple 2007-06-30 23:34:00 William V. Good & Jefferson E. Nelson (MedMaster, Inc.) "PREFACE Although humor is used in this book to highlight diagnostic findings, it is not our intent to laugh at people with psychiatric problems. On the contrary, we hope that reading this book will enable you to help and understand patients better. Where appropriate, we have integrated the DSM III (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition, American Psychiatric Association) into the text. For lists of diagnostic criteria and a complete review of the psychiatric nomenclature, the reader is referred to this reference manual. We are indebted to Susan Domaschk for her help in preparing this book. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION In the four years since this book was last revised a number of important events have occurred in psychiatry. Some of these include: the introduction of the DSM- III-R (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition, Revised, American Psychiatric Association, 1987) Read more:Simple

Heart Failure: A Comprehensive Guide to Diagnosis and Treatment 2007-06-30 23:31:00 Editor: G. William Dec (Marcel Dekker) "Heart
failure is a growing world-wide epidemic with a prevalence of more than 5 million cases in the United States and 6.5 million cases in Europe. Epidemiologic data demonstrate a rapid increase in its incidence during the past two decades. This trend is likely to continue as the population ages. It is currently the most common hospital discharge diagnosis for patients over the age of 65 years and accounts for substantial morbidity and high mortality. Fortunately, major advances have occurred in our understanding of the cellular mechanisms, pathophysiological abnormalities, nonpharmacologic therapy and surgical therapeutic options for this syndrome during the past decade. This textbook focuses the most recent developments in the pathogenesis, etiologic considerations, diagnosis, and treatment of heart failure and has been written by internationally recognized physicians and scientists involved on a daily basis in heart failure research and clini Read more:Guide

The Encyclopedia of Cancer 2007-06-30 23:28:00 Carol Turkington & William LiPera (Facts On File, Inc.) "In 2004 an estimated 1.4 million people in the United States will have been diagnosed with cancer, and 563,700 of these will die of their disease. Good news, however, is on the horizon. Death rates from the four most common cancers—lung, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers—are on the decline. For all cancers combined, the death rate has begun to destabilize. The steep decline in lung cancer rates in men and the recent slowing of the increased rates in women demonstrate the value of eduction and the impact of the antismoking campaign. Death rates from breast cancer continue to fall despite a gradual long-term increase in the rate of new diagnoses. Both these observations may be due in part to the increased use of mammographic screening, but other factors may be responsible as well. Many advances in oncology (the study of tumors) have resulted from close interaction between the basic scientist and the clinical research Read more:Encyclopedia

ABC of Resuscitation, Fifth Edition 2007-06-30 23:24:00 Edited by M C Colquhoun, A J Handley and T R Evans (BMJ Books) "The formation of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) in 1992 was a landmark in international cooperation to improve the management of patients who suffer cardiopulmonary arrest. By the second half of the 1990s, common resuscitation guidelines were in use throughout most of Europe and in many other countries worldwide. At the same time, it became widely recognised that there was inadequate scientific evidence on which to base recommendations for best practice in many areas of resuscitation. During the late 1990s an extensive review was undertaken of the scientific evidence on which current resuscitation practice was based. Two international conferences, and extensive work by subcommittees that examined individual topics in detail, led to the publication of the International Guidelines 2000. This represents a consensus based on a critical evaluation of the scientific evidence on which current practic Read more:Edition
