250 Cases In Clinical Medicine


250 Cases In Clinical Medicine
By Ragavendra R.Baliga

A collection of short cases arranged by clinical area, emphasising the key diagnostic features of clinical conditions as commonly presented in the short case part of the Final MB and MRCP examinations. Also included are likely instructions or commands expected from the examiner for each condition, and the key points which the candidate must tell the examiner. In June 2001 the MRCP short cases exam is being replaced with a new OSCE-style exam called PACES (Practice Assessment of Clinical Examination Skills) and this book will take full account of this change.

Chronic Leukemias and Lymphomas: Biology, Pathophysiology & Clinical Management


Chronic Leukemias and Lymphomas: Biology, Pathophysiology & Clinical Management
By Gary J.Schiller

"The book summarizes well the most recent insights into molecular pathogenesis of chronic hematologic diseases including chronic leukemias, myelo- and lymphoproliferative diseases, lymphomas and multiple myeloma, and their relevance for assessment of prognosis and management decisions. The results of trials evaluating novel targeted therapies are presented, succinctly providing reader with the most current information...This is a very useful book since it covers the most recent achievements and "hot" topics in chronic hematologic diseases in a concise format. The up-to-date information that it provides might not be available in larger textbooks, and thus it is highly recommended for practitioners and researchers."
-------Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal

Book Description:
In Chronic Leukemias and Lymphomas: Clinical Management, a panel of recognized experts in hematological oncology describe the unique biological features of indolent hematologic neoplasms, providing powerful insight into their clinical manifestation, highlighting potential targets for novel therapies, and distinguishing these disorders from aggressive lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease. In their integrated surveys of these chronic myeloproliferative and lymphoproliferative disorders, the authors emphasize such unique entities as prolymphocytic leukemias and cutaneous lymphomas. Special emphasis is given to the mechanisms of disease progression with authoritative insights into the promising new era of antineoplastic pharmacology

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Primary Care


Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Primary Care
By Margaret Barnett

Until recently COPD was largely neglected by health professionals and viewed as the Cinderella of respiratory conditions. Many patients were seen as heart-sink cases with a self-inflicted disease. But views are now changing and COPD, like other chronic conditions managed within primary care, has taken on a higher profile within the Government and NHS agenda. This book reflects that change. It looks at the treatment of COPD in primary care: in the GP surgery, in outpatient clinics, and through district and community nursing. COPD management does not depend on purely medical intervention; much can be done to help these patients from a psychological, social and holistic perspective to cope with their everyday activities. Patients lead a frightening existence, struggling to breathe and to cope with their symptoms. The book helps nurses and other healthcare professionals to support these patients.

From the Back Cover
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic disease, which encompasses chronic bronchitis, emphysema and chronic asthma. It is a disease that is predominately caused by smoking and unfortunately is on the increase. Although it is one of the most common diseases seen in primary care, until fairly recently has received very little recognition.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease in Primary Care is the first book of its kind to provide health professionals with practical advice and coping strategies for patients and their carers to help enhance their quality of life living with COPD.

Incorporating NICE COPD guidelines it provides practical guidance and information on the following key points:

•Assessment
•Accurate diagnosis
•Managing patients effectively to control their symptoms, particularly breathlessness.


COPD management not only involves medical intervention but also involves caring for the patient from a holistic perspective, which is well illustrated in this book.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease in Primary Care is an essential resource guide for all health professionals caring for patients with COPD. This one book provides all the relevant information required for patients with this condition.
