A book that covers the basics of the most common ocular conditions and the simplest explanations available on the pharmacology of the usual medications. An excellent teaching guide!

The essential guide for the resident ophthalmologist or ophthalmologist who wants all the essential information of ophthalmology in one small paperback. This is like having the entire BCSC series in one small book--but even better because only the essential facts are presented. This book is very well organized and finding information quickly is very easy. All the information is very up-to-date as well. No library is complete without this essential text.

The color guide contains handy informations and illustrations I need in the diagnosis of oral diseases. It is so compact that it fits into the side pocket of my laboratory gown making it a very handy quick reference wherever and whenever I am, may it be at the laboratory or during classes.

It is well understood that the OKU series is an excellent resource for those training in orthopaedic surgery at any level. OKU Hip and Knee Reconstruction 2 upholds this tradition splendindly.

Furthermore, OKU continues the tradition of supplying the reader with a classic bibliography which is priceless and saves hours of medline searching through less relevant papers before finding a well developed study. Surgical indications and techniques are well described, and the most current controvesial topics covered. Every orhtopaedic resident in the United States should have this text.

It is a excellent book, which describes all about I want toknow the most recents concepts in the Spine field, with the most remarkable authors and investigators.

I got this book by mistake, but on reading over it, I realized it is excellent. Most primary care providers have woefully little training and experience in common musculoskeletal disorders and there is much here that is not only interesting, but very helpful. If nothing else, reading it over and keeping it for a reference greatly increases one's awareness of musculoskeletal problems and how they are handled. Great for talking over cases with orthopedists. I had to learn most of this the hard way. Having had this long ago would have made my practice so much easier.

when Eva Snead researches a topic she does it thoroughly. this work is a comprehensive examination of BOTH convential/ allopathic and alternative/ natural approaches to prevention and treatment.Unlike many other authors of wholistic bent she gives credit to orthodox physicians and scientists when due and she also challenges some accepted 90's "natural" hype when it isn't backed up by good research or might pose a risk for the consumer. It is a very technical disussion but just when it might get too dry eva provides some witism for which she is famous.And she always makes sure to translate medicalese into laymans language for the reader's benefit.There is a wonderful explanation of chelation therapy, another of cellular electron bond/ionization/free radical theory. She handles diet and other environmental contributors to bone health. 27 pages of references from peer review publications and a terrific glossary of 15 pages.And an encouraging summary that explains that this scourge of osteoporosis is not just treatable but even reversible.

This book is a concise summary of the features of almost all pathologic entities. The first 35 pages deal with clinical pathology and basic science, summarizing in this short space what Robbins takes 600 pages to explain. The remainder of the text is devoted to anatomic pathology (including hematopathology) and is a great reference next to the microscope. The only problem is that there are no pictures.

After having been diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in 1999, I was anxious to obtain a copy. This book, I believe, is a must read for those newly diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. While I had done a lot of research on my own and of course received advice from my Oncologists, I felt that this book put everything into perspective. It helped me to understand the basis of my Oncologists' recommendations. The contributors to the book are all leading international Gynecologic/Medical Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists, Pathologists - all those whose main interests lie in Ovarian/Gynecologic cancers. As medical technology and new information resulting from clinical trials become available, it would be helpful to have a Second Edition update sometime in the not so distant future.

This book is wonderful. I received this book at my daughter's 8week check up. I wish I would have had it for my first child. I think I had every other parent's guide.

The Manual is a quick reference for all the many questions you may have. The contents of the book covers ages two weeks to two yrs. It is divided into sections 2-4wks, 2mths, 4 mths, 6 mths...to 2 yrs, and talks about nutrition, concerns, development and suggestions. The contents also include common illnesses, immunizations schedule, behavior/discipline, developmental milestones and more. You won't be disappointed.

This book will be my new gift at baby showers. It is a must for new moms.
