Review
"For anyone who feels they are competent at reading twelve lead ECGs this would be good for sharpening your skills of diagnosis, or even as a refresher. I think this is the best read and best buy of John Hampton s three books on the ECG, the others being The ECG Made Easy and The ECG in Practice as the recordings are presented in random order and the readers interest should be maintained throughout. The tracings are all graded for difficult; medical student, house officer, paramedic or nurse, and MRCP standard. Each twelve lead ECG in this book has a case history, and the answers are brief but to the point; listing ECG features, clinical interpretation, and importantly What to do . With a minimal amount of text and plenty of recordings this is good value if you have grasped the basics as in The ECG Made Easy . This book will act as a handy pocket reference with its comprehensive index as all the recordings are cross referenced with The ECG Made Easy and The ECG in Practice . An enjoyable and challenging book for most health care workers."Review on Amazon.co.ukelectrocardiogram (ECG) can be a great leveller in medicine. It is common to see various combinations of medical students, nurses, junior doctors and specialists huddled around an ECG, debating what it shows. With his latest pocket sized text, John Hampton succeeds in further demystifying what in theory should be a relatively basic medical skill but in the real world sometimes proves to be quite the opposite.One hundred ECGs are shown, each with a brief clinical vignette and a management question. On the next page salient features of the ECG are described, followed by a clinical interpretation and brief discussion about the management of the condition described. Each ECG abnormality is also cross referenced to the author swell known previous texts The ECG made easy and The ECG in practice.The strengths of Professor Hampton s book are many. The combination of a brief history and clinically relevant question not only challenges the reader to give extra thought to the interpretation, but also makes the learning process far more enjoyable. The ECGs are randomly arranged rather than being grouped together according to the disease process or rhythm abnormality they represent, mirroring the manner in which medical personnel are confronted with ECGs in their day to day practice (or examination hall). Each ECG is also rated to indicate the degree of difficulty, allowing readers to make a rough self assessment of their level of competence.Although limited by the physical dimensions of the book, the clarity of the tracings is generally excellent, and the spectrum of ECGs shown (from normal variants through to a few clinical rarities) is a good representation of the problems encountered in current medical practice.Rather than being a reference text, 100 ECG problems is primarily designed to be a revision tool for students at all levels preparing for examinations through to more experienced clinicians wanting to refresh and test their knowledge. By combining basic principles of electrophysiology with commonly encountered conditions,Professor Hampton has managed to turn what can often be a somewhat dry and daunting task into one that is both challenging and interesting."Review in Medical Journal of Australia

Book DescriptionHere's a practical resource for developing ECG interpretation skills. 150 12-lead ECG strips and their associated case histories challenge readers to formulate diagnoses for a wide variety of cardiac abnormalities. Detailed an-swers and explanations allow readers to see whether they reached the correct conclusions.

A Century of Nobel Prize Recipients: Chemistry, Physics, and Medicine (Neurological Disease & Therapy)   
Leroy F.
CRC Press; 2003; pp.300; ISBN: 0824708768

From School Library Journal

Grade 9 Up--This eye-catching resource profiles no fewer than 450 scientists. The volume is arranged first by discipline, then by date, covering laureates from 1901 to 2001. The introduction to each section describes 20th-century advances, such as the synthesis of such compounds as ammonia, fertilizers, and plastics, and recent research in molecular, supra molecular, and materials chemistry. Individual entries include a portrait, birthdate and place, description and fruition of the research, and career development. Entry style varies slightly in the separately authored sections--physics essays contain quotes and hobbies, chemistry and medicine essays include fathers' occupations. Essays on notable laureates such as Enrico Fermi, Thomas Hunt Morgan, and Linus Pauling are longer than those on lesser-known people. Original artwork, colorful captioned drawings of models and structures, and diagrams illustrate complex scientific principles and may invite browsing. Collaborative awards are cross-referenced in bold type and non-Nobelist contributors to the work, including many women, are credited but not indexed. Name and subject indexes and a table of the science awards by year are included. Both George Thomas Kurian's The Nobel Scientists (Prometheus, 2002) and Nobel Prize Winners (1987) and Supplement (1997, both H. W. Wilson) have lengthier entries but lack Recipients' great graphics and appealing format.--Vicki Reutter, Cazenovia High School, NY Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Review
Review of the first edition '... should be read thoroughly by any pediatric resident, genetic resident, or clinical fellow caring for patients with metabolic disorders.' American Journal of Medical Genetics'The writing is lucid, direct and salted with personal observations. Clarke's teaching skills shine forth from each page ... It succeeds admirably, effectively demystifying the anxiety-provoking world of inherited biochemical illness.' Canadian Medical Association Journal'If your clinical work brings you into contact with patients who may be hiding an inherited metabolic disease, Clarke's guide is for you. Clearly it will be of greatest help to paediatricians.' Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine

Book Description
This clinically organized, user-friendly, handbook is intended to help general physicians and medical specialists in training with the first critical steps in clinical diagnosis: how to determine that this is an inherited metabolic disease, and where to go from here to establish a diagnosis. It is a well-illustrated text that is organized around the clinical presentation of the disease. Biochemical and metabolic concepts are presented in a clinically relevant context. It functions to complement more traditional textbooks which are organized biochemically. The book serves as an entrance to the discipline, to help non-expert physicians and advanced medical trainees to overcome the intimidation they are accustomed to experiencing when dealing with metabolic problems. This new edition has been expanded to include substantially more on mitochondrial diseases, new imaging techniques, and new techniques for screening and diagnosis.

Rating
4 Stars! from Doody

From The Critics
Doody Review Services
Reviewer: Michael Raff, MD (University of Washington School of Medicine)
Description: This new edition of Dr. Clarke's well-regarded 1996 book successfully maintains the practical, lucid style that characterizes its predecessor. It continues more than ever to render metabolic disorders accessible by distilling relevant information into a manageable small volume.
Purpose: This book is intended for all clinicians who care for individuals who have, or may have, inherited metabolic disorders.
Audience: Its symptoms-oriented organization ensures that residents in pediatrics, family medicine, and genetics will find it worth their spare time. It is equally valuable for the busy practitioner with a challenging patient. A few minutes with the relevant chapter should allow a quick formulation of the differential diagnosis and investigative plan. It also succeeds in being sufficiently interesting and readable that physicians in all stages of their careers will find it worthy of quiet review after hours. Whether as a component of studying for board examinations or simply to increase one's comfort in this potentially intimidating area, Dr. Clarke's expertise and eloquence should be welcomed.
Features: The 10 chapters of this approximately 250-page book are logically divided. After an introductory chapter, chapters two through seven are for the most part organized by initial clinical symptomatology. The exceptions to this are chapters three and seven which address, respectively, metabolic acidosis (which some might consider a "symptom" in the context of metabolic disease) and the newborn with acute metabolic illness (the most dramatic type of clinical presentation in this field). These chapters are easy to read, are thorough yet concise, and are highly recommended to every trainee and practitioner of pediatrics and medical genetics. The remaining three chapters deal with the clinical laboratory and therapeutic interventions. These chapters are equally enjoyable, though slightly less practical for on-the-job reference.
Assessment: This book has been appropriately revised and updated since its first edition. The symptoms-oriented chapters have more clinical, radiological, and laboratory illustrations. The laboratory and treatment chapters have been completely updated to reflect new technologies and increased knowledge. This book is unsurpassed for a straightforward comprehensible review on the approach to the patient with a metabolic disorder. For a concise outline of laboratory investigations and interpretation of results, another book of value is Inherited Metabolic Diseases by Hoffmann et al. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2002):which is the other useful handbook in the field of metabolic disorders. The Hoffmann book is more detailed in content but less flowing in style. In sum, Clarke's book is of great value to the clinician and should be required reading in pediatric and medical genetics training programs.

A Contingency Table Approach to Nonparametric Testing   
Rayner J.C., Best D.J.
2000; pp.264; ISBN: 1584881615

Book Description

Most texts on nonparametric techniques concentrate on location and linear-linear (correlation) tests, with less emphasis on dispersion effects and linear-quadratic tests. Tests for higher moment effects are virtually ignored. Using a fresh approach, A Contingency Table Approach to Nonparametric Testing unifies and extends the popular, standard tests by linking them to tests based on models for data that can be presented in contingency tables. This approach unifies popular nonparametric statistical inference and makes the traditional, most commonly performed nonparametric analyses much more complete and informative. It also makes tied data easily handled, and almost exact Monte Carlo p-values can be obtained. With data in contingency tables, one can then calculate a Pearson-type, chi-squared statistic and its components. For univariate data, the initial tests based on these components detect mean differences between treatments. For bivariate data, they detect correlations. This approach leads to tests that detect variance, skewness, and higher moment differences between treatments with univariate data, and higher bivariate moment differences with bivariate data. Although the methods advanced in this book have their genesis in traditional nonparametrics, incorporating the power of modern computers makes the approach more complete and more valid than previously possible. The authors' unified treatment and readable style make the subject easy to follow and the techniques easily implemented, whether you are a fledgling or a seasoned researcher.

Review

"It defines terms of the post-genomic era and includes not only strictly genetic terms, but also genetics-related words encountered in the scientific literature." --Quarterly Review of Biology"The latest edition of A Dictionary of Genetics is a fantastic reference and very useful to me. It is by far the most scholarly dictionary I have had the pleasure of using that strongly interfaces with evolutionary biology."-- Bruce G. Baldwin, Curator of the Jepson Herbarium, Integrative Biology, University of California at Berkeley."King, Stansfield and Mulligan defeat the notion of a dull dictionary. If you look up a definition you get carried away and find dozens of other things that you want to read about. It is equally useful and stimulating for young students and old timers working in the field."--Walter J. Gehring, Division of Cell Biology, University of Basel"This latest edition is a welcome update of the most useful and reliable reference work in the area."--Joseph G. Gall, Department of Embryology, Carnegie Institution of Washington"There are many new terms, modifications of some previous definitions, plus very worthwhile expansions of the previous appendices. The authors' meticulous editing and succinct writing provides a well organized global coverage of genetics, cellular, developmental, molecular, and evolutionary biology."--Ellen Rasch, J. M. Quillen College of Medicine, East Tennessee State University"A Dictionary of Genetics is a fascinating collection. Its remarkable breadth of coverage ensures that a simple flip through the pages will be educational, yet the information is detailed enough to make the book a valuable reference for the specialist. The chronology of biological discoveries provides a true sense of the excitement and rapid pace of progress in modern biology."--Paul Lasko, Department of Biology, McGill University"This is the most useful book on my genetics bookshelf! King, Stansfield, and Mulligan have updated the outstanding 6th edition to produce an amazing 7th edition. I recommend this well-organized and easy to read reference to students and faculty alike."--Susanne M. Gollin, Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh

The Dictionary of Neurological Signs can be almost as well described in terms of what the book is not, along with details about what it is. The Dictionary is not a handbook for treatment of neuropathies. While many entries provide the latest treatment options, up-to-the-minute therapies are not discussed in bedside level detail. The Dictionary is not a board review book because it is not in Q&A format but could easily serve in that capacity since each entry is a fairly complete snapshot of a specific disorder or disease. The Dictionary is an alphabetical listing of commonly presenting neurological diseases and disorders designed to guide the physician toward the correct clinical diagnosis. The content is focused, problem-based, concise and practical. The structured entries in this practical, clinical resource provide a thumbnail of a wide range of neurological signs. Each entry includes: • definition of the sign • a brief account of the clinical technique required to elicit the sign • description of the other signs which may accompany the index sign • explanation of pathyophysiological and/or pharmacological background • differential diagnosis • brief treatment details. Where known, the entries also include neuroanatomical basis of the sign. The Dictionary provides practical, concise answers to complex clinical questions.

Review
[This book] treats … various topics … in a logical sequence. The references are extensive and provide the reader with valuable guidance to the relevant literature, especially in the pharmaceutical sciences. … [T]his book provides an excellent foundation for a didactic course in particulate science or powder technology. … [It] will likewise be valuable to scientists who are eager to acquire basic knowledge of particulate science in pharmaceutics. - Pharmaceutical ResearchA useful guide to the subject…the volume covers a gap in the existing literature and should be on the shelves of company libraries.- Organic Process Research and Development Journal

Book Description
Exploring the growth in knowledge of particle properties and the variety of technological advances in particle manufacture, this book gives readers the tools they need to understand particulate science and its use in the industry. The authors cover particulate material, its form and production, sampling from bodies of powder, particle size descriptors and statistics, behavior of particles, instrumental analysis, particle size measurement and synergy of adopted techniques, physical behavior of a powder, and in vitro and in vivo performance criteria. They draw the components of particulate science into a single concise description of their integration in the context of product development.

From the Publisher
The pharmaceutical applications of powder technology have long been recognized. Yet while many books focus on aspects of powder formation and behavior, there has been no text that explores the power of particulate science in the design, manufacture, and control of quality medicines. Until now. A Guide to Pharmaceutical Particulate Science discusses key principles of particulate science and their practical applications. The authors cover particulate material, its form and production, sampling from bodies of powder, particle size descriptors and statistics, behavior of particles, instrumental analysis, particle size measurement and synergy of adopted techniques, physical behavior of a powder, and in vitro and in vivo performance criteria. They draw the components of particulate science into a single concise description of their current and potential uses in product development. Exploring the growth in knowledge of particle properties and the variety of technological advances in particle manufacture, A Guide to Pharmaceutical Particulate Science gives readers the tools they need to grasp the science and its use in the industry.

A Guide to Protein Isolation   
Dennison C.
Kluwer Academic Publishers; 2002; pp.195; ISBN: 0792357515

This text takes the reader on a guided tour through the philosophical and physical foundations of protein isolation. Aimed at a student readership, it will also be very useful to life science researchers faced with the task of isolating a protein for the first time. The logic of the overall approach to isolating a protein is explained and the physical principles of each separation method are made clear by the use of simple models and analogies, drawn from everyday experiences. The author's aim has been to deepen the readers' insight into protein isolation methods, so that they may tackle new problems and perhaps devise new approaches to old problems. Many of the methods described are drawn from the author's own research and are thus uniquely described here: examples are three-phase partitioning, non-linear electrophoresis, and a simple approach to buffer making.
