Color Atlas of Local and Systemic Signs of Cardiovascular Disease

his brief guide to visual diagnosis helps the novice develop — and the veteran refresh — crucial skills that can spare the patient unnecessary testing and bring the physician one step closer to an accurate diagnosis.
Dr Saksena draws on his years of experience in teaching and training to show you the physical signs of cardiovascular disease that can be spotted by visual examination. For each sign, a color photograph is paired with explanatory text that:

  • describes the significant features of the sign
  • explains its use in diagnosis
  • identifies the likeliest causes

The book provides corroboration of physical signs and other diagnostic information whenever possible and offers extensive references for further study.
After an opening chapter on general observations, the author describes signs that can be found in the face, ear, mouth and nose, neck, hand, upper extremity, thorax and back, abdomen, and lower extremity. An appendix covers rarer syndromes associated with cardiovascular disease.
Whether you are just developing your diagnostic skills or want to be better able to identify signs of cardiovascular disease, you can count on this atlas for dependable advice.

Tea in Health and Disease Prevention

While there have been many claims of the benefits of teas through the years, and while there is nearly universal agreement that drinking tea can benefit health, there is still a concern over whether the lab-generated results are representative of real-life benefit, what the risk of toxicity might be, and what the effective-level thresholds are for various purposes. Clearly there are still questions about the efficacy and use of tea for health benefit.
This book presents a comprehensive look at the compounds in black, green, and white teas, their reported benefits (or toxicity risks) and also explores them on a health-condition specific level, providing researchers and academics with a single-volume resource to help in identifying potential treatment uses. No other book on the market considers all the varieties of teas in one volume, or takes the disease-focused approach that will assist in directing further research and studies.

* Interdisciplinary presentation of material assists in identifying potential cross-over benefits and similarities between tea sources and diseases
* Assists in identifying therapeutic benefits for new product development
*Includes coverage and comparison of the most important types of tea – green, black and white

Basic Electrocardiography: Normal and Abnormal ECG Patterns (Blackwell’s At a Glance Series)

Electrocardiography is a simple investigation to perform, but accurate interpretation can be challenging. This book takes a logical and systematic approach to ECG interpretation, beginning with the basics of normal variations and dealing in turn with atrial abnormalities, ventricular enlargement, ventricular conduction defects and ischemic heart disease.
Extensively illustrated with ECG tracings that complement the text, this book provides clear and concise explanations of traditional concepts of electrocardiography and combines them with updates on the most recent developments in the field.
In 22 clinical cases, Professor BayƩs de Luna illustrates the principles of the book by integrating electrocardiographic features with clinical findings for a thorough and methodical approach to cardiac disease. Regular self-assessments allow readers to evaluate their understanding of the ECG and reinforce key concepts.
This book is an ideal introduction to normal and abnormal ECG patterns. It is particularly valuable for medical students, residents / junior doctors and nurses who wish to broaden their skills in electrocardiography.

Diabetes Management in Primary Care

Customer Reviews
1. Amazingly comprehensive review of all aspects of diabetes. This book is up to date, evidence-based, case based and most importantly, written from the heart. Rarely do medical text books read like novels. This is the exception. Check out the chapter on managing mental illness in patients with diabetes. The complications chapter is the most comprehensive and current review I have encountered.
2. I just bought my hard copy last month and I have also heard Dr Jeff Unger in person on diabetes seminars. He is a primary care physician and being primary care physician myself this book is all I need to know improve diabetes care for my patients. This is not a Harisson or a detailed Thesis on Diabetes but practicle great point of care informations and diferent tools which can be used in an office settings to educate patient and office staff to improve diabetes care. With the fact that 90% of Diabetic population in US (out of approx 22 million people with diabetes)being taken care by Primary care physicians this is a must have tool I believe. The only thing better than the book is to hear Dr Jeff Uner in person. I would definately recommened this book to every Primary care MD or residents.
3. If you treat Diabetic patients you should get this book.
Written by a diabetic Family Physician who understands that to treat diabetes you need to “think like a pancreas.” This book was written to provide primary care doctors the tools we need to care for these challenging patients. I got this book the first week it was out and I haven’t regreted it.
With the explosion of Diabetes there are not enough consultant physicians (specialists) out there to care for all of these patients. Dr Unger provides the information we need to provide excellent care for our diabetic patients.
I cannot praise this book enough. The only thing better is hear Dr Unger lecture on Diabetic Care in person.
Book Description
