Free eBooK : Meta-analysis in Medical Research

Meta-analysis in Medical Research

Review
"The book's real selling point is the Metanalysis program which can use odds ratios and absolute risk differences...There are nine different options for plotting graphs, and the program produces very neat Galbraith plots which can be difficult to create elsewhere...
...People wanting to use an easy program for meta-analysis or to revise the methods of meta-analysis could consider buying this book."
- Royal Statistical Society, Series A, Vol 168(4) Oct 05.
"This is a concise and easy-to-read book written by a clinician so it takes into account problems faced by non-statisticians when dealing with tools such as meta-analysis...I would recommend it to all statisticians or clinicians who aspire to be/are involved in clinical research. In addition, it will be a useful book for any health sciences library."

Environmental Factors in Skin Disease

In recent years, new technologies to investigate skin response have allowed researchers to explore the interplay of environmental and genomic elements in skin cell biology, decipher the biochemical steps undertaken in the process, and study the genetics underlying variations in skin response to the environment. In this volume the state-of-the-art findings, ranging from molecular biology to epidemiology, are discussed thoroughly. The publication thus provides new insights for dermatologists, allergologists and immunologists who seek a better understanding of disease processes and new therapeutic strategies.

Oxford Dictionary of Medical Quotations

The Oxford Dictionary of Medical Quotations presents a wonderfully entertaining and eclectic range of quotations covering all aspects of medicine through the ages. It couples profound statements from famous scientists with witty one-liners from the likes of Woody Allen and Spike Milligan. Packed with hundreds of quotations, it is a book that anyone in the medical profession, or with an interest in health, will find an invaluable source of reference and considerable entertainment. A few examples: “I’m not afraid to die. I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” - Woody Allen “The only cure for sea-sickness is to sit on the shady side of an old brick church in the country.” - English sailors’ proverb “The nurse should never neglect to attend to the patient’s bodily hygiene on the pretext that such measures do little good and are not urgent.” - Florence Nightingale

Free E-Book : Atlas of Emergency Medicine

Atlas of Emergency Medicine

Site Source :
Amazon.com

Text alone is simply not sufficient for assimilating the enormous amount of clinical knowledge necessary in today's practice of emergency medicine. Volumes of well-written text simply cannot replace what our eyes experience. The success of the first edition of Atlas of Emergency Medicine has born this out. The second edition significantly enlarges upon this theme by expanding the content and scope of the first edition.

We have incorporated the many changes suggested by the readership into this new edition. Feedback from journal reviews and abundant personal interactions has resulted in updates in every chapter with new items and photography. Another powerful source of the changes is the ever-evolving nature of our specialty. The addition of new chapters on Forensics, Wounds and Soft Tissue Injuries, Ultrasound, and HIV stems from our attempt to adjust to the ongoing transitions in emergency medicine. These areas are becoming prominent in our daily practice and deserve more dedicated attention.

Our goal is to continue to improve the Atlas with changes to future editions guided by reader feedback. All criticism is considered a "gift" and is accepted with gratitude and thanks. We hope this interchange with the readership will continue.

Atlas of Emergency Medicine, second edition, continues to serve as the reference and teaching guide to the visual clues seen in emergency medicine. Despite the information explosion since the publication of the first edition, none of the many different atlases and color guides available today are comprehensive enough for use as a single reference in the Emergency Department or acute care clinic. The Atlas is not meant to be a comprehensive text nor a treatise on diagnosis. The images collected portray the scope and breadth of emergency practice and, as such, represent the most comprehensive collection of excellent emergency clinical images. Outside of the Atlas, such a book does not exist and we envision this text to continue to fill this void.
