Book Description

“This is the sixth edition of this comprehensive book that covers the breadth and diversity of family practice. The book continues its strong tradition of a clinically oriented approach directed towards front line family practitioners… This sixth edition is without question the strongest, most comprehensive version yet. Regrettably, this is the last edition for which Dr. Taylor will serve as editor. This outstanding work will serve not only as an excellent book, but as a tribute and a testament to Dr. Taylor’s outstanding contribution to the medical literature.”

Book Description

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western World. The knowledge base about acute myocardial infarction continues to accrue rapidly with information about pathophysiology, epidemiology, reperfusion therapy, as well as adjunctive treatment strategies. There are however areas where substantial more investigation is required. These include among others 1) patient education strategies for earlier recognition of symptoms which would facilitate earlier and more effective therapy, 2) means to maximize myocardial flow rather than just epicardial flow very early on, 3) an approach to improve myocardial salvage with either adjunctive approaches which are pharmacologic or mechanical, 4) secondary prevention after the initial event including the need for testing and treatment with multiple antiplatelet strategies, 5) ways to define and delivery optimal care with patients with acute myocardial infarction, and 6) new approaches to myocardial cell regeneration therapy. Approaches to these issues will define the future of the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. In this issue of the Medical Clinics of North America, Guest Edited by luminaries David Holmes and Mandeep Singh, we explore these areas and define what works, what has not worked, and what may work in the future.

Book Description

This book provides an innovative international forum for the researchers, developers, and practitioners who are actively expanding the role of electronic technologies in healthcare. The contributions are by pioneers in all aspects of the field: telemedicine, simulation, computer-assisted surgery, haptics, robotics, education, diagnostics, etc. Leading edge developments and current clinical experience are brought together for the purpose of exploring ways to improve medical care.

Mental health implications of new electronic technologies are also discussed. This book has a special focus on virtual reality as a means of bringing practitioner and patient closer in the pursuit of healing. Rather than superseding the talents of healthcare professionals, interactive computer-based tools have the ability to enhance the traditional dialogue of care. In addition, these tools can be used to integrate useful qualities of complementary therapies into allopathic medicine. Sight, touch, sound and other senses can be linked and augmented in ways previously unimagined, ultimately to benefit the patient.

A seasoned inner-city family physician concisely surveys the normal obstetrics encountered in a busy medical practice to provide a practical guide to the evaluation and management of common prenatal, peripartum, and postpartum complications. For each stage, Dr. Lyons addresses the major issues and problems, spelling out in detail management protocols about why and what action is to be taken, when it is to be done, and how it is to be interpreted. The key points for each topic are summarized in tabular form for quick reference, and diagnostic flow charts illuminate all aspects of the decision-making process. Expert advice based on years of experience is also presented concerning physical and ultrasound examinations, laboratory tests, drug toxicities, and screening techniques.
