Harvard University Press Shaken Brain
Book SynopsisSports concussions make headlines, but you don't have to be an NFL star to suffer traumatic brain injury. In Shaken Brain, Elizabeth Sandel, MD, shares stories and research from her decades treating and studying brain injuries. She explains what concussions do to our bodies, how to avoid them, and how to recover.Trade ReviewA fascinating page turner. Propelled by Dr. Sandel’s exceptional storytelling and clinical expertise, Shaken Brain sheds light on the myths and misunderstandings surrounding concussions, and their consequential impact on so many lives. -- Marilyn Spivack, cofounder and past President, Brain Injury Association of AmericaA thoroughly engaging and enlightening account, this book explores the often perplexing issues and controversies surrounding post-concussion symptoms. A vital read. -- Mel Glenn, MD, Spaulding Rehabilitation NetworkI was a doctor in 2002 when I suffered a traumatic brain injury. Even in my position, it was difficult to find information about post-concussive consequences and care. Shaken Brain fills in the gaps. Uniting clinical research, scientific data, and personal stories, this crucial resource is one that both physicians and their patients can look to for answers. -- Cheryle Sullivan, MD, author of Brain Injury Survival KitThe first step to improving concussion care is improving concussion education. Whether you’re an athlete, a parent, a medical professional, or none of the above, having the proper knowledge about what a concussion is and what to do when one is sustained can often be the difference between a quick recovery and a lengthy one. A book like Shaken Brain offers needed information. -- Brittni Souder, former soccer player and Board Member, PINK ConcussionsShaken Brain is frank, accessible, and authoritative—a crucial tool for sharing medical knowledge. Read this book if you are a traumatic brain injury survivor, a clinician, a family member, or simply interested in learning more about brain health. -- David Cifu, MD, Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine and the US Department of Veterans AffairsA physician with over 25 years’ experience studying and treating concussion details what happens in the human brain when it is injured, and how medical providers can help…Emphasizing that it isn’t just athletes who need to worry, Sandel examines the high incidence of concussion among certain vulnerable populations, including the very young, elderly, homeless or impoverished, and victims of child abuse or domestic violence. To that end, she looks at prevention as a public health issue…Her expertly presented and researched work will be invaluable for anyone concerned about concussions. * Publishers Weekly *I recommend Shaken Brain to anyone interested in a deeper, nuanced understanding of concussion/mild TBI. Dr. Sandel effortlessly conveys the information typically found in a textbook with the ease and style of a novelist. It is a valuable resource for patients who have experienced concussion and their families, as well as for the physicians, therapists, and scientists who have made it their life’s work to help them. -- John Leddy * Brain Injury *

Royal Society of Chemistry Bile Acids
Book SynopsisBile acids are increasingly being seen as extremely important carcinogenic agents in cancers of the bile duct, liver, colon, rectum, and oesophagus. They are essential agents involved in lipid digestion and absorption in mammals, however, they also play wide-ranging roles in a variety of disease states ranging from diabetes to cancer. They have evolved exquisite mechanisms for controlling their own synthesis and to ensure that they are produced at correct concentrations and also kept in the correct anatomical environment. It is only when these fine levels of controls are breached that Bile acids become associated with disease. This breaching of control mechanisms can occur through dietary means (e.g. in obesity) whereby excessive levels of Bile acids are produced and converted (via the bacterial flora) to damaging secondary Bile acids. Furthermore, lack of re-absorption of Bile acids can lead to liver pathologies. The atypical movement of Bile acids into the oesophagus, stimulated by eTrade Review"One can only admire the efforts of the editors, who managed to include so many subjects in just over 150 pages, each covered in a short concise text, with each chapter ending with a succinct summary of the main ideas of the chapter, of great help when one wishes to just see the main ideas on one topic such as the way in which bile acids promote carcinogenesis in general, or in a specific part of the gastrointestinal tract." "One can recommend Bile Acids: Toxicology and Bioactivity to everyone who wishes to gain new insights into this field, not only because it represents, even now, one of the few texts available, but also (and mainly) due to its great quality of covering the field in a concise but comprehensive manner.

Pharmaceutical Press Minor Illness or Major Disease
Book SynopsisMinor Illness or Major Disease is a well-established undergraduate textbook covering the diagnosis and management of the illnesses and diseases frequently encountered in community pharmacy practice.Trade ReviewThis latest edition offers a new approach to the management of minor illness, the most obvious difference from previous editions being the reformatting of the book to mirror the structure of the British National Formulary. The book also uses the problem-based learning approach where minor illnesses are discussed in the context of case studies. A pharmacist and a general medical practitioner or dietitian responds to the case. This illustrates the similarities and differences in approach by two different healthcare professionals. Each chapter ends with a series of self-assessment questions, the styles of which reflect those encountered in university or professional examinations. The book is well structured and easy to use. The tables are clear and concise and the photographs and illustrations are of the highest quality. It should be read by pharmacy undergraduates and preregistration trainees, and it will also be of great value to community pharmacists. -- Laurence A. Goldberg * The Pharmaceutical Journal *The latest incarnation of such a valuable text comes courtesy of the well-established and renowned Pharmacy Practice team at Robert Gordons University Aberdeen... Differential diagnostic reasoning is presented throughout the chapter text, thereby allowing the reader to feel better informed when they ask that question of themselves - "Is this a Minor Illness or a Major Disease?" - when confronted with any clinical presentation... Text presentation is clear, concise and well delivered, with the result that the book itself represents an easily-accessible reference resource for the reader which can be cross-referenced with the BNF... The sixth edition of Minor Illness or Major Disease provides us with a timely update to what is already a stalwart within the Community Pharmacy practice resource library. -- Noel Stenson * Irish Pharmacy Union *Table of Contents1.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Bickerstaffs Neurological Examination in Clinical
Book SynopsisAs teachers of neurology to postgraduates, the authors found that most students had a good general idea of the parts of a neurological examination but were unclear about many other specifics. These included, among others, the best methods of carrying out the various tests; the purpose of each test; how to overcome technical difficulties; the true meaning of abnormal findings; and how to avoid arriving at false conclusions. This book details methods that have stood the test of time and additionally outlines some newer methods that are are already proving their value. In no sense is this book either a textbook of neurology or a guide to neurological diagnosis. It does, however, aim to help the reader become sufficiently conversant with specific exam techniques to be able to approach neurological cases with much more confidence.
