University of Toronto Press The Newborn A Practical Guide
Book SynopsisConvinced that there is a need for a book in paediatrics that is neither a classical text nor a handbook, but a guide in the management of paediatric problems, the authors have compiled this book for the use of general practitioners, interns, and students. In it they present an orderly investigation of situations which may confront the doctor, stressing the urgency of early diagnosis for which specific treatment is available. Major problems are discussed, and although no attempt has been made to describe all neonatal disease, some of the rarer entities are included, since early recognition is important for successful management. The book beings with “Care of the Full-Term Baby,” and then discusses the major problems of new-borns. A chapter on “Congenital Abnormalities” reviews the main disabilities that can be prevented or treated during the first month of life. Some chapters include definitions of terminology; some present physiological, aetiological, a

University of Toronto Press Applied Muscle Action and Coordination
Book SynopsisThis invaluable handbook provides a basic knowledge of muscle action and co-ordination with which students of occupational therapy can applying specific techniques to specific conditions of muscle insufficiency for the restoration of function. It is particularly designed for those who have already studied anatomy and physiology, and will be useful in conjunction with an authorized anatomy text. Students and teachers of physio-therapy will find considerable value in it. Miss McMurrich's book is the result of many years' experience in teaching anatomy to students of occupational and physical therapy. In her introductory chapter, she endeavours to clarify for beginners any difficulties in the subject matter, and to condense for the advanced reader the existing knowledge on muscle action. Her main contention is that the application of craft-work, games or exercises for the restoration of function can be varied indefinitely if the therapist's knowledge of muscle action and co-ordination

University Press of Mississippi Scorpions of Medical Importance
Book SynopsisThis publication is an account of the distribution, morphology, biology and classification of those scorpions considered to be of medical importance. The book also contains information on the clinical aspects of scorpion envenomation, and on methods for scorpion control.Though the scope of this book is clearly delineated by its title, Scorpions of Medical Importance, Professor Keegan does consider those genera and species of scorpions that are not of medical importance, but commonly occur in association with man, and are often greatly feared. He has done so because of the scorpion's potential as a stimulus for entomophobia. While this fear, created in part by folklore, dramatic but inaccurate literature, and television and motion picture sequences, is useful in areas where dangerously venomous scorpions exist, it has also created much needless apprehension. It will surely be a revelation to many readers that of approximately 800 species that have been described, only about 50 have been reported as being dangerous to man.A valuable feature of Scorpions of Medical Importance is the outstanding drawings that have been used to illustrate the species. It is not often that one comes across drawings so striking in their precision and attention to even the most minute details.As one of the very few books dealing solely with the general subject of scorpions of medical importance, this publication should be a useful reference for all of those interested in the distribution, biology, and control of dangerously venomous scorpions, and in clinical aspects of scorpion envenomation.The book also contains an index, bibliography, and pertinent references to related species not discussed in the book.

Red Lightning Books The Grim Reader
Book SynopsisMany authors draw from headlines or movies rather than personal experience to write drug-related scenes, and the result may be more fiction than fact. So, how can you craft a convincing scene involving accidental use of fentanyl-tainted pot or a murder attempt with grandma's pain pills?A much-needed resource, The Grim Reader details how to write medical scenarios that result in realistic page-turners. As drug inaccuracies multiply in screenplays, scripts, novels, and audio plays, Dr. Miffie Seideman, Pharm.D. provides writers (and editors) with the background and authenticity necessary to develop plausible plotlines, including: • Pertinent drug facts, tips, and symptoms • Symptom timelines • Tips for developing historically accurate scenes • Common street drug names and slang • Sample scenarios to demonstrate how to weave the information into a believable scene • Writing prompts to provide scene starters and offer practice Combining Seideman's pharmacology knowledge with her love for creative writing, The Grim Reader is the ultimate guide to help authors craft accurate drug scenes and avoid medical mistakes.Trade Review"A manuscript-saving must-read resource—An absolute necessity for every mystery thriller writer. Don't type another word without this!"—Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today bestselling author"This is the book I've been waiting for! A practical and informative guide for mystery writers struggling to figure out how to poison a character."—Susan Breen, Author of the Maggie Dove mystery series"This is definitely a handy reference for mystery and crime writers. I already feel smarter. Pick your poisons from among the vast array of legitimate and illicit drugs with help from The Grim Reader. Inject reality into those scenes involving your characters and drugs with details on the history of their use and abuse, the nature and duration of their effects, the usual and sometimes bizarre methods of ingesting, inhaling, injecting, and absorbing them."—Mo Walsh, Co-author of A Miscellany of Murder"[This book] belongs on every crime reader's reference shelf. Nowhere else have I found such detailed information on drugs, their effects, and the timeline for their onset and waning. The author, a pharmacist, covers everything available in the broadly contemporary world, a drug's individual history and development, the side effects and their timelines, slang terms for the drug and using it, along with other aspects of the drug world. If you've wondered how long it takes for ketamine to wear off, the answer is here. In addition to the basic information on the substances and how they affect the body, the author includes writing exercises to lead the reader into understanding and applying the information in their own fiction. If you think you've learned all of what there is to know about the drug world, this will change your mind. This is an invaluable reference by a reliable source, a pharmacist."—Susan Oleksiw, Author of Anita Ray Mystery Series"An essential source for any writer contemplating murder by drugs."—Bridget Finnegan, Author of Odette's: A Quality Gentleman's Club"With a breadth of knowledge and a keen respect for our readers' intelligence, Seideman provides an essential tool for authors who want to poison their darlings with confidence."—Connie Johnson Hambley, Author of The Jessica Trilogy"The Grim Reader provides a fascinating read on how to poison. As a writer of historicals, I especially love the facts on what was available when. A great reference for any writer looking to use poison to kill a fictional character. I'll keep it on my bookshelf."—Frances McNamara, Author of the Nutshell Murder Mystery and Emily Cabot Mysteries series."Every crime writer should have a copy of The Grim Reader on their bookshelf. Can you OD on an SSRI? If a character's white wine suddenly looks blue, what's it been spiked with? How much morphine is in the poppy seeds on my morning bagel? (More than you'd think!) The Grim Reader has answers to every drug-related question you never knew to ask. [This is] an absolutely indispensable reference. Congrats to Miffie Seideman on crafting a great new resource for crime writers everywhere."—Robin Facer, Bestselling mystery author

University of Cincinnati Press Leaving a Legacy – Lessons from the Writings of
Book SynopsisIn the midst of a fast-paced profession, it is increasingly a challenge to pause and reflect on where a person’s life is heading. All can feel overwhelming. In these moments, when nothing seems stable, it can be instructive to pause and study individuals from previous generations who lived fully and left a lasting legacy. To find valuable lessons and perspective on the present, author Dr. Phillip Diller has often turned to man, citizen, writer, educator, and physician, Dr. Daniel Drake, who lived from 1785-1852. Leaving a Legacy: Lessons from the Writings of Daniel Drake is a selective collection of excerpts from the vast writings from the nineteenth-century doctor and medical pioneer Daniel Drake. From Drake’s life, documented here in his own words from excerpts of lectures, personal journal entries, presentations, speeches, books, and letters to his children, readers learn about the scope of his accomplishments in medicine, contributions to his community, and dedication to his family. Diller goes beyond biography to contextualize Drake’s life choices and what made him a role model for today’s physicians. Diller selected one hundred and eighty thematically arranged excerpts, which he paired with original reflection questions to guide the reader through thought-provoking prompts. In doing so, Diller presents the lessons from Drake’s remarkable life and work as a guide for others who wish to build an enduring legacy.Designed to appeal to early and mid-career professionals, particularly those in the medical field, Drake and Diller offer readers a way to enhance life with small actions that can leave a legacy in any community—professional or personal. Documented previously as a man whose life was remarkable for the breadth and depth of his professional accomplishments, Drake’s countless contributions are showcased here to demonstrate the impact he truly had in his time and for generations to come. Engaging with Drake and Diller’s thoughtful and principled voices provides a lasting perspective for those trying to find their purpose in the present.

It certainly is very useful as such a guide. The book is structured in a very clear and easy to use way. The left of each double page contains the text, while on the right color plates illustrate the topic.

The color plates are generally excellent and in many cases do not only serve as illustrative material, but summarize complex issues in a simple and didactically useful way. The book certainly achieves the goal to provide basic facts relevant in the field. The crucial advantage lies in this selectivity of topics and in an excellent didactic presentation of the material.

Textbook of Otorhinolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery: A Competency-Based Approach for Undergraduates discusses these contextual changes, covering the new curriculum in stimulating and easily accessible ways. The book features 80 chapters by more than 56 authors from over 31 medical colleges and universities discussing questions and realities from classrooms and clinics. This has been done through lucid language supplemented by diagrams and clinical pictures developed to deepen the understanding. There are accompanying videos, explaining key techniques to give readers a feel for ear, nose, and throat (ENT) procedures. Case-based questions, drawn from collective clinical expertise, confront students with real-world scenarios and the challenges of clinical practice. A section on “Clinical Pearls”—interesting clinical facts—has also been drafted to broaden the perspective and prompt further thinking. This book is an essential reading for undergraduate students looking for clear, basic concepts. Clinicians will also find this book beneficial in brushing up on present-day thinking on the subject.
