Review
“Nosocomial Pneumonia achieves its stated goal of seeking to present current knowledge on the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of nosocomial pneumonia. Clinicians interested in this topic will find the text a useful and worthwhile compilation.” (Journal of the American Medical Association, December 3, 2008)

“The main purpose of this book is to give physicians who care for patients at risk for nosocomial pneumonia a concise and up-to-date reference and management guide, and I would say the book succeeds in that task. It is a concise, well-referenced overview…. This is a useful text that compiles a substantial body of information … in a convenient source. The major strengths of the book are the authoritative international list of contributors and the clear focus.” (Respiratory Care, November 2008)

“The book is well-organized, well-written, easy to read and understand and timely in its subject matter.” (ADVANCE for Respiratory Care Practitioners)

“This is a good overview of an important subject.” (Doody’s Book Reviews)

Product Description
This multi-contributed text, co-ordinated by one of the leading authorities in the field, is a unique resource to cover in depth the management of the important issue of Nosocomial Pneumonia in respiratory medicine and critical care. This disease presents the clinician with a variety of challenges, in both diagnosis and management, all of which represent a significant concern for the welfare of patients whose ability to combat infection is frequently already compromised.

Nosocomial Pneumonia: Strategies for Management is dedicated specifically to this most common hospital acquired respiratory infection and reviews important new advances in therapeutics, including drug resistance. It is an essential resource for all postgraduates and specialist physicians in pulmonology and infectious diseases.

Review
“More than any other text in liver diseases, this one provides the best source of synthesized clinical wisdom, a currency in ever increasingly short supply as our fund of factual knowledge burgeons. Indeed, if one demanded that an author confine the breadth of our knowledge in liver disease into a readable clinical textbook of less than 700 pages, he or she could do no better than to direct that individual to Sherlock and Dooley’s Diseases of the Liver and Biliary System”. -Gastroenterology (the highest impact journal in the field) on the 10th edition.

“Sherlock and Dooley’s Diseases of the Liver and Biliary System, the only text written by the two authors, remains an outstanding clinical liver guide for the generalist and specialist alike”. -JAMA on the 10th edition.

Product Description
Diseases of the Liver and Biliary System continues to be one of the pre-eminent textbooks of choice for trainee as well as practicing gastroenterologists.

This new edition will contain updated sections on viral hepatitis, in which each type of virus has its own chapter. Since this is the fastest moving area within hepatology at the moment, the clearer demarcation of each virus will be much appreciated by the reader.

There will also be updated sections on cholestasis, fulminant hepatitis and ascites. There will be expanded coverage of immunology of the liver and the role of cytokines in disease and therapy.

The best hepatology book when it comes to integrating basic science and clinical wisdom

Every chapter has been updated with the most recent advances in the study and control of hepatitis Previous ISBN 0865429065

It is not an exhaustive review, instead serving as a compact high yield resource that summarizes key concepts and provides a framework for further comprehensive study.
