Greenspan's Basic and Clinical Endocrinology 8th ed - D. Gardner, D. Shoback (McGraw-Hill, 2007)

The title page of Basic & Clinical Endocrinology takes on a slightly different character in this, its 8th edition. In tribute to the outgoing coeditor and originator of this text, it will henceforth be referred to as Greenspan's Basic & Clinical Endocrinology. Like its predecessors, the 8th edition provides the most up-to-date information on the basic science and clinical aspects of endocrinology, covering everything from the molecular biology of thyroid hormone signal transduction to the clinical approach to the patient with Cushing's syndrome.

There are several new features in this edition that warrant attention. We have introduced completely new chapters on Evidence-Based Endocrinology (Chapter 4) and the Neurohypophysis (Chapter 6). Chapter 19 has been expanded to include discussion of the major causes of hypoglycemia in the pediatric population, and Chapter 8 has been extensively rewritten following the addition of Dr. Cooper and Dr. Ladenson to the growing list of authors contributing to this text. Each of the remaining chapters has been extensively revised and updated for inclusion in this edition. Reference lists, wherever possible, include web-based educational resources for physicians as well as their patients.

We hope that you will find this text useful as an up-to-date resource for information in the ever-expanding discipline of endocrinology, and as a valuable tool for the education of your trainees and the care of your endocrine patients.

Gray's Anatomy for Students

What is anatomy?

Anatomy includes those structures that can be seen grossly (without the aid of magnification) and microscopically (with the aid of magnification). Typically, when used by itself, the term 'anatomy' tends to mean gross or macroscopic anatomy-that is, the study of structures that can be seen without using a microscopic. Microscopic anatomy, also called 'histology', is the study of cells and tissues using a microscope.

Anatomy forms the basis for the practice of medicine. Anatomy leads the physician towards an understanding of a patient's disease whether he or she is carrying out a physical examination or using the most advanced imaging techniques. Anatomy is also important for dentists, chiropractors, physical therapists, and all others involved in any aspect of patient treatment that begins with an analysis of clinical signs. The ability to interpret a clinical observation correctly is therefore the endpoint of a sound anatomical understanding.

Observation and visualization are the primary techniques a student should use to learn anatomy. Anatomy is much more than just memorization of lists of names. Although the language of anatomy is important, the network of information needed to visualize the position of physical structures in a patient goes far beyond simple memorization. Knowing the names of the various branches of the external carotid artery is not the same as being able to visualize the course of the lingual artery from its origin in the neck to its termination in the tongue. Similarly, understanding the organization of the soft palate, how it is related to the oral and nasal cavities, and how it moves during swallowing is very different from being able to recite the names of its individual muscles and nerves. An understanding of anatomy requires an understanding of the context in which the terminology can be remembered.

Goodman & Gilman's - The pharmacological basis of therapeutics 11th Ed

In this book, all of the chapters have been updated and many have been completely rewritten by expert contributors and editors. There are a number of new contributors, carefully chosen for their expertise, their scholarship and the clarity of their writing. This book emphasizes basic principles, adding chapters on drug transporters and drug metabolism. The material covered in these chapters explains many prominent drug-drug interactions and adverse drug responses. The book also includes a chapter on the emerging field of pharmacogenetics, looking toward the individualization of drug therapy and an understanding of how our genetic make-up influences our responses to drugs. A chapter entitled "The Science of Drug Therapy" describes how basic principles of pharmacology apply to the care of the individual patient.

Field Guide to Bedside Diagnosis 2nd ed

Preface to the Second Edition

In preparing the second edition, I have been mindful of the increasing interest in evidence-based medicine. The major update, therefore, has been to add tables of evidence-based test characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio) for selected items in the history and physical examination. This book contains the most comprehensive compilation of EBM physical diagnosis data available to date. I have utilized state-of-the-art data sources such as the JAMA Rational Clinical Examination series; Straus, Hsu, Ball, and Phillips' Evidence-Based Acute Medicine; and McGee's Evidence-Based Physical Diagnosis, in addition to my own extensive literature files. Diagnostic hypotheses arising from these observations form the basis for accurate application and interpretation of diagnostic technology. Testing and treatment—as well as citations of literature sources—remain beyond the scope of this book.

While I have retained the user-friendly format of the first edition, a second area of substantial enhancement and revision has been the diagnostic approach section of most chapters, to strengthen the high-altitude view of how to begin to approach the differential. Finally, the diagnostic images section has been completely revised. Images have been selected to best illustrate clinical phenomenon, and to favor visible manifestations of systemic diseases and more serious diagnoses over self-limited dermatologic conditions. Of the 192 images in this book, 84 are new to this edition. They have been arranged by organ system and by diagnoses to parallel the text and to make locating images more intuitive.

The aim of this book remains to be compact, colorful, aesthetic, and useful.
