Pediatric Cardiology for Practitioners Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a resident in pediatrics, you face the usual time constraints, yet you want to prepare yourselfs for electives by reading a comprehensible text. For Cardiology, I have found with Park's "Pediatric Cardiology for the Practioner" an outstanding text, which I actually prefer over more recent review articles for its easy to understand approach. The text is easy to read and is supported by the style of the figures and schemes. This book provides more than an introductory text for the pediatric resident with a general focus, it also provides a valuable and readily accessible resource for cardiology fellows.

Clinical Cardiac CT: Anatomy and Function Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Good book for Cardiac CT for beginners and also as a reference textbook
for any department doing cardiac CT. Easily readable and good CT images throughout. Initial chapter on how to do cardiac CT gives a good review of indications/techniques/drugs and protocols to be used. Chapter on CT coronary anatomy and anomalies is good. Rest of the chapters on coronary arterial disease, stents etc. are thorough and readable. CD provided gives decent images but the CD can't be used as an interactive cardiac CT tutor for case studies.
Makes one understand the basics and the pathology concerned and makes one more confident to start off with Cardiac CT. Definitely worth the price.

Medical Neurobiology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With a lot of enthusiasm I read the new Medical Neurobiology book and I really liked it. The book is clear, inquisitive and attractive by the way that presents the subjects. The shaded color boxes bring relevant clinical conditions, syndromes, common phenomenon that either we face them every day, or the doctors will meet them in the future. Phenomenon's that we really do not pay attention to mechanisms underline them. The Boxes enriches the text a lot. The sketches are clear and simple. The author took a new and different approach to teach first year medical student Neuroanatomy. Instead of describing pathways and regions in the nervous system the book uses a different approach by asking question and proposed explanations for neurological phenomenon. The new unique approach justifies the chosen title, Medical Neurobiology, which catalogued this book on a different niche from the traditional Neuroanatomy books. Soft cover as a textbook is preferred.Barr's The Human Nervous System: An Anatomical Viewpoint, Ninth Edition
