Strauss ISBN 9781119012993 Form Hardback Pub date 2016-05-13 Edition 1 Price GBP 175.00 Pages 760 Publisher John Wiley and Sons (JL) Distributor Wiley EDC Language Eng Discipline Medical Science Category Medicine Subject Clinical & internal medicine Link http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1119012996.html Transfusion medicine as a multidisciplinary clinical specialty allied to blood banking continues to be a dynamic and increasingly complex evolution. Patients who require blood transfusions generally fall into two categories: those requiring transfusions resulting from acute blood loss that might be associated with surgery or accident; or those requiring chronic transfusions associated with treatment for chronic anaemias, chemotherapy, or bone marrow transplant. As such transfusion medicine impacts all areas of critical care medicine, and multiple areas of chronic care. Rossi′s Principles of Transfusion Medicine is the most comprehensive and practical reference on transfusion science and medicine available. Now updated for a fifth edition with new material on donor care including the frequency of donation and management of iron deficiency/status, patient blood management, hemovigilance, and the novel cellular therapies and stem cell transplantation. This is a key resource for specialists and trainees in transfusion medicine and blood banking, as well as physicians, nurses, and medical technologists active in the transfusion of patients. This edition; Compiled by a world class Editor team including two past– presidents of AABB, a past– President of the American Board of Pathology and members of the FDA Blood Products Advisory Committee, and international contributor team Covers current hot topics such as donor care including the frequency of donation and management of iron deficiency/status), patient blood management, hemovigilance, and the organization of transfusion and transplant services Presents new material on molecular immunohematology Companion website includes figures, full text and references Update your practice with this comprehensive reference resource, considered the gold standard in transfusion medicine. 6 Title An Introduction to Pain and its relation to Nervous System Disorders Author Anna A. Battaglia ISBN 9781118455913 Form Hardback Pub date 2016-05-06 Edition 1 Price GBP 115.00 Pages 440 Publisher John Wiley and Sons (JL) Distributor Wiley EDC Language Eng Discipline Social Science Category Psychology Subject Clinical & internal medicine Link http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1118455916.html Introduction to Pain and its relation to Nervous System Disorders provides an accessible overview of the latest developments in the science underpinning pain research, including, but not limited to, the physiological, pathological and psychological aspects. This unique book fills a gap in current literature by focussing on the intricate relationship between pain and human nervous system disorders such as Autism, Alzheimer Disease, Parkinson s Disease, Depression and Multiple Sclerosis. This fully illustrated, colour handbook will help non–experts, including advanced undergraduate and new postgraduate students, become familiar with the current, wide–ranging areas of research that cover every aspect of the field from chronic and inflammatory pain to neuropathic pain and biopsychosocial models of pain, functional imaging and genetics. Contributions from leading experts in neuroscience and psychiatry provide both factual information and critical points of view on their approach and the theoretical framework behind their choices. An appreciation of the strengths and weaknesses of brain imaging technology applied to pain research in humans provides the tools required to understand current cutting edge literature on the topic. Chapters covering placebo effects in analgesia and the psychology of pain give a thorough overview of cognitive, psychological and social influences on pain perception. Sections exploring pain in the lifecycle and in relation to nervous system disorders take particular relevance from a clinical point of view. Furthermore, an intellectually stimulating chapter analysing the co–morbidity of pain and depression provides a philosophical angle rarely presented in related handbooks. The references to external research databases and relevant websites aim to prompt readers to become critical and independent thinkers, and motivate them to carry out further reading on these topics.

Featuring contributions from noted scholars in medical anthropology, environmental and public health studies, and related fields in the social sciences, this timely volume gets to the root of such broad concerns as to the reasons why humans degrade their environments, the resulting threats to health, societal distribution of environmental health problems, efforts of communities to limit these problems, and the very future of global human health. An initial series of readings offer critical perspectives on the latest theoretical and methodological advancements in the field of environmental health and illness. Chapters then proceed to cover a variety of topics related to the core themes of eco–biosocial interactions and health, political ecology and health, adverse feedback loops in environmental health, the growing number of multiple ( pluralea) adverse environmental interactions, and ecosyndemics – the environmental conditions that promote deleterious interactions among diseases. Reflecting the most recent international ethnographic research, A Companion to the Anthropology of Environmental Health is an essential resource to issues related to the increasing importance of the complex interactions between human health and the environment in the 21st– century. 4 Title Manual of Commercial Methods in Clinical Microbiology Author A.
