A Manual of Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests 9th Edition

  by RN Fischbach, Frances Talaska (Author), Ph.D. Dunning, Marshall Barnett, III (Author)

The purpose of A Manual of Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests, in this ninth edition, is to promote the delivery of safe, effective, and informed care for patients undergoing diagnostic tests and procedures and also to provide clinicians and students, educators and researchers, and others with a unique resource. This comprehensive manual provides a foundation for understanding diagnostic tests, from the relatively simple to the most complex, that are delivered to varied populations in varied settings. It describes in depth the clinician’s role in providing effective diagnostic services by providing the information necessary for quality care planning, individualized patient assessment, analysis of patient needs, appropriate interventions, patient education, patient follow-up, and timely outcome evaluation. Potential risks and complications of diagnostic testing mandate that proper test protocols, interfering factors, follow-up testing, and collaboration among those involved in the testing process be a significant part of the information included in this text.

Parenteral Medications 4th Edition

 by Sandeep Nema (Editor), John D. Ludwig (Editor)

  Parenteral Medications is a definitive reference utilized by academic institutions, government agencies, and the pharmaceutical industry. The first edition was published in 1984, and the second and third editions followed in 1991 and 2010, respectively.

  Over the last decade, there has been a rapid, transformational change in the rate of innovation across pharmaceutical drug discovery and manufacturing sciences. History may well regard this period as a golden era of science. New technologies have allowed medicinal chemists to design highly optimized small-molecule therapeutics not possible at the turn of the century. Complex new biotherapeutic modalities have flourished bringing the promise of enhanced drug safety and efficacy to millions of patients.

3D Echocardiography 2nd Edition

by Takahiro Shiota (Editor) 

The first edition of 3D Echocardiography, one of the first books on the topic, was published in 2007. At that time, the book received a mixed review from Circulation, one of the most prestigious cardiology journals (Circulation 2008; 117: e156). Their primary critique was the lack of convincing 3D images and examples of clinical use, suggesting the next version be improved with better quality 3D images and an emphasis on clinical value.

Since the publication of the first edition, 3D echocardiography technology has improved dramatically and vastly increasing numbers of published papers have enhanced our knowledge of this imaging modality. Clinical use of 3D echocardiography has grown and acceptance of this technology for the care of patients has truly come to pass. We aim that this new edition will answer and meet all the helpful criticisms of the original review with substantial new convincing content. This edition contains truly impressive cardiac images and evidence of clinical use, mainly thanks to the development of live or realtime 3D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
