The Anatomy and Clinics of Metastatic Cancer J.M. Debois 2002-01-01 768 pages

Only risk factors, treatment possibilities, and survival results are extensively examined.
The cardinal indicator of a satisfactory outcome for neonatal intensive care is normal neurological development, yet until very recently, clinical monitoring of brain function was limited to the physical examination.

This issue of the Radiologic Clinics of North America covers most of the major developments in breast imaging that have taken place in the three years since the last (sixth) breast imaging issue was published in September 2004. Some of the topics are similar but contain substantially updated material; new topics reflect other recent advances in knowledge or technology. The aim of each article is to provide clinically relevant summaries of the state of the art to radiologists both in training and in practice.
For the fist time in 25 years, the Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America features an issue devoted entirely to the electrocardiogram (ECG) and its invaluable role to physicians on the front line. This inexpensive, easy to use tool yields a wealth of information to emergency medicine physicians. Traditional uses such as the diagnosis of dysrhythmia and acute coronary syndromes are expertly detailed, and nontraditional topics of ECG interpretation are also included such as detection of electrode misconnection and artifact. Don't miss this one!
