The vast number of patients with cardiovascular disease coupled with ongoing clinical advances makes the Oxford American Handbook of Cardiology a must-buy for residents, fellows, and students, as well as an excellent reference guide for general practitioners. The reader will find here all the essential practice guidelines and management strategies as well as a unique chapter on preventive cardiology and a useful summary of recent major clinical trials in cardiology.
Accurate diagnosis and effective long term therapy or control of alimentary disease in the dog and cat are difficult goals to achieve, due to a lack of comprehensive information on the specific conditions affecting the alimentary tract together with a lack of suitably practical methods of investigation.

The aim of this book is to encourage veterinarians, at whatever stage of their career or training, to take a deeper, more perceptive interest in renal disease. It seeks to provide an introduction to the aspects of greatest fundamental and clinical interest and to give access to more detailed reviews in the literature. It also aims to draw the attention of human nephrologists to the experimental' animals which live in nearly every household and the wealth of insights which they offer through the similarities and differences of their encounters with renal disease.
Fictions of Disease in Early Modern England - Bodies, Plagues and Politics
How did early modern people imagine their bodies? What impact did the new disease syphilis and recurrent outbreaks of plague have on these mental landscapes? Why was the glutted belly such a potent symbol of pathology? Ranging from the Reformation through the English Civil War, this is a unique study of a cultural imaginary of "disease" and its political consequences. Healy's approach illuminates the period's disease-impregnated literature, including works by Shakespeare, Milton, Dekker, Heywood and others.
