Perversely, the exponentially increasing information about the now treatable bone disease has tended to overwhelm practitioners and make them less rather than more informed about the latest findings. Here British specialists synthesize the current understanding in various aspects of osteoporosis. Distributed in the US by BookMasters. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

The application of brain imaging to the study of psychiatric disorders has revolutionised research into the biological basis of schizophrenia. This book provides an overview of the major techniques used in psychiatric neuroimaging, together with a summary of findings from their applications to schizophrenia research. It introduces the major structural and functional imaging modalities used in psychiatry, how these techniques are being used to study schizophrenia and the impact of neuroimaging on clinical practice. Brain Imaging in Schizophrenia is suitable for a large audience from practising psychiatrists and clinical psychologists to general practitioners, junior doctors and students of medicine, psychology and neuroscience.

Genetics for Endocrinologists is a convenient reference guide to help clinicians apply the wealth of new genetic information to practical aspects of diagnosis and genetic counseling for endocrine patients and their families. Concise summaries of more than 100 endocrine disorders and syndromes emphasize new developments in understanding the genetic basis and mechanism of these conditions. Each entry includes references to review articles and other recent citations from the medical literature. Diagrams of metabolic pathways and disease mechanisms provide helpful summaries, while the glossary is a 'user-friendly' introduction to the language of modern genetics. Genetics for Endocrinologists will be a welcome companion in medical offices, clinics, and on teaching rounds.

Neuroimaging techniques are crucial in the management of stroke patients. This book is an important resource in the quest to better understand stroke and its heterogeneity. After a first chapter on the classification of stroke, it outlines that neuroimaging techniques are not only useful to diagnose stroke, its mechanisms, and its causes, but are also an important tool to improve our knowledge on the pathophysiology of stroke and of its recovery. This book has involved prestigious contributors who have a great knowledge on this topic, and are skilled at describing the current state of knowledge, and also at projecting developments that are likely to occur in the future. This book is useful for all those who have to manage stroke patients at the acute stage, or later, and for those who are in search of a focused, authoritative review on this subject. It will assume a prominent place as a reference.

Imaging in Stroke

There are very few radiology multiple choice question books on the market that reflect the current trends and developments in the field of imaging. Hence, the emphasis of this book is on cross-sectional CT and MR imaging. It highlights the current understanding and concepts in the state-of-the-art imaging of a wide range of diseases in the body. 
The multiple choice questions are organised according to body systems and imaging modalities. There are 12 sections in the book, testing the reader in a broad range of imaging knowledge. The questions are accompanied by expanded answers, which provide the reader with a summary of the key facts relating to a particular topic. This is especially useful in assisting the reader in consolidating his or her understanding of the subject. 
The questions are devised in a format similar to those encountered in the examination of the Royal College of Radiologists (UK) and the examination of the Joint Australian and New Zealand College of Radiology. Candidates taking the American Radiology Board examinations will also find the book informative.

General Surgical Emergencies: An On-the-Spot Guide

Hill, James

Although books on Accident and Emergency radiology exist, there are no learning resources for those new to reporting or reviewing emergency X-rays. The Emergency Radiology Casebook has a quiz format covering 150 cases, enabling the reader to test themselves on common as well as rare and easy-to-miss fractures. Particularly difficult areas such as the cervical spine are covered in depth. In addition, some normal films are included to mimic the reality of emergency film reporting. Each X-ray is clearly shown with concise practical answers that can be applied in every day situations. The book is designed to be dipped-into by radiology and orthopaedic trainees, radiographers reporting X-ray films, and casualty officers and nurses.

Intravascular brachytherapy is a specialty that demands an integrated approach from diverse disciplines. >Intravascular Brachytherapy: From Theory to Practice' sets out to ensure that all team members are speaking the same language; radiation oncologists are introduced to interventional cardiology and cardiologists are introduced to the terminology and implementation of radiation therapy. This book provides a comprehensive practical guide introducing the technique of intravascular brachytherapy and details the steps necessary to initiate an intravascular brachytherapy program in a hospital environment.

Intravascular Brachytherapy: From Theory to Practice

Tripuraneni, Prabhakar, Ed.

The study of disease genetics arguably began in rheumatology, with the description of the hereditary basis of alkaptonuria by Garrod in 1902, and the introduction of the concept of inborn errors of metabolism. A large proportion of the diseases seen by rheumatologists have genetic influences. Some diseases are monogenic, but many are without Mendelian patterns of inheritance but nonetheless have strong hereditary influences. The dissection of the genetic basis of rheumatic diseases has moved rapidly over the past 15 years, increasing our understanding of the causation of disease, and in many cases improving diagnostic tests and the ability to advise patients about their risk of disease. Increasingly rheumatologists are being asked the question "How likely is it that my children will develop the disease I have?", and about the utility of genetic testing for those diseases. This book aims not to be a hefty tome full of genetics jargon, but a quick reference source for doctors written to help answer those questions.
