Amazing reviews of infectious diseases.......2007-05-12

This book is the mother of books about infectious diseases all around the world! This is an obligatory book that has to be on your library. Has excellent reviews of the majority of illnesses with great quality images. Even this version of the book includes a CD with images info to make your own presentations. Currently, I think is the best book about Infectious diseases.

Infectious Disease Bible.......2007-04-04

I am a hospital pharmacist. An infectious disease pharmacist showed me how much you could find in the previous edition of this book when I was doing a residency. Because many of the patients get admitted to the hospital due to some type of infection, this book has been invaluable in helping me understand details of any disease state. It has helped me understand antibiotic drug therapies and the reasons behind them more than any other written resource. And most importantly, it is a known and respected reference to the hospitalists that I can refer to modifying drug therapies or answering drug information questions related to infectious diseases.

It may seem expensive, but it has laid down multiple blueprints for looking at the complicated field of infectious diseases. I encourage anyone who is going into the field of pharmacy to make sure they can at least access these books.

I was ripped off.......2006-12-29

I ordered an online e editon 2 volumes and CD
I didnt not get the online pin number. I wrote to amazon and Still I havent heard from them
It is a total cheating

The Last Word in Infectious Diseases.......2006-12-03

This book is a must have for everyone that studies ID .The chapters are made to be read by themselves, they include the latest in the subject matter and the themes are reviewed in depth.Overall the best book around on the subject.

The book you need.......2003-03-16

As an infectious disease fellow, I recommend that anyone who want be an ID man should have such a book. Most infectious problems and diseases have been detailed in this book, although there are far going of emerging diseases and new antibiotics.
The only shortcomes of this book are lackiing comprehensive details and reveiw of antimicrobial therapy for some disease entities.

Customer Reviews:

PNF in Practice.......2000-03-27

This is a very good textbook. I am currently a Doctor of Physical Therapy student and this was a recommended book by my professor to help us learn PNF techniques. There are excellent descriptions and great diagrams. The only thing that would have made this a better book is if the diagrams were in color. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the benefits and techniques of PNF as well as most health care proffessionals. Being a student, this was also a very easy book to comprehend due to the great descriptions.

Book Description

Members of the Rho family of small GTP-binding proteins (GTPases) are key signal transduction proteins that mediate signals initiated by growth factors, cytokines and cell adhesion proteins. Our knowledge about Rho GTPases has rapidly expanded over the past several years and Rho GTPases is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of the regulation and functions of this important class of proteins.
This book includes several chapters dedicated to the review of various classes of proteins that control the localization and activation state of Rho GTPases. Additional chapters discuss the wide range of biological functions that are controlled by Rho GTPases, including the organization of the actin cytoskeleton, cell proliferation and cell motility.
Rho GTPases is essential reading for cell and molecular biologists, biochemists and geneticists. The critical roles of Rho family members in cancer and inflammatory diseases makes Rho GTPases also an invaluable guide for clinical investigators and pharmacologists.

Concise book for reading.......2003-04-15

This handbook is easy to approach. It provides general information about infectious diseases, although not comprehensive in detail. For medical students and those who are not specialists of infectious diseases, this book is the one that you can buy and read.

Useful information readily available.......2000-05-05

A Practical Approach to Infectious Diseases offers the medical resident and ID fellow a thorough yet accessible and practical resource for dealing with commonly encountered ID problems. The section of STD's is particularly informative as are the sections on Bone and Joint Infections and UTI's.

The major texts for ID are often cumbersome to find the exact information needed. This text however is easily referenced with discrete chapters and excellent references at the end of each chapter if a more comprehensive review is desired.
