Teaching Atlas of Interventional Radiology: Non-vascular Interventional Procedures (Teaching Atlas) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Together with the book by Karim Valji (Vascular and interventional radiology, ISBN 0721670032) this book forms a formidable addition to any prospective interventionalist's library. The book essentially forms two parts. An introduction describing in a review format some common fields of interventional radiology such as lower extremity arterial disease, but also enlightens the user on the highly busy part of interventional radiology - that related to dialysis vascular access and its importance for the dialysist and (no lesse important) for the patient with a dialysis access.The second part of the book describes case stories with appropriate images and narrative content. A few areas seem a little different from modern approach with almost no vascular CT or even mention of multi-detector vascular CT, an important emergent technique. Also - albeit this may be from my lack of familiarity with American settings - a curious case of a patient with a brain abscess is related and the sequelae of that is never really mentioned.In general the book is informative, well written, clear and with a lot of interesting and highly educational examples.

Nurse's Manual of Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like the title says, it gets the job done, but only if you have the time to sit down and dig through it.Not for on the fly interpretation of results.I used it for my care plans and even then it was hard to deal with.I encountered trouble deciphering the casues/effects of many tests and ended up borrowing another book which I found more helpful.

Vascular & Interventional Radiography: A Comprehensive Text & Examination Review Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book provided an adaquate overview of interventional radiology equipment and procedures. However, the book was chalk full of spelling, grammar, and punctuational errors. In some places the editing was so poor that I had to reread information 2 or 3 times to figure out what the author was trying to communicate. It does not offer explanations for all the answers in the review section. For me, the answers I disagreed with most were answers that had no explanation given. Also, some information in this book directly conflicted with information given in another section of the same book. Most of the drawings lacked detail. Having already sat for my ARRT (VI) exam, on the job experience was far greater a reference to draw from than was this book. I regret paying the steep price tag. Wait for Appleton & Lange to put out an ARRT (VI) review book.

Pocket Guide to Musculoskeletal Diagnosis (Musculoskeletal Medicine) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book helped me focus my musculoskeletal exam and make it more effecient.It's a first rate book that ortho docs and GPs alike would benefit from using.GPs and ortho/pm&r/neuro residents may particuarly like the diagnostic work up and treatment sections, which most exam books don't have.I was turned onto this book by a colleague and I'm very grateful that I was.Not many people seem to be using it yet, and I hadn't heard of it, but it's a good find.Other books for musculoskeletal exam that are worth getting are Magee's Orthopedic Physical Assessment (which is a larger book written by a PT that could be used as a reference for various physical exam maneuvers) and, of course, Hoppenfeld's Physical Exam book.Hoppenfeld still sets the standard when it comes to anatomy and biomechanical review, which he weaves nicely into his physical exam.
