Managing Breast Cancer Risk
Managing Breast Cancer Risk is a single source for information needed by primary care physicians, nurses, gynecologists, as well as oncologic specialists who deal with women who are concerned about breast cancer. Its purpose is to bring together a multidisciplinary group of experts to address breast cancer risk in a clinically meaningful way. Chapters providing detailed information on individual risk factors are accompanied by a discussion of models, which integrate multiple factors for a more complete assessment of risk. Traditional strategies for risk management, including surveillance and prophylactic surgery, are reviewed, and the data on newer techniques such as ductal lavage and screening with magnetic resonance is presented. The rational for chemoprevention with selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMS) is discussed, and the evidence for tamoxifen as a chemopreventative is updated. The potential for chemoprevention with newer SERMS and the aromatase inhibitors is reviewed. Finally, the critical (and often ignored) areas of quality of life and symptom management are addressed.
Pediatric Otolaryngology
A core book for anyone who wishes to learn how to diagnose and refer and how to manage for the long term in pediatric ENT. This book covers the critical topics of otitis media, chronic sinusitis, foreign bodies, and sleep-disordered breathing.
Clinically Relevant Electrocardiography
This book aims to offer readers of various educational levels and clinical foci the opportunity to learn electrocardiography from basic recognition of tracings and terminology to a deeper understanding of fine detail. Using researched case studies, sample electrocardiograms, and clinical vignettes, the book is an insightful learning resource for family practitioners, nurses, internists and cardiologists who use ECG to assess all matters of the heart—from palpitations to angina pectoris. The ability to read an electrocardiogram is a skill that is applied at every turn in the daily clinical management of illness. In the ED evaluation of chest pain, where time is of the essence, there is no tool that gives more objective information in so short a time than the ECG. This book will serve both as a study guide for students, and a handy clinical manual for practitioners.
Exotic Viral Diseases
The world is becoming smaller, and health care workers are increasingly confronted with heretofore "exotic" and "rare" diseases contracted in or otherwise introduced from distant countries. Exotic Viral Disease: A Global Guide is written for the clinician, and deals with the epidemiology, signs, symptoms, and treatment of all unusual viral infections of man. The authors are among the leading opinion makers in the field of Geographic Medicine, and have collected a wealth of important, practical, and up-to-date information, which would otherwise be unavailable in one source to physicians. A chapter has been added to include information about SARS.
Manual of Travel Medicine and Health
The third edition of this quick-reference manual is a companion to the Textbook of Travel Medicine by the same authors. The Manual of Travel Medicine and Health focuses on the diseases travellers face and how to provide them with information, such as immunizations, needed to reduce their risks during travel in endemic areas. Infectious health risks are covered in depth, from transmission and epidemiology through incubation and therapy. A new format allows for larger, updated maps and figures in colour. New chapters include Food Hygiene, Legal Issues (including the revised international health regulations), Maritime Health, and Natural Disasters. The Infectious Health Risks section includes many new topics including avian influenza, chickungunya, and various relevant parasitic diseases. New information is presented on travel medicine vaccines, antimalarial chemoprophylaxis and chemotherapy.
Otitis Media in Infants and Children
The new edition of this classic text provides a critical and contemporary review of the latest medical findings on otitis media and effusion. Each chapter has been substantially updated to include the latest studies of the anatomy and physiology of the Eustachian tube, current guidelines for clinical and microbiologic diagnosis and case management, up-to-date information about antibiotic resistance, the role of alternative medicine in treatment, and new data on viral and bacterial vaccines for prevention. The authors have included an extensive bibliography of citations for research published during the past five years in peer-reviewed literature along with cross-referenced citations for key chapters from other books by Drs. Bluestone published by BC Decker. Written for the otolaryngologist and pediatrician, this book combines clinical excellence with a passionate commitment to the well-being of infants and children. Focus is given to children who suffer impairment of speech, language and hearing after repeated episodes of otitis media.

A Parent's Guide to Ear Tubes
Ear tubes are inserted in more than 10,000 children every week in the United States. Written by an international authority on otitis media (middle ear problems), A Parent's Guide to Ear Tubes will help you decide if your child needs ear tubes and how to benefit most if ear tubes are placed. The book addresses, in a straightforward manner, the myriad of concerns that accompany ear problems. It is an easy read for parents offering practical information previously unavailable in one place. Most importantly, you will achieve peace of mind and a feeling of control over your child's ear problems. Need to know information is well-supported by accompanying colour illustrations. The aim of this guide is to: help your child feel great and sleep well; achieve peace of mind and a feeling of control over your child's ear problems; allow your child to progress as rapidly as possible with speech, language, and learning; reduce, or eliminate, the need for oral antibiotics by using antibiotic ear drops, when necessary; permit your child to bathe and swim without earplugs, headbands, or other water precautions; and keep the tubes functional and trouble-free for the longest time possible.
