This book is the fourth edition of a highly regarded text which was first published in 1988. It introduces the reader to the interpretation of routine laboratory biochemical test results and covers all aspects of interpretative chemical pathology (including reproductive endocrinology, which was not covered previously). The approach is based on case material from the authors' laboratory and employs algorithms and similar aids for interpretation. The material is structured so that it is comprehensible to beginners as well as being useful for the more experienced practitioners. The envisaged audience is medical undergraduates, general practitioners, clinical biochemists and laboratory technicians.
This is a pocket book to assist in the interpretation of routine biochemical results. It contains comprehensive tests of causes of abnormalities and associated algorithms, that is, an aide-memoire plus flow charts to assist in diagnosis. The material is based on the author's vast experience in teaching hospitals and in providing services to general practitioners.This book, which covers all routine bichemical tests, is aimed at medical students, house officers and general practitioners.
The most massive stars in the galaxy - those with more than 15 to 20 solar masses - are lilkely to ionize their surroundings before they reach their final mass. How can they accrete in spite of the presence of over-pressurized gas? This thesis presents results of Submillimeter Array (SMA) and Very Large Array (VLA) studies of massive star formation regions in the early stages of ionization, as well as an analysis of numerical simulations of the evolution of these young HII regions. The results favor a picture in which very massive stars form in accretion flows that are partially ionized and that keep accreting material from their environment.
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
The first edition of this book was published in 1983. This third edition has been thoroughly updated to account for the new knowledge gained since then, particularly in understanding the pathophysiology of many disease processes. The popular feature of using many illustrated examples from actual case notes has been retained. The essential aspects of paediatric chemical pathology, inborn errors of metabolism, reproductive endocrinology, tumours and toxicology are now also covered, to make this book truly comprehensive. A decade or so ago, chemical pathology was infrequently taught formally in medical courses, but it is now well established in the medical curriculum. In keeping with these developments the authors have produced a comprehensive textbook of diagnostic clinical chemistry to meet the needs of medical students in their clinical years, and postgraduates studying for the professional examinations of colleges of pathologists and clinical chemistry associations.
This book provides an integrated approach to the management of acid-base disorders covering the biochemical, physiological, analytical and clinical aspects. The clearly written, concise text gives a comprehensive coverage of the subject, supported by a wealth of information including underlying basic scientific principles, and appropriate medical diagnoses and treatment. The authors have used a practical clinical approach to the problems throughout, emphasising points of relevance and interest with illustrative case examples. The book should appeal to clinicians, emergency room staff, biochemists, laboratory technologists, medical and science students.
