Better off? 4 out of 5 stars.

An inevitable must for all new residents coming into the world of anaesthesia and medical technology.
Each new edition of the book gets more and more modern equipment oriented - losing out on the simplistic educational value of the older equipment. The gradual loss of the Non-rebreathing valves, from the second edition followed by Goldman vaporizer, EMO, OMV etc has reduced the level of 'ease of understanding' for fresh residents. Indeed, the focus on high tech is a drawback for practice of field/military/third world anaesthesia. There is something to be learnt from the old Ward, Ehrenwerth or even the Farman for youngsters.
Other than this, an excellent & comprehensive textbook. Could have done with a little more detail on advanced newer technologies being introduced.
Dr SK Singh, Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiologist, India

Good information. 4 out of 5 stars.

When I received this book in the mail, I wondered why such a thin book was so expensive. It took several re-readings before I got the main point of the book, which was actually so simple that it was no wonder I missed it the first time. Except for the isometric exercise, most of the other exercises outlined in the book are just too difficult for me, and I don't think I am in such bad shape for my age (45 yr. old female). I also think it would have been a lot better if each exercise had it's own picture or picture series, because it was a bit cumbersome to READ all the explanations of how to do everything. Lots of good information on what works, why, and what doesn't and why. I think this author knows what she is talking about, and I am sure that if I met her in person I would like her because she is so sensible in her approach, but a good book editor could have helped to put it all together in a more readable fashion. This book is worth the read and the effort to extract the important message this author is promoting.

Editorial Review:

Everyone forgets things sometimes. But do you ever feel like you can't keep track of simple things like acquaintances' names, your car keys, and the two things you needed to pick up on the way home? As America's population ages, more and more people are struggling with the fact that their memory and mental power are not that they used to be. Maybe you've tried "exercising" your mind, or maybe you've just started keeping better "to do" lists. But a proven way to improve your mind, memory and mood is to feed your brain the nutrients it needs to function at its peak performance level. Over the past few years, scientists have discovered dozens of new supplements that enhance and sharpen memory, intelligence, vision, and mental performance.

In Mind Boosters, one of the world's most respected nutritional experts examines the very latest research on these breakthrough brain nutrients, amino acids, herbs, and hormones. Along with a scientific and practical evaluation of their benefits and risks, Dr. Sahelian explains how to combine mind-boosting supplements to help patients with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression as well as those with normal age-related mental decline. People of all ages can benefit from the sensible, step-by-step programs tailored to the differing needs of the young, the middle aged and the elderly.

A top pick for libraries seeking a comprehensive yet easy reference. 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 10 people found this review helpful.

Sciatica Solutions: Diagnosis, Treatment and Cure of Spinal and Piriformis Problems may sound technical but it's medical knowledge is most accessible to lay readers, making it a top pick for public libraries because of its ease of reference and because back problems are one of the most common medical conditions affecting the general population. Chapters cover symptoms, the neurology involved in the range of complaints sciatica shows, and identify seven primary causes, differentiating it from its related piriformis problems and surveying the treatment for both. Dr. Fishman holds some thirty years of clinical experience including alternative medicine, so his SCIATICA SOLUTIONS embraces the best of both worlds, making it a top pick for libraries seeking a comprehensive yet easy reference.

A Very Informative Book About Mental Illness and Drugs To Treat It 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 8 people found this review helpful.

This book is very informative when it comes to describing mental illness' and the drugs they use to treat them. There are chapters devoted to depression ( and all forms of it), anxiety ( all forms of it), schizophrenia,and manic depression. The 4 most common mental illnesses known. There is one chapter dedicated to sleeping pills. It describes in great detail the symptoms of each illness and gives examples of good treatment and bad treatment regarding patients who complain of symptoms. The most interesting area of the book are the drugs used to treat mental illness. Each drug is explained in detail as to what it is prescribed for, the dosage necessary, side effects, what tests to take if needed during thr drug trial use, and when not to use it. There is also a chapter devoted to drugs that are used to conteract side effects of anti-pyschotic medication. It also talks about how to know if you actually need medication foran illness and provides easy to read charts. I would highly recommend this book it will most definately provide you with valuable information that your doctor may have forgotten to mention or go into detail with you. The book is a little outdated but the only new drugs that are not included are Celexa, Lexapro, Cymbalta, and other newer anti-psychotics and mood stabilers.

Editorial Review:

Now a standard, this reference appears in its third edition, updated with the latest information on new psychiatric drugs, including antidepressants, new drug treatments for schizophrenia, and the latest treatments for anxiety and eating disorders.

Would highly recommend this text to anyone who is interested in neurological or psychiatric disorders. Very good illustrations and explanations.

Editorial Review:

Relying upon the best-selling third edition of Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology, Dr. Stephen M. Stahl has revised chapters covering antipsychotics and mood stabilizers for this third edition of Antipsychotics and Mood Stabilizers. More than one-third longer than the previous edition, Antipsychotics and Mood Stabilizers is essential reading for professionals treating psychosis and students learning the mechanisms of drug reactions. This updated edition includes advances in neurobiology and recent clinical developments to explain the concepts underlying drug treatment of psychiatric disorders. The fully revised text is complemented by many new illustrations and enhanced to reflect new knowledge and topics not covered in the previous edition. Intended as a primer text covering all aspects of treatment for psychosis and related conditions, this concise volume can nevertheless be read cover to cover by experts and novices alike.
