Genetic epidemiology is a very rapidly developing field that has acquired a central role in modern biomedical science. Until now there has been no comprehensive introductory text for students and academics who do not have specialised training in statistics or genetics. This book begins with a primer in human molecular genetics and then examines standard methods in population genetics and genetic epidemiology required for an adequate grounding in the field. Among much else, the book contains discussion of the public health aspects of the new genetics, and of epidemiological methods for studying genes and environmental factors in complex diseases.Written by leading international experts and supplemented by a glossary and in-chapter guides to further reading, this essential textbook will be widely welcomed by teachers and students on many courses internationally.
Scary Cases in Otolaryngology follows a case-based approach that focuses on potential pitfalls, decision analysis, mistakes, and “near misses” in the management of patients with head and neck disorders. This is an invaluable resource for otolaryngologists as it presents difficult cases and builds a discussion around clinical management, prevention, and the legal and ethical aspects of those cases. Current and future professionals in otolaryngology can analyze their own methodologies as well as the work of their peers to continually promote a safer and healthier environment for their patients. Scary Cases in Otolaryngology is an extension of the annual Scary Cases Conference held by the Boston University School of Medicine. The conference began in 2011 and aims to improve patient safety by addressing complex and controversial cases that involve increased risk, complications, and unfavorable outcomes. The cases in the text have been selected from previous conference presentations. Scary Cases in Otolaryngology addresses questions such as: Did you make a wrong diagnosis before arriving at the correct one? Do you believe that you did everything correctly and the outcome was still unsatisfactory? Did a patient have a serious condition that was difficult to diagnose?Were there major complications?Did you have a difficult ethical dilemma?Were you required to treat a condition beyond your expertise?This innovative text includes clinical information on cases provided by faculty from top medical schools along with their narratives on what they learned. Contributors also include experts in medical malpractice and malpractice liability insurance. Practicing otolaryngologists, otolaryngology residents, malpractice attorneys, law students, otolaryngology nurse practitioners and primary care physicians will benefit from the examples in these “scary cases.

Fundamentals of Toxicologic Pathology 3rd Edition, Kindle Edition
by Wanda M. Haschek (Editor), Brad Bolon (Editor), Colin G. Rousseaux (Editor), Matthew A. Wallig (Editor)
Fundamentals of Toxicologic Pathology, Third Edition, presents an essential overview of systems toxicologic pathology in a clear-and-concise manner. Toxicologic pathology integrates toxicology and its interdisciplinary components, including biochemistry, pharmacodynamics and risk assessment to pathology and its related disciplines, such as physiology, microbiology, immunology and molecular biology. This wholly revised and updated edition presents the newest information on the topic, and is an essential reference for advanced students, early career researchers, toxicologic pathologists, pharmaceutical scientists, medical pathologists and clinicians, and anyone involved with drug and device development.
The book includes a new section describing the application of toxicologic pathology, such as diagnostic and forensic toxicologic pathology, environmental toxicologic pathology, experimental and industrial toxicologic pathology, and pathology issues in the design of toxicology studies. There are also new chapters on special senses (the eye and ear) and the biochemical and molecular basis of toxicity, among others.
Presents revised and updated information for each chapter on systems
Contains expanded sections on applied toxicologic pathology
Includes the essential information necessary to understand toxicologic pathology in an accessible language
The theory and practice of controlling and eliminating microorganisms
Antisepsis, Disinfection, and Sterilization: Types, Action, and Resistance by Gerald E. McDonnell is a detailed and accessible presentation of microbial control methods. Each major category, such as physical disinfection methods, is given a chapter, in which theory, spectrum of activity, advantages, disadvantages, and modes of action of the methods are thoroughly and clearly presented. Sufficient background on the life cycles and general anatomy of microorganisms is provided so that the reader who is new to microbiology will better appreciate how physical and chemical biocides work their magic on microbes. Topics covered include: • Evaluating the efficacy of chemical antiseptics and disinfectants, and of physical methods of microbial control and sterilization • How to choose the proper biocidal product and process for specific applications • Classic physical and chemical disinfection methods, such as heat, cold, non-ionizing radiation, acids, oxidizing agents, and metals • Newer chemical disinfectants, including isothiazolones, micro- and nano-particles, and bacteriophages as control agents • Antisepsis of skin and wounds and the biocides that can be used as antiseptics • Classic methods of physical sterilization along with newer methods, including the use of plasma or pulsed light • Chemical sterilization methods that use ethylene oxide, formaldehyde, or a variety of other oxidizing agents • Modes of action of biocides in controlling microbial growth and disrupting microbial physiology • Mechanisms that microorganisms use to resist the effects of biocides
The second edition of Antisepsis, Disinfection, and Sterilization: Types, Action, and Resistance is well suited as a textbook and is outstanding as a reference book for facilities managers and application engineers in manufacturing plants, hospitals, and food production facilities. It is also essential for public health officials, health care professionals, and infection control practitioners.
