Mechanisms disease

For nearly 20 years, Slauson-Cooper has been the book of choice in general veterinary pathology. Now totally revised and updated, this new third edition continues to focus on recent advances in the understanding of the complex mechanisms by which mammals become sick. It introduces readers to disease concepts inherent in clinical medicine through the study of pathogenetic mechanisms, and stresses the importance of critical thinking throughout. Still the only text devoted to general veterinary pathology, MECHANISMS OF DISEASE, 3rd Edition, strikes a good balance between the detail required for sophisticated explanations of disease mechanisms and "information overload."

Stress is generally defined as a strain upon a bodily organ or mental power. Depending on its duration and intensity, stress can have short- or long-lasting effects: it has been linked to heart disease, immune deficiency, memory loss, behavioral disorders, and much more. These effects on the individual also have a major impact on health care costs and services, employee productivity, and even violent crime. The Encyclopedia of Stress is the first comprehensive reference source on stressors, the biological mechanisms involved in the stress response, the effects of activating the stress response mechanisms, and the disorders that may arise as a consequence of acute or chronic stress. While other books focus on specific aspects of stress, this three-volume set covers the entire spectrum of topics, with nearly 400 articles in all. In addition to the subjects traditionally associated with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (whereby the brain sends a message to the body to react), the Encyclopedia includes a wide range of related topics such as neuroimmune interactions, cytokines, enzymatic disorders, effects on the cardiovascular system, immunity and inflammation, and physical illnesses. It also goes beyond the biological aspects of stress to cover topics such as stress and behavior, psychiatric and psychosomatic disorders, workplace stress, post-traumatic stress, stress-reduction techniques, and current therapies. The Encyclopedia of Stress makes information easy to find and understand for a broad audience of researchers, clinicians, professionals, and students

This new Oxford Textbook will become the definitive reference for ophthalmology. Fully illustrated in colour throughout, it covers all aspects of the scientific basis, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of the eye and its disorders, including neuro-ophthalmology, paediatric ophthalmology, and surgical principles and anaesthesia. The textbook has been written by an international team of contributors who have been instructed to emphasize clear plans for clinical management, giving the scientific evidence on which they based, while also analysing underlying mechanisms of disease.

This international and authoritative treatise covers all aspects of pleural disease. Beginning with a comprehensive introductory section to provide guidance to, and aid understanding of, the basic mechanisms that underlie pleural diseases, the book follows with a series of clinical chapters, discussing all the common and less common pleural diseases. These chapters in this section will be written to a uniform structure covering definition, incidence and epidemiology, etiology and pathogenesis, clinical presentation, investigations, treatments, possible complications and directions for future development. Guidelines for management are included where appropriate and each chapter concludes with a summary highlighting practical patient management 'tips'. The book will be an invaluable reference for, and consulted frequently by, specialist pulmonologists with an interest in pleural diseases, and will also be a useful library reference for trainee and other pulmonary physicians.
