Injuries Books

Dr. nath has performed two surgeries on my daughter. He is great at what he does and very trustworthy. The book helped my daughter view her life time injury. Dr. Nath's website also provides photos of procedures. Excelletn doctor and great book.

We found this book very helpful in providing a clear and detailed explanation of the brachial plexus injury our son suffers from. It takes some work to get through, but is not so technical that people with little medical / physiological knowledge will struggle. The photos and diagrams are excellent.

Don't bother with the 7-volume set by the same author. It covers too many subjects in not enough detail. THIS is THE trauma set to own for the practicing OMF surgeon and residents. There is hardly a question not answered within these large texts. Surgical anatomy is reviewed, the pictures are excellent, it is well written, and it is current. It is a book that you should acquire as one of your first titles while an OMF resident. Useful for ENT and Plastics, as well, but really covers the discipline of OMFS trauma nicely.

The Previous editon (1991) was recommended in "A Basic List of Recommended Books and Journals for Support of Clinical Dentistry in a Nondental Library" in Bulletin Of the Medical Library Association, July 1997.

Excellent book for those who want to specialise or want to have indepth knowledge about shoulder pathologies and rehabilitation.Useful as a desk reference in outpatient orthopedic clinic.I highly recommend this book for a novice as well as for experienced PT.

I have the extreme pleasure of working with Marty Kelley P.T OCS. He is one of the most renownwed experts in the shoulder. He has written many articles and chapters on shoulder rehab. Marty is also the musculoskelatel team leader at The University of Pennsylvania Health System. His knowledg of orthopedics is vast and un-ending. His book describes the shoulder in vast detail and also breaks down the specific injuries and diagnosis into easy to understand format. Also the sections on rehab are informative and also cutting edge. I can speak from first hand experience Marty knows what he is talking about. This is an excellent refference book for shoulder rehab. If you want to know about how to rehab the shoulder you need not look any further than his book.

Male or female, both genders will find a helpful reading on this book. It's not only about parental image, it's also about basic emotions.

M. Esther Marding MD was a Jungian analyst who worked with Carl Jung himself, and went on to become the first of woman to practice Jungian psychology in America. The Parental Image: Its Injury And Reconstruction is an astutely presented analytical psychology study of the profound effects parental images have upon the life and psyche of the individual. Exploring complex topics such as the development of consciousness, healing injured parental images, the parental image as source and container of life, and more, The Parental Image is a thoughtfully reasoned and classical contribution to studies in Jungian psychology which has been deftly edited for contemporary readers by Daryl Sharp.

This book provides a very thorough review of the neck, shoulder and brachial plexux. I was able to utilize it to study form my hand certification exam and the chapter on the brachial plexus was very helpful. The chapters providing the orthopedic shoulder information were also very thorough and helpful.

The fourth edition looks the coolest of all previous editions due to its metallic blue cover. The information inside ain't bad either.

Written by a physical therapist, this book is more for people in the field, such as PT's, athletic trainer's or even ortho docs- in other words people who specialize in the shoulder. I found it to be a great reference book to keep on my desk as it covers every major shoulder problem, from frozen shoulder, to impingement issues, to brachial plexus problems. However non-medical readers looking for a less technical book to treat their shoulder pain might be interested in Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff.

Injuries; unintentional, suicidal and homicidal; remain the leading cause of years of life lost and of disability for children, and a leading problem for the elderly in the United States.

Traumatic episodes of scald burns from hot water heaters, conflagrations and chemical poisoning associated with dropped lit cigarettes, near- and drownings around improperly gated or fenced home swimming pools, and easily available "non-safety packaged" firearms tragedies- these are examples of the thousands of annually preventable consumer product related injuries and deaths. And yet,aside from the many books on the statistics and epidemiology of injury, or on descriptive or anaytical reports with normative recommendations for action, there are few that illustrate, as does Political Approaches.. the "how to's" for successful legislation and advocacy so effective in the history of leadership in public health and medicine.

Each case study of how the " injury prevention docs " did it is followed by a complete set of useable references and by a follow-up ' informal' interview with the expert.

While this book was written almost ten years ago, the stories show the constants of historical personalities, values and events common to various historical settings of medicine and public health that make the differences for saving lives and limbs.

Dr. Berman, an early pioneer from the new generation of researchers, practitioners and educators, visions injuries as preventable, not random events nor fate, and shows the reader how to lead on the sometimes lonesome but invigorating road of prevention of injury disabilities and deaths.

Injuries; non-intentional , suicidal or homicidal; remain the leading cause of years of life lost and of disability for children, and the aged, in the United States. Traumatic episodes involving burns from hot water heater related scalds , conflagrations and chemical and heat injuries associated with dropped lit cigarettes, near- and drownings around improperly or non-existant unfenced nor gated home swimming pools, and easily available and non-safety packaged guns involved in firearms episodes are examples of thousands of annually preventable consumer product related injuries and deaths. And yet, aside from many books on the statistics and epidemiology of injury , or descriptive or analytical reports with normative recommendations for action, there are few that illustrate, as does Political Approaches to Injury Control at the State Level, the " how to's" for successful legislative and advocacy approaches so effective in the history of public health and medical leadership, especially in childhood disease.

This is an excellent "how to" book with numerous illustrations & guides on what NOT to do when using a computer. I'm an author and retired executive and professor who's been using computers since before PCs were invented. If everyone followed the excellent advice in this book the incidence of computer related injuries would plummet.

I reviewed this in 1993. I thought it was great then and I haven't changed my mind. The author was a concert pianist and noticed a lot of musicians having the same trouble we associate with computer use. Her common sense approach and excellent writing style make this a superb guide for anyone who repeats the same tasks, from butchers and bakers to candlestick makers.

I totally agree and loved this book. George Prigatano is an amazing and compassionate author and researcher. A huge gift to this century (and last).

In this seminal work, George Prigatano specifies what is state-of-the-art in Neuropsychological Rehabilitation at the end of the twentieth century. This book is essential reading for anyone working in this field, whether they be Clinical/Neuro-psychologists or related health professionals. It puts neuropsych rehab into an historical perspective, identifying the key people who have shaped the field over the 19th and 20th centuries. By doing so Prigatano rightfully elevates himself to that level, while at the same time acknowledging his contemporaries.

"Principles" is packed with clinically-useful information giving an overview of current best-practice as well as identifying the yawning gaps which exist in the research. A good illustration of this is the chapter on Awareness/Anosognosia which is a nice adjunct to Prigatano and Shachter's 1991 book on the same topic.

From the point of view of the practising clinician, a few years out from clinical training, it is wonderful the way in which Prigatano synthesises the breadth of research on a topic. He identifies the neural substrates of clincal phenomena, tests sensitive to deficit, the associated behaviour, and where possible, the treatment options.

If I were to criticise this work (which I am loathe to do because as you can tell I like it very much!) I would I would like to read more about the different settings that rehabilitation occurs in, how they compare, and which clients benefit best from which system.

Final note: A terrific resource for anyone interested in Neuropsychological Rehabilitation. Well-written and reflecting the lifetime work of a central figure in the field. Synthesises the history of rehabilitation with up-to-the-minute research (much of it Prigatano's own), and filling the gaps in the literature with snippets of his own clinical experience.

All athletic trainers should have this quick reference on hand. Find the information you need quickly.

I highly recommend this book if you are looking for an easy reference guide. It has all of the important information that an Athletic Trainer would need. It is easy to find the information that you are looking for. Great book.

Used this second edition in residency and found it very helpful. Third edition was published last year, 2005 and have it on order.

The authors are the masters of AO school about fracture management. The AO philosophy is well explained in the text. The section on the pelvis and acetabulum fractures are the essence of the whole book. The main disadvantages of this work are about fractures involving spine, wrist, and hand. The section on spinal trauma loses its focus. This book omits the management of the wrist and hand fractures, a sad thing. The management for proximal humerus fracture is quite old fashioned. The AO had developed many new implants recently but barely mentioned in this book. Many proofreading errors will be encoutered but they won't lessen the value of this great work. A great buy for clinician, and junior resident. This book is very easy to read and help yougrasp the essence of the AO phiolosophy in short time. Enjoy!
