The serial provides the latest and most up-to-date technologies related to the field of clinical chemistry and is the benchmark for novel analytical approaches in the clinical laboratory.
This book highlights assessment techniques, issues, and procedures
that appeal to practicing clinicians. Rather than a comprehensive
handbook of various tests and measures, The Clinical Assessment of
Children and Adolescents is a practitioner-friendly text that
provides guidance for test selection, interpretation, and
application. With topics ranging from personality assessment to
behavioral assessment to the assessment of depression and thought
disorder, the leaders in the field of child and adolescent
measurement outline selection and interpretation of measures in a
manner that is most relevant to clinicians and graduate students.
Each chapter makes use of extensive case material in order to
highlight issues of applicability.

Apathy is characterized by loss of motivation, decreased initiative, and emotional blunting. It is highly prevalent in neurological, and psychiatric disorders like Alzheimer's disease, traumatic brain injury, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, cerebrovascular disorders, and mild behavioural impairment. It has negative outcomes including impairments in activities of daily living, caregiver burden, and higher rates of institutionalization and mortality. The definition of apathy has changed over the years alongside the development of diagnostic criteria and apathy scales and measurements. Apathy is emerging as a treatment target with interest in pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and neuromodulatory treatments for apathy. There is also an increased understanding of the neurobiology of apathy with functional and structural neuroimaging research studies. This book is a comprehensive, in-depth review from experts in neurology and psychiatry. It reviews the current state of apathy in these various disorders while also summarizing apathy diagnostic criteria, scales and measurements, neuropathology, and treatments.

The ability to interpret and synthesise medical data is essential for doctors, yet it is a skill which can be difficult to master. Data Interpretation Made Easy focuses on developing this skill by presenting an array of case-based themes considering interpretation of blood results, X-rays, ECGs and CT images in medicine with discussion of evidence-based practice. The concise, list-based text aids easy comprehension and images provide the much needed link from raw data to evidence-based care and management. This highly practical book is essential reading for undergraduate medical students preparing for examinations. It is also ideal for junior doctors needing a succinct guide to data interpretation for everyday use. 'Dr Neel Sharma's latest venture on data interpretation has dozens of credible clinical scenarios covering many key areas of clinical medicine. And you will certainly feel challenged, as he leaves it up to you to diagnose and devise the treatment plan.' From the Foreword by Tiago Villanueva

Despite diagnosis being the key feature of a physician's clinical performance, this is the first book that deals specifically with the topic. In recent years, however, considerable interest has been shown in this area and significant developments have occurred in two main areas: a) an awareness and increasing understanding of the critical role of clinical decision making in the process of diagnosis, and of the multiple factors that impact it, and b) a similar appreciation of the role of the healthcare system in supporting clinicians in their efforts to make accurate diagnoses. Although medicine has seen major gains in knowledge and technology over the last few decades, there is a consensus that the diagnostic failure rate remains in the order of 10-15%. This book provides an overview of the major issues in this area, in particular focusing on where the diagnostic process fails, and where improvements might be made.
Carpenito's best-selling, Handbook of Nursing Diagnosis, now in an impressive sixteenth edition, is the ideal quick reference for nursing diagnosis information. This handbook offers practical guidance on nursing diagnoses and associated care. The quick-reference type scope of content, makes it easy for students to use while in clinical, in the classroom or simulation lab. From goals to specific interventions, Handbook of Nursing Diagnosis focuses on nursing. It provides a condensed, organized outline of clinical nursing practice designed to communicate creative clinical nursing. It is not meant to replace nursing textbooks, but rather to provide nurses who work in a variety of settings with the information they need without requiring a time-consuming review of the literature. It will assist students in transferring their theoretical knowledge to clinical practice. This is a must-have reference that nursing students will use throughout their curriculum and into their professional career.

This groundbreaking book explains prognosis from the perspective of
doctors, examining why physicians are reluctant to predict the
future, how doctors use prognosis, the symbolism it contains, and
the emotional difficulties it involves. Drawing on his experiences
as a doctor and sociologist, Nicholas Christakis interviewed scores
of physicians and searched dozens of medical textbooks and medical
school curricula for discussions of prognosis in an attempt to get
to the core of this nebulous medical issue that, despite its
importance, is only partially understood and rarely discussed.

Recent Trends in Computer-aided Diagnostic Systems for Skin Diseases: Theory, Implementation, and Analysis provides comprehensive coverage on the development of computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems employing image processing and machine learning tools for improved, uniform evaluation and diagnosis (avoiding subjective judgment) of skin disorders. The methods and tools are described in a general way so that these tools can be applied not only for skin diseases but also for a wide range of analogous problems in the domain of biomedical systems. Moreover, quantification of clinically relevant information that can associate the findings of physicians/experts is the most challenging task of any CAD system. This book gives all the details in a step-by-step form for different modules so that the readers can develop each of the modules like preprocessing, feature extraction/learning, disease classification, as well as an entire expert diagnosis system themselves for their own applications.
