Nursing book every nurse should have5
This book helped me more than any other text book during nursing school. It takes a disease or disorder and breaks it down to the nuts and bolts. With every disease you get: a brief description of what it is, it's causes, gender and life span considerations, what to assess, primary nursing diagnosis, planning of care, common drugs used, what labs to look for, discharge guidelines, and what to document. This is all done in less than six pages on most diseases. This book saved me a tremendous amount of time, and I still use it in my nursing practice today. This book was my life line in nursing school, and I wouldn't have made it through without it. You won't regret getting this book. It can be a life saver.
Davis' Manual of Nursing Therapeutics for Diseases and Disor5
This is a MUST HAVE book for all nursing student and health care professionals. The book is easy to read and provides all the essential details needed to properly care for patients. I utilize this book in all my classes. This is one of the best reference books that I have invested in.

Incisional Hernia
Review
From the reviews:
"This is a review on the topic of incisional hernias … . Their aim … is to provide a practical and concise review and focus on the most important and evolving issues in this topic. … This book adds expert opinion to the growing body of literature on incisional hernia repair. It appeals to senior general surgical residents and practicing general surgeons who have accomplished the basic open and laparoscopic techniques and are looking to expand their knowledge base with a quick reference." (Dionne A. Skeete, Doody’s Review Service, April, 2008)Product Description
Incisional hernia surgery has witnessed an important progress over the last years, not only as far as the pathophysiological and etiopathogenetic aspects are concerned, but also from a technical point of view.
Thanks to the recent findings on genetical disorders of the collagen, incisional hernia is today considered a true "disease of the abdominal wall". Surgeons need to be aware of all the different repairing techniques, in order to make an elective choice and to keep side effects and recidives under control. Today, on the basis of the most recent research on synthesis of collagen and collagenolysis, the treatment of the incisional hernia should not disregard the use of synthetic prostheses and of biomaterials, both in the routinal surgical practice and in the most complex clinical cases.
Surgeons, surgical residents, and medical students will find this volume very useful in their daily practice.

Pain and Depression: An Antidisciplinary Patient-Centered Approach (Advances in Psychosomatic Medicine)
Product Description
Pain is the most common physical complaint while depression is the second most debilitating chronic medical condition.

This book provides a synthetic approach to the evaluation and treatment of patients with chronic pain and depression that will generate therapeutic optimism and lead clinicians to improve quality of life and restore function.The recognition that depression is not just an affective disorder or demoralization is discussed in detail in the contributions: Function, Disability, and Psychological Well-Being and in Structural Models of Comorbidity among Common Mental Disorders: Connections to Chronic Pain. Other articles review the complex regional pain syndrome and the Gulf War syndrome. Further papers discuss issues relating to the use of opioids in the treatment of chronic pain.This book will

For the professional in the trenches5
The first edition of this book was exceptionally useful to the forensic psychologist attempting to stay current in both theory and applications in the field of cognition and memory. The second edition is also excellent -- it is readable, relevant, and accessible to the non-specialist in this area.
