DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Infections of the Central Nervous System, 4e is a clinical reference
on central nervous system infections that has been thoroughly revised
from prior editions. Over 70 leading experts provide comprehensive,
current information on all infections--both neural-specific and systemic-
--that involve the central nervous system. Areas with significant new
clinical information include treatment of tuberculosis, non-tubercular
mycobacterial infections, brain abscess, and Lyme disease.
Handbook of Dialysis is now completely revised in its Fifth Edition. It
continues to provides practical, accessible information on all aspects of
dialysis with emphasis on day-to-day patient management. Authored
by international experts, chapters provide complete coverage of
hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, special problems in dialysis patients,
and problems pertaining to various organ systems. This resource is
designed for nephrologists, nephrology/renal nurses, family physicians
and dialysis centers.
