New eBooks!

We have recently purchased ten new eBook titles to add to the collection. The first is Alzheimer Disease and Other Dementias: A Practical Guide by Marc E. Agronin. This book is a concise resource on dementia subtypes, assessment, and treatment, as well as the psychiatric conditions often associated with it. As described on Amazon, it

“addresses all the subtypes of dementia and associated psychiatric conditions such as agitation, psychosis, and depression. This edition features a new chapter on mild cognitive impairment and expanded coverage of Alzheimer disease and risk factors. Chapters offer advice on caregiver support and legal and ethical concerns.”

Another new title is Basic and Bedside Electrocardiography by Romulo F. Baltazar. Again, according to Amazon.com this book combines

“the basics of ECG interpretation with the most recent clinical guidelines for treating patients with ECG abnormalities. Each concise, bulleted chapter discusses a disease state, gives many tracings as examples, provides clear illustrations of pathophysiology, and offers guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of specific entities. More than 600 illustrations aid readers in recognizing commonly encountered ECG abnormalities. Diagrammatic illustrations at the end of most chapters summarize the different ECG abnormalities discussed, to help readers recognize the different arrhythmias more easily. An appendix provides quick-reference information on commonly used intravenous agents.”

These and eight other new titles will soon be available through our new and improved online catalog.
