        Dietary Reference Intakes for Water, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, and Sulfate

        by Panel on Dietary Reference Intakes for Electrolytes and Water, Standing Committee on the Scientific Evaluation of Dietary Reference Intakes

        Dietary Reference Intakes for Water, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, and Sulfate The Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes to be used for planning and assessing diets for healthy people. This new report, the sixth in a series of reports presenting dietary reference values for the intakes of nutrients by Americans and Canadians, establishes nutrient recommendations on water, potassium, and salt for health maintenance and the reduction of chronic disease risk. Dietary Reference Intakes for Water, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, and Sulfate discusses in detail the role of water, potassium, salt, chloride, and sulfate in human physiology and health. The major findings in this book include the establishment of Adequate Intakes for total water (drinking water, beverages, and food), potassium, sodium, and chloride and the establishment of Tolerable Upper Intake levels for sodium and chloride. The book makes research recommendations for information needed to advance the understanding of human requirements for water and electrolytes, as well as adverse effects associated with the intake of excessive amounts of water, sodium, chloride, potassium, and sulfate. This book will be an invaluable reference for nutritionists, nutrition researchers, and food manufacturers.

      • Routine Blood Results Explained 3/e: A guide for Nurses & Allied Health Professionals

        by Dr Andrew Blann

        Now in its third edition, this essential handbook for nurses and allied health professionals gives clear, simple explanations of blood results, focusing on routinely requested investigations. There have been many changes since the second edition – from alterations in units (such as g/L for haemoglobin, rather than g/dL) to the merging of haematology with biochemistry, blood transfusion and immunology to form blood science. Accordingly, in this new edition there are more details of immunology, immunological diseases, and the blood tests involved. These changes reflect the new roles which nurses, podiatrists and physiotherapists are developing, often with increased responsibility for examining, diagnosing and managing patients, and ordering and interpreting blood tests. The objective of this book is to support and enable these professionals to be successful in their new roles. Wherever possible, each chapter concludes with a brief case study. In addition, more complete case reports – reflecting the different aspects of primary and secondary care – are presented in the concluding chapters. CONTENTS: The red blood cell The white blood cell Coagulation Blood transfusion Immunology Urea & electrolytes, and renal function Investigation of liver function and plasma proteins Atherosclerosis and its risk factors Calcium, bone and musculo-skeletal disease Investigation of thyroid function Blood gases and pH Case reports in primary and secondary care Special situations (pregnancy, the neonate, and the elderly) Physiotherapy and podiatry Adult reference ranges

        Focus on Hyponatremia

        by Peri, Alessandro, Thompson, Chris J., Verbalis, Joseph G.

        It is well known that acute, severe hyponatremia is a life-threatening situation. However, there is growing evidence that mild and chronic hyponatremia may also have negative consequences. Gait disturbances, attention deficits, falls and fractures, and bone loss have all been reported, with increased mortality in almost every disease state if the patient is hyponatremic. This book has been written by key opinion leaders in the field and covers a spectrum of crucial aspects of hyponatremia, including a historical perspective, physiology and pathophysiology of water homeostasis, epidemiology of hyponatremia, and clinical features. A detailed description of all available therapies has been incorporated, with a guide to a clinician’s approach to key therapeutic situations. Hyponatremia is a topic that encompasses all areas of medicine, so this book will be of interest to specialists such as endocrinologists, nephrologists and internists, but will also be a valuable resource for all clinicians who manage patients with hyponatremia.

        Essential Examination

        Step-by-step system-based guide to clinical examination with practical tips and key facts for OSCEs

        by Alasdair K.B. Ruthven

        From reviews: "...[Essential Examination] can be considered as a very helpful “aide-memoire” as practitioners build up their confidence and clinical experience. Although developed with medics in mind, it could be very useful for advanced nurse practitioners and physician assistants; in fact, any health care professional would find it useful as a revision aid particularly when learning with peers. The book is clearly and succinctly written. It is not designed to teach students how to carry out examinations, but in a systematic way it links clinical examination (what you do) to pathophysiology and diagnosis (what you may find and what it means). It is produced in a landscape format in a ring binder which makes it easy to access when on a busy attachment or shift. It very helpfully lists the abbreviations at the beginning..." International Journal of Clinical Skills, www. ijocs. org Amazon review: This is a fantastic book and a must for all medical students. The unique strength of this book is the layout - all important examinations each on a single page. The small pointers are also invaluable and the questions on the reverse side of each examination are perfect for pre-finals revision. This book played a big role in helping me pass my medical school finals. A MUST HAVE!! Sam, final-year medical student Uniquely, Essential Examination lays out the full sequence for examination of one body system on one double-page spread – a format allowing rapid access to information and ideal for use in clinical environments for quick revision. And the spiral binding allows you to keep it open at the body system you need. Each system-based examination offers a clear, step-by-step guide to examining that particular patient, including useful things to say to the patient (or an examiner), detailed descriptions of special tests, etc. Alongside this guide is the other key information you will need: potential findings, differential diagnoses of clinical signs and practical tips. In addition, the following double-page spread provides further facts relating to that particular examination, selected because of the regularity with which they are asked about in bedside teaching and OSCEs. The book also provides essential background information for anyone preparing for the USMLE Step 2 CS. In many sections there are also tips on how to present your findings succinctly to help you keep on track. If you are examining patients on the wards, or preparing for exams, then you need Essential Examination!
