	Breast Cancer: Sharing the Decision Oxford, United Kingdom, Oxford University Press. 1999. (ISBN: 0192629670) Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall. Of all cancers, probably breast cancer is one of the most emotive. Increasingly patients with breast cancer are participating in the surgical and/or medical decision about their treatment. This involvement raises ethical issues about the rights of patients and their ability to give an informed consent, concerns about the process of communication betwen the medical staff and the patient, and also issues about the psychology of not only the woman with breast cancer, but also the doctor. This book addresses these issues relating to shared decision making and in particular those areas where a choice of treatment option involves some degree of risk/benefit analysis. It covers the ethical principles and then looks at the evidence that women who wish to participate and who are fully informed and who have taken part in the decision making process regarding their treatment, and who have a positive attitude towards their illness, tend to do better in the long run. Appropriate experts have contributed sections on the different treatment options to provide a brief overview of the treatments available and highlight the issues that should be considered by the woman and the doctor in the decision making process. There is also a section on the patients perspective and vignettes throughout to illustrate dilemmas the paitent faces and the importance of communication. Written for the surgical, medical and clinical oncologists who deal with breast cancer patients and senior nurses in breast cancer units, this book will also be of interest to trainees practising oncologists, and the women themselves who are interested in the shared decision making process in oncology generally.

	Cell Proliferation in Cancer: Regulatory Mechanisms of Neoplastic Cell Growth Oxford, United Kingdom, Oxford University Press. 1995. (ISBN: 0198547919) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall. Research in cellular and molecular biology has reached the point now where it is possible to begin to see how the different fields of cancer genetics/oncogene research and intercellular communication form an integrated molecular model for the regulation of normal and neoplastic cell proliferation. A number of important discoveries in this field during the past few year shave greatly increased our understanding of cancer biology and have offered new diagnostic and prognostic parameters in oncology. This information also holds the promise of novel, more effective therapeutic approaches to cancer. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult for an individual to maintain a wide and informed knowledge of current concepts in this rapidly moving field, or to form an integrated overview of the myriad factors involved in neoplastic cell proliferation. This book comprises a number of state-of-the-art reviews written by leading scientists. Each chapter gives a concise overview of specific intra-and intercellular events which regulate the proliferation of neoplastic cells, and the established and potential clinical implications of these developments. The topics have been selected to cover major recent advances in our understanding of the molecular events which govern cell division. It is expected that students, scientists and clinicians working in the fields of oncology, pathology, and molecular/cellular biology would find this volume invaluable as a stimulating source of information.

	BARNES, MARYLOU R.; WARD, A. Textbook of Rehabilitation Medicine Oxford, United Kingdom, Oxford University Press. 2000. (ISBN: 0192628054) Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. Knowledge of the techniques of rehabilitation is an increasingly important component of training in a range of medical and surgical specialities. It is now recognized that rehabilitation medicine requires specific training and has evolved as a distinct medical speciality. This trend has been encouraged by the move away from acute hospital care, towards care and services delivered in the community setting. The practice of rehabilitation medicine produces real benefits, which canbe measured in terms of improved function, fewer complications, better co-ordination, cost-effectiveness and the general education of health professionals, the disabled person and their family. This text, aimed at all members of medical staff involved in the care of the disabled or handicapped patient serves to outline the underlying principles of rehabilitation medicine and provide information about the benefits of applying the relevant principles and techniques. There are chapters on the management of general physical and psychological disabilities, as well as consideration of specific disabling conditions, such as multiple sclerosis and stroke. The book also addresses the measurement of disability, its epidemiology, organizational aspects of the delivery of a rehabilitation service and introduces the concepts of the rehabilitation team and the generic rehabilitation specialist.

	COOPER, DAVID K. C.; LANZA, ROBERT P. Xeno : The Promise of Transplanting Animal Organs into Humans Oxford University Press. 2000. (ISBN: 0195128338) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall. The majority of patients in need of organ transplants do not survive long enough for a suitable human organ to become available. Xenotransplantation, the transplant of animal organs into humans, has attracted substantial media attention. If, as appears likely, it proves possible to "humanize" animal organs and evade the problems of rejection, in the coming few years there will be a tremendous increase in this procedure, mostly using organs from animals specifically for their harvestable organs. This book will lay out the potential and promise of the technique, the history of organ transplantation, the technical problems and breakthroughs in overcoming immune rejection, and typing and humanizing donor organs for transplantation. The ethical question of growing animals specifically for organ harvest, and the substantial public health concern from the certainty that animal viruses will pass into humans with the donated organs, will be fully discussed. The authors are among the leaders in the field of Xenotransplantation. Very Good/Good - Has Shelf Wear.

	DOWNIE, ROBIN S.; MACNAUGHTON, JANE; RANDALL, FIONA Clinical Judgement : Evidence in Practice 2000. (ISBN: 0192632167) Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall. There is a widespread view that modern medicine is primarily a scientific enterprise and that the decisions of clinicians follow from evidence-based science. In terms of this view the need for clinical judgement is minimal. The aims of this book are to make a case for the centrality and irreplaceability of clinical judgement, to identify the elements of good clinical judgement, and to suggest how these might be developed by using the humanities in medical undergraduate and postgraduate education. The authors argue that good clinical judgement requires both technical evidence and a humane attitude. But technical evidence is not always quantifiable or even scientific; it can be like that of the detective or the literary scholar. A humane attitude involves ethical sensitivity, but also a broad educated perspective which can be derived from the arts. The authors illustrate their argument by examining decisions made by doctors in clinical situations, in public health, and (in a chapter contributed by a hospital consultant) in resource management. About the authors: Robert S. Downie is Professor of Moral Philosophy at Glasgow University since 1969. He is a member of the BMA Ethics Committee and co-editor of the Journal of Medical Ethics. He has published extensively in the field of medical ethics. Jane MacNaughton has recently taken the position of Director of Centre for Arts, Humanities, Health and Medicine at the University of Durham. Previously she was Clinical Lecturer in General Practice at Glasgow University and a part-time GP. New - Slight Shelf Wear/New - Slight Shelf Wear.

	FENTIMAN, IAN S. Cancer in the Elderly: Treatment and Research Cary, North Carolina, U.S.A. Oxford Univ Pr. 1994. (ISBN: 0192622005) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall. Age is the most important known risk factor for malignancy and therefore cancer is becoming an ever-increasing problem with greater longevity. Approximately one half of the common cancers occur in patients aged over 70. Paradoxically, however, they are excluded from clinical trails on grounds of "frailty". Such data as are available indicated that elderly cancer patients are often undertreated, giving rise to an increased risk of recurrence and death. This book considers the relation between ageing and malignancy and brings together a breadth of international clinical research on cancer in the elderly. The management of common tumours is examined from the perspective of surgery, radiotherapy, and medical oncology. Additionally, the psychosocial problems of the elderly and the specific needs for palliative care in older patients are discussed. Cancer in the elderly makes recommendations for optimal treatment, but the authors also identify areas where knowledge is scarce and there is a need for both basic and applied research. This book is intended for clinical oncologists, radiotherapists, surgical oncologists, geriatricians and health economists. Good/Good.

	Breast Cancer: Sharing the Decision Oxford, United Kingdom, Oxford University Press. 1999. (ISBN: 0192629670) Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall. Of all cancers, probably breast cancer is one of the most emotive. Increasingly patients with breast cancer are participating in the surgical and/or medical decision about their treatment. This involvement raises ethical issues about the rights of patients and their ability to give an informed consent, concerns about the process of communication betwen the medical staff and the patient, and also issues about the psychology of not only the woman with breast cancer, but also the doctor. This book addresses these issues relating to shared decision making and in particular those areas where a choice of treatment option involves some degree of risk/benefit analysis. It covers the ethical principles and then looks at the evidence that women who wish to participate and who are fully informed and who have taken part in the decision making process regarding their treatment, and who have a positive attitude towards their illness, tend to do better in the long run. Appropriate experts have contributed sections on the different treatment options to provide a brief overview of the treatments available and highlight the issues that should be considered by the woman and the doctor in the decision making process. There is also a section on the patients perspective and vignettes throughout to illustrate dilemmas the paitent faces and the importance of communication. Written for the surgical, medical and clinical oncologists who deal with breast cancer patients and senior nurses in breast cancer units, this book will also be of interest to trainees practising oncologists, and the women themselves who are interested in the shared decision making process in oncology generally.

	Cell Proliferation in Cancer: Regulatory Mechanisms of Neoplastic Cell Growth Oxford, United Kingdom, Oxford University Press. 1995. (ISBN: 0198547919) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall. Research in cellular and molecular biology has reached the point now where it is possible to begin to see how the different fields of cancer genetics/oncogene research and intercellular communication form an integrated molecular model for the regulation of normal and neoplastic cell proliferation. A number of important discoveries in this field during the past few year shave greatly increased our understanding of cancer biology and have offered new diagnostic and prognostic parameters in oncology. This information also holds the promise of novel, more effective therapeutic approaches to cancer. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult for an individual to maintain a wide and informed knowledge of current concepts in this rapidly moving field, or to form an integrated overview of the myriad factors involved in neoplastic cell proliferation. This book comprises a number of state-of-the-art reviews written by leading scientists. Each chapter gives a concise overview of specific intra-and intercellular events which regulate the proliferation of neoplastic cells, and the established and potential clinical implications of these developments. The topics have been selected to cover major recent advances in our understanding of the molecular events which govern cell division. It is expected that students, scientists and clinicians working in the fields of oncology, pathology, and molecular/cellular biology would find this volume invaluable as a stimulating source of information.

Knowledge of the techniques of rehabilitation is an increasingly important component of training in a range of medical and surgical specialities. It is now recognized that rehabilitation medicine requires specific training and has evolved as a distinct medical speciality. This trend has been encouraged by the move away from acute hospital care, towards care and services delivered in the community setting. The practice of rehabilitation medicine produces real benefits, which canbe measured in terms of improved function, fewer complications, better co-ordination, cost-effectiveness and the general education of health professionals, the disabled person and their family. This text, aimed at all members of medical staff involved in the care of the disabled or handicapped patient serves to outline the underlying principles of rehabilitation medicine and provide information about the benefits of applying the relevant principles and techniques. There are chapters on the management of general physical and psychological disabilities, as well as consideration of specific disabling conditions, such as multiple sclerosis and stroke. The book also addresses the measurement of disability, its epidemiology, organizational aspects of the delivery of a rehabilitation service and introduces the concepts of the rehabilitation team and the generic rehabilitation specialist.

The majority of patients in need of organ transplants do not survive long enough for a suitable human organ to become available. Xenotransplantation, the transplant of animal organs into humans, has attracted substantial media attention. If, as appears likely, it proves possible to "humanize" animal organs and evade the problems of rejection, in the coming few years there will be a tremendous increase in this procedure, mostly using organs from animals specifically for their harvestable organs. This book will lay out the potential and promise of the technique, the history of organ transplantation, the technical problems and breakthroughs in overcoming immune rejection, and typing and humanizing donor organs for transplantation. The ethical question of growing animals specifically for organ harvest, and the substantial public health concern from the certainty that animal viruses will pass into humans with the donated organs, will be fully discussed.

	DOWNIE, ROBIN S.; MACNAUGHTON, JANE; RANDALL, FIONA Clinical Judgement : Evidence in Practice 2000. (ISBN: 0192632167) Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall. There is a widespread view that modern medicine is primarily a scientific enterprise and that the decisions of clinicians follow from evidence-based science. In terms of this view the need for clinical judgement is minimal. The aims of this book are to make a case for the centrality and irreplaceability of clinical judgement, to identify the elements of good clinical judgement, and to suggest how these might be developed by using the humanities in medical undergraduate and postgraduate education. The authors argue that good clinical judgement requires both technical evidence and a humane attitude. But technical evidence is not always quantifiable or even scientific; it can be like that of the detective or the literary scholar. A humane attitude involves ethical sensitivity, but also a broad educated perspective which can be derived from the arts. The authors illustrate their argument by examining decisions made by doctors in clinical situations, in public health, and (in a chapter contributed by a hospital consultant) in resource management. About the authors: Robert S. Downie is Professor of Moral Philosophy at Glasgow University since 1969. He is a member of the BMA Ethics Committee and co-editor of the Journal of Medical Ethics. He has published extensively in the field of medical ethics. Jane MacNaughton has recently taken the position of Director of Centre for Arts, Humanities, Health and Medicine at the University of Durham.

	FENTIMAN, IAN S. Cancer in the Elderly: Treatment and Research Cary, North Carolina, U.S.A. Oxford Univ Pr. 1994. (ISBN: 0192622005) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall. Age is the most important known risk factor for malignancy and therefore cancer is becoming an ever-increasing problem with greater longevity. Approximately one half of the common cancers occur in patients aged over 70. Paradoxically, however, they are excluded from clinical trails on grounds of "frailty". Such data as are available indicated that elderly cancer patients are often undertreated, giving rise to an increased risk of recurrence and death. This book considers the relation between ageing and malignancy and brings together a breadth of international clinical research on cancer in the elderly. The management of common tumours is examined from the perspective of surgery, radiotherapy, and medical oncology. Additionally, the psychosocial problems of the elderly and the specific needs for palliative care in older patients are discussed. Cancer in the elderly makes recommendations for optimal treatment, but the authors also identify areas where knowledge is scarce and there is a need for both basic and applied research. This book is intended for clinical oncologists, radiotherapists, surgical oncologists, geriatricians and health economists. Good/Good.
