Top of the Line for Basic Medical Providers
Prehospital emgergency care is the best book that I have read for EMT-B level care providers. I live in Ontario, Canada, where we do not have EMT's. We have paramedics and first responders. This book is a great first book for those getting into the emergency medicine profession. It covers the basics of the basics very well and very thoroughly. The pictures are clear and easy to understand and the language isn't too complicated to understand.
We used a version of this book for medical training in the fire service and it has proven itself to be a very practical and efficient learning tool. There are expanded areas in cetain chapters where the book goes above and beyond the level of knowledge that EMT-B level providers will need to know. It's always good to know more than you need to and this book helps tremendously with that. Those intending on pursuing their careers into more advanced paramedicine should consider making this book the foundation to their knowledge.

The CD that comes along with it is a valuable resource that assists with learning. As well as the web site that is given in the book can be used as a study guide. This is a must for all responders to medical incidents. This is the core information that all emergency providers really need to know because of the fact that it doesn't take that long to learn and that just a little knowledge can go a long way to save somebody's life. Even police officers should have a copy of this in their library and review it often.

Brady - Prehospital Emergency Care, I have my own preference, I always read. This is the best Prentice Hall Product and have sixth edition. Text contains clear, step-by-step to education, picture or diagram is explanations with understandable material that is comprehensive, stimulating, and challenging enough to prepare , real on-the-job situations and attractive price.

Best-selling. It¡¦s because this book is not only suitable for EMT ¡V Basic. It¡¦s suitable for all. People want to study in any time, any elsewhere of life support. This book was considered the all resource for medical and trauma emergencies.

In this book train students to do thorough patient assessment. Because patient assessment is very important, use limit resource to save unlimit life. I think this book is leadership on this area. And expanded to include even more full-color art and photos of procedures and updated equipment, as well as new flowcharts illustrating assessment and care steps for various emergency situations. The authors also bring students up to date on new protocols that summarize cardiac arrest, pediatric emergencies, as well as many other crisis conditions. NEW twenty-six new assessment flowcharts illustrate care steps for breathing difficulty, cardiac compromise, diabetic emergencies, bleeding and shock, burns, head injuries, newborn resuscitation, and many more. NEW assessment protocols summarize emergency care for cardiac arrest, stroke, allergic reaction, near-drowning, abdominal injuries, and pediatric emergencies, among others. In-depth patient assessment-based approach presented in a clear, logical format. Case studies integrated throughout the text. Comprehensive, step-by-step coverage meets and exceeds the requirements of the D.O.T. EMT-B curriculum. NEW¡XNew, reader-friendly design highlights key information. Basic Life Support review and National Registry Skill Sheets are included. BLS review helps students recall material that should previously have been covered. National Registry Review Sheets help students prepare for the test they must pass to be certified EMT-B's.

The best innovative is provide weblinks with interactive education. Contains chapter-by-chapter review quizzes, message boards, chat rooms, and additional student and instructor resources. And ¡§Web Watch¡¨ icons throughout the text direct students to current websites that offer further discussion of chapter topics. I believe that is great imporve! ... Read more

Book Description

This latest volume in the excellent Subcellular Biochemistry series is the first attempt to give an in-depth overview of the field of bacterial cell invasion. The current knowledge about all well-studied bacteria with the ability to invade eukaryotic cells is brought together, including bacteria pathogenic to humans and animals as well as the symbiotic rhizobia. Several chapters also deal with new approaches and applications regarding invasive bacteria.The book, which includes contributions from worldwide experts, discusses bacterial invasion ability within the context of bacteria--host cell interaction with the main focus on pathogenicity. ...

Book Description

Hardbound. Rapid molecular identification and typing of micro-organisms is extremely important in efforts to monitor the geographical spread of virulent, epidemic or antibiotic-resistant pathogens. It has become a mainstay of integrated hospital infection control service. In addition, numerous industrial and biotechnological applications require the study of the diversity of organisms. Conventional phenotypic identification and typing methods have long been the mainstay of microbial population and epidemiological studies, but such methods often lack adequate discrimination and their use is normally confined to the group of organisms for which they were originally devised. Molecular fingerprinting methods have flourished in recent years and many of these new methods can be applied to numerous different organisms for a variety of purposes. Standardisation of these methods is vitally important. In addition, the generation of large numbers of complex fingerpr ... Read more

Book Description

An indispensable guide to an emerging technology, this unique book introduces detailed methods for the construction, screening, and use of DNA sequences cloned into yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) vectors and the applications of YACs to gene hunting.Also covered are the reconstruction of large genes and the analysis of YACs by insertion back into mammalian cells--a method that may lead to the therapeutic use of YAC clones.The methods described are drawn form work on human DNA, but are universal to yeast artificial chromosomes used in other organisms. YAC Libraries is the third volume in the UWBC Biotechnical Resource Series with Dr. Richard Burgess, Director of the University of Wisconsin Biotechnology center, as Series Editor.The series is dedicated to providing practical guidance to researchers exploring new technologies and services. ...

Book Description

The study of characteristically persistent bacterial infections has begun to focus attention on some of the basic biological questions: How have host and pathogen coevolved to reach the current balance of power? Is persistent colonization and/or infection a biological accident or the result of an evolved equilibrium?

This important volume addresses these and other timely questions.Offering an examination of persistent bacterial infections in light of ecological and evolutionary principles, it focuses on the principles of parasitism and commensalism and our ability to distinguish the two states.Throughout the volume, the authors explore the ways in which persistent infections differ from the nonpathogenic commensal state.The volume also addresses coevolution, host adaptation, natural selection, and other fundamental biological principles. ...

duh
It's only because it says "BIOLOGICAL" in the title, moron.

this book rocks my socks.

A bunch of gas
I though this book would be about those who fixate on Nitrogen, but it had something to do with plants.

oh.. my.. god..
i read this book about 7 or 8 times, i stopped couting. This book is the best book ever written by anyone ever in the history of man. I wish all the best to Eric W. Triplett, because I know someday this book will get the gratification it deserves.

My god how he did it I'll never know.........
this book was good......... i am not asking so many questions about nitrogen fixation...... Eric W. Triplett is god......

this book is great
this book is the greatest. Eric W. Triplett is a genius!! he wrote a great timeless book for nitrogen lovers of all ages. ... Read more
