Exercise Physiology: Human Bioenergetics and Its Applications
Exercise Physiology: Human Bioenergetics and Its Applications, Sixth Edition, provides advanced exercise physiology students with the high-level background information needed to excel in the field of exercise physiology. With guidance from expert authors at the forefront of exercise physiology, explore the interrelationship of exercise, metabolism, and energy storage. With special attention devoted to revisions that add clarity and consistency throughout the text, the sixth edition also contains a wealth of other updates: More information on the lactate shuttle theory—from lead author George Brooks, the developer of the concept Updated content covering metaboreflex, lipid metabolism, and pulmonary ventilation Expanded discussion of the control of gene expression of muscle protein New content on diseases and guidelines on prevention and management Updated information on metabolite homeostasis Often referred to as the "bible of the field," Exercise Physiology: Human Bioenergetics and Its Applications unpacks the principles of bioenergetics, taking readers through the mechanisms of performance as determined by physical and chemical factors. The evolution of exercise physiology as a field is traced back through history, framing present-day breakthroughs through the lens of historical practices. Readers will investigate the capabilities and limits of human physical function, examining exercise not just from a high-performance perspective but also in terms of health benefits. The text has added pedagogical learning aids that make engaging with the content easier, such as chapter objectives, chapter summaries, and review questions. Original figures and tables from the authors encourage critical thinking and help with the practical application of concepts in the book. Students can rest assured that they are learning from legends with the sixth edition of Exercise Physiology: Human Bioenergetics and Its Applications. With updated content and new breakthroughs, as well as the book's reputation as a must-use resource, this text is the best choice for graduate students in exercise physiology.

Oxford Handbook of Trauma and Orthopaedics (Oxford Medical Handbooks)
Up-to-date and practically-focused, the fully revised secondedition of the Oxford Handbook of Trauma and Orthopaedics has received a major refresh, including new topics, illustrations, summary boxes, and key references. It provides clinical professionals, trainees, and students with essential information for use with adult and paediatric patients, in the operating room, in tutorials, and when studying for exams including MRCS, FRCS, and other orthopaedic diplomas. Presenting both the fundamental science and practice alongside higher-level discussion in a succinct and user-friendly style, it is a concise but definitive guide to the field. Key illustrations and easy-reference diagrams guide the reader, and the appendices provide information on common drugs and fracture classifications. New topics include pre-hospital care, major trauma, setup of theatre complex, global orthopaedics, and EBM, hip fractures, soft tissue knee injuries, cauda equina, and metastatic spinal cord compression. Written by specialists and trainees, the Handbook is an accessible and informative tool suitable for all levels of training. Pekár Mihály Orvosi és Élettudományi Szakkönyvtár

Psychopharmacology
This new, and heavily revised, edition of Psychopharmacology, provides a comprehensive scientific study of the effects of drugs on the mind and behavior. With the growing prevalence of psychiatric and behavioral disorders and the rapid advances in the development of new drug therapies, this textbook offers an essential understanding of the necessary details of drug action. The book presents its coverage in the context of the behavioral disorders they are designed to treat, rather than by traditional drug classifications, to strengthen understanding of the underlying physiology and neurochemistry, as well as the approaches to treatment. Each disorder from the major diagnostic categories is discussed from a historical context along with diagnostic criteria and descriptions of typical cases. In addition, what we presently know about the underlying pathology of each disorder is carefully described. Providing a solid foundation in psychology, neuroanatomy and physiology, the book also offers a critical examination of drug claims, as well as coverage of evidence-based alternatives to traditional drug therapies. Throughout, this text discusses how drug effectiveness is measured in both human and animal studies. Topics new to this edition include: a stronger emphasis on the environmental impacts on drug effectiveness; more on the mechanisms of adverse reactions to drugs and information on managing drug side effects; the risks and benefits of using "mood stabilizing drugs" to address behavior in youth with ADHD or ASD; and discussion of the research-to-practice gap in pharmacological care for children and adolescents. Accompanied by a robust selection of support material, this textbook is ideal for undergraduate and pre-professional students on courses in Psychopharmacology, Clinical Psychopharmacology, Drugs and Behavior. It is a valuable contribution to highlight the symbiotic relationship between psychopharmacology and the neural and behavioral sciences. Pekár Mihály Orvosi és Élettudományi Szakkönyvtár
