Heart Sounds and Murmurs Across the Lifespan defines the concepts needed to learn or review cardiac auscultation. The combination of audio (available on either CD or audiocassette) and text explains how to identify and interpret normal and common abnormal heart sounds. Some heart sounds are reproduced on a heart sound simulator, allowing for a clear, crisp grasp of specific, individual sounds. Others are recorded from real patients to distinguish between similar heart and lung sounds, and to help the listener select the heart sounds from the auditory milieu. Covers the distinct heart sounds (S1 through S4) first, then graduates the listener to more complex sounds and murmurs. Builds upon the individual heart sounds by including end-of-chapter reinforcement in more than 170 self-learning, "unknown" heart sounds exercises and questions with answers. Also groups extraneous sounds around which normal heart sounds they are likely to be heard, i.e., "sounds around S1". This approach allows practitioners to build co

Reviews of progress in the 30-year "war on cancer" have been mixed. Yes, the incidence and death rates of cancer have been declining for the past decade. But these trends pale in comparison with the dramatic declines for heart disease and stroke. If current trends continue, cancer is expected to be the leading cause of death in the United States by 2010. What is most disconcerting is that this would not have to be the case if only we put into practice what we already know about the prevention and early detection of cancer. With this as the challenge, Dr. Alberto Manetta presents Cancer Prevention and Early Diagnosis in Women in order to "furnish health care providers with the information needed for the assessment of risk, prevention, and early diagnosis of cancer in women." He has brought together 17 authors with expertise in the etiology, prevention, and early detection of cancer.
