Conversations between AIDS counselors and their clients bring delicate and potentially threatening issues into play. In this study Anssi Per kyl applies the principles of conversation analysis to his exploration of AIDS counseling, using data from video-recorded counseling sessions in a London teaching hospital, and analyzes the design and placement of questions in these situations.

Doody's : "The book covers most of the female-related health problems that are encountered in the primary care provider's office, but it does not cover the common obstetric care issues. The best things about this book are its up-to-date content and its easy to read style. The subjects are well chosen, too. This update was especially needed because of the changes since 1996, particularly in the field of HRT. I would highly recommend this to all primary care providers. It covers most of the common health problems we see in the care of women and the information is easy to understand can be absorbed in a short time. The cost of the book also impresses me - it is worth the price." "5 Stars!"

This fascinating book comprises the autobiographical reminiscences and reflections of Monto Ho, M.D., a Chinese-born, American physician and widely recognized infectious disease specialist. It presents a remarkable opportunity to understand his personal history, the development of his scholarly qualities, and the logic of his scientific and cultural passions. A leader in the field over the past half a century, the author was a pioneer investigator of interferon. He made major contributions to the pathogenesis of virus infections in the immunocompromised host, especially of cytomegalovirus and other herpesvirus infections in organ transplant recipients. He built a strong science-based infectious diseases group at the University of Pittsburgh in the US. In his "second career" in Taiwan, Monto Ho changed the direction of his research to address problems that were important to that country. He recognized the threat posed by the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the need to enhance the q

This is an excellent text of dermatopathology. The illustrations alone are immensely valuable and are about the best available. I have found this book useful, but usually have used it in conjunction with Weedon's Skin Pathology, 2nd edition (Elsevier, 2002). This new edition is completely justified as it has added new entities, new sections, and has reorganized the existing sections. CDs are also included with each volume. This book is written for the practitioners of dermatopathology, general pathology, and dermatology. Fellows and residents in these fields would also find the book helpful. The purpose was to completely rewrite the second edition to include new entities and chapters discussing hair follicle, nail, external genital, and oral mucosa pathology. An additional section covers adverse drug reactions. These are worthy objectives as the added sections have become more important and must be evaluated by dermatopathologists. The book meets the author's objectives.

This book addresses the role of mechanical factors in the development, adaptation, maintenance, aging, and repair of skeletal tissues such as bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. The authors show how the normal develoment of skeletal tissues is influenced by mechanical stimulation beginning in the embryo and continuing throughout life into old age. They also show how degenerative disorders such as arthritis and osteoporosis are regulated by the same mechanical processes that influence development and growth. Skeletal Function and Form bridges important gaps among disciplines and will appeal to a wide audience of bioengineers, zoologists, anthropologists, paleontologists, and orthopedists.
