Lab Values: First Edition

The second edition is available for purchase with more content and updates. To find it right away, type in: Lab Values Second Edition in the search field. Make sure the publisher is Medical Creations.

Let's be very clear about this, the best way to start studying a new topic is to learn the basic fundamentals first before you dive into the details. That way, you will not get overwhelmed because you will understand the bigger picture first. The problem with many medical books is that they are overly detailed and therefore bad in painting the bigger picture. Our Lab Values book solves this problem by making you learn the basic fundamentals first before you dive into the details with other, more detailed, medical books.

This book serves two purposes; It's a great introduction for those that want a simple overview, and it's also great for students looking for a quick recap that covers the most important information. How do you best prepare for an exam? If you don't have the time, you just recap the fundamentals.

To test your knowledge, we have included multiple choice questions after each chapter. The answers to these questions can be found at the very end.

Let's face it, the skill of being able to interpret laboratory investigations and to understand the science behind it is extremely important in the field of medicine.

It is said that approximately 60-70% of decision making in medicine is done based on the results of laboratory tests. Laboratory values essentially provide data in an objective form that relates to the patient's health. They can aid in early diagnosis of diseases that have not yet had clinical manifestations, thereby leading to more effective management of such conditions. They can also aid in monitoring the progress of various diseases so that treatment can be modified accordingly.
Insufficient understanding of laboratory tests in a clinical setting can lead to misinterpretation of results, which will jeopardize patient safety.

With this book you will:

• ..Get an in-depth understanding of how the physiology of our bodies work
• ..Be able to objectively measure your patient's health
• ..Use your new skills every single day at work

From the author:

I underwent jaw surgery and woke up with my jaws wired shut. I was so unprepared This book has been written to help you on your journey as you are healing after jaw surgery. You may be on a liquid diet and maybe you are not. This book does assume that you are probably on some kind of special diet and offers numerous suggestions for foods that help heal after surgery.

Both before and after jaw surgery, I tried to find information about living on a soft food and/or liquid diet. I was unable to find very little information on jaw surgery recovery, so I had to play it by ear. I was completely ignorant of all the physical, psychological and emotional changes that would be involved.

This book is easy-to-read and straight-forward. It will give you lots of helpful inside information in a relatively short period of reading time. It is information that you will want to know to help prepare you for what comes during your jaw surgery recovery time. There are many things that would have been so helpful had I known them before-hand. I want to prevent this from happening to you. You do not need to learn everything the hard way about your jaw surgery recovery, as I had to. Being prepared really is half the battle. I have been there and I can help

Best to you

The second of a multi-volume set takes into account the deficit of experience and knowledge gained from 3D preoperative planning and postoperative control using new radiological protocols in surgical procedures, with corresponding consequences. It contrasts the established standard techniques of orthognathic oral and maxillofacial surgery with alternatives that are based on years of experience and knowledge gained from better radiological analysis. Orthopaedic oral and maxillofacial surgery has experienced a renaissance in recent years, primarily due to three-dimensional radiological imaging.

The book has deliberately been structured in such a way that the clinical situation is contrasted with a graphic representation for better understanding, which is intended to point out special situations that can in turn positively influence the surgical planning of the intervention in order to avoid undesirable results in the individual case. The book will have a reduced text part, but witha lot of illustrations, in order to show the surgeon, who works image-oriented, the logic of the surgical procedure in a simple and clear way. The graphic illustrations will illustrate the three-dimensionality of the complex anatomy in the midface region close to the orbits and the skull base. Illustrations must help where radiological images fall short. The structure of the book will nevertheless be classic, as the variations of the established techniques can only be understood on the basis of historical development.
A corresponding textbook that combines clinical situations with pre- and postoperative radiological evaluation and graphic explanation does not exist to date. It will appeal to a broad readership of students and professionals working within Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Orthodontics, Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery, and Otorhinolaryngology.
