This text on clinical medicine has been updated to aid learning and revision. Topics covered include genetic, climatic and environmental factors in disease, and endocrine and metabolic diseases, whilst a new chapter on geriatric medicine has also been included.

In their book, editors Bryden and Temple1 present an excellent review of the most common types of cases seen in the intensive care unit (ICU). The reviewed topics are relevant for physicians taking care of patients in the neuro-ICU, surgical ICU, trauma ICU, and medical ICU. It provides an excellent overview of critical illnesses and is recommended for students, residents, and fellows preparing for exams, as well as practicing intensivists who wish to revisit these topics.

This book is intended solely as a work of reference on the history and possible future of medicine.

Textbook “Latin and Fundamentals of Medical Terminology” is designed to be a comprehensive textbook covering the entire curriculum for medical students in this subject. The course “Latin and Fundamentals of Medical Terminology” is a two-semester course that introduces students to the Latin and Greek medical terms that are commonly used in Medicine. The aim of the two-semester course is to achieve an active command of basic grammatical phenomena and rules with a special stress on the system of the language and on the specific character of medical terminology, and that to the extent that enables an active use of Latin and Greek medical terms and promote further own work with them.

The thirteenth edition of Atlas of Histology with Functional Correlations (formerly diFiore’s Atlas of Histology with Functional Correlations) continues to provide a colorful and expanded atlas of histologic images for medical, veterinary, dentistry, and pathology as well as students of the biological sciences. As in previous editions, numerous comments from reviewers were helpful in suggesting improvement to the text and images of the atlas. Keeping these suggestions in mind, the composite and colorful illustrations of cells, tissues, and organs that made this atlas popular are maintained in the thirteenth edition. In addition, numerous photomicrographs were added throughout. While most of the images were prepared with light microscopy, other images with transmission and scanning microscopy are also included where it was necessary to show more precise and detailed morphology of different structures not visible with light microscopy. The rapid advance in scientific research continues to produce volumes of new information that further our understanding of fundamental biological functions of cells as well as their subcellular and molecular components. Thus, in our contemporary era, the study of histology requires more than the recognition and identification of structural characteristics in different organs but also learning and understanding their diverse dynamics and functional correlations that maintain the homeostasis of living organisms.
