Although the surface electrocardiogram (EKG) was invented in 1903, it continues to be today, more than a century later, an essential tool used by clinicians for the detection and diagnosis of numerous cardiac conditions. Because of its high importance in the clinical management of many patients across vast areas of medical and surgical specialties, it is not too surprising that the medical community has invested, over many decades, a lot of time, effort, and resources into training physicians, nurses, and other allied professionals on how to obtain, troubleshoot, and interpret EKGs. Like most tasks in life, learning how to read EKGs requires time and practice, eventually allowing the expert reader to rely more on pattern recognition to spot abnormalities and make a diagnosis rather than on a step-by-step, systematic reading. With of all these considerations in mind, we have compiled over many years, 106 relevant EKGs that cover most topics of interest (arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, electrolyte imbalances, etc.), providing a clinical vignette for each case, a succinct interpretation of the findings, a mechanistic explanation of these findings, and often offering insight into possible treatment options. From the outset and throughout the process of putting together this book, we have kept in mind the needs and desires of our potential readers, who include medical students, residents in internal medicine or anesthesia, general cardiology and electrophysiology fellows, as well as registered nurses, EKG technicians, and other allied professional, such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Our ultimate goal with this book is to give current and future health professionals a tool that will provide them with the know-how and confidence to hold an EKG tracing in their hand, troubleshoot it, read it, and move on to delivering high-level care to patients. Academic life in medicine stands on three essential pillars: (1) We strive to improve patient outcomes through sound clinical care; (2) We advance knowledge through innovative research; and (3) We perpetuate knowledge through tireless and consistent teaching and training. This book is our small contribution to this third and most important pillar of academic medicine.

Having a premature baby -- a baby born before the thirty-seventh week of pregnancy -- can be a crash course in both medicine and health economics, not just in parenting. Parents face complex information, difficult decisions, and overwhelming grief and worry -- with challenges that often extend well beyond those early days and weeks. As an ob/gyn, Dr. Jennifer Gunter has delivered hundreds of premature babies, but as a mother of preemie triplets, she also understands the heartbreak and challenges of prematurity. The Preemie Primer is a comprehensive resource, covering topics from delivery, hospitalization, and preemie development to parenting multiples, handling health issues, and finding special-needs programs. Compassionate, engaging, and medically grounded, The Preemie Primer is the first book on prematurity to combine the insight of a doctor with the experience of a mom.

Each chapter is easily digestible and begins with a bulleted list of key points.
This book presents a broad yet focused treatment of central topics in the field of clinical neurophysiology. The volume was inspired by the clinical neurophysiology lecture series at Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center and Rhode Island Hospital. Much like the lecture series, this book is designed to acquaint trainees with the essential elements of clinical neurophysiology. Each chapter is written by leading and respected clinical neurophysiologists.
