The book "Laser Application to Occlusive Vascular Disease" edited by Michael W. Berns and Mahmood Mirhoseini, provides a comprehensive overview of laser applications in treating occlusive vascular diseases. The content, reprinted from the journal "Lasers in Surgery and Medicine," covers technical considerations, laser-tissue interactions, and experimental models. While detailed for serious researchers, it serves as a valuable reference for those interested in laser therapy for vascular conditions. The book is well-edited and includes high-quality figures, making it a useful addition to medical libraries. "Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics" is a renowned pharmacology reference book, now in its seventh edition. It remains comprehensive and accessible, covering basic pharmacological principles and their applications. New chapters and sections have been added to reflect recent advancements, such as calcium channel blockers and hyperlipoproteinemias. The book is praised for its clear style and detailed coverage, making it an indispensable resource for researchers and clinicians. However, it is noted to be too extensive for primary use in medical school courses. "Intensive Therapy" by Gillian C. Hanson, H.E.R. Chew, and C.S. Waldmann is a concise guide for managing medical emergencies in intensive care units and emergency rooms. Divided into four chapters, it covers drug therapy, organ failure, shock, and specific problems like temperature changes, metabolic disorders, and poisoning. Each chapter includes brief discussions and tables for quick reference, making it a practical tool for clinicians.The book "Laser Application to Occlusive Vascular Disease" edited by Michael W.
