Rosenstock L., Cullen M., Brodkin C., Redlich C. Textbook of clinical occupational and environmental medicine

2nd Edition. — Saunders, 2004. — 1338 p. — ISBN: 978-0-72168-974-6.The Textbook of Clinical Occupational and Environmental Medicine was originally conceived and written to address the needs of students, trainees and clinicians, as a resource to integrate occupational and environmental medicine into routine clinical practice. We found the response to the first edition extremely rewarding — the text was critically acclaimed and sustained broad national and international distribution. It enjoyed use by many working in different capacities in the occupational and environmental field, not merely clinicians.
In the decade since publication of the first edition, although many of the challenges in diagnosis, treatment and prevention remain, much in the world of occupational and environmental medicine has changed. Workers and others in the United States and abroad face new and emerging threats due to dramatic changes in globalization, technology and demographics. Even the merger of the two components, occupational and environmental — which a decade ago was still being questioned — is now all but taken for granted.
Comprehensive and meticulously updated throughout, this new edition makes it easy to detect, diagnose, and treat the full spectrum of problems caused by occupational or environmental factors, including physical, chemical, and biologic agents. An international cast of experts offers in-depth, authoritative guidance on clinical problems as well as the legal and regulatory issues impacting the practice of occupational and environmental medicine today. And, a user-friendly chapter layout and organization makes reference a snap.Key FeaturesFeatures the expertise of world leaders in the field.
Presents detailed practice guidelines that provide clear direction in clinical situations.
Offers important clues in history, physical examination, and laboratory test results to assist in accurate diagnoses.
Uses an organization by body system — subdivided by disease — for easy reference.Contributors.
