Stanley Feldman

Professor Stanley Feldman decided to write his memoirs when, in 2008, he was pronounced dead. Fortunately, however, this was not by one of his fellow doctors but instead by an Australian medical journal - prompting much shock the next time he visited his friends down under! He has been a doctor with the NHS for over 60 years now, and has presided over the transition of medicine into the modern world. His career has seen both the sublime and the ridiculous; Stanley has worked with some of the greatest doctors in the world on pioneering new heart surgeries that have changed medicine forever - and he has been the guinea pig for experiments that have ended in temporary paralysis! Stanley's career is a microcosm of the developments of the medical system in the UK over the last 60 years - from the birth of the NHS onwards - and he has obtained many hilarious anecdotes along the way, all of which can be found in Confessions of a Doctor

The authors provide a systematic treatment of the major problems involved in using regression analysis. They clearly and concisely discuss the consequences of violating the assumptions of the regression model, procedures for detecting violations, and strategies for dealing with these problems.

Few chemical compounds created by man have caused greater controversy than organophosphates. Conceived as insecticides, they have also been developed to become the most feared of chemical weapons. The control of vectors of diseases from which millions die or are disabled is heavily dependent on organophosphates, as are efforts to maintain food production in the face of uncontrolled population growth, diminishing arable land and the possibility of global warming. As the toxicity of organophosphates is non-specific, it has caused ill health and death in man, and has contributed to adverse ecological effects. This book, written by recognised experts, studies and presents information in a manner that basic scientists, medical personnel, environmentalists, agriculturists and those in public health and occupational medicine will find essential when considering the use of organophosphates in their disciplines. The text primarily covers health aspects, with discussions on related social, economic, environmental and agricultural issues that concern all inhabitants of the global village. Contents:Organophosphates: History, Chemistry, Pharmacology (T C Marrs)Socio-Economics, Health Issues and Pesticides (L Karalliedde & T Meredith)Factors Influencing Organophosphate Toxicity in Humans (P Edwards)Organophosphorus Chemical Warfare Agents (T C Marrs & R L Maynard)The Acute Cholinergic Syndrome (L Karalliedde & J Henry)The Intermediate Syndrome (J L de Bleeker)Organophosphoros-Induced Delayed Polyneuropathy (N Senanayake)The Effects of Organophosphates on Neuropsychiatric and Psychological Functioning (M Lader)Effects of Organophosphates on the Neuromuscular Junction and Muscle (S Feldman)Organophosphates and the Cardiovascular System (A M Saadeh)Gulf War Syndrome, Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance and Organophosphate Compounds: Diseases in Search of Causal Hypothesis (J Brent & L Klein)Management of Organophosphorus Compound Poisoning (L Karalliedde & L Szinicz)Carcinogenicity and Mutagenicity of Organophosphates (M D Waters et al.)Organophosphorus Agents and the Environment (E F Hill)Biochemical and Toxicological Investigations Related to OP Compounds (R Swaminathan & B Widdop)Monitoring Occupational Exposures to Organophosphorus Compounds (A Moretto & M Lotti)The Global Picture of Organophosphate Insecticide Poisoning (L Karalliedde et al.) Readership: Agriculturists, veterinary scientists, intensivists, general physicians, environmental scientists, scientists involved in chemical warfare and defence establishments, preventive medicine specialists, tropical medicine physicians, graduate students in toxicology, public health, tropical medicine and related fields.

Organophosphates and Health

Stanley Feldman, Dr

Berry and Feldman provide a systematic treatment of many of the major problems encountered in using regression analysis. Since it is likely that the assumptions of the regression model will be violated in empirical analysis, the ability to know when problems exist and when to take appropriate action ensures the proper use of the procedure.

This book has been written to help candidates sitting their professional examination in anaesthesia in order that they may have at their disposal the detailed anatomical knowledge necessary for the day to day practice of anaesthesia. Unlike a textbook of anatomy, which must cover all parts of the body with equally exhaustive thoroughness, this book concentrates particularly on areas of special relevance to anaesthesia and points out features of practical importance to anaesthetic technique. The text is divided into nine sections; the respiratory pathway, the heart, the vertebral canal, the peripheral nerves; The Autonomic Nervous System; The Cranial Nerves; The Orbit and its contents; The Anatomy of Pain and Zones of Anaesthetic Interest. The eighth edition has fully expanded and updated text; and includes new and improved illustrations.
