Osteoporosis / Robert Marcus / Amsterdam : Elsevier/Academic Press (2008)
Osteoporosis : Volume 1 [printed text] / Robert Marcus, Author ; David Feldman, Author ; Dorothy Nelson, Author ; Clifford J. Rosen, Author . - 3rd Edition . - Amsterdam : Elsevier/Academic Press, 2008 . - 972 p. : ill. ; 27 cm.
ISBN : 978-0-12-370545-7 : 312,95 €
Now in its third edition, Osteoporosis, is the most comprehensive, authoritative reference on this disease. Written by renowned experts in the field, this two-volume reference is a must-have for academic and medical libraries, physicians, researchers, and any company involved in osteoporosis research and development. Worldwide, 200 million women between 60-80 suffer from osteoporosis and have a lifetime risk of fracture between 30 and 40 percent continuing to make osteoporosis a hot topic in medicine. This newest edition covers everything from basic anatomy and physiology to diagnosis, management and treatment in a field where direct care costs for osteoporitic fractures in the U.S. reach up to $18 billion each year.
