Hyperthermic And Hypermetabolic Disorders by Philip M. Hopkins, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This authoritative and comprehensive new publication looks in depth at a range of medical syndromes characterized by serious and unpredicted internal overheating of the body. As a result of heat stress, exceptional physical exertion, or in response to certain drugs, these episodes may arise suddenly and unexpectedly, with life-threatening consequences. This text's contributions focus on the full range of these syndromes, their metabolic and physiological bases, the important predisposing factors that determine those at risk, and the medical management of these conditions. The volume incorporates a wealth of information from the Leeds Malignant Hyperthermia Investigation Unit-the world's leading center of research and investigation in this area. | Hyperthermic And Hypermetabolic Disorders by Philip M.
