Sickle Cell Pain books, Reviews in detail the history of sickle cell pain--its hematology, pathophysiology, and classification. After two chapters considering the historical perspective and the hematology of sickle cell pain, coverage includes various pain syndromes--acute, regional, and chronic, as well as both pharmacologic and alternative therapies. Among the associated issues discussed are the "difficult" patient, patients' rights and responsibilities, neglect by the medical profession, and lack of awareness in the ivory tower. The author emphasizes the significant role of pain in the life of patients with sickle disease and encourages investigators to conduct more basic and clinical research on sickle cell pain. The price is $56.55 for IASP members. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
