In der Prävention und Behandlung von chronischen Krankheiten und Zivilisationskrankheiten kommt der Ernährung eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Die Autoren haben über viele Jahre auf der Basis chinesischer Quellen geforscht und Behandlungskonzepte sowie Rezepturen entwickelt, die geeignet sind, die Therapie westlicher Patienten diätetisch zu unterstützen. Anders als das "Praxishandbuch chinesische Diätetik" (Siedentopp), das einen integrativen Ansatz verfolgt, bleibt der Titel in der chinesischen Diätetik mit dem Blick auf der Anwendung im westen. Anders als das Praxisbuch Nahrungsmittel und Chinesische Medizin (Blarer-Zalokar), das nur die Funktionskreise und die Eigenschaften der Nahrungsmittel beleuchtet, bietet der Leitfaden einen hohen Praxiswert mit Kurzdarstellungen der wichtigsten Nahrungsmittel, erprobten Rezepten, Differenzierung westlicher Krankheitsbilder in chinesische Muster und eine vergleichende Betrachtung der chinesischen und der westlichen Ernährungslehre. Das Lehrbuch dazu fokussiert sich auf die Theorie und die ursprüngliche chinesische Anwendung.

Diagnostic Ultrasound: Musculoskeletal 3e provides an updated, comprehensive content set for diagnostic ultrasound imaging with a focus on ultrasound in 5 sections across almost 1,000 pages. Groups of chapters focus on Anatomy, Ultrasound Techniques, Diagnoses and Differential Diagnoses, and Interventional Procedures with the bulk of the content focused on anatomy and diagnoses of the musculoskeletal (MSK) systems. MSK ultrasound is a rapidly expanding field among radiologists, sports physicians, general practitioners, orthopedic and general surgeons, and neurologists.

Since the 2e of Diagnostic Ultrasound: MSK published in 2018, ultrasonographers are much surer of the benefits and limitations of MSK ultrasound across the wide range of application which is driving the expanded use of MSK ultrasound.
