This Student Workbook is the perfect companion to the AAMT Book of Style, the recognized authority on medical transcription styles, forms, and practices. Organized logically by topic, the workbook helps students learn and memorize the AAMT Book of Style guidelines and standards, offers clear instructions for applying the guidelines and standards on the job, and provides opportunities for review, self-assessment, and in-class testing. It is the only training manual developed by AAMT and focused specifically on AAMT guidelines and standards. A bonus CD-ROM features dictation exercises and review questions, enabling readers to practice and assess their skills.

Long known as "the gold standard" for medical transcriptionists, The AAMT Book of Style for Medical Transcription addresses points of grammar, punctuation, style, usage, editing, and much more. This new, improved Second Edition includes a comprehensive index prepared by a professional indexer. Style points have been reworked and enhanced, examples have been augmented for added clarity, practical hints have been placed in the margins, and points of grammar, punctuation, and usage are identified. The book is wider so that it lies flat when open and the type style and format are easier on the eye. A CD-ROM (.pdf) version is included with the book at no extra cost.

"Unlike other textbooks that discuss medical concepts in complex and abstract terms, this book outlines the fundamentals of medical specialties in a format that is easy to understand"--Provided by publisher.

AAMT Book of Style, Second Edition, Electronic provides medical language professionals with hands-on access to the content in the Book of Style manual.

Several general principles have emerged from the study of human transcription factors. First, germline mutations in genes encoding transcription factors result in malformation syndromes in which the development of multiple body structures is affected. Second, somatic mutations involving many of the same genes contribute to tumorigenesis. Third, transcriptional regulatory mechanisms demonstrate remarkable evolutionary conservation. Fourth, prenatal development and postnatal physiology are unified by the demonstration that a single transription factor can control the proliferation of progenitor cells during development and the expression within the differentiated cells of gene products that participate in specific physiologic responses. Transcription Factors and Human Disease presents the basic science of transcriptional regulation and then describes inherited human diseases attributable to mutations in DNA sequences encoding transcription factors or their cognate binding sites. The involvement of transcription factors in somatic cell genetic diseases (cancer) and epigenetic disease (teratogenesis) is briefly discussed. The effect of specific mutations on transcription factor activity and the relationship between transcriptional dysregulation, dominant or recessive inheritance patterns, and disease pathogenesis are also explored. This book thus provides a direct connection between molecular defects in transcriptional regulation and human pathophysiology.
