Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Hyponatremia and 40 Years of Controversy: Looking Back and Moving Forward traces and probes the prolonged, contentious debate surrounding the treatment of sever hyponatremia, a low-sodium concentration in the blood that can result in severe brain damage if managed incorrectly.
A mix of memoir and science, the book explains how slow correction of hyponatremia became accepted and how consensus was disrupted by assertions that caution was unnecessary and harmful. It scrutinizes the controversy, offers an approach to management, and unpacks research limitations - reminding us that what is believed true today may change tomorrow.
Hyponatremia and 40 Years of Controversy: Looking Back and Moving Forward is a vital resource for both experienced medical specialists and novice trainees. It explains the physiology of how hyponatremia happens and how it hurts. By offering historical insights, scientific rigor, and practical guidance, this book promises to enhance clinical decision making, foster new research, and improve outcomes in patients with hyponatremia.
- Offers detailed yet accessible scientific explanations, making complex medical concepts understandable to nonscientific readers
- Explores in-depth historical background covering the factors that have influenced and sustained the controversy, allowing readers to understand why disagreements persist.
- Contains a practical toolbox with helpful tips on how to successfully manage hyponatremia
