(4) YA Diseases and People series. Question-and-answer "Profiles" precede chapters detailing the history, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and future research of each disorder. Case histories add variety to the facts, but the black-and-white photographs are dull, often misplaced and not always adequately labeled. The thin material in Carpal Tunnel results in a particularly repetitious book. Bib., glos., ind.

(3) YA Diseases and People series. A "profile" of each disorder introduces chapters describing the history, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and possible future treatments/cures. Fictional case histories and true anecdotes add interest. Black-and-white photos and information boxes are included. The emphasis on leading a healthy lifestyle in 'Heart Disease' is repetitious. Individual disease time lines and a list of resources are appended. Bib., glos., ind.
