Classifications and Scores of the Shoulder by Peter Habermeyer

This is the first single reference of classifications and scores of the shoulder. It gives a clearly structured, well-defined compendium of classifications and scores of the shoulder for use in everyday clinical life to improve and simplify the communication between physicians and physiotherapists. It is the first single reference of classifications and scores of the shoulder. The book is for orthopedic and trauma surgeons, radiologists, and physiotherapists.

Cellulite Pathophysiology and Treatment

It is estimated that 80 percent of women have some degree of cellulite. Although there are no permanent solutions for cellulite, dermatologists recognize that this is an issue of importance for many women. This guide reviews current research on the pathophysiology and treatment of cellulite, as well as the many recent developments in medical therapy, liposculpture, and pharmacy to combat the appearance of cellulite in the female figure.

Handbook of Pathophysiology

As in both of the previous editions of the Handbook of Pathophysiology, this edition is based on the premise that understanding physiology—how the body works—is essential to understanding pathophysiology—what happens when things go wrong. My goal in writing this text was and is to provide a clear, accurate, and understandable description of health and disease. It is meant to be succinct and readable and to be useful to students and practitioners at a variety of levels. Throughout this text I have tried to share with readers the wonder and respect for the human body that I have enjoyed since the day I walked into my first physiology course as an undergraduate student. The more I learn about health and disease, the more convinced I am that when well, our bodies function magnificently, and when besieged by illness, gallantly and ferociously. I appreciate the teachers—and the patients—I have had throughout my education and career who have helped me learn this life lesson.

As a physiologist and a nurse, I have taught physiology and pathophysiology to many different groups of undergraduate and graduate students, including nursing and nurse practitioner students, physical therapy students, biology students, physiology and bioengineering graduate students, and medical students. I believe this text can be used as a reference and a resource for learners at all these levels. For health care providers working with patients, and for students in the classroom, this text will keep you informed, answer your questions, and—I hope—stimulate your desire to know more.

Field Guide to Bedside Diagnosis 2nd ed

Preface to the Second Edition

In preparing the second edition, I have been mindful of the increasing interest in evidence-based medicine. The major update, therefore, has been to add tables of evidence-based test characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio) for selected items in the history and physical examination. This book contains the most comprehensive compilation of EBM physical diagnosis data available to date. I have utilized state-of-the-art data sources such as the JAMA Rational Clinical Examination series; Straus, Hsu, Ball, and Phillips' Evidence-Based Acute Medicine; and McGee's Evidence-Based Physical Diagnosis, in addition to my own extensive literature files. Diagnostic hypotheses arising from these observations form the basis for accurate application and interpretation of diagnostic technology. Testing and treatment—as well as citations of literature sources—remain beyond the scope of this book.

While I have retained the user-friendly format of the first edition, a second area of substantial enhancement and revision has been the diagnostic approach section of most chapters, to strengthen the high-altitude view of how to begin to approach the differential. Finally, the diagnostic images section has been completely revised. Images have been selected to best illustrate clinical phenomenon, and to favor visible manifestations of systemic diseases and more serious diagnoses over self-limited dermatologic conditions. Of the 192 images in this book, 84 are new to this edition. They have been arranged by organ system and by diagnoses to parallel the text and to make locating images more intuitive.

The aim of this book remains to be compact, colorful, aesthetic, and useful.

Field Guide to Bedside Diagnosis 2nd ed

CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment Obstetrics & Gynecology, Tenth Edition

Contained within the text is a thorough review of all of obstetrics and gynecology, including medical advances up to the time of publication. More than 1000 diseases and disorders are included. A continued emphasis on disease prevention and evidence-based medicine remains paramount. In addition to diagnosis and treatment of disease, pathophysiology is a major area of focus. The concise format facilitates quick access.

A new and improved layout will certainly be appreciated, with more than 500 anatomic drawings, imaging studies, and diagrams as part of the basic text.

Medical students will find CDTOG to be an authoritative introduction to the specialty and an excellent source for reference and review. House officers will welcome the concise practical information for commonly encountered health problems. Practicing obstetricians and gynecologists, family physicians, internists, nurse practitioners nurse midwives, physician assistants, and other healthcare providers whose practice includes women's health can use the book to answer questions that arise in the daily practice of obstetrics and gynecology.

Case Files - Internal Medicine 2nd ed

Case Files: Internal Medicine, 2e presents sixty clinical cases illustrating key points. Each case includes an extended discussion, definition of terms, clinical pearls, and USMLE format review questions. This interactive learning system is proven to improve shelf-exam scores and helps students to learn in the context of real patients instead of simply memorizing.

Review:

Internal Medicine

Great book for medicine. This book helps you to apply medicine. It takes you through cases and not only questions you on what the diag. is, approiate treatment / test / medication regimen etc. but explains why the answer is what it is.

Review:

Case Files in Internal Medicine

All of the books in this series have been fantastic. Highly readable. Great for board review, or just to keep your mind sharp.

Review:

Excellent for clerkships and the shelf

Great book! Really covered the minute details one needs to have a handle of at the hand of the IM clerkship. Very useful for boards and easy to read format. Only drawback is that sometimes the title of the case doesn't really explain all the info that will be packed into the case. I definitely recommend reading it early in the rotation and reading it well!

Review:

Good Supplement for Internal Med

Case Files is well made and good at what it covers. The format is very readable, giving you a scenario and making you think of a diagnosis and plan. It's much better than skimming a heavy albeit more complete text. That said, while 60 case scenarios are a lot, it can't hit everything, and it's important to have a wide base of knowledge for the Internal Med Clerkship. I read this after reading First Aid for Internal Med a few times, and while I picked up a couple of things that I had little clue about, it mainly reinforced what was in that book. I would recommend Case Files for people who 1) like the scenario format and can't stand outlines/bullets/texts 2) are close to taking the shelf exam and want an indication as to how questions might be constructed. MKSAP, however, is probably the closest to the exam you can get. Once again, this is a great supplement, but I would not use this as a primary / singular source.
