Description
The revised second edition of Essentials of Gastroenterology provides a highly practical and concise guide to gastroenterology. The text covers every major disorder likely to be encountered during both GI training and in clinical practice. It also offers a handbook for preparing for Board examinations (e.g., USMLE and Internal Medicine Board examinations) as well as a handy clinical consultation tool. Fully updated to reflect the latest scientific information and practice guidelines, each section of the book covers a specific area of the gastroenterology tract and follows a standard outline: general information, normal physiology, etiology and pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, complications, prognosis, and treatment.
Reviews
This looks like an excellent book for studying the skeletal system and common dysfunctions. It is recommended reading for prosthetic orthotic students at EMU, and it is a bit surprising to me. I think it is written for radiologists or orthopedic surgeons. but i am reading it anyway. (Follow up 12-29-13) This was definitely an excellent book even for O&P, contains the best films of normal and pathological skeletal/joint anatomy in CT, MRI, Xray I have ever seen. This book is definitely for med school students; It is advanced and assumes the reader knows a great deal about medicine, and if you don’t you will have trouble. I had to buy a medical dictionary app on my I pad to go along with reading this and Im not new to studying skeletons. I am keeping this book for future reference because there is an enormous amount of information, which is guaranteed to slip my memory. The best part is the book describes both verbally and VISUALLY and so well organized. I would summarize this book as a radiologists perspective on skeletal structure, function, pathologies starting with bone, and connective tissue structure, development, disease, loading and deformation, THere is a great deal of musculoskeletal pathology discussed including joint injuries, surgeries, several arthritic conditions, cancer osteosarcomas lymphomas etc, THe pictures help and a med dictionary compliments also, but this is one of my favorites, obviously.
