Description
This pocket-sized manual presents a series of topics in obstetrics and gynaecology that may be encountered on a day to day basis in clinical practice. Divided into two sections, the book consists of five chapters for obstetrics and ten chapters for gynaecology. Each topic is presented in a template format broken down into headings – introduction, etiology, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, management, complications and clinical advice. The book includes more than 400 colour photographs, line diagrams and flow charts, and is an invaluable revision aid for students, as well as a useful quick reference guide for practitioners.
Reviews
The new edition of Snell’s Clinical Anatomy-An Illustrated Review with Questions and Explanations provides the perfect accompaniment for its parent text-Clinical Anatomy for Medical Students. The book is based on the format of the progenitor text but is essentially a condensed version of the latter. As such, it is particularly suitable for those readers (medical, dental, allied health science students) who require an easy-to-use quick reference review of basic clinical anatomy which is ideal for exam preparation purposes, or as a stand alone text for first-time students embarking on a clinical anatomy course. One of the most impressive features of Snell’s Illustrated Review is the widespread utilisation of detailed tables and figures which enhance the memorisation of anatomical facts and simplify the learning process. Undoubtedly, many students struggle to assimilate the elaborate and at times seemingly inexhaustive amount of information commonly encountered in anatomy lectures – particularly the complex intricacies of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. However, Snell’s text manages to present concise yet thorough descriptions of muscles and their origins, insertions, nerve supplies and actions, as well as nicely summarising cranial nerves and the branches of the various plexi and their distributions in a highly accessible manner. Each chapter concludes with an extensive bank of National Board type questions which come complete with both answers and explanation which facilitate test-taking skills and enhance critical thinking. Current diagnostic imaging techniques (radiographs, CT scans, MRIs and sonograms) are also included to demonstrate anatomy as it is often viewed from a clinical perspective. In summary, Clinical Anatomy – An Illustrated Review with Questions and Explanations is an impressive streamlined yet comprehensive anatomical reference which may be used as a high-yield refresher/revision tool in its own right or as a companion resourse to the highly successful parent book, Clinical Anatomy for Medical Students.
