A detailed practical guide to clinical examination, covering general assessment techniques (pulse, BP, respiratory rate), and focused regional examinations for cardiology (including heart diseases and investigations) and chest/pulmonary systems (inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation).
A comprehensive guide providing an evidence-based approach to gathering and interpreting the patient history to aid clinicians in developing an accurate differential diagnosis.
A clinical guide detailing how to take a comprehensive patient history for major symptoms across various medical specialties, including cardiology, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and endocrinology, often listing associated differential diagnoses for symptoms like chest pain and dyspnea.
A concise study guide designed for candidates preparing for the PACES examination. It provides 'brain maps' and structured approaches for clinical stations, focusing primarily on abdominal (CLD, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly) and thoracic medicine cases, and detailed organization of the exam format.
A comprehensive analysis of prostate ultrasound, covering current practices, established methodologies, and future technological directions and applications in urologic imaging.
Revised selected papers from the BrainLes 2022 workshop, focusing on computational methods and medical imaging applied to the diagnosis and analysis of major brain pathologies including glioma, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and traumatic brain injuries. Published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
The Second Edition of The Paris System (TPS) provides standardized guidelines and a comprehensive classification system for reporting urinary cytology, establishing clear diagnostic categories for use by pathologists and cytotechnologists.
The authoritative and comprehensive clinical medicine reference. It covers the essential scientific principles of medicine and provides detailed clinical guidance on managing common and complex diseases across all organ systems, serving as the benchmark text for students and practitioners.
This book details the genetic and developmental etiology of scoliosis, including congenital, neuromuscular, and idiopathic forms. It incorporates recent advances derived from developmental genetic studies of the spine and next-generation sequencing-based genetic analysis, leading to a better understanding of the condition's etiology.
This book is a concise but comprehensive guide for understanding the basic principles of occlusion and esthetics that are necessary to perfect wax-ups on mounted casts. The author defines important occlusal terminology and describes tooth morphology with a focus on how these features affect function. The esthetic principles that affect smile design and are important for achieving harmony are also discussed. The second half provides an overview of the waxing armamentarium and step-by-step waxing instructions for maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth in occlusion as well as esthetic wax-ups.
A detailed analysis of eyelid structure and pathology, focusing on structural/malposition disorders like entropion and ectropion. It explores the bilamellar concept, the role of horizontal and vertical forces (tarsoligamentous sling, retractors, protractors), crucial anatomical landmarks (grey line, marginal arcades, capsulopalpebral head), and specific diagnostic signs for lower lid retractor disinsertion.
A comprehensive text covering the essential biological foundations and clinical pathobiology of liver function in health and disease, bridging basic science with clinical hepatology.
