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.
This book provides a detailed exploration of fascia, defining it as a living tissue and system. It examines its structural role through tensegrity, its microscopic components, anatomical connections (including the fasciomusculoskeletal system and myodural bridge), and its crucial relationship with the nervous system (mechanoreceptors, interoception) and the brain, as well as its connection to the organs.
This volume is a compilation of clinical images, radiographs, and detailed case presentations focused on diagnosing and understanding various pediatric conditions. Topics covered span multiple systems, including respiratory findings (Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia), gastrointestinal issues (Tracheoesophageal Fistula, Sialolithiasis), neurological disorders (Wilson disease, Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1), and infectious/inflammatory conditions (Acute Pyelonephritis, Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis).
A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating the clinical efficacy and safety of hypertonic saline (HTS) versus other intracranial-pressure-lowering agents for patients with acute traumatic brain injury (TBI). The study concluded that there was no significant evidence of an effect of HTS on clinically important outcomes (GOS score or mortality), but it was associated with adverse hypernatremia.
A comprehensive book about urolithiasis (urological stones) that discusses all aspects of stone disease. This book is directed to patients with this condition and their families.
This text outlines the critical steps for managing severely injured or critically ill patients in an emergency, emphasizing the importance of bypassing the full traditional diagnostic path to prioritize life-saving interventions. It details the systematic Primary Survey using the ABCDE acronym (Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure) and the initial impression assessment based on Consciousness, Breathing, and Color (CBC).
A collection of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and extended matching questions (EMQs) designed to help candidates prepare for the MRCOG Part 2 examination, focusing on clinical management and knowledge application.
A detailed guide listing the clinical case scenarios covered across eight days of the 2024 Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). Topics are organized by daily schedule and categorized across all major medical specialties, including Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, OB/GYN, Emergency Medicine, and Psychiatry, serving as a high-yield study blueprint for board preparation.
A comprehensive guide covering the principles, techniques, and interpretation of radiographic imaging specifically tailored for endodontic procedures, diagnosis, and treatment planning.
