Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine

Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine
Publisher: Oxford University Press | ISBN: N\A | edition 2004 | CHM | 1003 pages | 19,4 mb

Death is Nature's master stroke, albeit a cruel one, because it allows genotypes space and opportunity to try on new phenotypes. The time comes in the life of any organ or person when it is better to start again from scratch rather than carry on with the weight and muddle of endless accretions. Our bodies and minds are these perishable phenotypesвЂ”the froth, which always turns to scum, on the wave of our genes. These genes are not really our genes. It is us who belong to them for a few decades. It is one of Nature's great insults that she should prefer to put all her eggs in the basket of a defenceless, incompetent neonate rather than in the tried and tested custody of our own superb minds. But as our neurofibrils begin to tangle, and that neonate walks to a wisdom that eludes us, we are forced to give Nature credit for her daring idea. Of course, Nature, in her careless way, can get it wrong: people often die in the wrong order (one of our chief roles is to prevent this mis-ordering of deaths, not the phenomenon of death itself).

Oxford Handbook of Clinical Examination and Practical Skills

Your one-stop-shop for final examination, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Examination and Practical Skills is the first truly comprehensive pocket guide to clinical examination and practical skills for medical students and junior doctors. Providing clear and user-friendly guidance on all aspects of history taking, physical examination, common practical procedures, data interpretation and communication skills, it gives realistic advice on coping with common situations. In line with current teaching methods, the book takes a systems-based approach to medicine. Each system chapter follows a structured format covering applied anatomy, history, examination, and the presentation of common and important disorders. The procedures section includes approximately forty practical procedures that the final year medical student and senior nurse are expected to perform, from hand-washing through cardiopulmonary resuscitation to inserting chest drains. The theory, practice and complications are outlined for each. The final section on data interpretation covers the basics of chest x-rays, abdominal x-rays, ECGs, lung function tests and several other areas that the junior doctor is expected to carry out in their early years of training. Aimed at medical students throughout their course and student nurses throughout their clinical years, its clear presentation and layout combined with comprehensive clinical detail make this book an ideal guide both for quick reference whilst on the wards, or for more detailed study at the desk. It will also prove useful to junior doctors and nurse practitioners as a primer before going out onto wards, or into a primary care setting.

HIGHLY COMMENDED IN THE MEDICINE CATEGORY IN THE BMA 2006 MEDICAL BOOK COMPETITION!

The 11^th Edition of this famous medical textbook, first published in 1964, has been extensively rewritten and expanded by a new team of 3 editors and 22 authors who are all active clinicians and experts in their specialist fields.

Macleod's Clinical Examination describes the practical skills every clinician must acquire and develop in order to evolve diagnostic procedures and management strategies and plans. Its main purpose is to document and explain how to:

talk with a patient

take the history from the patient

examine a patient

formulate your findings into differential diagnoses and rank these in order of probability

use investigations to support or refute your differential diagnosis.

The book has three sections:

Section One details the principles of history taking, general examination and the external features of disease.

Section Two comprises the systems chapters which are laid out in the same order.

A brief introduction setting the scene

Definitions and common symptoms

The History, what questions to ask and how to follow them up

The Clinical Examination, what and how to examine

Investigations:

those done at the patient's side (near-patient tests)

laboratory investigations

invasive investigations including X-rays

All chapters include sample OSCE stations and summaries of key points emphasising good practice

Section Three is entirely new and relates to the patient as a whole; the first outlines the examination of the neonate, preschool and primary school child, while the second covers the approach to the critically ill patient. Both chapters emphasize an integrated and structured approach to these patients.

This new edition of Macleod's Clinical Examination is the most comprehensive yet covering aspects of history taking and physical signs in every system including examination of the Critically Ill Patient.

Medical students training to be effective doctors.
