Atlas of Clinical Diagnosis

Product Description

The ATLAS OF CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS presents a sign-orientated approach to the diagnosis of both common and rare medical disorders that physicians may encounter in hospital or in the community. The comprehensive collection of clinical pictures, organised by anatomical region from scalp to sole, reflects actual clinical practice where a diagnosis has to be constructed from a single sign or a collection of signs. Fundamental, pathognomonic, and commonly seen non-specific clinical signs are presented with clinical features highlighted for rapid recognition and interpretation. In addition, the book provides guidance on appropriate bedside clinical tests for establishing diagnoses.

The book is fully indexed so it is easy to find what you are looking for, by either looking here or in the contents. You could easily while away an hour idly leafing through the book, picking up numerous snippets by which to impress your colleagues." Dr JM Sager, Medix-UK, July 2003
over 1200 full colour, high quality photos of pathologies...a good book, well laid out and written." Medical Student, GKT Gazette, February 2004

Excellent resource for visual diagnosis5
"A picture is worth a thousand words" certainly holds true in medicine; you can read all you want about a physical finding, but nothing clarifies better than a picture. This book has over 1300 excellent color photos of various physical findings, pathological signs, and disease markers organized into sections that correspond to the various body parts: face, mouth, arms, legs, etc. They can be perused at random or consulted by specific body part to help with a diagnosis. Atlases usually have a sparcity of text, but the author manages to squeeze in a good amount of description and related information for enhanced learning. Great for students or veteran practitioners.
