"Mastering the Medical Long Case 2e" is designed to assist medical students preparing for the clinical component of their examinations and for participating in their clinical rotations. Case discussions in the latter section of the book provide useful guidance to medical students involved in PBL and CBL modules.

The Long Case is also a focus of the Physician's exam - candidates at the FRACP are given two cases and must perform well to secure an overall pass.

The book aims to enable trainees to develop a necessary structured approach to the Long Case.

Medical researchers including doctors, nurses, medical students and allied health professionals are required to undertake a period of research as part of their career pathway. This book covers the main areas, allowing anyone to set up and complete research projects and this information can easily be translated to clinical projects. Written by international authors to provide a flavor from many institutions, the booka (TM)s appeal is cross-sectional, both at hospital and primary care levels worldwide.

Section A, the most important area in the book, covers the hardest step - setting up research (i.e. initial paperwork and funding projects).

In this exploration of the significance of illness in the Victorian literary imagination Miriam Bailin maps the cultural implications and narrative effects of the sickroom as an important symbolic space in nineteenth-century life and literature. Dr Bailin draws on non-fictional accounts of illness by Julia Stephen, Harriet Martineau and others to illuminate the presentation of illness and ministration, patient and nurse, in the fiction of Charlotte Bronte, Charles Dickens and George Eliot. She argues that the sickroom functions as an imagined retreat from conflicts in Victorian society, and that fictional representations of illness serve to resolve both social conflict and aesthetic tension. Her concentration on the sickroom scene as a compositional response to insistent formal as well as social problems yields fresh readings of canonical works and approaches to the constituent elements of Victorian realist narrative.

Dieses Fachbuch dient als Anleitung zur Befundung eines Thorax-Rontgenbildes und liefert zudem Informationen zum neuesten Stand der Diagnostik. Es ist das einzige Werk, in dem der Weg zur Diagnose von Thoraxerkrankungen systematisch erklart wird und die Beschreibung anhand einheitlicher Terminologie erfolgt. Behandelt werden die haufigsten rontgen-relevanten Erkrankungen der Thoraxorgane. Mit ausfuhrlichen Erklarungen, Tabellen und Abbildungen wird das exakte Procedere schrittweise erlautert. Beginnend mit den anamnestischen Daten, schliesst sich daran eine klare Beschreibung nach einheitlicher Terminologie an. Kurzkommentare erortern alle Merkmale kritisch und begrunden die mutmassliche Diagnose. Hierbei werden insbesondere auch andere Moglichkeiten und differentialdiagnostische Gesichtspunkte ausfuhrlich diskutiert.Reprasentative Rontgenbilder in einheitlichem und grosszugigem Format und klare Schilderung der wichtigsten klinischen Merkmale der Erkrankungen helfen bei der Interpretation. Insbesondere wird gezeigt, wie ein korrekter Befundbericht abfasst und eine allgemeinverstandliche Diagnose formuliert wird. Grundlage ist eine einheitliche Terminologie und standardisierte Systematik - das DDS-System(r) - mit dem die richtige Diagnose erstellt werden kann."
