Neurology: A Clinician's Approach teaches a symptom-oriented
approach to the 20 most common problems which face neurologists in
training. Emphasizing the primary importance of the patient
history, the reader is instructed which questions to ask in order
to elicit the chief complaint, how to ask these questions, and how
to interpret the answers. The neurologic examination is presented
as a flexible diagnostic tool rather than as a rigid exercise to be
performed by rote and without reference to the chief complaint.
Each chapter integrates evidence-based and experience-based
approaches to diagnostic testing and treatment.
Frequently-encountered conditions, uncommon 'zebras', and
non-neurologic mimics of nervous system dysfunction are all given
appropriate weight. Neurology: A Clinician's Approach is essential
reading for neurologists in training, including neurology residents
and medical students.
Basic and Bedside Electrocardiography is the first book to
integrate the basics of ECG interpretation with the most recent
clinical guidelines for treating patients with ECG abnormalities.
Each concise, bulleted chapter discusses a disease state, gives
many tracings as examples, provides clear illustrations of
pathophysiology, and offers guidelines for diagnosis and treatment
of specific entities. More than 600 illustrations aid readers in
recognizing commonly encountered ECG abnormalities. Diagrammatic
illustrations at the end of most chapters summarize the different
ECG abnormalities discussed, to help readers recognize the
different arrhythmias more easily. An appendix provides
quick-reference information on commonly used intravenous agents.
A highly illustrated book providing concise yet comprehensive
information on fracture classification and management. The text has
been developed according to the requirements of orthopaedic
surgeons in training. The first section covers general principles
such as terminology and dealing with multiple trauma; following
sections take the reader systematically through regions of the body
and the various possible fractures, covering diagnosis, treatment
and healing in each case. Definitive information on the
ever-disputed issue of classification of musculoskeletal injuries
is provided throughout. An effective reference book for the clinic,
this book is also an indispensable tool for trainees in orthopaedic
and emergency medicine and orthopaedic nurses.
Medical Response to Child Sexual Abuse, Second Edition is
specifically developed to equip physicians, nurses, and other
medical professionals with the necessary tools to identify cases of
child sexual abuse. This new edition is revised and updated to
reflect contemporary best practices for the pediatric approach to
childhood sexual abuse and effectively treat and examine sexually
abused patients. Professionals who work with sexually abused
children face a great challenge in not only treating the immediate
outcomes of sexual abuse but also safeguarding their patients'
long-term recovery. To meet their needs and the needs of those in
their care, Medical Response to Child Sexual Abuse, Second Edition
offers a wealth of evidence-based research and practical guidelines
to the evaluation of childhood sexual abuse.
The second edition of the Pocket Guide is designed to work as a
clinical handbook and up-to-date reference for nurses when
interviewing patients of all age groups and cultural backgrounds,
taking health histories, promoting health, and performing physical
assessments. The content derives from and has been developed in
conjunction with Jensen's Nursing Health Assessment: A Best
Practice Approach and serves to both review the core content
provided in the textbook as well as help students apply their
foundational learning through reinforcement and streamlined
presentation. The content focuses on key questions in the area of
health promotion, reviewing important risk factors and outlining
essential teaching points for risk assessment and intervention. It
includes essential questions to review common and concerning signs
and symptoms for each health assessment topic. The chapters review
the key techniques of examination, outlining normal and unexpected
findings. Finally, tables of findings provide a quick reference by
which students can compare and contrast results to assist with
eventual nursing and medical diagnoses.
Fully updated and revised for its second edition, the Oxford
Handbook of Clinical Examination and Practical Skills is the only
truly comprehensive pocket guide to all aspects of history taking,
physical examination, practical procedures, data interpretation,
and communication skills. Packed with expert knowledge and
practical guidance it gives realistic advice on coping with common
situations. The handbook is structured to allow rapid reference of
key information, and to aid understanding with concise and
practical clinical guidance. Full colour throughout, it includes
over 140 detailed photographs and diagrams of all common
examination skills to show you exactly what you need to do and the
theory, practice and complications for each. More photos have been
included, with over half completely new and specially produced for
this edition. Each system chapter covers applied anatomy, history,
examination, and the presentation of common and important
disorders. Data interpretation covers the basics of x-rays, ECGs
and other key areas. A new chapter on the eyes is included along
with the sections on body language and non-verbal communication,
and the section on practical procedures has been expanded. This
handbook will help to ensure you have the confidence and skill to
carry out an 'A' grade examination every time.
