The fully updated fifth edition of this highly successful textbook
provides an integrated symptom- and issue-based approach to
internal medicine with easily accessible, high-yield clinical
information. For each topic, carefully organized sections on
different diagnoses, investigations, and treatments are designed to
facilitate patient care and examination preparation. Numerous
clinical pearls and comparison tables are provided to help enhance
learning, and international units (US and metric) are used to
facilitate application in everyday clinical practice. In addition
to the central tenets of internal medicine, the book covers many
highly important, rarely discussed topics in medicine, including:
palliative care, obstetrical medicine, transfusion reactions,
needle stick injuries, interpretation of gram stain, depression and
code status discussion. This fifth edition additionally includes
new coverage of the coronavirus-19 and cancer survivorship while
being fully updated throughout. Authors present this information in
a streamlined fashion, preserving the book's pocket-sized, quick
reference format. Approach to Internal Medicine continues to serve
as an essential reference primarily for medical students,
residents, and fellows -- with practicing physicians, nurses, and
advanced practice providers also finding the text of value as a
point of care reference.
Patients with advanced cancer may develop a number of clinical
complications related to tumor progression or a variety of
aggressive treatments. The majority of these patients are elderly,
often with multiple co-morbidities that require appropriate
assessment and management. In the palliative stage of their
disease, patients undergo a progressive transition from active
acute care to community-based hospice care. This transition
requires modification in the diagnostic tests, monitoring
procedures and pharmacological treatments to adjust them to the
palliative and short-term nature of the care. Internal Medicine
Issues in Palliative Cancer Care looks at internal medicine through
a prognosis-based framework and provides a practical approach to
maximizing comfort and quality of life while minimizing aggressive
investigations and therapies for patients with life-limiting
disease. Forty-six common internal medicine conditions are
organized into nine clinical categories: pulmonary, cardiovascular,
nephrologic and metabolic, gastrointestinal, hematologic,
infectious, endocrine, rheumatologic, and neuro-psychiatric. This
evidence-based resource is ideal for educating clinicians
delivering palliative care to cancer patients in acute care
facilities about complex internal medicine problems,
decision-making regarding diagnostics and therapeutics which
require a good understanding of state-of-the-art internal medicine
and palliative care principles.
