        Ferri's - Color Atlas And Text Of Clinical Medicine

    AUTHORS :
         Fred F. Ferri, MD, FACP

    SUMMARY :
        The goal of this book is to be a comprehensive, current, and clinically relevant medical resource. The idea of this work began while contemplating the enormity of material one needs to master in clinical medicine. Although there are several textbooks available on clinical medicine and a vast number of established atlases dealing primarily with dermatological disorders, there are no established books that combine the information contained within a traditional textbook with the visual imagery of a color atlas. This book aims to provide such a combination.
        Visuals are the critical language of medical education. The old adage of “A picture is worth a thousand words” is certainly true in medicine. Recognition of disorders from illustrations remains crucial to early diagnosis and treatment, both of which are usually essential to improve prognosis. In creating this book, care was taken to include the classic examples of common medical disorders in detail. Rare disorders were also included because they are often discussed for purposes of differential diagnosis and because they are frequently referenced in the medical literature and on medical board exams. As such, this book endeavors to provide the student and the newly qualified doctor with a guide to the diagnosis of common clinical disorders, and the more experienced physician with a guide to less common, but still important, diseases.
        The book is divided in 14 sections ranging from disorders of skin and subcutaneous tissues to infectious diseases. Each section follows a similar format, which consists of an initial description of the normal anatomy and physiology followed by diagnostic tests and procedures, and descriptions and illustrations of various disorders pertinent to that section. The format and size of this book are designed to be a handy refresher of important clinical, anatomic, laboratory and radiographic signs. There are 352 chapters, 3031 illustrations and over 100 tables, boxes and algorithms, each specifically selected to illuminate the assessment of clinical disorders. In summary, it is unlike any other existing book in both scope and content, and certainly deserves a unique place in any medical library.
        I hope that this book fulfills your every expectation, provides valuable support to the learning of clinical medicine, and serves as an effective resource in daily clinical practice.

        Rapid Review Of Radiology

    AUTHORS :
        Shahid Hussain MA, MB, BChir, MRCP, FRCR
        Sherif Aaron Abdel Latif MB, ChB, MRCS, FRCR
        Adrian David Hall MB, ChB , MRCP, FRCR

    SUMMARY :
        In this book the author has compiled a selection of cases covering many aspects of radiology to help trainees with the practical aspects of image recognition and formulating a differential diagnosis. The selection of cases is broad enough to provide an introduction for some readers, with more testing cases for those in the later stages of training. Each self-test case is presented with an image, or set of images, together with the pertinent clinical details. The solution and explanation is presented over the page along with differential diagnoses that logically derive from the images and history. The correct diagnosis is followed by a discussion of the underlying diagnosis with teaching points and main imaging findings, plus any other important factors emerging from the discussion. The book contains 423 images including X-rays, ultrasound, CT, MRI, interventional techniques and nuclear medicine. It will be useful to radiologists in training and other health professional wishing to improve their radiological skills.

Cecil Essentials Of Medicine (PDF Version)

    SOURCE :
        Cecil Essentials Of Medicine - 8th Edition - 2010

    AUTHORS :
        THOMAS E. ANDREOLI, MD, MACP, FRCP (Edin.), FRCP (London), ScD (hon.), Docteur (hon.), MD (hon.)†
            Distinguished Professor - Nolan Chair Emeritus - Department of Internal Medicine - Department of Physiology and Biophysics - University of Arkansas College of Medicine - Little Rock, Arkansas - (†Deceased)

    SUMMARY :
        This is the eighth edition of Andreoli and Carpenter’s Cecil Essentials of Medicine. Essentials VIII, like its predecessors, is intended to be comprehensive but concise. Essentials VIII therefore provides an exacting and thoroughly updated treatise on internal medicine, without excessive length, for students of medicine at all levels of their careers.
        We welcome with enthusiasm a new editor, Edward J. Wing, MD, Frank L. Day Professor of Biology, and Dean of Medicine and Biological Sciences at Brown University Warren Alpert Medical School. Essentials VIII has three cardinal components. First, at the beginning of each section—kidney, for example—we provide a brief but rigorous summary of the fundamental biology of the kidney and/or the cardinal signs and symptoms of diseases of the kidney. The same format has been used in all the sections of the book. Second, the main body of each section contains a detailed, but again, concise description of the diseases of the various organ systems, together with their pathophysiology and their treatment.
        Finally, Essentials relies heavily on the Internet. Essentials VIII is published entirely on a Web site on the Internet. In the online version of Essentials VIII, we provide a substantial amount of supplemental material, indicated in the hard copy text by boldface symbols (for example, Web Fig. 1) and denoted by an arrow icon shown in the margin of this page.
        This icon is present throughout the hard copy of the book as well as in the Internet version and directs the reader to a series of illustrations, tables, or videos in the Internet version of Essentials. This material is clearly crucial to understanding modern medicine, but we hope that, in this manner, the supplemental material will enrich Essentials VIII without having enlarged the book significantly.
        As in prior editions, we make abundant use of 4-color illustrations. And as in prior editions, each section has been reviewed by one or another of the editors, and finally by the editor-in-chief.

Schiff's Diseases of the Liver (PDF Version)

    SOURCE :
        Schiff's Diseases of the Liver - 10th Edition

    AUTHORS :
        Schiff, Eugene R.; Sorrell, Michael F.; Maddrey, Willis C.

    SUMMARY :
        In the recent words of Himsworth, the present time seems to be particularly opportune for reviewing our knowledge of liver disease. A partial list of reasons would include the advances made in the fundamental sciences as they pertain to liver structure and function; the advances in the experimental approach to liver disease; the increased knowledge in the field of viral hepatitis; the newer clinical criteria and concept of hepatic coma, with attention focused on disturbance in the metabolism of ammonia; a better understanding of the pathogenesis and the treatment of cirrhosis; a clearer concept of the metabolic defect in hemochromatosis and the apparent effectiveness of depleting iron stores in the treatment of this disorder; the implication of disturbed copper metabolism in hepatolenticular degeneration; the increasing experience with needle biopsy of the liver; and the surgical attack on portal hypertension.
        This book is not intended to be encyclopedic in nature but rather the expression of present-day information pertaining to various aspects of liver disease by a group of authors particularly qualified by their experience, interest, and scientific contributions. The reader may discover certain omissions, but he usually will find these to be matters of lesser importance. He will be more than compensated by the quality of the information contained, which deals with those aspects of hepatic disease that are much more apt to concern him, including the description of the principles of treatment, both medical and surgical, by experts in the field. Furthermore, he will frequently find it unnecessary to consult other books, particularly on points dealing with basic concepts.

Lippincott's - Illustrated Reviews - Pharmacology (CHM Version)

    SOURCE :
        Lippincott's - Illustrated Reviews - Pharmacology - 4th Edition

    AUTHORS :
        Richard Finkel Pharm.D.
            Department of Pharmaceutical and Administrative Sciences, Nova Southeastern University, College of Pharmacy, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
        Michelle A. Clark Ph.D.
            Department of Pharmaceutical and Administrative Sciences, Nova Southeastern University, College of Pharmacy, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
        Luigi X. Cubeddu M.D., Ph.D.
            Department of Pharmaceutical and Administrative Sciences, Nova Southeastern University, College of Pharmacy, Fort Lauderdale, Florida

    SUMMARY :
        The goal of drug therapy is to prevent, cure, or control various disease states. To achieve this goal, adequate drug doses must be delivered to the target tissues so that therapeutic yet nontoxic levels are obtained.
        Pharmacokinetics examines the movement of a drug over time through the body. Pharmacological as well as toxicological actions of drugs are primarily related to the plasma concentrations of drugs.
        Thus, the clinician must recognize that the speed of onset of drug action, the intensity of the drug's effect, and the duration of drug action are controlled by four fundamental pathways of drug movement and modification in the body.
        First, drug absorption from the site of administration (Absorption) permits entry of the therapeutic agent (either directly or indirectly) into plasma.
        Second, the drug may then reversibly leave the bloodstream and distribute into the interstitial and intracellular fluids (Distribution).
        Third, the drug may be metabolized by the liver, kidney, or other tissues (Metabolism).
        Finally, the drug and its metabolites are removed from the body in urine, bile, or feces (Elimination).
