More than two million medical students, doctors and other health
professionals around the globe have owned a copy of _DAVIDSON’S
PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF MEDICINE_ since it was first published. Now
in its 23rd Edition, this textbook describes the pathophysiology and
clinical features of the most frequently encountered conditions in the
major specialties of adult medicine and explains how to recognise,
investigate, diagnose and manage them. Taking its origins from Sir
Stanley Davidson’s much-admired lecture notes, _DAVIDSON’S_ has
endured because it keeps pace with how modern medicine is taught and
provides a wealth of information in an easy-to-read, concise and
beautifully illustrated format. This book will serve readers
everywhere as a core text that integrates medical science with
clinical medicine, conveying key knowledge and practical advice in a
highly accessible and readable format.
* The opening section describes the fundamentals of genetics,
immunology, infectious diseases and population health, and discusses
the core principles of clinical decision-making and good prescribing.
* A new second section on emergency and critical care medicine
encompasses poisoning, envenomation and environmental medicine, and
introduces a new chapter on acute medicine and critical illness.
* The third section covers the major medical specialties, each
thoroughly revised and brought fully up to date. Two new chapters on
maternal and adolescent/transition medicine complement the one on
ageing and disease. A new chapter on medical ophthalmology has been
included.
_ * Clinical Examination_ overviews summarise the main elements for
each system and now feature in the biochemistry, nutrition and
dermatology chapters.
_ * Presenting Problems_ sections provide a clear pathway for the
assessment of and approach to the most common complaints in each
specialty.
_ * Practice Point _summaries detail the practical skills that
medical students and junior doctors must acquire.
_ * Emergency_ boxes emphasise the core knowledge needed to manage
acutely ill patients.
_ * In Old Age_, _In Pregnancy_ and _In Adolescence_ boxes highlight
differences in the practice of medicine in these patient groups, and
illustrate the interfaces between medical, obstetric and paediatric
services.
* The text is extensively illustrated, with over 1000 diagrams,
clinical photographs, and radiology and pathology images.
* The global perspective is enhanced by an International Advisory
Board of experts from 17 countries, and by authors from around the
world.
