This book is exactly what I was looking for. It has pictures I can compare to my own MRI and discussion of diagnosis of pituitary disorders. It was purchased through Amazon and in brand new condition.

Review

From the reviews: “The diagnosis and treatment of all major diseases of the anterior pituitary are covered in detail in this book, with an emphasis on the different types of pituitary adenomas. … This book is addressed primarily to practicing endocrinologists, though it will be helpful for all physicians taking care of patients with pituitary diseases. … is an excellent choice for endocrinologists and other physicians looking for a single book on pituitary disorders. It is a well written and comprehensive update on both diagnosis and treatment.” (Ronald N Cohen, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2008)

From the Back Cover

This text provides a detailed update on current diagnostic and therapeutic techniques useful in the management of a broad spectrum of pituitary disorders.  The contents reflect the multidisciplinary approach needed for patients with disorders of the pituitary gland, with contributions from both endocrinologists and neurosurgeons, as well as specialty contributions from radiologists, ophthalmologists, pathologists, radiation oncologists, and neurologists.  The book focuses on each pituitary tumor subtype, and contains additional chapters related to other lesions of the sella, including tumor management during pregnancy and in the pediatric age group.

1. I am a busy FP doc at a military base and I see a considerable amount of dermatologic complaints. I try to take care of most of it myself (since we have no dermatologist on staff) and find this book indispensable to my daily practice. I open it practically every day. For those of you who think the ‘baby’ Habif is enough, it’s not! Trust me, I tried to scrape by with the ‘baby’ version for years before I bit the bullet and bought it. The sections on acne, eczema, dermatophytosis, and rosacea are outstanding.

2. Without a doubt, the best practical derm book out there to help you wade through the countless derm conditions that can be seen in primary care medicine. Thorough, easy to understand and great pictures. What else can you want in a derm book?

3.  I previously lauded the 3rd edition. Now I am extremely impressed by the latest edition. There are more pictures and elaborate details about diagnosis and treatment. But what I consider the best improvement are the expanded tables in each chapter. These tables detail recommended evaluations, treatments and differential diagnosis.

This book is really unique. It provides clear simple black and white drawings. All structures are labeled w/ numbers so you can quiz yourself. On the accompanying page there is a structure key that also includes short high yield discussions. I am using this book to review anatomy for my surgery clerkship and it’s been great. It also provides the full spectrum of anatomy, including a very strong neuroanatomy section that even separates out cranial nerves instead of having extremely confusing and jumbled diagrams like in Netter’s.

Editorial Reviews

“This is a comprehensive volume of internal medicine and associated areas which can serve most excellently not only the medical student and the clinical resident but it should be on the bookshelf of all practicing physicians including those whose field is different from internal medicine.” – Julian L. Ambrus, MD, PhD, FACP, Journal of Medicine

“First published in 1927 and now in its 24th edition, this book continues its legacy as a comprehensive pillar of modern medicine. The editors have brought together the best of world-renowned experts in their areas to organize an overview of the accepted facts of physiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Each of the classic textbooks of medicine is written with a particular philosophy, and this one is known for its practical, quick, comprehensive nature. This edition continues to meet that extraordinary goal. The editors and authors have drawn on their extensive experience to produce a truly noteworthy book. It is organized in the usual organ-system manner, but what really sets the tone are the exquisite figures, tables, and illustrations that help readers better understand and remember important points. The online full-text version is extremely easy to use with videos for diagnostic tests such as echocardiograms and endoscopies, physical examinations such as evaluating gait and other neurological signs, self-assessment questions, and case studies. Also included are QR Codes that, when used with a smartphone, will directly open the videos from the website. These videos are of extraordinarily high quality. This is part of the foundation of modern medicine. It remains a must-have for every medical library. Weighted Numerical Score: 100 – 5 Stars!” – Doody’s Book Review

“Without doubt it has retained its authoritative role and remains a sweeping and detailed of general medicine and I mean detailed…this is a vast modern textbook of medicine which combines the rich tradition of the old with the energy of the new. The price may just be slightly over 100 pounds but for what you get, it is very good value.” – Univadis, February 2012

Cecil’s does it again…. Concise and logically written sections offers the best of both worlds. Allows fast resourcing for our busy clinical lifestyles, as well as detailed description of diseases, diagnosis and therapies for learning.

This text is highly recommended for the novice in med school. It will broaden your scope as well as fill in the “gaps” sometimes appreciated with lectures. The authors always remain aware of your perspective -a clinician trying to understand disease and treatment to better your patient. It is easier to read more so than other texts with use of graph, algorithms, and pictures to enhance your learning experience. And for the tech savvy… The PDFs and videos available online will work well with your mobile devices.

Interns, residents, staff… Great to use for reasons stated above. Better than previous additions with updated sections and web applications.

Cons as seen so far… Color tabs on side marking sections were removed as present in last edition. Makes looking up sections not as easy, a small issue. Would like to see more integration for mobile devices i.e. full PDF availability for tablets, app…)

In all… A highly valued resource for today’s ever changing medical practice.

THE account of the use of mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients

A Doody’s Core Title for 2011!

4 STAR DOODY’S REVIEW!

“This second edition continues the role established by its predecessor as the leading work in the field. Mechanical ventilation, as a defining event of critical care, has seen an explosion of physiologic and outcomes research in the past decade. Our thinking about management of ARDS, ventilator-induced lung injury, patient-ventilator interaction, and infectious complications has changed dramatically. All of this recent work is summarized here.”–Doody’s Review Service

Editor Martin J. Tobin–past editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine–has completely revised this text, acclaimed by The Lancet as “the bible of mechanical ventilation.” The new edition is a cover-to-cover revision of the original content, filled with cutting-edge scientific insights from more than 200 contributors representing critical care, pulmonary medicine, anesthesiology, surgery, basic science, and radiology.

Features:

Up-to-the minute, rigorous coverage that addresses every important scientific, clinical, and technical aspect of the field

70 well-organized chapters that encompass the full scope of mechanical ventilation, including the physical basis of mechanical ventilation; conventional, alternative, noninvasive, and unconventional methods of ventilator support; complications and airway management; and ethics and economics

24 new chapters on current issues in mechanical ventilation: Closed Loop Ventilation, Inhaled Antibiotic Therapy, Sleep and Speech in the Ventilated Patient, Mechanical Ventilation in ARDS, Ventilation Outside the ICU, and more

Highly relevant new chapters on pharmacological and adjuvant therapy

Greater use of tables and lists that conveniently summarize key information and solidify chapter concepts

From the Back Cover

Oral radiology board examinations are notoriously difficult and stressful, requiring a sound working knowledge of all the standard exams and disease pathology encountered in radiology practice. Radiology: The Oral Boards Primer concisely and comprehensively organizes the essential information needed to pass the board exams in diagnostic radiology in an easy to review and easy to memorize format. Drawing on pertinent and key differential diagnoses, the authors have assembled and organized the diagnoses most likely to appear on the exam and illustrated them with essential images to reinforce the findings associated with each differential. Additionally, with each finding set a mnemonic is provided to augment recall of any missing components of the differential that would be considered important. Because of their concise presentation, many cases can be examined, interpreted, completed, and memorized very rapidly in a single sitting. Since the majority of cases contain prototypical representations of pathology, the book also serves as an excellent reference during residency training, as well as a source for many years after the reader has taken and passed the oral board examination. Thoughtfully designed for test success, Radiology: The Oral Boards Primer will greatly assist in the preparation for the American Board of Radiology examination and inspire the assuredness and confidence that comes from being superbly prepared.

Many lab books on the market are geared solely for the nurse or technician who must perform the test whereas this book is an excellent resource for any allied health professional who needs a basic understanding of commonly ordered laboratory and diagnostic tests.

Review

Anesthesia & Analgesia called the 7th edition “a modern classic” and noted that “each chapter is well written, clear, and concise.”
“This book is user friendly, well illustrated, and well written. There are quite a few books on this topic, and they struggle to maintain a balance between breadth and depth. This book manages that beautifully. It is a wonderful addition to the library of anyone who practices pediatric anesthesia, either occasionally or on a regular basis.”- Tariq M. Malik, MD, Doody’s Review –  5 Stars!

I got this book for some extra microbio questions in preparation for Step 1. I am using it in conjunction with First AID. Overall I think the book is very good at giving board-style questions (long stems, secondary/tertiary questions) when it comes to bacteriology and virology, but definitely lacks in the mycology and parasitology sections. The questions in the mycology and parasitology sections almost seem too straight forward, testing basic knowledge of the material. In addition, there are only 30-50 questions in each of those areas compared to hundreds in bacteriology and 100+ in virology. Also, if you plan on studying microbiology by system, you might find the layout of questions annoying. It’s more of a grab-bag review book and is better approached if you study by infectious organism since that’s how the chapters are broken up.
Book Description

Review

From the reviews: “This book provides basic information on ECG analysis as well as pathophysiologic and electrophysiologic concepts. … The intended audience includes students, midlevels, physicians in training, and clinicians interested in cardiovascular diseases. … Numerous illustrations and pictures are easy to understand and concepts are clearly detailed. The multiple examples, summary … of each chapter are helpful and well done. The quality of ECGs, teaching points, and overall content of this book is excellent, making it a valuable teaching aid for students and practitioners of cardiology.” (Timir Paul, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2009)

From the Back Cover

Over the last decade, there has been a tremendous improvement in our understanding of basic cardiac electrophysiology. Most introductory electrocardiogram (ECG) books teach via pattern recognition and do not incorporate new pathophysiologic information. There is a great need for a simple book that teaches electrocardiography from a pathophysiologic basis. ECG Interpretation: From Pathophysiology to Clinical Application has been written to fill this gap. It can be utilized as a reference – chapter by chapter or read throughout for an overview. Each chapter will end with questions that provide a chapter review. Case studies are highlighted at the end of the book that integrate the multiple principles of electrocardiography.

Most Helpful Customer Review

This is a fairly basic book about CXRs, that can help you review the most important abnormal CXR findings. Appropriate for non-radiology interns/residents. I’m in internal medicine and bought this book to refresh my memory about the basics of the CXR.

The book is organized into 11 chapters:

1. How to look at a chest X-ray

2. Localizing lesions

3. The CT scan

4. The white lung field

5. The black lung field

6. The abnormal hilum

7. The abnormal heart shadow

8. The widened mediastinum

9. Abnormal ribs

10. Abnormal soft tissues

11. The hidden abnormality

Pros:

The book provides systematic teaching of CXR interpretation. The bullet-point style is very helpful for learning and reviewing.

A good supplement to this book is >100 Chest X-ray problems< by the same authors.

Cons:

Overall the picture quality is decent, but sometimes the pictures are a little bit too small to see the abnormalities clearly.

There are also a few CT scans, but not enough.

This book is very basic. You will want to look for a more in-depth book afterwards.

This book is overpriced. It is small (fits into a coat pocket) and has only 169 pages.

Would I buy it again? Yes, this book served my purposes of getting a quick and dirty refresher in CXR interpretation with lots of CXR examples.

Book Description

Translated into over a dozen languages, this book has been widely praised for making interpretation of the chest X-ray as simple as possible. It describes the range of conditions likely to be encountered on the wards and guides the doctor through the process of examining and interpreting the film based on the appearance of the abnormality shown. It then assists the doctor in determining the nature of the abnormality and points the clinician towards a possible differential diagnosis. It covers the common radiological problems the junior doctors are faced with starting with the appearance of the film, e.g. showing generalised shadowing or a coin lesion. It gives advice on how to examine an X-ray, how to check its technical quality and how to identify where the lesion is. All the X-rays are accompanied by a simple line diagram outlining where the abnormality is.

Covers the full range of common radiological problems.

Includes valuable advice on how to examine an X-ray.

Assists the doctor in determining the nature of the abnormality.

Points the clinician towards a possible differential diagnosis.

Now presented in two-colour to enhance the appearance of the text.

New material includes an introduction to thoracic CT scanning indicating the usefulness of these scans where appropriate.
