Atlas of Pediatric Physical Diagnosis - Tapa dura

This color atlas discusses common and important pediatric problems that lend themselves to rapid visual diagnosis and simple laboratory evaluation, including tests which can be performed in the office or via X-rays. Format allows physicians to diagnose disorders without expensive and time-consuming diagnostic methods.

This atlas, featuring more then 1300 colour illustrations, 200 colour drawings and 100 tables, addresses common and important paediatric problems that lend themselves to rapid visual diagnosis. Rather than therapy, the emphasis is on physical diagnosis and simple laboratory evaluation, such as simple tests a practitioner can do in an office or via x-rays to aid diagnosis. Examination techniques, modes of presentation and physical findings are discussed, as are more difficult diagnosis areas such as child abuse, infectious disease, dermatology, orthopaedics, otolaryngology, neonatology, gynaecology, dentistry and surgery. The third edition includes sections on normal physical examinations to provide the basis for diagnosis and comparison.
