Paperback. Condición: Very Good. This book attempts to give a symptom- rather than a disease-oriented approach to differential diagnosis. It is intended for students, for postgraduates studying for higher examinations, and for all those who wish to refresh themselves on common problems in internal medicine. All chapters have been reviewed and revised, including new aids to diagnosis an new screening techniques, eg NMR, echo and ultrasound. In addition, there is discussion on AIDS and more information on the management of coronary artery disease. Each chapter discusses a common symptom or sign. It attempts to relate this to normal and abnormal function so as to give a basis for understanding. The clnical features which are important in the differential diagnosis are emphasized and there is a discussion of those investigations which will help to establish the diagnosis. Subjects have been selected which are either important in the day-to-day practice of general medicine, or which are poorly understood by students and postgraduates. At the end of each chapter there is an illustrative case history with questions. This is followed by a detailed discussion of the case. These problems serve as a challenge to the reader's diagnostic ability and as a test of comprehension of the chapter. They should be of value to those taking the MRCP(UK) examinations which contain this type of case problem. Since the second edition in 1982, HIV infection and AIDS have become important health problems. Like syphilis in the past, these disorders must now be considered in the differential diagnosis of disease affecting many systems of the body. Diagnostic methods continue to increase in sophistication and power, while at the same time becoming progressively less invasive. The newer imaging techniques in particular have revolutionized the approach to many diagnostic problems. It has, therefore, been necessary to make considerable changes in this third edition so that these new and exciting developments can be given due weight and their incorporation into diagnostic protocols clearly demonstrated.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Many medical and pharmaceutical workers have very little knowledge of statistics. Yet statistics is one of the tools must commonly used in their field. This book aims to give the reader a clear understanding of statistics, particularly in a medical context.The book has been carefully structured to make it easy to use and to learn from. The numerical examples used are simple, to ensure the reader grasps quickly the underlying principles, and the first part of the book is particularly easy reading to encourage the reader initially. The main part of the book dispenses in formation in small doses called 'frames' with questions and answers designed to continously test the reader's grasp of the subject matter. This makes the book particularly useful for self-testing - a powerful way to learn. Moreover, many of the answers feature further explanation or comment to give background to the point being made.As a whole, the book is meant to be read from start to finish (not 'dipped into') so that each point leads on logically, building up the reader's knowledge sequentially. However to cement that knowledge and help revision, each chapter ends with revision summaries covering fully the chapter's content. This third edition has been fully revised and much of the material is new, for example chapter 19 (on simple linear regression) 21 (nonparametric methods) and 22 (statistical computing.). The book retains the strengths of previous editions and will give the reader a thorough understanding of this vital subject. Features: * An accessible guide to understanding this vital subject * Carefully structured to guide the reader through the subject in a user-friendly way and ensure comprehension * No complicated mathematics - to ensure the reader grasps the basic concepts quickly * Features self-testing questions and discursive answers giving more detail and a better understanding * Fully revised for this edition. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

In a world where nurses are being asked to be more and more explicit about the contribution they make to health care, the evidence on which they base their practice, the actions they take, and the outcomes they are working towards with patients all have to be justified. The use of well-developed theoretical models is therefore becoming even more important. Critically, they help not only to plan care, but also to explain to others exactly what it is that they are aiming to achieve.

Paperback. Condición: Good. In today's mental health services, there is a pressing need for practitioners to place greater emphasis on working with users of services and to use skills which have a sound theoretical basis. This book focuses on evidence-based practices but reflects that in mental health, the best evidence is the personal experience of the user. This book seeks to guide, plan and suggest down-to-earth treatment ideas for individuals on a day to day basis. There are many publications which explore theoretical aspects of service delivery or provide an in-depth analysis of specific clinical interventions. However, how practitioners comprehensively amalgamate theory with their practice is often missing. This book fills that gap. Section 1: Perceptions of SMI and treatment methods - includes a unique chapter from a user which vividly illustrates the experience of mental illness, as well as an introduction to treatment methods, stress vulnerability and the diagnostic process. Section 2: Assessment - Choosing and using the assessment process is the cornerstone of effective interventions, and this section looks at how to choose and use some of the tools available. It addresses the specific skills in focussing this information towards achieving clients goals and identifying risk factors. Section 3: Interventions - This section provides chapters on a range of interventions specific to individual client needs. It reflects the often complex picture of needs which clients experience. Section 4: Cautions in Effective Treatment - This section addresses those issues which often underpin the success or failure of interventions. Its aim is to guide practitioners to reflect further on issues which surround their relationships with clients, including culture, ethical issues and professional considerations. Whether in training or in practice, you will find this book a practical, user-friendly guide to working with clients and their families. Easy to read, clearly designed, and, above all, focussing on the needs of practitioners and their clients, it is the essential handbook for practitioners in this challenging area.
