| clinical problems in medicine and surgery: Clinical Problems in Medicine and Surgery E-Book Peter G Devitt, Jonathan D. Mitchell, Christian Hamilton-Craig, 2011-10-24 Clinical Problems in Medicine and Surgery is a departure from traditional medical textbooks in that it deals with the real problems of clinical medicine through scenarios encountered in the emergency department, on the wards and in outpatient clinics. First published in 1992, the book has found great popularity with medical students, residents and interns about to experience, or already experiencing, the real world of medical practice. The book comprises 55 real-life medical scenarios to illustrate important everyday principles in clinical medicine. For this new Third Edition the successful format of case presentation, interspersed with questions and answers, and a final synopsis of key material, has been retained, while new cases have been added and the many useful web-links updated. With the assistance of expert colleagues across three continents, each problem has been revised and updated. New images have been added which reflect the extensive changes in the field of minimally invasive diagnostics. Searching questions will guide the reader towards further self-directed learning. This book does not purport to be an exhaustive text on clinical medicine. Nor is it a replacement for real-life clinical experience and the hands-on teaching of expert clinicians. It is designed rather as a wide-ranging source of information and a practical aid to the management of clinical problems. The authors hope it will instil in the reader a real sense of excitement and curiosity towards further learning. • A highly praised book that tackles important medical and surgical topics from a problem-oriented angle. • Adopts a case scenario approach which will encourage critical thinking and develop problem-solving skills. • The cases cover all common and important problems likely to face the newly-qualified doctor in the casualty department, on the wards or in the clinic. • The questions although set in the context of the case are designed to test the reader’s overall understanding of the most relevant aspects of each topic. • Well-illustrated with clinical photographs, pathological images and radiological scans and x-rays. Several new cases cover topics such as secondary hypertension, urosepsis and stroke. Searching questions have been added to guide the reader towards further self-directed learning. New imaging reflects the extensive changes in the field of minimally invasive diagnostics. |

| clinical problems in medicine and surgery: Common Problems in Acute Care Surgery Laura J. Moore, Krista L. Turner, S. Rob Todd, 2013-03-12 The current medical literature contains ample text addressing the topics of trauma and critical care. However, there are few texts existing that specifically address the common surgical problems encountered by practicing acute care surgeons. Common Problems in Acute Care Surgery provides a comprehensive, evidence-based review of the most common clinical problems encountered by acute care surgeons. Focusing on the clinical care of the patient, this volume explores the general principles of acute care surgery and the specific disease states that are commonly encountered by acute care surgeons. The work also touches upon the ethical issues and systems development behind acute care surgery, including practical considerations for establishing an acute care surgery program, ethical considerations in acute care surgery, and the role of palliative care. Authored by respected experts in the field and illustrated throughout with detailed photographs, Common Problems in Acute Care Surgery is of great value to resident surgeons in training, fellows, and practicing surgeons in acute care surgery. |

| clinical problems in medicine and surgery: Oxford Cases in Medicine and Surgery Hugo Farne, Edward Norris-Cervetto, James Warbrick-Smith, 2015-10-08 Oxford Cases in Medicine and Surgery, second edition, teaches students a hypothesis-driven, logical step-by-step approach to diagnosis when faced with each of 29 common patient presentations. This approach mirrors that used by successful clinicians on the wards, challenging students with questions at each stage of a case (history-taking, examination, investigation, management). In tackling these questions, students understand how to critically analyse information and learn to integrate their existing knowledge to a real-life scenario from start to finish. Each chapter focuses on a common presenting symptom (e.g. chest pain). By starting with a symptom, mirroring real life settings, students learn to draw on their knowledge of different physiological systems - for example, cardiology, respiratory, gastroenterology - at the same time. All the major presenting symptoms in general medicine and surgery (mapped to UK medical school curricula) are covered, together with a broad range of pathologies. This book is an essential resource for all medicine students, and provides a modern, well-rounded introduction to life on the wards. Ideal for those starting out in clinical medicine and an ideal refresher for those revising for OSCEs and finals. |

| clinical problems in medicine and surgery: Health Professions Education Institute of Medicine, Board on Health Care Services, Committee on the Health Professions Education Summit, 2003-08-01 The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system. |

| clinical problems in medicine and surgery: Clinical Surgery Made Easy Mohan de Silva,, 2008-09-01 This book aims to supplement the reader's clinical experience with a carefully designed series of commonly encountered clinical problems in general surgery to simulate the clinical decision-making approach. Each clinical topic includes: a problem-solving approach; system-based essential core knowledge; concise explanations of relevant basic sciences; management pathways (based on the most up-to-date guidelines); FAQs; self-assessment (EMQs, SBAs, T/F). This book, primarily aimed at undergraduates and junior doctors, will guide and stimulate the reader to recognise, recall and apply the relevant facts to given clinical situations and also enhance success at clinical examinations. Standard textbooks can be daunting. This book is different. I believe that students and young doctors will find this an easy read and will be able to translate the scenarios into an understanding of how clinical pathways are constructed. By asking questions through the pathways students are encouraged to develop their own ideas - a form of problem-based learning rather than learning by rote. Retention of facts is so much easier when they form part of a story. David Cade FRCS, Consultant Surgeon |
| clinical problems in medicine and surgery: Definition of Serious and Complex Medical Conditions Institute of Medicine, Committee on Serious and Complex Medical Conditions, 1999-10-19 In response to a request by the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), the Institute of Medicine proposed a study to examine definitions of serious or complex medical conditions and related issues. A seven-member committee was appointed to address these issues. Throughout the course of this study, the committee has been aware of the fact that the topic addressed by this report concerns one of the most critical issues confronting HCFA, health care plans and providers, and patients today. The Medicare+Choice regulations focus on the most vulnerable populations in need of medical care and other services-those with serious or complex medical conditions. Caring for these highly vulnerable populations poses a number of challenges. The committee believes, however, that the current state of clinical and research literature does not adequately address all of the challenges and issues relevant to the identification and care of these patients. |

| clinical problems in medicine and surgery: Pathways in Surgery, 3Ed Michael Hobsley, Paul B. Boulos, 2002-08-30 As a trainee surgeon, this uniquely structured book leads you step-by-step through the possible cases you will be called upon to manage. This problem-based approach is illustrated clearly by the use of algorithms or 'pathways', accompanied by more detailed textual information. The consistent use of these algorithms throughout all chapters helps teach clinical skills by presenting a logical and structured approach to clinical problems. Essential areas of knowledge are highlighted in each chapter to help guide you through the subject. Substantially expanded and updated since the last edition, Pathways in Surgery now covers the whole of surgery adding eyes, ear nose and throat, cardiothoracic, orthopaedics and more extensive coverage of urology to chapters on general surgery. To ensure authoritative descriptions, authors have been chosen for both their specialist knowledge and their experience in teaching hospitals. This book is primarily intended for all students of surgery, both pre-qualification medical students and surgical trainees studying for higher qualifying examinations such as the MRCS. It will also be a useful reference for general practitioners and established surgeons wanting an up-do-date refresher course in fields outside their own specialty. |
