Inhaltsangabe

Since its first publication 75 years ago, Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine has kept pace with how modern medicine is taught, providing a wealth of trusted information in an easy-to-read, concise, and beautifully illustrated format. Now in its 25th edition, this classic text with origins in Sir Stanley Davidson’s much admired lecture notes has been owned by more than two million medical students, doctors, and other health professionals around the globe. Carefully updated content 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.

Davidson’s serves 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.

• Part 1: Fundamentals of Medicine covers the principles of genetics, immunology, infectious diseases, population health, oncology and pain management, along with the core principles behind clinical decision-making and good prescribing. The Immunology chapter has a new section on biologic agents to ground these therapies in basic science
• Part 2: Emergency and Critical Care Medicine covers poisoning and envenomation, medicine in austere environments, common presentations in acute medicine and the recognition and management of the critically ill
• Part 3: Clinical Medicine covers the major medical specialties, each thoroughly revised and brought fully up to date. HIV/AIDS and stroke medicine has been fully integrated into the Infectious Disease and Neurology chapters, respectively, to improve readability. The chapter on Pain, Palliative, and Supportive Care contains new guidance on the management of chronic pain
• Clinical Examination overviews summarise the main elements for each system; 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 resident 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
• Extensive illustrations include more than 1,000 diagrams, clinical photographs, and radiology and pathology images
• Latest radiology images have been incorporated throughout the book, aided by a new, dedicated Davidson’s Imaging Editor
• The global perspective is enhanced by an International Advisory Board of experts from 11 countries and by leading authors from around the world
• Interactive self-assessment material in the accompanying eBook includes more than 150 questions and answers that test your understanding of chapter key points and help you prepare for exams
