Kaup valmöguleikar
Frá því að Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine kom fyrst út fyrir 75 árum hefur bókin þróast í takt við kennslu í nútímalæknisfræði. Hún miðlar miklu magni áreiðanlegra upplýsinga á hnitmiðuðu og auðlæsilegu máli, með vönduðum myndskreytingum. Þessi sígilda bók, sem á rætur að rekja til rómaðra fyrirlestrarnótna Sir Stanley Davidson, er nú komin út í 25. útgáfu og hefur verið í eigu meira en tveggja milljóna læknanema, lækna og annarra heilbrigðisstarfsmanna um allan heim.
Vandlega uppfært efni lýsir meinalífeðlisfræði og klínískum einkennum algengustu sjúkdóma og kvilla innan helstu sérgreina lyflækninga. Jafnframt er útskýrt hvernig bera má kennsl á þá, rannsaka, greina og meðhöndla. Davidson’s er kjarnanámsbók sem samþættir læknavísindi og klíníska læknisfræði og miðlar lykilþekkingu og hagnýtum ráðleggingum á skýran og aðgengilegan hátt.
- 1. hluti, Fundamentals of Medicine, fjallar um grundvallaratriði erfðafræði, ónæmisfræði, smitsjúkdóma, lýðheilsu, krabbameinslækninga og verkjameðferðar, auk meginreglna klínískrar ákvarðanatöku og ábyrgrar lyfjaávísunar. Í kaflanum um ónæmisfræði er nýr undirkafli um líftæknilyf sem tengir þessar meðferðir við grunnvísindi.
- 2. hluti, Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, fjallar um eitranir og eiturbit, læknisþjónustu við erfiðar og úrræðalitlar aðstæður, algeng bráð einkenni og hvernig bera má kennsl á og meðhöndla sjúklinga í lífshættu.
- 3. hluti, Clinical Medicine, fjallar um helstu sérgreinar læknisfræðinnar. Allir kaflar hafa verið endurskoðaðir ítarlega og uppfærðir.
Umfjöllun um HIV/alnæmi og heilablóðfall hefur verið felld inn í kaflana um smitsjúkdóma og taugalækningar til að bæta læsileika. Kaflinn um verki, líknarmeðferð og stuðningsmeðferð inniheldur nýjar leiðbeiningar um meðhöndlun langvinnra verkja.
- Yfirlit yfir klíníska skoðun draga saman helstu atriði fyrir hvert líffærakerfi.
- Kaflar um algeng viðfangsefni sýna skýra leið við mat á og nálgun að algengustu kvörtunum innan hverrar sérgreinar.
- Samantektir um hagnýt atriði lýsa þeirri verklegu færni sem læknanemar og aðstoðarlæknar þurfa að tileinka sér.
- Sérmerktir rammar um bráðatilvik leggja áherslu á þá grunnþekkingu sem þarf við meðferð bráðveikra sjúklinga.
- Rammar um aldraða, þungaðar konur og ungmenni draga fram hvernig læknisþjónusta er ólík fyrir þessa sjúklingahópa og sýna tengsl læknisfræði við fæðingarhjálp og barnalækningar.
- Yfirgripsmikið myndefni inniheldur meira en 1.000 skýringarmyndir, klínískar ljósmyndir og myndir úr geisla- og meinafræði.
- Nýjustu myndgreiningarmyndir hafa verið felldar inn í alla bókina undir umsjón sérstaks myndgreiningarritstjóra Davidson’s.
- Alþjóðlegt sjónarhorn bókarinnar er styrkt með ráðgjafarnefnd sérfræðinga frá ellefu löndum og leiðandi höfundum víðs vegar að úr heiminum.
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 sciencePart 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 illPart 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 painClinical 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 servicesExtensive illustrations include more than 1,000 diagrams, clinical photographs, and radiology and pathology imagesLatest radiology images have been incorporated throughout the book, aided by a new, dedicated Davidson’s Imaging EditorThe global perspective is enhanced by an International Advisory Board of experts from 11 countries and by leading authors from around the worldInteractive 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.
