Description and Table of Contents
Description
This textbook has been completely rewritten and reillustrated, with over 400 colour pictures. It adopts a problem-orientated approach and relates the clinical detail to the basic science. This new edition reflects the advances in the understanding of the pathology of disease. While incorporating the modern scientific approach to medicine, based on pathogenesis rather than the treatment of symptoms, the book emphasizes practical clinical management. This book should be of interest to clinical medical undergraduates, postgraduate medical students and general practitioners. An ELBS edition is available.
