Description
A New Edition for a new century! The latest version of Cecil delivers a fully integrated approach to the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of virtually every medical condition. Renowned authorities have meticulously revised this classic text to ensure it reflects the current state of the field. The new edition is concise, complete, highly readable, well illustrated - and a must for every successful practitioner. Features: * Continues to emphasise pathophysiology and a solid understanding of the disease process as the foundation for effective treatment * Features special sections on major concerns of the modern physician, including genetics, nutrition, public health, managed care and AIDS. New to this edition: * Explains the clinical relevance of advances in molecular and cellular biology and how this 'new science' applies to patient care. * Emphasises the application of evidence-based medicine to clinical decision-making. * Sythesizes key issues in the care of female patients in a brand new section on Women's Health (Section 18). * Integrates new discussions of ethical and social issues, geriatrics and ageing, as well as expanded coverage of evaluation and management.
* Features extensive revisions to the cardiology, neurology, endocrinology and hematology/oncology sections. * New emphasis on flow diagrams makes diagnosis and management easier * EYE section has been replaced by one of Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders, (Part 26) with a new chapter Head and Neck Tumors (Ch 501).
