Goldmann-Cecil Medicina Interna è la miglior risorsa per la medicina interna disponibile dal 1927. La 25a edizione di Goldmann-Cecil Medicina Interna offre una guida completa e obiettiva per la valutazione e la gestione di ogni condizione medica. Aggiornato in ogni sua parte, anche in questa edizione ha mantenuto la medesima impostazione presentandosi come un testo esaustivo che spiega attentamente il perché (la fisiopatologia che sta alla base della malattia) e il come (ad oggi basato sull’evidenza a partire da studi clinici randomizzati e meta-analisi) degli argomenti affrontati. Le descrizioni della fisiologia e della fisiopatologia includono i più recenti progressi avvenuti nel campo della genetica e li espongono in un modo semplice, teso a essere utile per i non esperti. Il volume è caratterizzato da taglio pratico e da un’organizzazione schematica. L’acquisizione di nuove informazioni, abbastanza facile al giorno d’oggi, viene spesso confusa con la loro conoscenza e comprensione. Gli Autori hanno cercato di superare questo aspetto offrendo un testo che non solo convogli tutte le informazioni, ma che anche stimoli nuove domande e promuova il ragionamento clinico oltre a fornire una panoramica sulle più recenti scoperte. L’obiettivo è di guidare il lettore nella diagnosi e nella terapia, non solo per i pazienti con malattia sospetta o nota, ma anche per i pazienti che possono avere disturbi non diagnosticati e che richiedono una valutazione iniziale. Goldmann-Cecil Medicina Interna è uno strumento di apprendimento ideale per i medici internisti e gli studenti, nonché una preziosa risorsa per i professionisti della salute. Contenuti La nuova edizione contiene nuovi capitoli dedicati ai temi all’avanguardia della medicina come la salute globale, la biologia del cancro e la genetica, il microbioma umano in stato di salute e di malattia. Il volume da spazio a un'ampia trattazione dei più recenti sviluppi nel campo della biologia tra cui le specifiche per la diagnosi, la terapia e le dosi dei farmaci Oltre 1500 domande a risposta multipla aiutano nella preparazione dell’esame e permettono l’autovalutazione
