Il laboratorio entra "nella tasca" del medico, lo accompagna e dialoga con lui nella sua pratica quotidiana: l'impostazione pr

Fare una corretta diagnosi è uno degli aspetti chiave della pratica medica. Il pocket di diagnosi differenziale di Raftery utilizzando l'approccio per problemi guida il medico, lo specializzando e lo studente a focalizzare in modo chiaro ed efficace le cause che sono alla base di un quadro clinico. Il testo è strutturato in tre sezioni: Presentazioni cliniche, Manifestazioni biochimiche e Manifestazioni ematologiche. Per ciascun problema clinico vengono presentate una serie di possibili cause codificate graficamente da quelle più probabili alle più rare. Vengono forniti sia suggerimenti per la raccolta dell'anamnesi suggerendo possibili correlazioni tra i dati rilevati e le cause sia indicazioni mirate per l'esame obiettivo. Vengono poi indicati gli esami da effettuare da quelli più generali a quelli specifici per arrivare ad una corretta diagnosi.

**Selected for Doody’s Core Titles® 2024 in Family Medicine** Evidence-based insights into physical signs have evolved and progressed greatly over the past few years, further defining how physical findings identify disease, solve clinical problems, and forecast patient outcomes. Evidence-Based Physical Diagnosis, 5th Edition, is an up-to-date, authoritative resource for guidance on interpreting physical signs, enabling you to determine the most appropriate physical finding to confirm a diagnosis. Incorporating more than 200 new studies, this definitive text helps you glean the most from what you hear, see, and feel at the bedside-information that, combined with modern technologic testing, will grant clinicians the keys to outstanding patient care. Emphasizes the most important physical signs needed to determine the underlying condition or disease. Internationally renowned author Dr. Steven McGee shows readers how to pare down the multiple tests needed to confirm a diagnosis, saving both the physician and patient time and money Features a reader-friendly outline format, including dozens of "EBM boxes" and accompanying "EBM ruler" illustrations Contains thorough updates from cover to cover, including new evidence on the scientific value of the Romberg test (spinal stenosis); oximeter paradoxus (cardiac tamponade); platypnea (liver disease); pupil size in red eye (acute glaucoma); hum test (hearing loss); and many more Begins each chapter with a list of Key Teaching Points, intended for readers desiring quick summaries and for teachers constructing concise bedside lessons Features a unique evidence-based calculator online that enables you to easily determine probability using likelihood ratios Enhanced eBook version included with purchase, which allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices

Innovations in technology have hugely enhanced the diagnostic capabilities of today's practising clinicians. Yet the traditional art of detecting clinical signs through expert examination techniques remains a fundamental competence for training and practising clinicians, central to the delivery of safe and effective patient care. This first edition of Macleod's Essential Examination provides an innovative, concise account of each body system examination, delivering the information in a compact, portable format for use at home and in the clinical environment. It can be used in conjunction with the more extensive and hugely successful 'parent' textbook Macleod's Clinical Examination, with which it is closely integrated, or as a stand-alone aide-memoire. This quick-reference, highly practical guide will assist in preparation for OSCEs and in clinical practice. Each chapter follows a consistent format, opening with typical OSCE scenarios followed by a concise 'point by point' examination template. This is then expanded with a detailed description of each aspect of the examination process, including specific instructions around technique and information about key clinical signs to consider. Exam tips are also provided, along with typical questions likely to be asked during an OSCE. Answers are given are at the end of each chapter, making it an invaluable resource for both self-assessment and in peer-to-peer learning. The book provides a standardised framework for examination of all the major body systems. Using a novel tabular approach the book provides a clear set of guidelines on what to do at each stage of the clinical examination. It also reminds the reader what are the corresponding key points to think about and sets out associated exam tips. The exam tips are subsequently linked to potential examiner's questions. Each system ends with a reminder of how to present the findings and relevant tips to maximise your success.
