Davidson's Principles and Practice
of Medicine
More than two million
medical students, doctors and other
health professionals around the
globe have owned a copy of
Davidson's Principles and Practice
of Medicine since it was first
published. Now in its 23rd Edition,
this textbook describes the
pathophysiology and clinical
features of the most frequently
encountered conditions in the major
specialties of adult medicine and
explains how to recognize,
investigate, diagnose and manage
them. Taking its origins from Sir
Stanley Davidson's much-admired
lecture notes, Davidson's has
endured because it keeps pace with
how modern medicine is taught and
provides a wealth of information in
an easy-to-read, concise and
beautifully illustrated format. This
book will serve 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.
The opening section describes the
fundamentals of genetics,
immunology, infectious diseases and
population health, and discusses the
core principles of clinical
decision-making and good
prescribing.
A new second section
on emergency and critical care
medicine encompasses poisoning,
envenomation and environmental
medicine, and introduces a new
chapter on acute medicine and
critical illness.
The third
section covers the major medical
specialties, each thoroughly revised
and brought fully up to date. Two
new chapters on maternal and
adolescent/transition medicine
complement the one on aging and
disease. A new chapter on medical
ophthalmology has been included.
Clinical Examination overviews
summarize the main elements for each
system and now feature in the
biochemistry, nutrition and
dermatology chapters.
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 junior doctors must
acquire.
Emergency boxes
emphasize 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
pediatric services.
The text is
extensively illustrated, with over
1000 diagrams, clinical photographs,
and radiology and pathology images.
The global perspective is enhanced
by an International Advisory Board
of experts from 17 countries, and by
authors from around the world.
The new second section on emergency
and critical care medicine
introduces a significantly expanded
and comprehensive account of the
approaches to dealing with acute
medical and critical illness.
Two
new chapters on maternal and
adolescent/transition medicine
complement the one on aging and
disease by addressing problems
encountered at key stages of
patients' lives.
A new chapter on
medical ophthalmology has been
included as a direct response to
readers' requests.
The opening
chapter has been completely
rewritten with a new focus on the
important principles of clinical
decision-making or clinical
reasoning.
A new internal text
design for this 23rd Edition
provides a simpler and clearer
presentation of the various
categories of text boxes.
