Macleod's Clinical Diagnosis by Alan
Japp, Colin Robertson
Macleod's
Clinical Diagnosis demonstrates how
to apply the core clinical skills
learned from the companion textbook
Macleod's Clinical Examination to
maximum advantage. Charting the
course from routine work-up to
diagnosis, this book presents a
modern and realistic approach to
clinical assessment and explains how
to integrate information obtained
from the history, examination,
bedside tests and specialized
investigations.
The first section
Principles of clinical assessment
examines different approaches to
diagnosis, reviews the fundamental
elements necessary for accurate
patient assessment, provides a
helpful template for a 'routine
workup' and describes how to adapt
the assessment to fit the clinical
context.
The second core section
of the book Assessment of common
presenting problems contains a
series of 'diagnostic guides' that
lead the reader, step-by-step
through the major presenting
problems in medicine and surgery,
explaining how to recognize red flag
features, eliminate life -
threatening conditions and generate
a logical differential diagnosis.
This book has been praised as an
invaluable resource for senior
medical students and junior doctors
as they attempt to make the
difficult transition from mastering
basic clinical skills to assessing
patients in the real world of
clinical medicine.
A unique book
allowing a reader to apply the
skills of clinical examination in
the formulation of a differential
diagnosis and placing a patient's
symptoms in context.
Takes a
problem-based approach to diagnostic
reasoning, reflecting both modern
medical and current educational
practices.
Builds on the clinical
skills outlined in the companion
Macleod's Clinical Examination
textbook.
For this Second Edition
the text has been expanded with five
new topics covering nausea and
vomiting; vaginal bleeding; red eye;
urinary incontinence; and weight
loss.
