Despite the advent of powerful technological advances, the cornerstone of patient care remains the history and physical examination. In this era of lab tests and, in a system dominated by "adult medicine," the special approach to the unique examination of infants and children is often lost. In the Handbook of Pediatric Physical and Clinical Diagnosis, respected pediatrician Lewis Barness and noted pediatrician and pathologist Enid Gilbert-Barness present descriptions and guidelines for the examination of the pediatric patient in an objective, analytical, and humanistic manner. With concise, clearly written text covering both common and difficult diagnoses, and aided by a wealth of tables, charts, and illustrations, this new edition includes more information on differential diagnosis, and has a new fresh look.

This book has been designed to help the practicing clinician to appropriately select and interpret diagnostic tests without the burden of information useful only to the pathologist or laboratory. In outline format with tables and charts, the book presents a large volume of information that can be quickly reviewed. The focus is on diagnosing diseases and the table of contents is organized by system or disease rather than tests performed.
A Brandon-Hill recommended title.

This major new two volume reference provides a comprehensive scientific and clinical review of the metabolic diseases, including clinical symptomatology, cardinal manifestations, molecular genetics, pathology and laboratory diagnostic features. There are thorough chapters on the major categories of disorders of metabolism as well as on various diagnostic approaches, prenatal diagnosis, and gene therapy. Pertinent information is presented in tables that highlight the text and by many illustrations liberally used throughout. Most tables include the six-digit numbers used in McKusick's Catalog of Genetic Diseases: Mendelian Inheritance in Man. 
The emphasis throughout this text is on clinical and pathologic expression of disease. The authors' primary aim, in conforming with the Osler tradition, is to present observed clinical phenomena along with the underlying physiologic and pathologic changes with regard to pertinent new discoveries in metabolism, including developments in molecular genetics. 
This text presents important new information and should be a ready, useful reference source to the pediatrician, internist, pathologist, clinical geneticist, and other physicians and scientists interested in metabolic diseases.
