The third edition of this best-selling practical handbook of clinical medicine has been redesigned to make it even easier to use, not only for fast, reliable reference under pressure -- on the ward, in the clinic, and in the lecture theatre -- but also for detailed information on general medical problems, surgery and emergencies. Now in four colors, the text has been extensively revised and updated, including two completely new chapters on oncology and radiology and a separate easy-to-use emergency section. Blank pages provide ample space for readers' notes and the update boxes published in the British Medical Journal (also available by fax and electronic mail). This pocket-sized handy reference, familiar to countless readers, is packed with facts and practical advice in an easily accessible format, making it an essential, reliable companion for every doctor.

This book, now it its third edition, is the sequel to the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine; together, these volumes cover the entire range of clinical medicine. The Oxford Textbook of Clinical Specialties is an invaluable, quick reference for those taking up their first responsibilities in the major specialties of clinical medicine, whether as a medical student, an intern, or a resident in family practice. Doctors in training require such a comprehensive but concise guide to prompt them to ask the right questions, to advise them on which preliminary diagnosis to make, which investigations to request, and how to institute the correct treatment before experienced help arrives. This book is not merely a compendium of causes and recipes for treatments. It provides sufficient background information for useful understanding of a subject to the student who has never encountered a given problem before. In this edition a new chapter on anesthesia has been added, and the section on gynecology has been completely rewritten for this edition. There are several new topics including: prenatal diagnosis, advice to parents after stillbirth, delay in talking, talking to parents about mortal illness, useful points for relatives of demented patients, managing obesity, adult height and weight charts, squint diagnosis, management of corneal ulcers, and obtaining and preparing eyedrops.

The new edition of the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine is the best yet. It has been completely reset in more readable type, it contains more diagrams and boxes and completely new chapters. But, most important, has been the meticulous updating of each page with the best that evidence-based medicine can offer. Concise, readable, and authoritative, the text is a model of everything a Handbook should be. But it is more than model -- it is the one trusted friend found in white coat pockets the world over - now reborn in new colours with a new full-colour plate section and a wealth of new material. This Handbook is associated with its own web site, and widely acclaimed updateable electronic version (the Oxford Clinical Mentor). Thus Oxford University Press offers a complete system for updateable clinical information. New topics for this edition include: surviving house jobs, medical ethics, assessing the locomotor system, the role of jargon, facial pain, walking difficulty, help for patients with Alzheimer's and their carers, fundoplation, somatization, exotic infections, what every doctor needs to know about HIV, anti-HIV drugs in detail, numbers-needed-to-treat, screening, cardiovascular health, Candida in ITU, posteria myocardial infarction, atheroma and the mechanism and action of statin drugs.
