Current Essentials of Surgery Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this book as a third year medical student on my surgery rotation. Although Surgical Recall has long been considered the pocket book to have on wards, I used this one as well. While I agree that Surgical Recall will save you from pimp sessions in the OR, the format is hard to read and remember the information you read for more than a couple of days. Current Essentials of Surgery is different because it presents a disease per page about the kinds of things you'll see with your patients and outlines diagnosis, treatment and clinical pearls. The book isn't meant to be a thorough study source, but hits the high points about most surgical problems. Great to pull out when you are waiting for the next case or in that rare moment of downtime! I'd still recommend getting Surgical Recall, but I think this book fills in a lot of holes that can't be addressed by the question and answer format of Recall.

Nephrology in 30 Days (30 Days Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a fourth year medical student, I can honestly say that at my school, the overwhelming consensus regarding renal physiology and nephrology is something to the effect of "Ewwww..." I had an interest in nephrology, and at the suggestion of one of our staff, I got this book and immediately loved it. It simplifies so many difficult concepts without sacrificing too much of the details. As far as I'm concerned, this book is appropriate for anyone from medical students to attending physicians. I highly recommend it to anyone interested or even confused by nephrology!

A concise review of the core principles and clinical entities associated with nephrology at the point of care.

4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW"This is an absolutely wonderful book and excellent for medical students, physician assistants, and trainees in all the medical disciplines. It differs from other handbooks or concise manuals by providing more detailed coverage of the fundamental pathophysiology and basic science behind each disorder, which facilitates understanding. The leading questions, highlighting key points in a colorful manner, the numerous figures and algorithms, and the easy-to-read style make this book rather unique. Although the width of the pages is wider than the usual handbooks and does not make this book a true "pocket" book, the larger font and the addition of all the tables and figures make it much easier to read. I highly recommend this book to students and trainees rotating on the nephrology service."--Doody's Review Service

Pathophysiology of Disease An Introduction to Clinical Medicine, Sixth Edition (Lange Medical Books) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an excellent pathophysiology book available in the market. I am right now preparing for my step 2 but I wish I would have used this book for my step 1. I have a decent score on my step 1 and I have taken the exam recently and I think if somebody masters this book they can rock the exam. This book gives excellent information regarding many diseases. I am trying to study this book right now with CMDT, which is also by the same author. Because CMDT is a very concise text book of IM it doesn't explain all the pathophysiology for a disease but this book has all the answers about the pathophysiology of a disease. And I think its a worth buying book for all the medical students, if you study this book little by little during preclinical years it will help you very much understand the IM in the clinical years. I was surprize to find some infornation which I was craving for since few years of my med school. You will even find pathophysilogy of very rare syndromes, as for example I was amazed when I read about X linked Hypophosphatemic rickets. If you are like me who wants to have explanation behind everything, get this book today, you wan't be disappointed.

The addition of the full-color diagrammatic illustrations and tables and theexpanded case studies make the e book aesthetically pleasing and easily navigable. Overall, this is a great book to have on hand for the preclinical years, clinical years, and beyond!"--Doody's Review Service

This trusted text introduces you to clinical medicine by reviewing the pathophysiologic basis of the signs and symptoms of 100 diseases commonly encountered in medical practice. Each chapter first describes normal function of a major organ or organ system, then turns attention to the pathology and disordered physiology, including the role of genetics, immunology, and infection in pathogenesis. Underlying disease mechanisms are described, along with their systems, signs, and symptoms, and the way these mechanisms themselves determine the most effective treatment.

This unique interweaving of physiological and pathological concepts will put you on the path towards thinking about signs and symptoms in terms of their pathologic basis, giving you an understanding of the "whys" behind both illness and treatment.
