Siegenthaler's Differential Diagnosis in Internal Medicine

A pragmatic approach to differential diagnosis gives rapid, reliable answers to these questions: Which diseases are likely? What causes them? What are the typical characteristics of these disorders? Do they correspond with the symptoms in question? How can the preliminary diagnosis be confirmed? Siegenthaler’s new Differential Diagnosis in Internal Medicine guides the reader through the challenges of differential diagnosis across the spectrum of internal medicine. Professor Walter Siegenthaler brings decades of international experience in clinical practice, teaching and writing on internal medicine to this new book. The book also benefits from close cooperation with the leaders of the specialist internal medicine departments at the University Hospital Z..rich, and of other institutions and disciplines. The generalist and specialist aspects of internal medicine are thereby brought together to enhance the approach to the patient. The book is directed at medical students, residents in most areas of medicine, practitioners of internal medicine, general practitioners, dermatologists, neurologists and rheumatologists and those involved with the basic subjects in medicine who wish to gain competence and knowledge in internal medicine.

Medical MasterClass (MRCP) Interactive Cases CD 1

The two Medical Masterclass CD-ROMs contain a total of 60 interactive case scenarios each. Each case study takes you through the full process of patient examination and history taking, differential diagnosis, ordering of tests, procedures (costs and time scales are included), management and final diagnosis. Each case is submitted for immediate expert comment and notes accompany the correct diagnosis in each case.

Example Process
*The opening screen invites the user to select a case from the list of case descriptions.
*Once the case has been selected, the learning objectives are defined and further instructions are given.
*The user is given a brief history and is able to assemble a more detailed history via menu options.
*A full patient examination can be undertaken.
*Once the history and examination procedures are complete, the user is asked to make initial diagnosis.
*Tests can be ordered. Time scales and costs are given for tests with immediate results.
*Treatment procedures can be ordered on the basis of test results. A summary of progress is given in response to the treatment ordered.
*A summary of the results of all tests and procedures ordered is given together with the cost.
*Based on all the assembled information, the user is asked to make a final diagnosis.
*The case study concludes with a description of the correct diagnosis or diagnoses and the user is marked. The time in which the case study was completed is recorded.
*The format is remarkably close to real life: you must start making management decisions before all of the test results are available. All case scenarios are fully illustrated and include self-assessment questions, and most cases include patient video materials.
Requires Microsoft Windows 2000, XP or Vista. Quick time included inside.

Neurological Differential Diagnosis: A Prioritized Approach

Neurology is primarily characterized by a variety of diseases which seem very similar and are therefore difficult to distinguish between. Skill at differential diagnosis is therefore absolutely paramount.

Neurological Differential Diagnosis is a streamlined handbook of prioritized differential diagnosis, to be used both in clinical practice and for exam review.
By presenting differential diagnosis in order of frequency and importance, this book provides a practical handbook for clinicians in training, as well as a potential resource for quick board review. Whilst the book covers the most important syndromes and disease entities, readers are referred to other texts for more exhaustive differentials. By limiting differentials in this way – to the most likely and most serious diagnoses – the reader can more easily recall relevant disease processes when faced with a particular clinical situation, whether it be a patient in the emergency room or a difficult question on the board examination.
The book specifically targets neurology residents and fellows, with overlap to neurosurgery and psychiatry. Internal medicine physicians with an interest in neurological problems and medical students looking for an edge in clinical neuroscience would also benefit from this text.
The content is primarily mid-level material, in a pedagogic format.
In order to organize the students’ thought processes concise tables and line drawing templates are included. The book is organized into broad chapters by type of disorder and some overlap occurs between particular chapters.

A Clinician's Guide to Dermatologic Differential Diagnosis (Encyclopedia of Differential Diagnosis in Dermatology)

Volume 1: The Text
One of the most ambitious texts to be published in dermatology for some years, this is a comprehensive guide to dermatologic conditions, classified by physical findings, and referenced to current literature. There are 284 entries, arranged alphabetically. The art and science of clinical dermatology rest with the ability of the clinician to formulate an appropriate differential diagnosis by defining and synthesizing the physical findings; this book serves as a guide in that quest, and will be both educational and stimulating to dermatologists at all levels of training and practice.
Volume 1 is an extremely detailed listing of differential diagnostic possibilities, with titles such as cutis laxa-like appearance, figurative erythemas, painful tumors, or syndactyly. In the case of the more common issues such as papules, there are multiple possibilities-crusted, digital, dirty brown, distal-digital-white, facial solitary, flat-topped, and many more. Under each category, the differential diagnostic considerations are broken down into categories such as autoimmune disease, congenital disorders, drugs, exogenous agents, infections, syndromes, and other and other appropraite divisions.
