Book SynopsisFacilitates diagnostic and therapeutic decision making for a wide range of common and often complex problems faced in outpatient and inpatient medicine. This title features comprehensive algorithmic decision trees that guide you through more than 245 disorders organized by sign, symptom, problem, or laboratory abnormality.Trade Review"This book is, quite simply, a triumph.The beauty of the book is the way in which each topic has an algorithm on one page for brevity and clarity and on the opposing page the explanation with its necessary breadth and depth.This book was intriguing, enjoyable to read and represents good value for money."- David Warriner, Barnsley Hospital, Barnsley- British Journal of Hospital Medicine "While most internal medicine reference books focus on delivering information and knowledge to the reader, this one assists practitioners with the use of that knowledge. Through the use of comprehensive algorithms, it reveals how the clinical decision-making and thought process requires an organized and systematic approach. This book would be a useful reference for any medical practitioner." - Heather Huang, MD, Doody's Review Service, 4 Stars! DOODY'S BOOK REVIEW SERVICE NEW REVIEW -- MUSHLIN / Decision Making in Medicine: An Algorithmic Approach, 3rd Edition. Elsevier, 2010, Mushlin, Stuart B., MD, FACP, FACR; Greene, Harry L., II, MD, FACP Designed to facilitate the diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making process, this book consists of comprehensive algorithmic decision trees that guide readers through more than 250 disorders. Brief text accompanies each algorithm and explains the key steps of the decision-making process. The previous edition was published in 1998. The purpose is to present an organized approach to making clinical decisions. It does so by presenting various algorithms that walk readers through how to diagnostically and therapeutically approach signs, symptoms, problems, or laboratory tests that could arise in various clinical internal medicine settings. The algorithms are designed to provide readers with templates that guide the clinical decision-making and thought processes. The additional goal is to minimize unnecessary testing, control medical costs, and provide uniform quality care in the evaluation of patients. The book is written for medical practitioners, residents, medical students, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants seeking guidelines for diagnosis. It covers a wide array of general and internal medicine topics that could be encountered in both outpatient and inpatient settings. The algorithms are organized by organ systems as well as by sign, symptom, problem, or laboratory test. Each algorithm is clearly presented and comprehensively assists readers in considering a wide range of diagnoses. Short descriptions explaining the various steps in the decision-making process of the algorithms are provided on separate pages. While most internal medicine reference books focus on delivering information and knowledge to the reader, this one assists practitioners with the use of that knowledge. Through the use of comprehensive algorithms, it reveals how the clinical decision-making and thought process requires an organized and systematic approach. This book would be a useful reference for any medical practitioner. Weighted Numerical Score: 96 - 4 Stars!

Book SynopsisTrade Review"a user-friendly and comprehensive retinal atlas" "As a reference textbook predominantly consisting of images of retinal disease (and optic nerve disorders for good measure), this is a diagnostician's dream." "an essential text for eye care professionals ensuring timely diagnosis of retinal disease" "a pleasure to browse, visually attractive, easy to navigate and an encyclopaedia of retinal disease" 2017 BMA Awards: Highly Commended, Internal Medicine Praise for the previous edition... "Lawrence Yannuzzi has undertaken this colossal project and delivered a masterpiece. The Retinal Atlas is an outstanding book. It is an instant classic that I highly recommend to every retina specialist, retina fellow, and ophthalmology resident." Reviewed by JAMA. 2011;305(18):1915 Yannuzzi's new book, The Retinal Atlas, is a 900-page atlas of heroic proportion, containing thousands of illustrative clinical images... The book is in an engaging and inviting format - images and clinical pearls on every page. This book belongs in every ophthalmology department's library and academic retinal specialists' office for educating residents and fellows. It would also be an invaluable reference book for any clinical practice that encounters out-of-the-ordinary retinal diseases. The ability to view the book online is especially helpful when the atlas is not nearby." Reviewed by: American Journal of Ophthalmology (Volume 151, Issue 2, February 2011) **2010 PROSE Award Winner for Clinical Medicine.** "For eye care students and professionals in any context, this reference offers many hundreds of captioned images, presented along with diagnostic commentary, illustrating a wide range of diseases and complications. Color-coded borders identify five categories of imaging: general, fluorescein angiogram, fundus autofluorescence, indocyanine green angiogram, and red free photograph. Material is arranged in 15 chapters beginning with the normal retina and continuing with hereditary chorieoretinal dystrophies, the pediatric retina, inflammation, infection, retinal vascular disease, degeneration, oncology, macular fibrosis (and pucker, cysts, holes, folds, and edema), non-rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, peripheral degenerations, trauma, surgery complications, toxicities, and congenital anomalies of the optic nerve. Yannuzzi (Manhattan Eye Ear Throat Hospital, and Columbia U. Medical School) is credited as author, but he acknowledges contributions from nine other doctors who have helped in their areas of expertise. Purchase of the text includes access to the contents online." Reviewed by: Book News, Inc.
