It emphasizes basic history, physical diagnosis, laboratory testing, and the understanding of evidence-based medicine in order to establish a differential diagnosis... Even the most skilled and experienced practitioner can benefit by this step-by-step approach. ...The material and its presentation alone make the book a worthwhile investment. The entire textbook is beautifully illustrated with numerous tables, graphs, photographs, and artists illustrations that are a rich resource for clinicians at any level. There are charts and tables that one would not find in a traditional textbook, such as typical odors in various diseases on page 99. This book is an excellent resource for both the fledgling and veteran clinician. It attempts to do the impossible--ie, make the enormous subject matter of internal medicine digestible. ...The material itself is presented in a clear, simplified, and approachable manner, making it user-friendly. While striving to be comprehensive, aesthetically appealing, easy to use, and simple, it comes close to hitting its mark and is a worthwhile addition for clinicians to have at their disposal.--Journal of the American Medical AssociationThe outstanding strengths are its completeness, the beautiful illustrations, and the compact presentation. Chapters usually give a succinct description of the whole differential diagnosis, together with ultrashort summaries of relevant diseases. These chapters can be perused in less than 15 min, which makes the book suitable for use in practical settings. Because of the very beautiful layout and illustrations, this book can be useful for teaching medicine. ..This book should be readily available (and used!) in every internist's practice, and even more so when students are around.--European Journal of Internal MedicineOne of the most comprehensive books on developing alternative diagnoses...The color photographs are among the best I have ever encountered...an extraordinarily helpful and authoritative book and well worth the price.--Doodys Book Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Differential Diagnosis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1 General Aspects of Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis\u003cbr\u003e 2 History, Physical Examination and Important Subjective Complaints\u003cbr\u003e 3 Skin and External Appearance\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFever\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 4 Fever\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 5 Head and Facial Pain and Neuralgia of the Head Area\u003cbr\u003e 6 Chest Pain\u003cbr\u003e 7 Abdominal Pain\u003cbr\u003e 8 Neurogenic Arm and Leg Pain\u003cbr\u003e 9 Pain Due to Vascular Disease\u003cbr\u003e 10 Pain in Joint Diseases\u003cbr\u003e 11 Localized Bone Lesions\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdema\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 12 Generalized and Localized Edema\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHematological Symptoms\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 13 Anemia\u003cbr\u003e 14 Disorders of the Lymphatic System\u003cbr\u003e 15 Bleeding Diathesis and Thrombophilic Diathesis\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDisorders of the Head and Neck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 16 Disorders of the Head and Neck\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePulmonary Symptoms\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 17 Cough, Expectoration, and Shortness of Breath\u003cbr\u003e 18 Pulmonary Opacities\u003cbr\u003e 19 Enlargement of the Hilum\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCardiac Symptoms\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 20 Dyspnea Due to Cardiovascular Diseases\u003cbr\u003e 21 Cyanosis\u003cbr\u003e 22 Arrhythmias\u003cbr\u003e 23 Systemic Arterial Hypertension\u003cbr\u003e 24 Systemic Arterial Hypotension\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGastrointestinal Symptoms\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 25 Jaundice\u003cbr\u003e 26 Dysphagia\u003cbr\u003e 27 Diarrhea\u003cbr\u003e 28 Constipation\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNephrologic Symptoms\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 29 Abnormal Renal Function\u003cbr\u003e 30 Water, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Disorders\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNeurologic Symptoms\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 31 Vertigo and Syncopal Conditions\u003cbr\u003e 32 Coma and Disturbances of Consciousness\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDifferential Diagnosis of Laboratory Test Results\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 33 Differential Diagnosis of Laboratory Test Results\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thieme Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49416503460183,"sku":"9783131421418","price":57.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783131421418.jpg?v=1730530049","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/differential-diagnosis-in-internal-medicine-from-symptom-to-diagnosis-9783131421418","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
