Book SynopsisTrade Review"One of the strengths of this book is the educational format, which promotes gradual learning, yet it also provides a quick reference with its diagnostic charts and algorithms and its comprehensive index. The case studies and reviews are methods that ensure clinical application of the information, and the integration of margin notes and colored key point boxes assists in clarifying the information." - Taha Ayach, MD (University of Kentucky College of Medicine) for Doody's Review Services
