Description

This handbook is a multi-authored work with many years of presence in the field of medical books worldwide and, of course, with the corresponding recognition. The physical size of the book and the volume of information it contains are inversely proportional; thus, the reader will have at their disposal a handy manual that they can refer to at any time, even during their active practice in medicine of any specialty, not just during study.

The text is divided into 21 chapters, in which an effort is made to cover all the topics that a clinical physician may encounter. The first chapter addresses decision-making regarding the management and course of the patient, followed by therapeutic approaches and prescribing. Chapters that deal with emergency medicine, poisoning, and infectious diseases follow. Separate chapters focus on the individual systems of the human body, while the last three address aging, oncology, and laboratory tests, topics that are crucial in modern medical practice.

The formatting of the book is another point of reference that does not go unnoticed, as tables, boxes, and color illustrations promote the transfer of knowledge and, combined with the simple and understandable language, make this book absolutely successful and relevant, a guidebook for both students and modern physicians.
