This concise textbook of medicine is written for undergraduate medical students, dental students and those training in nursing and other health care specialities. The book covers all aspects of general medicine with introductory chapters on basic sciences and the skills needed by modern practitioners. Throughout the book care has been taken to present material in a way that is accessible to students starting their medical training. The text has been carefully edited for clarity and where possible illustrations, tables and lists of key points are used to highlight important topics. The clinical chapters stress the presentation, diagnosis and management of all common conditions, including tropical and imported diseases. Most chapters start with the basic aspects of symptoms, signs and investigations before covering the clinical disorders themselves. In addition, descriptions of underlying molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms are provided in order to place the clinical situations in their scientific settings. Principles of Clinical Medicine provides a comprehensive and lively introduction to the study of medicine for all students of the health sciences.
