Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Skin complaints fill primary care appointments and get a fraction of the training time. This handbook is written for the clinician who has ten minutes, a patient with a rash, and no dermatologist in the building. Across 17 chapters and 450 pages it works through the dermatology a generalist actually sees: the eczemas and psoriasis, acne and rosacea, urticaria and drug reactions, bacterial, fungal and viral infection, scabies and infestation, benign growths and the reassurance decision, photodamage and keratinocyte carcinoma, early melanoma recognition, hair, nail and mucosal disease, and the urgent presentations in which delay causes real harm. What makes it usable at the point of decision- Every chapter opens with an undiagnosed case written the way a consultation actually presents, and closes by working it through in full.- Five recurring panels carry the material that does not belong in prose: CLINICAL PEARL, RED FLAG, MECHANISM SPOTLIGHT, PRESCRIBING RATIONALE, and DIFFERENTIAL COMPASS.- 93 comparison tables built to be read at a glance, and in front of a patient.- 85 instructional figures, one for every numbered section, showing either the anatomy that explains a finding or the examination technique performed correctly.- The adjustments needed across the full range of skin tones are stated in every chapter where a condition is described, not confined to one chapter at the back.- Conditions are named descriptively rather than by eponym, so the name tells you what the thing is; where an eponym is still in daily use it is given alongside.- Appendices covering drug classes by mechanism, laboratory reference intervals, topical corticosteroid potency in both the four-group and seven-class systems, and quantity estimation by fingertip unit.Written for family medicine, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and any clinician who manages skin disease without a specialist down the corridor. Generic drug names throughout. References in APA style to the standard texts and current guidelines. This book is an educational reference for qualified healthcare professionals. It is not a substitute for clinical judgement, formal training, or specialist advice, and every clinical statement in it should be verified against current local guidance before it is applied to a patient.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A working reference for the first thirty minutes, written for clinicians who have to decide before the picture is complete. Critical care and emergency medicine are practised under time pressure, with incomplete information, on patients who are changing while you assess them. This handbook is built for that reality. Across 16 chapters it works through the reasoning that governs acute decisions: not what the guideline says, but why it says it, where it stops applying, and what the patient in front of you is actually doing. What is inside- 469 pages at 8.5 x 11 inches in paperback, 479 pages at 8.25 x 11 in hardcover, both in a full colour interior- 80 photorealistic clinical figures, one for every numbered section- 95 structured decision tables and 142 clinical feature panels- Bedside Pearl, Red Flag, Mechanism Spotlight, Drug Rationale and Differential Compass panels throughout- Full back matter: drug class reference, normal values, clinical glossary, decision summaries by presenting problem, and a detailed indexCoverage Recognition of the deteriorating patient. Airway management and rapid sequence intubation. Shock states and haemodynamic support. Oxygen delivery and respiratory failure. Mechanical ventilation and lung-protective strategy. Fluids, electrolytes and acid-base disorders. Sepsis and septic shock. Cardiac emergencies. Renal failure and replacement therapy. Neurological emergencies and raised intracranial pressure. Metabolic and endocrine crises. Haemorrhage, transfusion and coagulopathy. Trauma resuscitation. Toxicology and the toxidromes. Recovery, weaning and the consequences of critical illness. Every chapter opens with a patient Each chapter begins with a clinical presentation and ends by resolving it, showing which findings mattered, which decisions were wrong, and what the numbers were saying before anyone read them. A deliberate omission There are no practice questions, examination-style items or knowledge checks anywhere in this book. The space they would occupy is given to extended case reasoning, mechanism, and pharmacological rationale instead. There are also no flowcharts: clinical pathways are presented as structured prose and tables, because a flowchart can be followed without being understood. Intended readers Emergency physicians and registrars, intensivists and critical care trainees, acute care and critical care nurses, advanced practice providers, paramedics in critical care transport, and anyone covering an acute take. This book is an educational reference. It is not a substitute for clinical judgement, institutional protocol, or the current prescribing information. Verify all doses and criteria locally before application.…
