Preface

This is the first medical book that takes the health of its readers seriously because the health of one person (a patient) should not be bought at the expense of another (your doctor).

It is a disturbing paradox that when we study medicine our health can be forgotten, with long hours of hard work, often without joy or sustenance, since our health is affected by the weight of an overloaded curriculum (no doubt because we are overstimulated by the too many receptors, organs, and systems, of which we know too much.

What can a book do about this dilemma? While we strive to guide you through the realms of specialties with a concise overview of what you need to know, we also excel in developing your skills beyond pure facts, as they can be quickly forgotten. We want to give the mind anecdotes that remind you of the value of your hard work to inspire you and motivate you to learn more.

They are the peculiarities of medicine that we remember best; The bits that make you smile and that you realize that the work we do can be truly inspiring. The symbol of the spiral [] throughout the book, and at the beginning of each chapter, is your reminder to connect and enjoy your patients.

Discover what is important to them and, in doing so, make a real difference in their health and well-being. Few people receive such a privileged view of another person’s life. Few other professions can reflect on their day, and from the mundane, the routine, even the stressful, can produce episodes so attractive or stimulating their encounters at work.

We also hope that our writings will inspire you so that you can continue working. Do not think that the work of a student or a junior doctor goes unnoticed: you are in the ideal position to make astute and objective observations without leaving aside the previous luggage. Two medical students were instrumental in the voyage of discovery of insulin: in 1869, German student Paul Langerhans found groups of cells in the pancreas whose function was unknown, but later proved to be insulin-producing cells.

The work of Canadian student Charles Best with Frederick Banting led to the discovery of insulin in 1921, a miraculous treatment for a previously feared and deadly disease.

Review

It’s changeover day, you’re on the special baby care unit for the first time ever…what you want is the paediatric equivalent of the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine to help steer you through the rapids of paediatrics…this handbook…gives succinct guidance [and] is the book I want in my back pocket on changeover day. (C K Bird, Archives of Diseases in Childhood)

Synopsis

An exciting new addition to the Oxford Handbook Series, the Oxford Handbook of Paediatrics provides a compact guide to all aspects of acute and chronic paediatrics. The Handbook’s team of specialist contributors and editors have successfully condensed many years of clinical experience into a pocket-sized compendium of clinical problems and treatment options. Taking a ‘child-centred’ approach to the subject, the authors have provided comprehensive coverage of areas such as neonatology, surgery, genetics and congenital malformations and child protection in a user-friendly and succinct style. Sections are also devoted to covering the treatment of children in the community, and the psychological effects of illness on both the child and their family. With practical advice and space for personalised notes, this handbook will be invaluable to all those involved in the care of the younger patient. A ‘must have’ resource at all stages of training and in various clinical practice settings.

Preface

The first ‘boke’ of pediatrics printed in English was written by Thomas Phaire (1510-1560), a man from East Anglia who studied medicine at the University of Oxford. The book had 56 pages, measured 3 7/8 inches (9.8 cm) by 2 5/8 inches (6.7 cm) and was covered. . . innumerable passions and diseases, so that the body of man is subject, and in addition, in general, the tender age of children is irritated and greedy with these diseases.

Costume of the brain, swelling of the head. . . ‘ 1 In 1553, the “innumerable passions and diseases” reached 39 presenting clinical problems. As doctors, we met and worked for the first time in the heart of East Anglia (University of Cambridge) and now we have collaborated with Oxford University Press in this company, a new pediatric handbook. Our similarity with Thomas Phaire has not escaped us, especially because we see the importance of basing a text on common clinical problems that arise.

Our main goal is to provide a compact source of information and clinical thinking that can be used in the clinic or hospital ward, at a time when the child is being seen. The challenge, therefore, was to distill the content of the information found in several textbooks into a conveniently sized manual without the loss of important information.

We easily reached the limit in the pages they gave us, so we had to be strict in the selection of key facts crucial for clinical practice. Our intention is that the manual is used from the beginning of education in pediatrics to the general superior training in the field.

We have maintained the tradition of providing content and text that often exceed what is required by the generalist; We believe it is important that students and readers see the full picture. There are spaces where you can add more conference notes, other readings, and personal experiences.

This is destined. It means that the manual can be personal, develop it with you and use it in any practice you choose: hospitalist, generalist, or community and family practice. Above all, we hope that the manual will give you the confidence to handle pediatric clinical problems effectively and safely.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Review from previous edition: “Oxford Handbook of Prehospital Care: …a concise book which is targeted directly to our profession…this one book is directly focused on the workings of the medic outside of a hospital environment. Just what you need out on the road, when you never know what
the next emergency will be.”

–Jeff Pittman, Paramedic.

“This handy and superbly presented pocket sized book is ideal for quick reference providing essential information on the immediate care setting. The authors are of unquestionable experience in the field of emergency medicine and…the book is both comprehensive and concise…[it] must surely
become an essential piece of kit for all pre-hospital care practitioners, replacing the bulky American books which have dominated the market.”

–Accident and Emergency Nursing

“A useful reference for those involved in prehospital care of patients…this book addresses many areas of prehospital care and is thorough in what it covers.”

–Krista G. Handyside, MD, University of Texas Medical School at Houston

“Having recently purchased the new Oxford Handbook of Accident and Emergency Medicine, I would like to say that it is an excellent update. As a Specialist Registrar . . . I am involved in training all new AandE doctors and will recommend this book highly.”

–Dr Reshad Khodabocus, St James’s Hospital, Leeds, July 2005

“The 1st edition (published 1999) has become the “Bible” of Emergency care for many practitioners working in this field – Doctors, Nurses, Paramedics etc… I used it throughout my Specialist Registrar training as both an “on the spot” diagnostic tool but also as a reference aid for my FRCS
and FFAEM. There’s a lot more in it than you think! The second edition has built on and consolidated all that was good in the 1st edition but added some new sections and expanded others. It includes up to date information and references… I would not only recommend but also INSIST that all
practitioners… in emergency care read and used this handbook. It would also be useful to Doctors in almost all specialties including General Practice, General Surgery and General Medicine.”

–Medical Defence Union

“…an essential book of reference…[and] an indispensable tool and survival guide to anyone working within emergency medicine…[it should be] accessible and in easy reach of all staff working within the emergency department.”

–Accident and Emergency Nursing Journal

“…this book is a must-have for anyone wanting to become the next doctor to ride in the shiny red HEMS helicopter on his/her way to an emergency…Stimulating reading for anyone interested in emergency medicine.”

–MAD (Barts and the London Med Student Journal)

Description

Now in its tenth edition, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine has been fully revised, with five new authors on the writing team bringing content fresh from the bedside. Space has been breathed into the design, with more core material at your fingertips in quick-reference lists and flow diagrams, and key references have been honed to the most up-to-date and relevant. Each page has been updated to reflect the latest changes in practice and best management, and the chapters on gastroenterology, history and examination, infectious disease, neurology, and radiology have been extensively revised. Unique among medical texts, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine is a complete and concise guide to the core areas of medicine that also encourages thinking about the world from the patient’s perspective, offering a holistic, patient-centred approach. Loved and trusted by millions for over three decades, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine continues to be a truly indispensable companion for the practice of modern medicine.

Preface

This is the first edition of the book without any of the original authors: Tony Hope and Murray Longmore. Both have now moved to other things and enjoy a well-deserved break from authorship.

In this book, I am accompanied by a nephrologist, a gastroenterologist and people in training for a career in cardiology, dermatology, and general practice. Five doctors, experience and styles. When combined with that of our specialist and youth readers, I hope that this generates a book that is greater than the sum of its parts, but that is faithful to the original concept and the spirit of the original authors.

Life and medicine have advanced in the 30 years since the first edition was published, but medicine and science are largely iterative; The novel discoveries, “innovators” or “that change the practices” are rare, to quote Isaac Newton: “If I have seen more, it is on the shoulders of giants”.

Therefore, when we decided to write this edition, we were inspired by the original book and its authors; Update, add and clarify, but try to preserve the feeling and perspective that the OHCM has provided to the generations of trained and clinical.

Description

The Oxford Textbook of Medicine is the foremost international textbook of medicine. Unrivaled in its coverage of the scientific aspects and clinical practice of internal medicine and its subspecialties, it is a fixture in the offices and wards of physicians around the world. More comprehensive, more authoritative, and more international than any other textbook, it focuses on offering practical guidance on clinical management and the prevention of disease. 

Three introductory chapters outline a philosophy which has always characterized the Oxford Textbook of Medicine. It is humane, thought-provoking, and aims to instill in readers an understanding of the role of medicine in society, and the contribution it can make to the health of populations.

As always, there is detailed coverage of all areas of internal medicine. The integration of basic science and clinical practice is unparalleled and throughout the book the implications of research for medical practice are explained. The core clinical medicine sections offer in-depth coverage of the traditional specialty areas. The Oxford Textbook of Medicine has unsurpassed details on infectious diseases: the most comprehensive coverage to be found in any textbook of medicine. Other sections of note include: pain; bioterrorism; forensic medicine; medical disorders in pregnancy; travel and expedition medicine; nutrition; the use of stem cells; regenerative medicine, and psychiatry and drug-related problems in general medical practice.

In response to detailed research, there have been substantial changes to ensure that the Oxford Textbook of Medicine continues to meet the needs of its readers. New chapter summaries give accessible overviews of the content. All 2,500 illustrations and photographs are now in full color, and a new design ensures that the textbook is easy to read and to navigate. The evidence-base and references have been entirely overhauled.

And now, for the first time, the Oxford Textbook of Medicine is available in an online edition. Containing the full text and all the figures and illustrations, the online version has a clear and easy-to-use interface with excellent navigation and search and browse options. In addition, the online edition facilitates links to sources of related and further reading via PubMed, ISI, and CrossRef. All the figures are downloadable into Powerpoint; an excellent tool when preparing presentations and lectures.

Purchasers of the print edition of the Oxford Textbook of Medicine, fifth edition, will also be able to purchase access to the online edition for a reduced rate by following the instructions given in the book.

Preface

The publication of this new edition of the Oxford textbook of medicine encourages consideration of the practices of medicine in a world facing unprecedented challenges. Here there is much to celebrate and, with many new collaborators, we have searched throughout the book to reflect the revolutionary effects of discovery in the medical sciences in clinical practice.

Dramatic advances have been made at the most fundamental level and these continue to inspire our belief that better prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease will eventually alleviate suffering. The popular term, “translational medicine,” reflects the shared optimism of many research agencies.

The fifth edition has been revised and updated rigorously. It differs more blatantly from the previous editions in terms of having the gift of color everywhere and the inclusion of “Essentials” (mostly written and all edited by John Firth) that summarize the main points of each chapter. Introductory Sections 2 and 3 include eight new chapters on topics ranging from the future of clinical trials, the evaluation and delivery of effective drugs to health promotion.

This expansion reflects the growing successes, limitations, and frustrations of modern medicine. New sciences such as the biology of stem cells and emerging pathogens such as SARS, H1N1 and drug-resistant bacteria and malaria parasites are well represented in our pages, and we have introduced some highly topical topics, particularly Medicine Darwinian and the context of human disasters.

Oxford Handbook of Expedition and Wilderness Medicine 2nd Edition PDF »

Posted on by
Reply

Preface:

Should the urge to explore, enjoy, and carry out research in wilderness environments be constrained in any way by issues of health, safety, the environment, and the well-being of the local inhabitants? We think it should, but please read on. Expedition medicine (known in North America as ‘wilderness medicine’) is concerned with maintaining physical and psychological health under the stresses and challenges of expeditions to remote and challenging places. Its aim is to encourage adventure but, at the same time, to attempt to minimize the risk of trauma and disease by proper planning, preventive measures such as vaccinations, the acquisition of relevant medical skills and sensible behaviour. Responsible attitudes towards the environment and the welfare of indigenous peoples and other local helpers in the area of travel are also of great importance. This book is a product of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) Expedition Medicine Cell, which was formed to provide medical advice to RGS-IBG expeditions and those seeking advice from the Society.
In it, we have collected and summarized the experience and skills accumulated by explorers, expeditioners, researchers, and remote area travellers from all around the world. The first edition, published in 2008, was designed to be a practical and portable guide to the prevention and treatment of those medical problems most likely to be encountered in extreme and remote environments. We are delighted that it proved so popular and has been used during the course of expeditions by doctors, nurses, paramedics, and first-aiders, as well as by non-medical expedition members. The second edition builds upon this foundation, but includes additional topics. Since prevention of disease and accident is fundamental to working in remote and potentially hazardous areas, the sections on risk management have been expanded. To help decision-making, we include more treatment algorithms. We recognize that travel in remote areas is no longer limited to the young, fit, and experienced traveller. Historically, exploration and wilderness travel have proved distinctly dangerous. Admiral Anson circumnavigated the globe in 74–742, losing five of his six ships and 626 of his 96 crew, a disaster eventually mitigated by the capture of a Spanish treasure ship which left him and his surviving sailors wealthy men. All 24 members of Sir John Franklin’s ill-fated voyage to the North-West passage died. During Stanley’s great trans-Africa expedition from Zanzibar to the Congo (874–847), 4 of his original 228 expedition members died from battle, murder, smallpox, dysentery,

100 Hand Cases 1st Edition PDF Free Download
Preface:

Over the course of the past 15 years at our respective institutions—Washington University and Stanford University—we have had the honor and pleasure of training hundreds of medical students, residents (both orthopedic and plastic), and hand fellows. We have found that teaching hand surgery is best done while standing in front of a patient, while looking at a radiograph, or while settling in at the operating table. The education is personal and is focused on that specific hand problem. The scope of hand and upper extremity surgery—from the shoulder to the fingertip and from skin to bone—can be overwhelming. However, we have realized that many themes repeat; the same hand problems present over and over. We decided that most of the core principles in hand surgery can be presented in 100 illustrative case examples. This book, 100 Hand Cases, attempts to cover these key principles of hand surgery with straightforward treatment of classic hand problems. This book will be an easy read. Only one photo per chapter is shown on purpose, and the presentation and treatment of each problem are concise. It is exactly what we discuss with our students, residents, and fellows in several focused minutes at the bedside or operating table. This book is designed for the learner to have an overview of the entire spectrum of hand surgery and to become familiar and comfortable with the most common hand problems. Key articles are listed for those who wish to delve deeper.

Special thanks to Julia Roeder Chang and Angela Sotelo for your wonderful transcription, editing, and organization. We hope this book will give surgeons of every level confidence in treating the myriad clinical presentations that make up the extraordinary field of hand surgery.
