Book Description
A UNIQUE TEXT THAT BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN BASIC AND CLINICAL ANATOMY Filled with 50 cases that consider 130 possible diagnoses, and more than 250 illustrations, this concise, highly accessible book is a must for medical students and professionals preparing for their courses, boards, and practice. With each chapter, you will gain insight into the fundamentals of human anatomy and--just as importantly--its relevance to actual clinical practice. Clinical Anatomy features an intuitive body region organization, which is consistent with the common instructional approach of medical gross anatomy courses. No other guide offers you the opportunity to interact with clinical conditions on a level that so closely approximates clinical practice. FEATURES A rigorous, case-based approach helps you master the basics of anatomy and apply what you have learned to real-world clinical scenarios 50 clinical cases include the patient complaint, relevant findings of the physical examination, and the signs and symptoms of related clinical problems M ore than 250 full-color ANATOMIC AL AND CLINICAL images Definitions of clinical terms presented WITH each cASE Instructive overview of the nervous system in the first chapter Logical body region organization Chapter-ending USMLE-type (clinical-vignette) review questions Helpful appendices feature a comprehensive list of clinical terms (referenced by case) and explanations of the correct answers for the review questions

Book Description
The study of human anatomy and physiology is about more than just memorizing body parts and functions. Fully comprehending the human body requires a profound understanding of functions, systems and structures, and a practical application of the facts. Applied Anatomy & Physiology is a fresh approach to teaching the fundamental principles and the practical application of those principles to your high school students. The second edition of Applied Anatomy & Physiology has been updated to address current educational standards and now includes an online interactive tool and an improved Workbook and Laboratory Manual.

Book Description
"Medical Terminology: Active Learning Through Case Studies is the only existing medical terminology text that is focused entirely on a case-based approach. Medical terminology can be a daunting course for students, but can be made less overwhelming when students realize that common combining forms, prefixes, and suffixes are used to build most medical terms. This book encourages consideration of medical words in terms of their component parts to determine meaning in context"--

Book Description
Applied Anatomy & Physiology: an interdisciplinary approach provides an overview of basic anatomy and physiology (A&P), and its application to clinical practice. Written by a team of expert academics and clinicians from a range of health backgrounds, the text uses a problem-solving approach, breaking down difficult A&P concepts through case studies, multiple-choice questions, images, feature boxes and online ancillaries, with a strong focus on the concept of the ‘normal’ homeostatic process of each system. Applied Anatomy & Physiology: an interdisciplinary approach encourages students to think critically about how the different body systems work together, providing a deeper understanding of A&P and how to apply this effectively to clinical practice. Written for students with minimal bioscience background to support you in understanding difficult concepts and processes. Chapters are aligned to major body systems and include an overview of system structure and function as well as integration of each system with the rest of the body. Case studies and related multiple-choice questions consolidate chapter content to assist you in testing your knowledge and skills. The strong focus on the homeostatic process of each system helps you to understand what is ‘normal’ and how ‘normal’ works. Full-colour illustrations from leading Elsevier texts, such as Patton’s Anatomy & Physiology, help you to visualise and understand A&P systems and processes. Includes an eBook with purchase of the print book.

Book Description
Case Based Medical Physiology is a new text book using nearly 20 patient cases to illustrate the role of normal and disordered physiology in medicine. It is aimed at medical students in all years and at junior doctors preparing for specialist qualification. Each case is thoroughly discussed through the use of patient histories, physical examination, investigations and management of common conditions where disordered physiology is involved. Over 60 illustrations reinforce an understanding of basic physiological mechanisms. A problem-based learning approach is used which includes Question and Answer sections and a final Case Review. Case Based Medical Physiology is designed as a resource for medical students and junior doctors to be used as a revision aid prior to examinations and OSCEs.

Book Description
This popular collection of fifty anatomical case studies, now revised by a leading clinical anatomist, covers all the major regions of the body: head and neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and perineum, and limbs. Each case study includes the patient's history, physical exam results, diagnosis, therapy, and a discussion of the findings from the anatomical viewpoint. The discussion becomes the heart of each case by skillfully evolving the logic required to make a diagnosis and prescribe therapy. The cases are ably designed to encourage critical thinking and problem solving. Lachman's well-known informal and engaging writing style has been preserved throughout the book, including his tactic of formulating incisive, well-placed questions and then quickly supplying answers. A new chapter, "Central Venous Catheterization", has been added to the text and all other chapters have been updated to reflect the newest advances in treatment and diagnostic methods. The chapters on cholecystectomy, prolapse of the uterus, and knee injury have undergone extensive revision. Many new illustrations have been added to these and other chapters. Lachman's Case Studies in Anatomy succeeds in bridging the gap between theoretical anatomy and its application at the bedside, offering a superb demonstration of anatomical reasoning in clinical settings.
