Description
Learn leading-edge clinical management strategies-from the The New England Journal of Medicine New England Journal of Medicine: Clinical Practice is a compendium of the Journal's highly regarded case discussions on clinical management. Featuring unparalleled, peer-reviewed content published in the NEJM's Clinical Practice series, this incredible resource is filled with 26 challenging, skill-building cases from both ambulatory and hospital practice. Each Case starts with a thought-provoking patient vignette, and the discussion then leads you through: * The Clinical Problem (What characteristics define the at-risk population? How prevalent is the condition?) * Current Medical Evidence for the patient assessment and possible therapeutic strategies (What are the data to support particular diagnostic approaches and therapeutic modalities?) * Areas of Clinical Uncertainty/Controversy (What are the major gaps in our clinical knowledge?) * Practice Guidelines (What are the current recommendations of the major specialty organizations?) * Conclusions and Management Recommendations (What do the authors propose for the management of each case?) Featuring more than 100 full-color illustrations, tables, and algorithms, New England Journal of Medicine: Clinical Practice covers a range of medical practice-from dermatology and gastroenterology, to allergy and women's health. Turn to any chapter, and this incomparable case-by-case guide reads as if a master clinician was personally guiding the you, taking you through the best approach to a complex medical disorder.
Reviews / Votes
"The selection of topics has a high degree of clinical relevance, and the orientation of the article around a plausible case vignette maintains this focus. The evidence for various management strategies is presented in a concise and well-organized manner, and the format provides for easy readability. The final recommendations of the authors are specific and well grounded in both evidence and sound clinical judgment (with clear delineation of the boundaries of each)."--Mayo Clinic Proceedings Mayo Clinic Proceedings 20070301More details
