Book Description:
Physiology Cases and Problems, Fourth Edition is a collection of carefully selected patient case studies that cover the clinically relevant physiology topics that first and second year medical students need to know for physiology coursework and for the USMLE Step 1. Organized by body system, the book presents cases studies with questions and problems, followed by complete explanations and solutions including diagrams, graphs, and charts. Students may use this book alone, in small groups, or as a complement to BRS Physiology. Either way, it is intended to be a dynamic, working book that challenges its users to think more critically about physiologic principles.

This book includes a number of features to help students master the principles of physiology:
  • 62 cases organized by body system to help students integrate material

  • Within each case, questions are arranged sequentially so that they intentionally build upon each other
  • Question difficulty varies from basic to challenging, recognizing the progression that most students make
  • Major equations are presented in boldface type, followed by explanations of all terms
  • Key topics are listed at the end of each case so that students may focus their study

Book Description:
A disorder which affects 4 percent of children and 1-2 percent of the general population, epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders. The original edition of C.P. Panayiotopoulos’ guide proved to be the only one of its kind, covering many important aspects of diagnosis and treatment. Due to the continued advances being made in the subject, a second edition is now due. The text includes detailed diagnostics, concise descriptions of syndromes, a wealth of practical tips, and is supported by useful tables to enable clear diagnoses. Building on the sell-out success of the first edition this thorough revision reflects the latest report of the ILAE classification core group and the significant progress made in the diagnosis, classification and treatment of the epilepsies.

Acland’s Atlas of Human Anatomy, DVD 6: The Internal Organs



The six DVDs in this remarkable and beautifully produced DVD anatomy atlas explore the fundamental structures of the Musculoskeletal System, the Head and Neck, and the Internal Organs. These DVDs show you true images of real, exquisitely dissected human anatomical specimens, in three dimensions. As the camera moves from one viewpoint to another, the specimen appears to rotate in space, letting the viewer experience it as a three-dimensional object. Acland’s DVD Atlas uses fresh, un-embalmed specimens that retain the color, texture, mobility—and beauty—of the living human body. A concise synchronized narration runs throughout the program. As each new structure is shown, its name appears on the screen. There is a self-testing feature at the end of each section. Specific content can be accessed through detailed searches of the index and table of contents. For students, Acland’s DVD Atlas is a time-saving aid to first-time learning, an effective way to relearn anatomy for clinical rotations, and a time-efficient tool for review. For clinicians in training and in practice, it assures a swift renewal of anatomic knowledge. For teachers, Acland’s DVD Atlas shortens the time needed to provide immediate, satisfying explanations of three-dimensional structure.

Mechanisms of Clinical Signs, First Edition



Book Description:
The first consolidated textbook explaining the mechanism of clinical signs commonly seen in medicine. "Mechanisms of Clinical Signs" is the first consolidated text of its kind; designed to help medical students and junior doctors understand the pathophysiological mechanisms behind clinical signs. Unlike existing clinical examination textbooks which are predominantly organised by disease systems and states, "Mechanisms of Clinical Signs" is arranged by body system; bridging the gap between identifying clinical signs and understanding the causes behind them. Presented in a useful handbook style, "Mechanisms of Clinical Signs "discusses the evidence base and clinical value of each clinical sign to assist with interpretation. Examples are plentiful and include such signs as distinctive tremors in a Parkinson's disease patient and red hands on a patient with liver disease. As well as being an easy-to-follow reference for clinical signs seen on the ward, "Mechanisms of Clinical Signs" is an excellent study aid - particularly useful for those preparing for 'Viva' or 'OSCE' practical stations. The ability to accurately identify and interpret clinical signs of disease upon examination is a vital first step in correct diagnosis and treatment. "Mechanisms of Clinical Signs" is therefore an essential textbook for medical students and new practitioners. Online StudentConsult resources accompany "Mechanisms of Clinical Signs" upon purchase.
