Description
Saunders (Elsevier) Clinical Paediatrics and Child Health by David Candy And Graham Davies And Euan Ross
Children are different. They are not just 'small adults' but are growing and changing all the time - a fact that must not be forgotten or ignored when children are ill. This new textbook of paediatrics offers a unique approach that takes the age of children into account. It is divided into two separate and distinct parts: Section 1 deals with children at various ages - from before birth through adolescence - and studies the normal growing child and common illnesses, using a symptom-based approach; Section 2 provides a mini encyclopaedia of paediatric disorders, their aetiology, incidence, clinical presentation, diagnosis and management. Cross references provide the necessary links between the two parts to avoid repetition.Modelled on the very successful medical textbook, Kumar and Clark: Clinical Medicine, this book shares many of the same features:chapters are colour-coded so that the reader can see easily where a chapter starts and endsinformation, emergency and practical boxes appear throughout and are highlighted in colourthe text is written in a clear and interesting style, well broken up with headings and sub-headings.Leer menos
