Differential Diagnosis of Internal Diseases, Third Edition covers the diagnosis of numerous internal diseases based on symptoms and signs. This edition is organized by symptoms and signs that may be individually different even in the same disease and must be analyzed and understood on a pathophysiological basis within the framework of the individual personality. This book is composed of two main parts encompassing 20 chapters. Part I reviews the leading symptoms of headache, chest and abdominal pain, backache, pain in extremities, general feelings and consciousness disorders, vertigo, nausea, vomitus, cough, dyspnea, diarrhea, constipation, and hemorrhages. Part II examines the leading signs habitus, hyperthermia, fever, infectious disease, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, hematopoietic, and uropoietic systems diseases, and glycosuria. This book will be of value to general physicians, clinicians, and pathophysiologists.

Diagnosis and Treatment in Internal Medicine equips trainee doctors with the essential skills and core knowledge to establish a diagnosis reliably and quickly, before outlining the management of the clinical condition diagnosed. Organised into three sections, the first provides a vital overview, whilst the second focuses on common presentations and diagnoses. Uniquely, this new book shows readers how to turn symptoms into a list of diagnoses ordered by probability - a differential diagnosis. Experienced consultants who teach trainees every day demonstrate how to derive an ordered differential diagnosis, how to narrow this down to a single diagnosis and if not, how to live with diagnostic uncertainty. The final section provides a comprehensive account of the management of system-based syndromes and diseases. Highly-structured chapters emphasize how common conditions present, how to approach a diagnosis, and how to estimate prognosis, treatment and its effectiveness. An onus is placed on the development of crucial diagnostic skills and the ability to devise evidence-based management plans quickly and accurately, making this an ideal text for core medical trainees.
