Challenging Cases in Pulmonology 2012th Edition

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=1441970975]

From acute respiratory diseases to chronic lung conditions, pulmonology is a vital area of clinical medicine. Due to a wide array of respiratory diseases, clinical presentation of pulmonary conditions can be complex and oftentimes challenging. In addition to recognizing common characteristics of lung diseases, identifying unusual clinical presentation of pulmonary conditions remains an important educational experience. This concise and easy-to-read title provides that experience in practical context, using a case-based system of learning where a unique case is presented and discussed and questions are provided to challenge the learner and reinforce the transmission of knowledge. Challenging Cases in Pulmonology is not an exhaustive review but rather focuses on common and important problems, with emphasis on evaluation and treatment. The book offers 16 chapters consisting of two or more cases followed by five to ten multiple choice questions. A valuable resource for pulmonologists, allergists, primary care physicians, internal medicine, fellows in allergy and pulmonology, and residents in training, this practical title will also be of interest to nurses, physician assistants, and medical students studying pulmonology. Challenging Cases in Pulmonology complements two previously published case-based titles edited by Dr. Mahmoudi: Challenging Cases in Allergy and Immunology (Humana Press, 2009) and Challenging Cases in Allergic and Immunologic Diseases of the Skin (Springer, 2010).

Clinical Cases for MRCPCH Theory and Science

This publication brings together almost 40 different authors with the aim of demonstrating how science can be used to tackle clinical cases in paediatrics. It does not set out to cover every detail of paediatric theory and science, but rather provides a wide spread of information from the baby to the child to the young person.

Most helpfully, it gives paediatric trainees some idea of the depth of knowledge which is expected.

For the student who is unfamiliar with MRCPCH Theory and Science questions and the examination format, this publication will exemplify the types of question asked in the actual exam and gets to the heart of what the examiners are looking for in candidate performance.

For those studying for the examination, we hope this short book will supplement your existing learning and enable you to access some of the weightier textbooks and even the occasional scientific paper or recent review article.

For those of you writing questions, this publication will offer an insight into what makes a good question in the new format of the exam.
