First published in 1912, French’s Index of Differential Diagnosis helps clinicians in the differential diagnosis of any condition which may be seen in hospital or general practice. Arranged alphabetically by symptom, the text helps readers identify each presentation, describes the different diagnoses that it could represent, and explains the tests used to make a diagnosis. Colour clinical photographs help with diagnoses at a glance.

The book is completely revised – many sections are largely rewritten, new ones added, diagnostic methods updated, many old illustrations replaced and others inserted. The emphasis, however, remains the same: the importance of a careful history, detailed clinical examination and the judicious use of laboratory and imaging investigations in the elucidation of the correct diagnosis. This reference is indispensable to medical students as well as trainee and established doctors in both general and hospital practice.

Medicine is still largely taught as an apprenticeship. Not until recently have medical students and physicians been taught to critically examine the evidence base behind many of our medical decisions, a rather astonishing fact when one stops to think about it.
While clinicians recognize that medicine is often practiced in an evidence-based void and with a touch of paternalism, the demands on a busy clinician to see patients often prevents them from taking the time to search the primary literature. This book addresses the most recent evidence behind diagnostic and management decisions of the most common inpatient diagnoses would therefore be valuable to medical students, residents, and hospitalists.
The book is perfect for students to help care for patients during their medicine subinternship rotation but may prove invaluable in preparation for their end-of-rotation NBME shelf examination.
This book it is case based, evidence based, clinically relevant, and extensively referenced.Edited by a clinically active hospitalist, which will help ensure the material remains clinically relevant and does not lean towards the esoteric.
Each chapter will also include Bottom Line and Take Home Point sections that will help the student process the points of primary importance discussed in the chapter.

Illness and disease may be caused by bacteria or viruses, or may be due to genetic or environmental factors. Increasingly, young Americans battle disease every day. With 66 percent of Americans overweight and 51 percent of American children overweight, diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes are more common than ever before.

Ankylosing spondilitis is a chronic form of arthritis known to affect around 1 in 200 people (over 1 million sufferers in the USA alone). No cure has yet been found for the disease, however, early diagnosis and proper medical management can be important in reducing the risk of disability and deformity. Ankylosing spondilitis: the facts is the first mass market book to be published on this important disease. It provides clear and accessible information on treatment, diagnosis, genetic counselling, and daily life with this illness. Professor Khan is one of the leading experts in the world on AS, while also suffering from it. This combination of scientific knowledge and personal experience of a debilitating disorder results in a unique book which will prove invaluable for sufferers wishing to know more about their condition, and those that share their lives.

Microbiota-associated pathology can be a direct result of changes in general bacterial composition, such as might be found in periodontitis and bacterial vaginosis, and/or as the result of colonization and/or overgrowth of so called keystone species. The disruption in the composition of the normal human microbiota, or dysbiosis, plays an integral role in human health and human disease.

The Human Microbiota and Human Chronic Disease: Dysbioses as a Cause of Human Pathology discusses the role of the microbiota in maintaining human health. The text introduces the reader to the biology of microbial dysbiosis and its potential role in both bacterial disease and in idiopathic chronic disease states.

Divided into five sections, the text delineates the concept of the human bacterial microbiota with particular attention being paid to the microbiotae of the gut, oral cavity and skin. A key methodology for exploring the microbiota, metagenomics, is also described. The book then shows the reader the cellular, molecular and genetic complexities of the bacterial microbiota, its myriad connections with the host and how these can maintain tissue homeostasis. Chapters then consider the role of dysbioses in human disease states, dealing with two of the commonest bacterial diseases of humanity – periodontitis and bacterial vaginosis. The composition of some, if not all microbiotas can be controlled by the diet and this is also dealt with in this section.  The discussion moves on to the major ‘idiopathic’ diseases afflicting humans, and the potential role that dysbiosis could play in their induction and chronicity. The book then concludes with the therapeutic potential of manipulating the microbiota, introducing the concepts of probiotics, prebiotics and the administration of healthy human faeces (faecal microbiota transplantation), and then hypothesizes as to the future of medical treatment viewed from a microbiota-centric position.

• Provides an introduction to dysbiosis, or a disruption in the composition of the normal human microbiota
• Explains how microbiota-associated pathology and other chronic diseases can result from changes in general bacterial composition
• Explores the relationship humans have with their microbiota, and its significance in human health and disease
• Covers host genetic variants and their role in the composition of human microbial biofilms, integral to the relationship between human health and human disease

Authored and edited by leaders in the field, The Human Microbiota and Human Chronic Disease will be an invaluable resource for clinicians, pathologists, immunologists, cell and molecular biologists, biochemists, and system biologists studying cellular and molecular bases of human diseases.
