Book Description
Mnemonics have been around for years. They have been shown to be an extremely useful aid in learning the details of medicine, especially when there are "lists of key causes" to remember. These lists are often on written and clinical exams and medical board tests, so it is incumbent on the student to know them well. After a while, the use of mnemonics will become easy.The sheer volume of facts to learn and memorize in the study of Medicine can be daunting. I have been teaching clinical adult medicine to students for over 30 years (Medical, Physician Assistant, and Nursing) and it is not unusual for us to deal with 25 different diagnoses while on daily hospital rounds. I teach the students the importance of having a "differential diagnosis" of a medical problem at their fingertips.When students repeat lists of medical problems and their causes over and over, this is an example of memorizing by rote. This book helps solve the problem of mountains of information and rote memorizing. One of the ways of remembering the large volume of medical facts is through knowing mnemonics. In this book, I have developed over 200 "easy to recall" mnemonics and other pearls that will aid the student grasp important lists of differential diagnoses concerning common medical problems. I have chosen the most common internal medicine problems in 12 main categories.

Dermatology Simplified
Author: Jules Lipoff
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319197312
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 572
Book Description
This book is derived from notes taken during a dermatology residency and it represents a comprehensive yet condensed approach to a dermatology curriculum, listing every entity with only the most important and testable facts and mnemonics. There is an intimidating large amount of material for young dermatologists and other doctors with an interest in dermatology to learn, and this guide puts it all into a concise and manageable context. Further, introductions to the dermatology physical exam and dermatopathology, as well short guides describing the basics of medications, basic science, cosmetics, and surgery are included. The goal of this guide is not primarily to help with visual identification of diagnoses, but rather to help young dermatologists learn to create differential diagnoses and learn all the important facts for myriad diseases. Given its unique approach, this guide will serve new residents well in quickly adapting to a new field, and also, it will serve senior residents as quick review of all topics in preparation for in service and board examinations. In general, there are very few dermatology board review books of any kind and therefore this book will immediately have a market among dermatology students, residents, rotators, and faculty.

Diagnostic Criteria Handbook in Histopathology
Author: Paul J. Tadrous
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119965381
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
This handbook is designed to help jobbing histopathologists jog their memory and get through more workload in any working day. Rapid access is facilitated by a bullet-point, tabular and diagrammatic style, as well as by handy anatomical diagrams, guidance on the ‘Cut-Up’ with emphasis on core ‘datasets’ and by a special index for frozen section advice, grading systems and scoring systems. The book provides, where useful, differential diagnosis lists and presents diagnostically helpful molecular and immunohistochemical findings. Information is kept up-to-date on a dedicated website www.pathbook.com. The Diagnostic Criteria Handbook in Histopathology is not designed to be an “exam cram” and neither will it serve as a basic text for beginners. Trainees, however, will still benefit from the sheer breadth of topics covered in this one small volume: from lab management and lab methods, to autopsy practice, cytology and all sub-specialties in surgical pathology. A chapter on exam technique and mnemonics makes the book also an essential companion for those revising for professional exams. So why clutter your precious desk space with multiple sets of heavy two-volume reference works? Give this handy Vade Mecum a place next to your microscope and see how much time you could save!
