Consistent, bulleted guidelines and crisply reproduced images make it remarkably easy to instantly confirm or rule out a diagnosis. The result is an on-the-go source for the information radiologists need to interpret images with confidence. 16 volumes cover a wide range of radiologic specialties, including musculoskeletal imaging - head and neck imaging - neuroimaging - chest imaging - ultrasound - cardiac imaging - spine imaging - vascular imaging - pediatric imaging - gastrointestinal/genitourinary imaging - and emergency imaging. Two different formats suit the needs of any practitioner: The PDA versions of these resources-simple to install on any Palm(R) or Pocket PC are extremely user-friendly and require very little practice to use. They can be purchased on a retail CD-ROM or downloaded from the Website: www.PocketRadiologist.com The paperback versions average 320 pages in length and are 5" x 8" in size-so they can be carried and consulted anytime, anywhere. For each diagnosis, readers will find 1 - 2 radiologic images/illustrations, plus lists of Key Facts - Imaging Findings - Differential Diagnosis - Clinical Issues - Pathologic Features - and References. Imaging Findings include General Features - CT Findings - and MR findings, as well as Other Modality Findings and Imaging Recommendations (where appropriate).

Pediatric Neuro-Ophthalmology
Author: Michael C. Brodsky
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461384575
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 692
Book Description
Pediatric Neuroophthalmology details the diagnostic criteria, current concepts of pathogenesis, neuroradiological correlates, and clinical management of a large group of neuroophthalmic disorders that present in childhood. Surprisingly distinct from neuroophthalmic disorders afflicting adults, this set of diseases falls between the cracks of most ophthalmology training, and thus, warrants a practical, clinical guide for the practitioner in ophthalmology - the neuroophthalmologist, pediatric ophthalmologist, general ophthalmologist - as well as neurologists and for residents. The authors, leading pediatric ophthalmologists, have taken this difficult subject matter and developed an accessible, user-friendly manual with a detailed approach to the recognition, differential diagnosis, and management of pediatric neuroophthalmologic disorders.

Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
"This handbook serves the needs of undergraduate medical students ,nursing students and is good refresher for Pediatric post graduates." Reviewed by: Neel Kamal, Date: Aug. 14 This portable, photo-rich guide to physical examination for Nurse Practitioners and other primary care providers will help you develop the unique range of skills required to assess children of all ages. System chapters begin with embryological development and review the key developmental stages of childhood. For infants and young children, this step-by-step guide uses the "quiet-to-active" approach favored by pediatric experts and considered more effective for this age-group than the traditional head-to-toe approach used for adults. Other key topics include pediatric mental health assessment and growth and development screening and surveillance. Uses the quiet-to-active approach to the examination of infants and young children, starting with listening and moving on to touching, the pediatric assessment approach that yields the best results in this age group. More than 300 photos and line drawings facilitate learning and familiarize you with common assessment findings. Information Gathering tables highlight questions and data needed from the patient/guardian, with questions conveniently separated by age group, to help you take an accurate history. Charting examples show you how to record physical examination findings in the health record and acquaint you with documentation language and format. Pediatric Pearls highlight effective physical examination findings and techniques gleaned from actual practice. Coverage of assessment of the preterm infant equips you with practical tools for assessing this unique pediatric population. Full-color format facilitates readability and learning. An easy-access two-column format provides quick access to concise information. Spiral binding lets you lay the book flat or fold it back for easy visualization and quick reference in the clinical setting.
