Book Description
A trip to the doctor's office is rarely celebrated and almost always feared-not just for the possibility of discovering one is sick but also because of the time, effort, money, and frustration that are involved in receiving care. The work of the doctor providing help is often no less frustrating. As Dr. Tanu Shweta Pandey describes in this firsthand account of the world of a doctor's office, improving health is an act of teamwork fraught with challenges: both the doctor and the patient need to pull their weight to achieve success. A specialist in women's health, Dr. Pandey offers insight into common health concerns raised by women, including sexual desire, physical consequences of women's footwear, and breast cancer. Dr. Pandey also tackles healthcare itself, using real-life patient cases to demonstrate the challenges found in navigating the system and how advocacy and improved patient health literacy are necessary to keep the population healthy in the future. Dr. Pandey's narrative offers a personal look at where healthcare has been, where it stands, where it is going, and how it affects our lives.

Learning Cardiac Auscultation
Author: Allen J. Taylor
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1447167384
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
The book contains a series of core auscultation “lessons”. All are case based and describe auscultation as it relates to a patient and in terms of the gold standard for interpretation of heart sounds. Auscultation is the term for listening to the internal sounds of the body, usually using a stethoscope. It is performed for the purposes of examining the circulatory system and respiratory system (heart sounds and breath sounds). As a topic it is one of the oldest in cardiology but its utility should never be underestimated. In this era of hugely expensive imaging tests, auscultation is a cornerstone of efficient diagnosis and therefore needs a fresh look. The core content of this book describes the search for diagnostic clues within patients’ heart sounds and as such this book provides superb practical advice in the form of a series of clinical pearls reflecting what accurate diagnosis with auscultation can mean to patient prognosis and outcome. This often subtle but ultimately simple subject often produces complex results and these must be considered in light of modern next-level diagnostic methods and patient management.

Book Description
Awarded The British Medical Association Student Textbook Award 2009, this short and accessible book comes with an interactive CD of heart sounds recorded from actual patients using the latest digital audio technology. Cardiac auscultation is one of the most difficult clinical skills to acquire and competence in this area is extremely variable. With the CD the user can listen to a recording and either eliminate or enhance the different components until they are confident that they have correctly identified the sounds in all phases of the cardiac cycle. This Second Edition uses the latest software and includes new features, such as the ability to slow the heart sounds down without altering their pitch. The layout of the CD has been improved to make it quicker to access. New questions and answers in both the book and the CD allow readers to monitor their knowledge and progress. The visual representation of the cardiac cycle also helps readers understand the origin of the heart sounds. This CD is suitable for use in all PC/Macs which have a tray-loading CD-ROM drive. It is not compatible with slot-loading CD-ROM drives. The book provides a simple guide to cardiac auscultation along with useful teaching points and summaries The interactive CD recordings allow the various components of each heart sound to be eliminated and restored to aid understanding Using this package of book and CD the reader can gain a full understanding of cardiac auscultation in minutes that can take years to learn in clinical practice This CD is suitable for use in all PC/Macs which have a tray-loading CD-ROM drive. It is not compatible with slot-loading CD-ROM drives Expanded content with additional information on the principles of cardiac auscultation in the context of the overall cardiac examination. Now presented in colour with additional imaging and colour diagrams to aid interpretation. The CD has been completely redesigned using the latest software. Recordings of heart sounds can now be slowed down without altering their pitch. Includes new questions and answers to test knowledge.
