Oxford Textbook of Medicine 5/e(3Vols)

도서내용

The Oxford Textbook of Medicine is the foremost international textbook of medicine. Unrivaled in its coverage of the
scientific aspects and clinical practice of internal medicine and its subspecialties, it is a fixture in the offices
and wards of physicians around the world. More comprehensive, more authoritative, and more international than any other
textbook, it focuses on offering practical guidance on clinical management and the prevention of disease.

Three introductory chapters outline a philosophy which has always characterized the Oxford Textbook of Medicine. It is
humane, thought-provoking, and aims to instill in readers an understanding of the role of medicine in society, and the
contribution it can make to the health of populations.

As always, there is detailed coverage of all areas of internal medicine. The integration of basic science and clinical
practice is unparalleled and throughout the book the implications of research for medical practice are explained. The
core clinical medicine sections offer in-depth coverage of the traditional specialty areas. The Oxford Textbook of
Medicine has unsurpassed details on infectious diseases: the most comprehensive coverage to be found in any textbook of
medicine. Other sections of note include: pain; bioterrorism; forensic medicine; medical disorders in pregnancy; travel
and expedition medicine; nutrition; the use of stem cells; regenerative medicine, and psychiatry and drug-related
problems in general medical practice.

In response to detailed research, there have been substantial changes to ensure that the Oxford Textbook of Medicine
continues to meet the needs of its readers. New chapter summaries give accessible overviews of the content. All 2,500
illustrations and photographs are now in full color, and a new design ensures that the textbook is easy to read and to
navigate. The evidence-base and references have been entirely overhauled.

And now, for the first time, the Oxford Textbook of Medicine is available in an online edition. Containing the full
text and all the figures and illustrations, the online version has a clear and easy-to-use interface with excellent
navigation and search and browse options. In addition, the online edition facilitates links to sources of related and
further reading via PubMed, ISI, and CrossRef. All the figures are downloadable into Powerpoint; an excellent tool when
preparing presentations and lectures.

Purchasers of the print edition of the Oxford Textbook of Medicine, fifth edition, will also be able to purchase access
to the online edition for a reduced rate by following the instructions given in the book.
