Essentials of Vascular Laboratory Diagnosis, 1st ed. 2005

Essentials of Vascular Laboratory Diagnosis

Emile R. Mohler, Marie Gerhard-Herman, Michael R. Jaff

ISBN-10: 1405103825

ISBN-13: 978-1405103824

Wiley-Blackwell

Essentials of Vascular Laboratory Diagnosis is a comprehensive, succinct, multimodality reference designed to facilitate the noninvasive diagnosis of peripheral vascular disorders. Traditional textbooks have been limited in their ability to provide representative images obtained during vascular testing. This text comes with a CD which contains not only static images with clinical vignettes but also video clips displaying the dynamic aspects of vascular pathology to aid in the learning process. Each image can be enlarged to enable the user to fully appreciate the key features of the pathology displayed. In addition, the CD can be searched by image type, condition/disease or technique. The cases on the CD correspond with the text and include clinical ''pearls'' to facilitate the noninvasive testing techniques.

DeGowin's Diagnostic Examination, 9th ed. 2009

Richard F. LeBlond, Donald D. Brown, Richard L. DeGowin

ISBN 978-0-07-160574-8;

The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

 

 

 

Far beyond being a text describing how to perform a history and physical exam, DeGowin's Diagnostic Examination is, uniquely, a text to assist clinicians in thinking about symptoms and physical signs to facilitate generation of reasonable, testable diagnostic hypotheses. The clinician's goal in performing a history and physical examination is to generate these diagnostic hypotheses.

DeGowin's Diagnostic Examination has been used by students and clinicians for over 40 years precisely because of its usefulness in this diagnostic process:

 

• It describes the techniques for obtaining a complete history and performing a thorough physical examination.
• It links symptoms and signs with the pathophysiology of disease.
• It presents an approach to differential diagnosis, based upon the pathophysiology of disease, which can be efficiently tested in the laboratory.
• It does all of this in a format that can be used as a quick reference at the “point of care” and as a text to study the principles and practice of history taking and physical examination.

This is not meant to be a comprehensive text. It is meant, rather, to serve as a bridge to more indepth textbooks. It should be noted that this does not represent the complete spectrum of electro-diagnostic testing. Since this book is specifically targeted at novices in the field, some of the more complex testing, including somatosensory evoked potentials, blink reflex, and single fiber EMG, is not discussed.
