The text provides both fascinating historical accounts on the research and practice of tropical diseases, and highly informative discussions on the epidemiology, transmission, pathology, diagnosis and management of a broad range of tropical disease states. Descriptions have an easy to read 'human' feel, that left me with the sensation of being in correspondence with a friendly, knowledgeable group of specialists in the field.

Medical Pharmacology at a Glance Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was recommended this book by a former student of Dr. Neal's and after one perusal, I was hooked. It has since become my favorite medical textbook. It is so elegant and enjoyable to read that it is hardly like studying at all. The diagrams are particularly impressive, with each consolidating the equivalent of many wordy pages in the average pharmacology textbook. It is perfect when taking a medical pharmacology course, to be read "first and last" for each topic. If you're a visual learner, this one's for you.

Ferri's Color Atlas and Text of Clinical Medicine: Expert Consult - Online and Print (Ferri's Medical Solutions) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is beautifully illustrated and certainly serves as a great atlas. It is organized by body system with a brief section on the normal physiology of that system and then entries for various conditions of that system. The index references page numbers, but the there are tables of contents for each color-coded system section organized by chapter number boldly displayed in the upper corners of the page. Thus, it is quite easy to find a lot of helpful information.
I will quibble a bit with the choice of what to exclude. There is not a word about seizure disorders. At first I thought that might be because the author chose to include conditions for which there can be lots of photos, imaging studies and drawings. But the chapter on neurodiagnostic tests does show a couple of EEC tracings and mentions EEG's utility in diagnosing conditions other than seizures. Then there's a chapter on diabetes insipidus that just has a diagram, so the graphics theory goes. Thus, I find it inexplicable that there's nothing about seizures.
Still, an interesting and useful reference, perhaps as a companion to Ferri's Clinical Adviser (or to my preference, The 5-Minute Clinical Consult).
