Acute Medicine
This extremely popular title has become the definitive pocket guide to the management of medical emergencies for front-line hospital doctors. It provides detailed guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of all common conditions and includes a step-by-step guide to the nine most important practical procedures in acute medicine.
Diagnosis and Treatment in Internal Medicine
Diagnosis and Treatment in Internal Medicine equips trainee doctors with the essential skills and core knowledge to establish a diagnosis reliably and quickly, before outlining the management of the clinical condition diagnosed. Organised into three sections, the first provides a vital overview, whilst the second focuses on common presentations and diagnoses. Uniquely, this new book shows readers how to turn symptoms into a list of diagnoses ordered by probability - a differential diagnosis. Experienced consultants who teach trainees every day demonstrate how to derive an ordered differential diagnosis, how to narrow this down to a single diagnosis and if not, how to live with diagnostic uncertainty. The final section provides a comprehensive account of the management of system-based syndromes and diseases. Highly-structured chapters emphasize how common conditions present, how to approach a diagnosis, and how to estimate prognosis, treatment and its effectiveness. An onus is placed on the development of crucial diagnostic skills and the ability to devise evidence-based management plans quickly and accurately, making this an ideal text for core medical trainees.
The Last Man Who Knew Everything
No one has given the polymath Thomas Young (1773–1829) the all-round examination he so richly deserves—until now. Celebrated biographer Andrew Robinson portrays a man who solved mystery after mystery in the face of ridicule and rejection, and never sought fame. As a physicist, Young challenged the theories of Isaac Newton and proved that light is a wave. As a physician, he showed how the eye focuses and proposed the three-colour theory of vision, only confirmed a century and a half later. As an Egyptologist, he made crucial contributions to deciphering the Rosetta Stone. It is hard to grasp how much Young knew. This biography is the fascinating story of a driven yet modest hero who cared less about what others thought of him than for the joys of an unbridled pursuit of knowledge—with a new foreword by Martin Rees and a new postscript discussing polymathy in the two centuries since the time of Young. It returns this neglected genius to his proper position in the pantheon of great scientific thinkers.

CRQs for the Final FRCA
"This chapter contains 12 Constructed Response Question (CRQ) for the Final FRCA. This exam paper is commonly used to measure knowledge and application-level cognitive skills. The questions are marked out of 20 and candidates have 15 minutes per question. The content is the result of a mixture of compiled clinical experience, author opinion, allied expert opinion, best practice guidance and up to date evidence base as practiced in the UK per date of publication. The topics considered in the exam questions were intentionally chosen to represent the full spectrum of the Final FRCA curriculum. The exam candidate must make a judgment in providing a correct answer. Clearly there will be instances of differing opinion given the often encountered clinical contention. We, the authors, are fully accepting of this fact hence we have provided a "suggested answer" given the clinical information described. Most answers contain intentional redundancy, providing some leeway for the candidate i.e. there are frequent instances of supernumerary answers provided than are required for full marks. Answers are accompanied by links to further reading"--

Echocardiography
This book sets echocardiography within a routine clinical context. It aims to synthesise guidelines into a pragmatic clinical approach to real patients providing a step-by-step guide to performing, reporting, and interpreting a study. We wrote it imagining we were the calm voice of a senior echocardiographer teaching a junior colleague. This edition has been extensively revised with an expansion of sections on acute, intensive care, and emergency medicine. COVID-19 has necessitated limiting exposure of both patient and operator to infection and caused a huge increase in waiting lists. This has sharpened the debate over matching the level of scan to the clinical question and also highlights the importance of collaboration between clinicians and echocardiographers. Key Features Expanded first chapter on levels of echocardiography New sections on COVID-19, cardio-oncology, multivalve disease, and specialist valve clinics Incorporation of new international guidelines, grading criteria and normal data Guide to how cardiac CT and magnetic resonance can complement echocardiography Reformatted text and extra diagrams and tables to improve understanding
