Le projet de cet ouvrage est de décrire la démarche diagnostique à partir des symptômes ressentis et exprimés par le malade et les signes physiques constatés par le médecin. Après avoir donné un nom aux anomalies et les avoir distinguées des ressemblances trompeuses, les auteurs ont exposé les arguments utiles pour remonter à l'affection causale, médicale ou chirurgicale. Les examens complémentaires sont justifiés par cette démarche clinique préalable. Cet ouvrage est rédigé avec le souci que les mots, les méthodes d'examen et les mécanismes du raisonnement médical soient explicites. Des schémas et des encarts synthétiques annexés à chaque chapitre y contribuent, ainsi qu'un lexique et un index insérés à la fin de l'ouvrage. Cette deuxième édition du livre "Sémiologie clinique des affections digestives" paru en 2001 a été revue et complétée. L'ouvrage est proposé à l'apprenti médecin et au médecin concernés par le contact avec le malade aussi bien en consultation qu'à son chevet.
This book contains the 17 lectures given at the International Symposium on Liver Cells and Drugs held in Rennes on 7 to 10 July 1987 as well as 50 communications presented at the poster sessions.
