Sehr nützlich
Reviewed in Germany on 3 February 2021Verified Purchase
Klinische Zeichen tauchen normalerweise nur als Randbemerkungen, ohne Nennung von Differentialdiagnosen oder spez/sens, auf. Dieses Buch schließt diese Wissenslücke effektiv und ermöglicht einen neuen Blick bei der körperlichen Untersuchung.

Useful book!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 October 2015Verified Purchase
There's definitely a need for this sort of book where you can quickly browse it to find a detailed explanation of the pathophysiology behind signs elicited from a clinical exam. The explanations are not too in depth, and further resources are provided so you can double check or read more. There are well illustrated diagrams to help explain, list of conditions the sign may be associated with,brief details about sensitivity/specificity, and coloured images for some signs. It's divided based on systems so you can group signs together mentally.
Really great book, just wish it wasn't so expensive! I must say that the explanation behind signs can also be found by sometimes googling various papers, but it is nice to have a quick reference.

Great for learning and review
Reviewed in the United States on 27 January 2012Verified Purchase
It was tough returning to medicine from maternity leave but this book made it easier. I re-read some of my old med-school notes and some clinical examination books, but this new book is helping me to put together things a bit faster. I actually wish I had it when I was learning how to examine.
It is set out system by system and alphabetically. You could read each chapter from start to finish, but it probably lends it self to quickly looking up a signs you see or have momentarily forgotten why it occurs. It also has two table of contents: once is just by the system and the name of the signs in alphabetical order and the other has the signs categorised under a disorder that may cause multiple signs. e.g. "Cushings disease" has moon facies, stria, proximal myopathy etc etc listed under it.
The neurological chapter is extremely comprehensive but manageable.
Overall I think this is a very handy book to have for medical students learning. It may also help some of the doctors in different specialty training.

身体所見のまとめ本。
簡潔で図や表、写真も豊富でわかりやすい。
ただリファレンスに乏しいのは残念。
皮膚所見に関しては、フィッツパトリックの方がよい。

Mechanism of Clinical Signs - review
Reviewed in the United States on 28 January 2012Verified Purchase
I have just started GP training and have found this book very useful. I love that I can examine a patient in general practice and then look in my clinical signs textbook to review a description of the sign and conditions associated with it. I have also found the mechanisms to be very clear and comprehensive and they are a great way to link clinical and academic medicine when teaching.
I would recommend this book to anyone like me who is working in general practice. Teachers and medical students would also find this textbook particularly useful.
