Clinical Pathophysiology Volume 1 : A USMLE® and COMLEX® Guide
Kindle
$55.00
Paperback
$59.00
This trusted book teaches you the presentation, pathophysiology, and treatment of the most important diseases seen in medical practice and tested on national examinations. Each chapter first describes the symptoms of its diseases and the usual diagnostic approaches. There is then a review of the structure and function of the organ necessary to understand its pathology. Each disease is described by its presentation, pathophysiology, and natural history. There is special emphasis on explaining how testing is used to identify key pathophysiologic abnormalities. This unique integration of patient signs and symptoms with testing and pathophysiology will give the student an understanding of the “whys” behind both illness and treatment. It is the product of over 3 decades of the author’s clinical practice and a decade of teaching medical students, with an emphasis on preparation for the Step examinations. This approach is not an attempt to be an exhaustive review of disease but rather the core knowledge that all doctors should have mastered. In doing this, it provides a framework for learning medicine from a patient-centered perspective.

Immunology & Microbiology Essentials
Kindle
$55.00
Paperback
$59.00
Medical immunology is the study of how the human body responds to disease. As such, it is a foundational science for pathology and clinical practice. It is also arguably the most poorly taught subject in medical school, and it is not a subject that can be conquered through memorization. This book reflects the experience of 30 years teaching in the field, converting the molecular complexities of the immune system into a memorable, logical engineering design.
Initially, the development of immune cells is followed from their origin in the bone marrow, through their training in primary lymphoid organs, and their recirculation and homing into the lymph nodes and spleen. From there, the sequence of innate inflammation is followed through the potential development of cell-mediated and humoral adaptive immune responses. Once the design of the system is explained, the clinical applications of the immune response in vaccination, diagnosis, and management of immunodeficiency and hypersensitivity diseases, HIV infection, transplantation, and neoplasia. The delivery of this material in a logical and memorable design that emphasizes understanding will serve as the foundation for a great score on board exams, and the basis for a lifetime of learning the new frontiers in this rapidly evolving discipline.
Medical Microbiology Essentials is designed with the medical student in mind and emphasizes the critical concepts which must be understood to excel on the licensing boards. With an emphasis on how the anatomy and physiology of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites predict the pathogenesis in the patient, this review provides a user-friendly rapid review of the clinical importance of infectious disease to today’s doctor.
Although most courses emphasize the management of the subject by rote memorization, this book encourages the integration of biochemistry, physiology, immunology, pathology, and pharmacology to make the material logical and understandable. Issues critical to help students think like a doctor include epidemiology, chief complaint, management of drug resistances and therapy, and natural history of each disease.

Neuroanatomy Essentials - For Healthcare Professionals : A USMLE® and COMLEX® Guide
Kindle
$55.00
Paperback
$59.00
A textbook guide of neuroanatomy for the basic sciences and the USMLE® and COMLEX® exams. This textbook’s primary goal is to present clinical and functional anatomy to student doctors and health professionals in an efficient manner. It is written by Dr. Jack Wilson with attention to student learning and holistic engagement in medical education. The study of neuroscience and neuroanatomy forms a critical part of the training of the physician. The primary goal of this textbook is to present the clinical and functional applications of neuroanatomy as needed by the physician without the massive amount of structural details that lead to just memorization without understanding the relevance of the nervous system to clinical practice. Essential amounts of structural detail are provided that are required to understand the clinical application of the nervous system. In addition, these topics will provide the critical level of information necessary for the student to succeed in the pre-clinical curriculum, successfully navigate the Step 1 exam, and move into clinical training. The neurologic exam and the observed clinical symptoms of the patient provide multiple opportunities for the clinician to utilize the clinical application of the functional and structural knowledge of neuroanatomy in neurological diagnosis. This allows the clinician opportunity to develop a logical thinking process as a basis for clinical diagnosis. Thus, the anatomical and physiological principles of neuroanatomy become of paramount importance. Providing those principles is the goal of this textbook.
