چکیده
The appreciation and interpretation of these findings can only come with experience but the medical student beginning his clinical course must learn as much about their acquisition as the final year student, since these are the building blocks of much of his education. It follows then that an introductory text to clinical skills must at least be complete and not merely serve as a stepping stone to another more detailed text. In this respect "An Introduction to Clinical Medicine" is inadequate. The early chapters on history taking, general observations and examination of the integument are good, that on history taking being particularly useful. However, the chapters relating to examination of the major systems are not comprehensive enough and contain some misleading statements, e.g. that "a pulsating liver may be found in congestive cardiac failure" without making it clear that such a finding indicates tricuspid incompetence and is not found in uncomplicated heart failure. There is not enough information presented to allow the student to understand findings such as murmurs, the abnormalities of the jugular venous pressure, and hemiplegia to mention but a few. A number of excellent introductory books including "Clinical Examination", McLeod, and "A Primer of Clinical Medicine", Papworth, are already available and the present text cannot be recommended as a substitute for them.

Over the last few decades, tremendous progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms of immune responses. This progress has also led to a more detailed knowledge of the processes leading to the loss of self-tolerance and the destruction of self-tissue in the case of autoimmune diseases, the effector mechanism involved in transplant allograft rejection as well as the driving factors in e...
متن کاملRecent advances in pathobiology and histopathological diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease
In order to make a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) which belongs to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), it is important to evaluate pathologic material in conjunction with clinical, laboratory and endoscopic findings. There are several exceptions to the classical principles of IBD that may lead to diagnostic confusion. UC and CD have a variety of characteristic but al...

Contemporary views of human disease are based on simple correlation between clinical syndromes and pathological analysis dating from the late 19th century. Although this approach to disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment has served the medical establishment and society well for many years, it has serious shortcomings for the modern era of the genomic medicine that stem from its reliance on...
