DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Succeed on internal medicine board certification and recertification
exams with Cleveland Clinic Intensive Board Review of Internal
Medicine, 6e! The new edition contains ancillary and online exclusive
content, drawing from the expertise of the distinguished Cleveland
Clinic faculty. Taking a more clinical approach than other review texts,
this practical resource includes a unique and well-structured set of
exercises that offer a challenge at the end of each chapter.
Wallach's Interpretation of Diagnostic Tests, 10th Edition serves as a
practical guide to the use of laboratory tests which aids physicians in
using tests more effectively and efficiently by offering test outcomes,
possible meanings, differential diagnosis, and summaries of tests
available. The book is organized into 2 sections. The first section is
devoted to disease states. Where appropriate, a patient’s chief complaint
and/or physical findings are initially presented with subsequent
discussions focused on discrete disease states as they relate to a patient’s
chief complaint. The second section is devoted to an alphabetical
listing of laboratory tests while stressing the integration of the clinical
laboratory in the clinical decision making process. Test sensitivity,
specific and possible and negative probabilities are included whenever
appropriate. Microbiology tests are listed in a separate chapter.
