"Diagnostic images provide crucial information for the emergent care of the critically sick and injured. Effective clinical care requires expertise in the rapid and accurate interpretation of the many radiographic studies and their nuances used in the emergency department setting. The Atlas of Emergency Radiology provides nearly 1500 carefully selected diagnostic images combined with succinct descriptions of the radiographic features of over 330 emergent medical diagnoses to facilitate its readers in acquiring this expertise."

"The 16th edition of Basic & Clinical Pharmacology will recognize Dr. Bertram Katzung’s legacy of contribution to this book by retitling the book as Katzung’s Basic & Clinical Pharmacology and his mentorship of Dr. Todd W. Vanderah as editor for this edition. This edition continues the extensive use of full-color illustrations and expanded coverage of transporters, pharmacogenomics, and new drugs of all types emphasized in prior editions. The 16th edition also reflects the major expansion of large-molecule drugs in the pharmacopeia, with numerous new monoclonal antibodies and other biologic agents. Case studies accompany most chapters, and answers to questions posed in the case studies appear at the end of each chapter. "

"Basic Concepts in Pharmacology: What You Need to Know for Each Drug Class is...a book to help you organize your attack on the hundreds of drugs covered in pharmacology classes today."

"The primary goal of this book was to create a concise text on current radiologic imaging for medical students and residents not specializing in radiology. After the first two introductory chapters, subsequent chapters employ an organ-system approach. Imaging techniques pertinent to the organ system, including their appropriate indications and use, are presented. Question-oriented exercises highlight the most commonly encountered diseases for each organ system."

"This book is unique in containing a section entitled “Introduction to Clinical Thinking,” which introduces the reader, early in the text, to the logical processes involved in using neuroanatomy as a basis for thinking about patients. Since some trainees remember patients better than isolated facts, I have included discussions of clinical correlates and clinical illustrations that synthesize the most important characteristics of patients selected from an extensive clinical experience. Also included are illustrative clinical images including computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), both of normal brain and spinal cord, and of common clinical entities that trainees will likely encounter."

"The Color Atlas and Synopsis of Family Medicine is written for family physicians and all healthcare providers involved in primary care. It can also be invaluable to medical students, residents, internists, pediatricians, and dermatologists. It is available electronically for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all Android devices, Kindle, and on the web through Access Medicine. These electronic versions have allowed healthcare providers to access the images and content rapidly at the point-of-care."

"The 27th edition of Current Diagnosis & Treatment: Pediatrics (CDTP) features practical, up-to-date, well-referenced information on the care of children from birth through infancy and adolescence. CDTP emphasizes the clinical aspects of pediatric care while also covering important underlying principles. CDTP provides a guide to diagnosis, understanding, and treatment of the medical problems of all pediatric patients in an easy-to-use and readable format."

"Current Diagnosis and Treatment: Geriatrics, 3rd edition, is written for clinicians who provide care to older persons. In the context of a rapidly aging population, clinicians are continually adapting their practice to meet the needs of their older patients. Current Diagnosis and Treatment: Geriatrics provides a framework for using a person's functional and cognitive status, prognosis, and social context to guide diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. In this edition, authors apply the principles of geriatric medicine in different care settings to address common conditions and diseases and manage common symptoms and concerns encountered by clinicians in the care of older persons."

"CURRENT Medical Diagnosis & Treatment 2025 (CMDT 2025) is the 64th edition of this single-source reference for practitioners of adult medicine in both hospital and ambulatory settings. The book emphasizes the practical features of clinical diagnosis and patient management in all fields of internal medicine and in specialties of interest to primary care practitioners and to subspecialists who provide general care."

"The Color Atlas and Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology has been used by thousands of primary care physicians, dermatology residents, dermatologists, internists, and other health care providers principally because it facilitates dermatologic diagnosis by providing color photographs of skin lesions and, juxtaposed, a succinct summary outline of skin disorders as well as the skin signs of systemic diseases. It can be used as a clinical companion, as a way to look up specific information or as a way to test oneself in the important features of the clinical examination. "

"...this edition of Ganong contains new pedagogical features known as Clinical Concept Checks. These vignettes, added to every chapter, invite the students to apply their physiological insights to a narrative clinical scenario to check and reinforce understanding. Together with substantive updates to the illustrations contained in the volume, we hope to have rendered the text even more useful to those who are studying physiology with an end goal of clinical practice."

"While medicine and medical education have evolved, readers will appreciate how this classic textbook has retained enduring features that have distinguished it among medical texts—a sharp focus on the clinical presentation of disease, expert in-depth summaries of pathophysiology and treatment, and highlights of emerging frontiers of science and medicine. Indeed, Harrison’s retains its conviction that, in the profession of medicine, we are all perpetual students with lifelong learning as our common goal. "

"To promote and facilitate the book’s utility as an educational resource for Geriatric Medicine fellows in training and others, each chapter includes learning objectives and key clinical points. These have been linked to one or more of the Geriatric Fellowship Curriculum milestones to allow easy access by readers. "

"The book is written, with medical students in mind, as an alternative to the traditionally large (and hard to learn) reference textbooks. We believe that trainees should learn the essentials before delving into the subjects in depth. This up-to-date book contains practical and concise descriptions and high-quality illustrations. State-of-the-art techniques and the most common types of clinical cases encountered in daily practice are discussed."

"This book utilizes an integrated approach to medical genetics by combining a tailored introduction to essential general genetics and up-to-date coverage of medical genetics following the curriculum recommended by the Association of Professors of Human Genetics and Medical Genetics and by the American Society of Human Genetics Guidelines. Core genetic principles are reviewed with an emphasis on mechanisms and unifying concepts."

"This edition contains the latest in leadership training, surgical science, surgical techniques, and therapy for students, residents, fellows, and surgeons. Another important component of this new edition is the artwork. "

"While a single editor compiled Tintinalli’s first Study Guide, the eighth edition of Tintinalli’s Emergency Medicine Manual includes contributors from across the globe, including several African nations where emergency medicine is an emerging specialty. The eighth edition includes “Palliative Care,” which was certainly not on emergency medicine’s radar in 1979, but is now recognized as a subspecialty of our discipline."

"For almost six decades, General Ophthalmology has served as a concise, current, and authoritative review of the subject for medical students, ophthalmology residents, practicing ophthalmologists, nurses, optometrists, and colleagues in other fields of medicine and surgery, as well as health-related professionals."

In Section 4, gynecologic oncology is discussed."

"Over its 26 editions, Williams Obstetrics has aimed to serve practicing obstetricians and midwives in the bedside care of their patients. With its detailed explanations of disease pathophysiology and treatment fundamentals, it provides a bedrock text for residents who are training in Obstetrics or in Family Medicine specialties. Fellows in Maternal–Fetal Medicine will benefit from its additional discussions of complicated pathology and management. Last, Williams Obstetrics can aid specialists who act as consultants for gravidas with non-pregnancy-related disorders."
