Written by the same author team as the successful and well-regarded Concise Paediatrics for postgraduates, Easy Paediatrics is a textbook specifically written for medical students. Easy Paediatrics is structured in a systems-based fashion, with additional chapters on subjects such as history and examination, development, genetics, emergencies and surgery. The material is presented logically with presentations, clinical findings, investigations and management options, and useful boxes covering differential diagnoses, causes and complications are also included to complete the picture. Clinical photographs and illustrative diagrams are provided throughout to help the student visualise what they are reading about, and the book is enhanced by a companion website, which contains OSCE-style clinical scenarios and MCQs for all the body systems, so the reader can test what they have learned. Presented in an easy-to-remember style, Easy Paediatrics gives the medical student everything they need to succeed in their paediatrics modules, without bombarding them with excess knowledge that will not be covered in their exams.

Fully revised, this is an updated new edition of a much-loved book which has built a reputation for pithy, entertaining good sense over the course of six editions. 'Children are different. Paediatrics is much more than medicine miniaturised.' From reviews of the previous edition: 'All in all a very handy book for the student, the resident or other professionals working with children. I had a lot of fun reading it.' 'The book is full of wonderful illustrations, and funny and profound advice with quotations, like the words of Sir Dominic Corrigan (1853): "The trouble with many doctors is not that they do not know enough but that they do not see enough", or the advice to teach thy tongue to say" "I do not know" (Rabbi Moses Maimonides or Rambam, 1135-1204). I have used this book for my final medical year paediatrics exams, the DCH and the MRCP and it has been a great help. It reminds us of the most important and basic things - history and examination, and of course a friendly demeanour.' - Short, manageable chapters - Clinical examples of examination techniques - Very helpful tips and topics section - Clinical checklists - Simply illustrated - Updated throughout - New section of 'questions of fives' questions - Short glossary of Latin terms

Paediatric Intensive Care gives practical and realistic advice for all those who care for critically ill children. Organised predominantly by system or speciality for easy reference, it also comprehensively covers the underlying principles that guide clinicians in every day practice.

Nearly half of all US adults have difficulty understanding and using health information. Patients with limited health literacy have less knowledge of disease management and health-promoting behaviors, report poorer health status, and are less likely to use preventive services. Many of the parents of the children you care for likely have limited health literacy and all of them can benefit from a plain language approach to communication. Plain Language Pediatrics combines health literacy and plain language principles to present information in a way that makes it as easy as possible for everyone to understand, and applies these principles to a variety of ambulatory acute, chronic, and preventive conditions. Common pediatric topics such as asthma, ADHD, ear infections, and medical dosing are addressed in detail. This robust resource is divided into 2 parts. Part I explores limited health literacy, including the scope of the problem, how it affects children in particular, and how health care providers can address and overcome health literacy issues with patients and their caregivers. At the heart of Part II in Plain Language Pediatrics is a new series of 25 reproducible* patient education handouts in both English and Spanish that feature Need-to-know information up front Fewer health care terms and jargon Practical pronunciation guides Low reading levels User-friendly layouts Simple, purposeful illustrations Specific topics include: ADHD--What Is ADHD? ADHD--What to Do for ADHD Asthma Asthma Triggers Bedwetting Bronchiolitis--RSV, Bronchiolitis, and Your Baby Calcium ...
