Clinical dermatology - Rona M MacKie

This concise yet comprehensive textbook, which is illustrated in full colour throughout, has established itself as a favourite not only with undergraduate medical students, but also with nurses and pharmacists in practice and in training, and with general practitioners and other physicians seeking a clear and well-illustrated guide to dermatology.;In response to changes in the approach in medical education, this fourth edition is designed as a problem-solving book. Every chapter begins with a number of clinical cases. Suggested management plans are supplied at the end of the chapter. In addition to these problem-solving exercises, a number of projects are suggested, which can be carried out using either an on-line database or a reasonable medical library.;The fourth edition also sees other significant changes: many of the full colour illustrations to be found throughout the text are new for this edition, and the page size has been enlarged and the design updated to make the book easier and more appealing to use. However, features such as growth points and areas of development, familiar to users of previous editions, remain.;From Reviews of Previous Editions:;'It contains many excellent colour photographs, so for most readers the additional purchase of a dermatological atlas will be unnecessary...tightly packed with information about all the common and many of the less common skin diseases.'
