ATLAS OF PEDIATRIC PHYSICAL DIAGNOSIS 7th EDITION
In pediatrics, visual recognition of a variety of disorders is often times the key factor in diagnosis. Experienced clinicians who have seen a wide spectrum of disorders carry a wealth of information for diagnosis and teaching. Despite the increased reliance on technology to make a diagnosis, history and physical examination remain as the
foundation for clinical assessment of the patient.
The Atlas of Pediatric Physical Diagnosis 7th edition is created to enhance the clinical experience of students, residents, nurses, and practitioners who care for children. Author is very pleased with the reception of the first six editions of the Atlas, but have heard from many readers for the need of new and updated information. Every chapter in the seventh edition has been reviewed, revised and updated. Additional contributors have provided greater depth and dimension to existing chapters and some chapters have been entirely rewritten. New photographs and diagnostic images have been included in many chapters.
New information about vascular anomalies, including recognition and diagnosis, classification, evaluation and prognosis necessitated the addition of a new chapter solely on Vascular Anomalies in children. The Atlas is by no means encyclopedic, but rather presents an overview of clinical disorders that lend themselves to visual diagnosis.
Author have attempted to select disorders that are common or important and, when relevant, to describe the spectrum of clinical findings. The accompanying text deliberately emphasizes pertinent historical factors, examination techniques, visual findings, and diagnostic methods rather than therapy. We firmly believe that a
careful history and physical examination are the best tools the clinician has for diagnosis and treatment. Atlas of Pediatric Physical Diagnosis continues to serve as a useful and practical reference for anyone who cares for children.
