The Saint-Frances Guide to Pediatrics (Saint-Frances Guide Series)

by Sanjay Saint

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This pocket-sized handbook is intended for medical students and beginning house officers. Its focus is to provide a succinct problem-based format for identifying disease processes, working up a differential diagnosis, employing the appropriate treatment, and anticipating the clinical course of the illness. The list of covered topics was generated based on the 100 most common pediatric admission and outpatient diagnoses at the top-ranked University of Washington's Children's Hospital and Medical Center. The book uses hot keys, mnemonics, tables and figures to help readers remember important facts. The authors are teaching residents at the University of Washington, and have used this material successfully in the training of medical students at their institution.

Book News Annotation:

This handbook provides a foundation upon which to begin patient management. Chapters are management based, with a special emphasis on anticipating the potential complications of the given diagnosis. Pathophysiology is discussed as much as necessary to understand the disease process, symptoms, and treatment. Migita is affiliated with Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center; Christakis, with the University of Washington School of Medicine.
