Pediatrics: Just the Facts, Vol. 1

Everything a resident or clinician needs-to-know about pediatric medicine in a concise bulleted format. Written by a preeminent team of clinicians from the top children’s hospitals in the country, this quick-reference and board review is organized according to the clinical issues tested on the Board of Pediatrics Examination.

Intended for students and nurse practitioners, this reference reviews the principles of pediatric care, and summarizes the epidemiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders as they present in children. The 193 contributions are divided into 23 chapters on such topics as emergency situations, neonatal critical care, allergies, gastrointestinal disease, genetic diseases, malignancies, neurologic problems, and behavioral disorders. Most of the contributors teach at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
