Davidson's Principles And Practice Of Medicine 24th Edition

Since davidson textbook of medicine, an initial publication more than seventy years ago, Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine has sold well over two million copies to medical students, doctors, and other health professionals all over the world. This 24th edition which has been completely revised and updated, talks about the pathophysiology and clinical aspects of the most common diseases seen in the different subspecialties of adult medicine. 

It also details how to recognize, investigate, diagnose, and treat these conditions.  Davidson's has been around for a long time because it is up-to-date with how modern medicine is taught and gives a lot of reliable information in an interesting, condensed, and beautifully illustrated way.

We have made some alterations to the format and content of this new edition. The first eight chapters of Davidson's principles and practice of medicine 24th edition talk about genetics, immunology, infectious diseases, population health, oncology, and pain management, as well as the basics of making clinical decisions and writing prescriptions. Common problems in emergency medicine are discussed in this book, as well as how to spot and treat a very sick patient. Subsequent chapters include medical emergencies in poisoning, envenomation, and medicine in austere conditions.

The following disease-specific chapters in the davidson textbook of medicine cover all of the major medical subspecialties and have all been completely updated to reflect the most recent research and clinical developments. While our understanding of the virology, epidemiology, clinical impact, and management of SARS-CoV-2 is still developing, we have added a new section on these fundamental aspects of this critically important topic to Chapter 13, as well as Chapter 6 and, where relevant, elsewhere in the book, as we publish the 24th edition while the world is in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The improvements made in the most recent versions have been kept and, in many cases, expanded upon. Comprehensive reviews of the "Clinical Examination," which have been very popular, have been updated and made bigger. The "Presenting Problems" sections in Davidson's principles and practice of medicine 24th edition, still offer a helpful summary of the most prevalent presentations for each illness category. 

The "In Old Age," "In Pregnancy," and "In Adolescence" boxes, highlight crucial practical issues in the presentation and care of the older adult, women with medical conditions who are pregnant or intend to become pregnant, and adolescents transitioning between pediatric and adult services, have been preserved together with the "Emergency" and "Practice Point" boxes.

Students achieve academic success when they absorb knowledge from a variety of resources, and this book is only one of many tools that will help its readers succeed. To complement the 23rd edition of Davidson's, we have created a self-testing companion book called Davidson's Assessment in Medicine, which includes more than 1250 MCQs written just for this edition. 

Davidson's has traditionally been used in tandem with Macleod's Clinical Examination and Principles and Practice of Surgery, and this remains true today. Our "family" has grown with the publishing of Macleod's Clinical Diagnosis, which provides a methodical approach to the differential diagnosis of symptoms and indications, and Davidson's Essentials of Medicine, a condensed version of the main work, now in its third edition. Congratulations are in order for the editors and authors of these books for carrying on the custom of producing readable and beautifully illustrated tomes.
