Requirements: .PDF reader, 156.0mb
Overview: Publication of this new edition of the Oxford Textbook of Medicine prompts consideration of the precepts and practices of medicine in a world that faces unprecedented challenges.There is much to celebrate, and—with many new contributors—we have sought throughout the book to reflect the revolutionary effects of discovery in the medical sciences on clinical practice. Spectacular advances have been made at the most fundamental level and these continue to inspire our belief that improved prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease will eventually relieve suffering.
The popular term, ‘transnational medicine’, reflects the shared optimism of many research agencies.
The Fifth edition has been rigorously revised and updated. It differs most blatantly from previous editions in having the gift of color throughout and the inclusion of ‘Essentials’ (mostly written and all edited by John Firth) that summarize the main points of each chapter. The introductory Sections 2 and 3 include eight new chapters on topics ranging from the future of clinical trials, the evaluation and provision of effective medicines, to health promotion. This expansion reflects the ever burgeoning successes, constraints and frustrations of modern medicine. New sciences like stem cell biology, and emerging pathogens such as SARS, H1N1 and drug-resistant bacteria and malaria parasites, are well represented in our pages, and we have introduced some highly topical themes, notably Darwinian Medicine and the context of Human Disasters.
