Practical Paediatric
Problems: A Textbook for MRCPCH
Robert Carachi, T. J. Beattie
This innovative text, modelled on the current RCPCH syllabus for paediatric
training, provides all the information that the senior house officer and
specialist registrar in paediatrics will need during training and when preparing
for the MRCPCH examination. A series of chapters discussing general principles
in paediatric medicine is followed by a section covering the problems associated
with the major body systems. Each chapter within this latter section is divided
into three elements: * Element A covers the background basic science to the
particular problems being discussed in the chapter, including basic embryology
and anatomy, biology and physiology. A description of the techniques involved in
investigation where these will be critical to the diagnoses that follow is also
included here. * Element B presents the core system problems for the chapter.
Tables are provided to summarise the different causes, classifications and
differential diagnoses, clinical features, key investigations, therapeutic
options and outcomes. Concise supporting text provides more detailed information
where appropriate. Selected short case histories are also included to highlight
the key issues covered in the chapter. * Element C is a concise bibliography,
incorporating a short series of key primary papers and review articles and
suggestions for further reading. Subjects covered under general principles
include developmental paediatrics, behavioural issues and learning difficulties,
community paediatrics and clinical pharmacology. Clinical chapters include the
respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine and all other body systems. Haematology,
oncology, psychiatry, surgical problems and tropical paediatric medicine are
also covered here. All chapters contain up-to-date and appropriate information
written by practising paediatricians who are each acknowledged specialists in
their own field. Each chapter concludes with an extended grey case and the
reader will be challenged to offer possible diagnoses, investigations and
treatment options, with answers and explanations provided at the end of the
book. This textbook will fast become an indispensable guide to the specialty for
all trainee paediatricians in preparation for the MRCPCH examination and beyond.
Can Have Books
-
Paediatric Radiology for
MRCPCH/FRCR
Christopher Schelvan, Annabel Copeman, Jane Young, Jacqueline Davis
The book is clearly written and contains a lot of information. Images are good
quality and demonstrate the abnormalities well. Written for postgraduates
revising for exams in paediatrics and radiology, this study-aid covers a wide
range of paediatric pathology, including the subject of imaging. The book
contains around 100 different cases. Each case comprises a radiological image or
images, a succinct clinical history, brief questions and a discussion that
includes a synopsis of the condition illustrated and suggestions for further
reading. The aim is to identify the radiological abnormality and to select the
most likely diagnosis within the clinical context. Most cases are common
paediatric and neonatal problems although rarer conditions are included.
Suggested answers follow an explanation of the radiological findings. In
addition to these cases there is an introductory chapter on basic concepts in
imaging which describes the different modalities available, provides the
scientific information required to help the reader understand the different
techniques, and considers the relative cost of different investigations.
