Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an introduction to logical structure specifically as it relates to clinical medicine. Doctors use logic every day in clinical medicine, but many have had no formal training in the field. This book solves that problem. Symbolic logic uses symbols to create logical structures. In clinical medicine, doctors transform signs of disease into symbols which are related to each other to describe disease activity. This gives physicians the power to conceptualize disease, design treatments for disease, and monitor disease activity. The fabric of contemporary clinical medicine is woven by the application of symbolic logic to the analysis of disease. Symbolic logic lays the foundation for a science of clinical medicine. This book explores the function of signs, what happens when signs of disease are treated as symbols, and how the creation of functional relationships between signs of disease leads to the classification of diseases. This leads to the concept of the diagnosis - which is the basis for effective treatment. The logical structure of differential diagnoses is explained. This kind of understanding is invaluable to the medical student and essential for the astute clinician. By mastering the ideas presented here the physician, and other individuals involved in health care, will gain the tools necessary to promote clear and coherent thought in clinical medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of medicine basically depends on three general concepts: an individual patient image, the individual disease course of this patient, and an expectation of the future development of the disease. Physicians use heuristics for the cognitive processing of these concepts. Basic clinical heuristics are put into three algorithms: a history-based-learning algorithm, a diagnostic-inferencing algorithm, and a prognostic-planning algorithm. A proto-theory of clinical reasoning for practicing physicians is proposed.

Book excerpt: When first published twenty years ago, The Logic of Medicine presented a new way of thinking about clinical medicine as a scholarly discipline as well as a profession. Since then, advances in research and technology have revolutionized both the practice and theory of medicine. In this new, extensively rewritten edition, Dr. Murphy includes changes to show how these different areas of scholarship may affect details of "the logic of medicine" without compromising its fundamental coherence. New to this edition are discussions of the challenge of the flood of new empirical data, new ideas in genetics, molecular biology, homeostasis, pathogenesis, cancer, aging, and Alzheimer's disease. Murphy also comments on such new theoretical topics as dynamic systems, chaos, and fractals and their impact on the burgeoning fields of philosophy and practice of medicine. Written with medical students in mind, the book includes a glossary, many new examples, and problems for solutions with comments on each. An entirely new chapter deals with modeling. Clinicians and researchers will also find the principles thought-provoking and illuminating.

Easily covers undergraduate medicine.’ ‘Pocket Essentials is a great little book to review the night before you start on a rotation. It is small enough that you can easily read over the chapter and then appear on the ward with a good idea of what is going on.’ ‘In short this book is concise, succinct and gets straight to the point.’ ‘This book summarises everything you need to know: causes, diagnoses and treatments.’ ‘I am finding this book very helpful and more importantly very concise. It has most things you need to know about common clinical pathologies.’ ‘... I turned to Pocket Essentials of Clinical Medicine as my clinical medicine reference guide – and what a guide! An excellent book, which gives you the clinical features, investigations and management for a whole variety of different illnesses. The book is clearly laid out, and even has normal blood chemistry values at the end. Do yourself a favour and buy this book!’ ‘This mini paperback is a must for anyone studying medicine. It gives all the information one would need and all without the pain of carrying around a large book.’ ‘I liked this book ... it was useful having a smaller reference book ... to carry around on wards etc. – it's more digestible and easier to follow than big K&C, and gives a little more background than the Oxford Handbook – and I know people who use it to revise for finals.’
