Managing Clinically Important Drug Interactions edited by Philip D. Hansten, John R. Horn, (Facts & Comparisons) Hansten and Horn Managing Clinically Important Drug Interactions is derived from our more comprehensive book, Drug Interactions Analysis and Management. Given that the latter book has more than 1000 pages, users have requested a smaller book with a focus on those drug interactions that have the most potential for causing harm. Accordingly, Managing Clinically Important Drug Interactions  does not contain Class 4 or Class 5 interactions. To save addi­tional space, we have also removed the "Mechanism" and "Clinical Evaluation" sec­tions from the monographs. More

Clinical Practice

Clinical Examination 3rd Edition by Owen Epstein (Mosby) Becoming a physician involves the acquisition of both knowledge and skills.

Would any intern risk diagnosing lobar pneumonia or ankylosing spondylitis solely on the basis of the history and physical examination? It is paradoxical, then, that high technology -- in the form of an interactive CD-ROM -- can now be used by physicians for assistance in the art of clinical examination. More
