Pocket-sized and portable, Instant Work-ups: A Clinical Guide to Medicine offers all of the critical information physicians need to know in order to evaluate and diagnose a patient. The content is uniquely presented as a patient would present his or her case: with symptoms and abnormalities, as opposed to a diagnosis. Practical and easy to use, it provides clear work-up plans for the most commonly encountered medical conditions, providing quick, focused guidance with the flexibility to adapt to each unique patient.

    • Pocket-sized design makes it perfect for quick reference in the clinical setting.
    • Covers approximately 80 of the most commonly encountered medical conditions.
    • Chapters are alphabetically organized by topic for easy reference.
    • Topics are presented as a sign, symptom, or abnormal lab reading as a patient would present his or her case.
    • Every topic includes a brief background discussion, a list of important related materials, and a detailed list of the next lab or radiographic tests.
    • Describes each diagnostic test and includes algorithms for each topic to help guide diagnosis.

    • Additional Accessibility Information
      • For readers with color vision deficiency, use of color (e.g., in diagrams, graphics and charts, in prompts, or on buttons inviting a response) is not the sole means of graphical distinction or of conveying information
      • E-publication includes basic navigation (usually less detailed than TOC-based navigation)
      • Where links, controls or buttons are included in the content, the purpose or functionality of each link, control or button is apparent from the associated text alone - or where it is unclear, separate link, control or button descriptions are provided
      • All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
      • The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
