A Clinical Handbook
by Ahmad Al-Sukaini|Mohsin Azam|Ash Samanta
Rheumatology: A clinical handbook is an essential resource for medical students who need an introduction, understanding and overview of the subject. Most competing texts either burden medical students with information they do not require, or cover rheumatology alongside orthopaedics and as a result compromise fundamentals of rheumatology. This book is different it provides all the information students need during their rheumatology placement and signposts them to where they can find further information. A definition and brief pathophysiology for each condition is provided, which is linked to the respective clinical features. The book covers the core elements of diagnosis and treatment based on the latest national guidelines to swiftly bring students and junior doctors in training up-to-date. Self-assessment questions and an OSCE chapter provide a way of checking that users have understood and grasped the core material, as well as enabling students to be well equipped for their written and OSCE examinations. Written by two medical students and an experienced consultant rheumatologist, the book combines a reader-friendly writing style with coverage of the material through clinical experience of a professional in the field. Printed in full colour throughout, with an attractive design, a clear and concise writing style as well as a range of pedagogical features including an array of mnemonics, pictures and diagrams, Rheumatology: A clinical handbook is exactly the sort of book medical students and newly qualified doctors would benefit from.

Health & Personal Development5h 21m
by Gabriela Couturier
5h 21m is a literary essay that reflects upon running and marathons, trying to answer essential questions, such as: why and to what purpose does a person put on a pair of sneakers and runs. This is not a training manual or a book about the techniques of long distance running. Using running as a prop, the author talks about issues of youth, health, travels, and death. This is also an excercise in creative writing, and how it intersects with certain types of athletic pursuits. Also, the title refers to the 5 hours and 21 minutes which were the authors first registered time running the marathon’s distance of 26.2 miles.
