Editorial Reviews for Cecil Textbook of Medicine ; Two Volume Set (Cecil Textbook of Medicine) Cecil Textbook of Medicine has been one of the world's most trusted medical references since its original publication in 1927. In the 22nd edition of this classic text, more than 450 renowned authorities present the very latest clinic knowledge augmented by a superb new full 4-color design and internal navigation system. Here you'll continue to find comprehensive coverage of the scientific foundations and biological basis of disease processes; an introduction to clinical practice protocols; current concepts of pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment -- all presented by distinguished experts in a new user friendly, graphically appealing 4-color format. The core of the text continues to encompass the disorders of the major organ systems, including the approach to the patient, clinical manifestations, diagnostic procedures, and treatment strategies. Text includes a bonus CD-ROM with all of the text's illustrations, tables, and algorithms. A new section on clinical pharmacology provides sound theoretical basis for pharmacotherapy critical to medical practice New evidence-based medicine summaries in therapy sections provide Grade A (randomized controlled trial) evidence, including reference sources, for the leading current therapeutic and management recommendation. The expanded oncology section provides thorough coverage of all key cancers, including completely new coverage of some cancers (eg, testicular cancer) New full 4-color design permits the addition of hundreds of new color photos as well as the integration of old photos into the text at the appropriate point (rather than as color plates far away from the chapter) Unique internal navigation system, including diagnostic and 'clinical syndrome' algorithms and treatment summary tables designed for optimal and timely retrieval of information Comprehensive coverage of pathogenesis (including molecular genetics), diagnosis, and therapy to explain "why" behind the "how" Flow diagrams facilitating the best approach to diagnosis and treatment of the most common complaints and diseases
Consumer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: GREAT! Comment: Arrived on time, exactly what I asked for, great condition, no problems. I would definitely order again! Customer Rating: Summary: Practicity and reliable information Comment: This book, not surprisingly as a Cecil's line book, is wonderful.The material is great, the figures are rich, well printed and make even more easier to comprehend what is written. The texts are very comprehensive, the subdivisions inside the book and the colorful appearance make it very practical, easy and fast to consult. I find all the answers i'm looking for, in an "uptodated" manner, based on reliable and recent articles published even at 2007, making me feel that I have reliable information and the newest scientific knowledge available in the world. I feel it is what i used to need as my Clinical medicine book. I received it in the 18th business day after my purchase, that means exactly inside the period of time i was told by "Amazon.com". Customer Rating: Summary: You have been warned...Better options outhere Comment: When I bought this book I was looking for the most updated and complete Internal Medicine book available to use as a base for my training (to check 1 or 2 chapters a day besides my daily clinical duties). And it is probably is at this time. I had the opportunity to read some chapters from the previous edition and I liked the style and I thought it was easy reading. So when the new edition came, I gave it all my confidence. So far, the clinical information is as expected for this type of books. It is a good general resource. It won't help you to resolve the day to day clinical questions and scenarios for particular patients. However for someone looking to have a good base of IM I would say it is enough. The major drawbacks of this book is probably its editorial policies. The quality of the paper is still very cheap for the price. The enhanced online edition is the same as the cheaper edition, but just with the supposed benefit of getting updates. What is more irritating is that I invested more money expecting full usability with a supposed enhanced online features and I am having the same inconvenient that using the free access through MDconsult in my campus. If you enjoy printing 1 or 2 chapters for reading and if you try to avoid carrying the heavy weight paper book, await for the new Harrison or go for the ACP medicine. Both of them have a simpler tools for printing chapters with just 1 click (ACP medicine even allow you to print in PDF format). I have a hard time printing chapters, cause you have to print almost page by page, and often you will see how the online format of this book will make you use 1 page for a single paragraph or even 1-2 lines. What a waste of time and paper! This book might be a good clinical resource but there are a lot of other options out there that give you more for your money. That's the beauty of the competence! If you ask me if I will buy other cecils edition or elsevier product, I would say: no, nor in my worst nightmares! I just don't trust them anymore. I wish I had more information available about the features of the online version. I would have saved my money and my time. Customer Rating: Summary: Still the Very Best! Comment: I have had several editions of "Cecil- Textbook of Medicine" over many years. They remain, for those of us who still do like books more than E-information, wonderful learning experiences. This current edition seems carefully edited, a very attractive textbook with multiple colors now, and even the print may be a bit bigger in this new one. I do think the general internal medicine coverage is extremely well organized and quite complete. (This Expert premium edition has the on-line version as well, so then one has it all)! I think it is still the book to beat for busy practitioners in all forms of primary care, as well as medical students. Customer Rating: Summary: Cecil is once agaon THE textbook of medicine Comment: The new Cecil (23rd edition) set a new high standard for an Internal Medicine Textbook. Up until now Harrison has been my standard textbook but with the 23rd Cecil, I have to say:" Hasta la vista, Harrison" . I have been using it for the past few weeks and I must say I am very impressed. The quality of printing is superb; the book is filled with color figures, useful algorithms (better than UptoDate's), beautifical clinical pictures, and highly intelligent use of color text. Of course, the authors of such an important textbook are the Who's who in medicine, but the style of writing is not as condescending as Harrison's. The therapy section of each disorder is also highly practical and highly current. The use of the principle of evidence based medicine and the incorporation of treatment guidelines made this textbook highly modern. Even psychosocial oriented practitioners will enjoy the psychiatry chapter in this book: the discussion of psychopharmacology of various disorders is deep without being long-winded. I have been using Medstudy for my board recertification, but now I am spending more time flipping through Cecil than any other Internal Medicine books. For day to day use in the clinic, UptoDate is slightly more up-to-date. But for learning and studying, Cecil is much more practical and it is an extremely good-buy. I just love those algorithms. Drs. Goldman and Ausiello, thank you for your wonderful book. And now Harrison's editors have to try to play catch up with your excellant work. Residents will soon be quoting from Cecil's rather than Harrison's in morning round as the ultimate authority in Internal Medicine.
