Equine Internal Medicine is the only equine book devoted solely to internal medicine. This problem-oriented book is organized into two primary sections. Part 1 focuses on the mechanisms underlying disease and the principles underlying treatment. Part 2 takes a body systems approach to common problems. Individual diseases are discussed in terms of anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, and treatment.
* Editors and contributors are authorities in their fields.
* The book takes a problem-based approach to understanding equine internal medicine and demonstrates the importance of evidence-based medicine.
* Pathophysiology is emphasized throughout, providing a sound basis for discussions of the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis that follow.
* Body systems chapters begin with a thorough discussion of the diagnostic method appropriate to the system, including physical examination, clinical pathology, radiography, endoscopy, and ultrasonography.
* Information is current and well referenced.
* Flow charts, diagrams, and algorithms clarify and enhance complex material.
