Riassunto

Murtagh's General Practice is now available in this outstanding fourth edition. Widely recognised as the most influential publication for general practice and primary health care, substantial changes have been made for this revision to ensure currency, readability and ease of se.

This edition includes six new chapters for access to current guidelines on nasal disorders, surgical problems in children, infections in pregnancy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic heart failure and thrombosis and thromboembolism.

For the first time, Murtagh's General Practice is produced in full colour, with over 600 illustrations. A colour artwork program has been consistently applied to the popular clean and simple diagrams to enhance understanding. Over 100 clinical photos provide authentic and visual examples of many conditions.

A significantly enhanced index has many more sub categories with singular page references to ensure you can find the exact information required.
