Cecil Essentials of Medicine (Cecil Medicine) by Thomas E. Andreoli MD MACP FRCP(Edin)

Concise yet comprehensive, this edition is directed toward undergraduate medical students and early-stage house officers, but practitioners in internal medicine will also find its succinct account of internal medicine's advances in diagnosis and overall therapy vital. Includes a section on disorders and care of aging persons as well as completely rewritten sections on renal diseases, diseases of bone and mineral metabolism, musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases, and infectious diseases, particularly dealing with AIDS. Tables, diagrams, and graphs facilitate understanding.
