CLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS AT A GLANCE Jonathan Gleadle, Jonathan Li, Tuck Yong

Clinical Investigations at a Glance provides an up-to-date, evidence-based overview of diagnostic investigations, looking at their choice, importance AND interpretation for commonly presenting symptoms AND conditions. Designed to help develop the evidence-based use of investigations AND interpret results properly, the book provides a unique perspective ON many critical issues in medical testing, with the aim of improving diagnostic accuracy AND reducing unnecessary tests OR harm. Clinical Investigations at a Glance is structured in three parts: an overview of tests; common presentations (such as chest pain, nausea AND vomiting, weight loss AND anaemia,); AND conditions organized by body system, such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease AND nephrology. Key features include:

• How to interpret investigations, using high quality illustrations to compare `normal` AND `diseased` results
• Evidence-based, including references
• How to SELECT the most appropriate investigation, the accuracy of tests AND how to manage incidental findings
