High-Yieldo Lung

High-Yield(TM) Lung is the first in a series of High-Yield(TM) Systems books by a best-selling medical textbook author that cover the basic sciences of the medical school curriculum using a systems-based approach. This approach helps students integrate their first two years' course material and offers excellent preparation for USMLE Step 1 and clinical rotations. Chapters cover each basic science--embryology, gross anatomy, radiology, histology, physiology, pathology, microbiology, and pharmacology--as it relates to the pulmonary system. The book is replete with radiographs, CT and MRI scans, and micrographs of normal tissue and pathologic conditions. Sections of the book are tabbed for easy reference. Doody's Review Service Update, 09-JUN-06, K. P. Ravikrishnan, FRCP (C) FACP FCCP (William Beaumont Hospitals) -- "This book, as the author points out, is helpful for medical students preparing for the USMLE Step 1. Residents in training seeking for "Pearls in clinical medicine" will find this book useful preparing for rounds and morning report. Medical educators helping the students preparing for the test will also find this book very useful. Diagrams and illustrations used in this book are extremely helpful in simplifying complex topics. This highly organized text with a good table of contents and index is a superb resource for review of the topics in days and precious hours before the test."
