Clinical Methods 4th Edition

The thoroughly revised and updated edition of the successful and popular book comes with the premise to fulfill the requirements of students pursuing MBBS or post-graduate courses in Pediatrics. The last three editions of this book received a tremendous response by the students and teachers of pediatrics in India and other countries of South Asia. The book has now established itself as the leading text in its category. Release of the fourth edition, within 8 years of its first release in 2009, is a testimony to this fact.

The entire text is thoroughly revised and updated to suit students pursuing post-graduation courses in Pediatrics. We have included the recent 2017 ICMR recommendations on composition of Indian foods in the chapter on dietary assessment. Chapter on anthropometry has been updated by inclusion of recent Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) Growth Charts for children older than 5 years. New International Intergrowth charts for postnatal growth of term and preterm newborn are now provided in the chapter on examination of the newborn. In keeping with the demand and need of undergraduate students, we have added a new chapter on clinical approach to common cases in Pediatrics. The chapter on examination of nervous system is completely rewritten.

This book retains its major charms and strengths in terms of a pleasing 4-color format, student-friendly presentation, logical concepts, easy language, and graphical representation for easy retention. Also includes a large number of figures and photographs to facilitate better visualization of clinical examination and diagnosis.
