Product Description
Product Description
The highly successful first edition of Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic and
Laboratory Tests received rave reviews for its full-colour design and illustrations,
user-friendly organization and format, comprehensiveness and readability. The
Manual is a complete resource for nurses and other health professionals in either
academic or clinical settings. It is the first and only full-colour lab test book
available and is liberally illustrated with colour photos and drawings that show
exactly how various tests are performed. Virtually every clinically significant test is
covered, including the latest allergy blood testing, atrial natriuretic factor,
homocysteine, N-telopeptide, and troponins. The Manual is written in the clear
style that has become the hallmark of its authors, Kathleen and Timothy
Pagana. Mosby's Manual is the most thorough, reliable, up-to-date, and easy-to-use lab test book on the market.
The chapters of the Manual are organized by test type. Each chapter opens with a list of each test covered in the chapter, including page numbers for easy reference. This handy list is followed by an overview of the test type covered in the chapter, including specimen collection techniques. The tests within each chapter are then presented in alphabetical order, making each test easy-to-find. The test entries clearly and consistently present information in a sequence that best simulates priorities in clinical practice, and include the following: Test Name (including alternative test names and abbreviations), Normal Findings, Indications, Test Explanation, Contraindications, Potential Complications, Interfering Factors, Procedure and Patient Care (broken down into Before, During, and After), Test Results and Clinical Significance, and Related Tests.

2nd year med students dream, 1 Sep 2005
By Chad A. Ruechel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests (Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic & Laboratory Tests) (Paperback)
As a 2nd year PBL (problems based learning) med student I have found this book to be excellent. It provides in depth information on many standard tests. It does a good job of integrating physiology and even explains false highs and lows.

STAIGHTFORWARD, COMPREHENSIVE AND VERSATILE, 22 Jan 2003
By reviewer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests (Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic & Laboratory Tests) (Paperback)
Be it biochemistry, microbiology, chemical pathology, parasitology or radiography, this book assembled all the clinical techniques that an investigating scientist would need. It is comprehensive and versatile. Detailed information were provided sequentially.Each section of the book describes all the relevant clinical procedures, using straightforward illustrations. Everything about it is practical.
It is a versatile manual which every clinician and lab scientist, (including trainees), would value very much.
And, it carries a reasonable price-tag.
