This problem-oriented book is organized into two primary sections. Part 1 focuses on the mechanisms underlying disease and the principles underlying treatment. Part 2 takes a body systems approach to common problems. Individual diseases are discussed in terms of anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, and treatment. Editors and contributors are authorities in their fields. The book takes a problem-based approach to understanding equine internal medicine and demonstrates the importance of evidence-based medicine. Pathophysiology is emphasized throughout, providing a sound basis for discussions of the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis that follow. Body systems chapters begin with a thorough discussion of the diagnostic method appropriate to the system, including physical examination, clinical pathology, radiography, endoscopy, and ultrasonography. Information is current and well referenced. Flow charts, diagrams, and algorithms clarify and enhance complex material. The 2nd edition features a new editor, Debra C. Sellon, DVM. Two new chapters have been added: Critical Care (Chapter 6) and Epidemiology (Chapter 21). New content has been added to Clinical Approach to Commonly Encountered Problems (Chapter 3): changes in body temperature, diarrhea, and clinical assessment of poor performance. The chapters on Pharmacology (Chapter 4) and Hematopoietic System (Chapter 12) both have new authors and are totally rewritten and updated. The chapter on the Gastrointestinal System (Chapter 13) has new authors and new sections on examination for disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, gastrointestinal inflammation, diarrhea, malabsorption syndromes and maldigestion, and mucosal injury and repair. Endocrine Disorders (Chapter 18) has new authors, has been completely rewritten, and includes a new section on magnesium disorders. New content includes significant updates to the coverage of foal medicine, as well as the addition of a section devoted to pain management.
