Features: This book breaks away from the traditional framework of clinical medicine textbooks, offering a broad scope with a strong emphasis on knowledge. The entire book focuses on holistic optimization, covering major professional areas in key clinical disciplines such as diagnostics, internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and pediatrics. It is suitable as a textbook for non-clinical medicine majors and can also serve as a reference for readers interested in clinical medicine. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of clinical medicine and related content, divided into two parts: General Principles and Specific Topics. In the General Principles section, diagnostic techniques serve as the main thread, including various commonly used clinical examinations, laboratory tests, non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments, as well as new knowledge in clinical epidemiology. It also introduces, for the first time, the new concept of evidence-based medicine and new models of clinical practice. In the Specific Topics section, common and frequently occurring diseases are prioritized, with appropriate introductions to recent research advancements and new diseases (e.g., AIDS) in the field of clinical medicine. It also covers diagnostic knowledge and briefly outlines treatment principles.
