Features: This book aims to provide practical, effective, concise, and easily accessible clinical reference materials for TCM or integrated Chinese and Western medicine physicians. Basic knowledge of TCM and Western medicine is briefly explained without unnecessary elaboration. The book covers 200 Western medicine diseases across various clinical disciplines. The selection criteria for diseases require reliable TCM efficacy or no significant advantage over integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment. Diseases that do not meet these criteria are not included. For each selected disease, both diagnostic key points and treatment are introduced. Diagnostic key points focus on Western medicine content, generally covering etiology, clinical manifestations, and tests and examinations, presented concisely. The treatment section first lists clinical evaluations, objectively introducing the current status and advantages of TCM and Western medicine treatments to help doctors choose appropriate treatment plans and anticipate potential outcomes. The treatment primarily emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, while other TCM methods are introduced based on the specific conditions of each discipline and disease, focusing on those with reliable efficacy and clinical applicability. The syndrome differentiation and treatment section includes key points of syndrome differentiation, syndrome differentiation and treatment, and commonly used TCM patent medicines. The syndrome differentiation and treatment section not only lists syndromes, treatment methods, and prescriptions but also provides reference dosages for each herb to meet the needs of general readers. TCM patent medicines are also selected based on syndrome differentiation and include dosage instructions for administration.
