Features: This book consists of 10 general chapters, focusing on the development direction of internal medicine and the progress in diagnostics and therapeutics. It also provides an overview of fundamental theories closely related to internal medicine, such as medical genetics, immunology, hormones, and modern biology, along with their advancements. Additionally, it covers the basics of oncology, geriatrics, clinical pharmacology, and clinical epidemiology. The detailed chapters include 12 sections on infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, digestive system diseases, hematological diseases, endocrine diseases, nutritional and metabolic diseases, renal and urological diseases, rheumatic diseases, genetic diseases, neurological diseases, and acute poisoning. The first few chapters of each section serve as general introductions to the respective systems, primarily focusing on the characteristics, classification, diagnosis, and functional examination methods of diseases in that system. The subsequent chapters are organized by specific diseases. The selection of diseases prioritizes those more common in adults while also including some rare conditions. For diseases that pose significant threats to public health, such as viral hepatitis, tuberculosis, coronary heart disease, lung cancer, gastrointestinal tumors, and cerebrovascular diseases, the book dedicates more space to their discussion. High-prevalence diseases like rheumatic diseases, as well as fields with recent breakthroughs in diagnosis and treatment, such as genetic diseases, are also extensively covered. The book is divided into two volumes. The first volume includes the general chapters and the sections on infectious diseases, cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive system diseases. The second volume contains the sections on hematological diseases, endocrine diseases, nutritional and metabolic diseases, renal diseases, rheumatic diseases, genetic diseases, neurological diseases, acute poisoning, as well as clinical reference values and an index.
