Features: This book is the English supplementary textbook for the five-year and seven-year planned curriculum of medical colleges across the country. It was compiled to embody the principles of being "new, concise, and in-depth," to strengthen students' professional English training, and to help them stay informed about the latest academic trends internationally. The content is primarily excerpted from McGraw-Hill's Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment. The arrangement follows the order of the Chinese edition of Internal Medicine for easy comparison. The book includes a detailed index for convenient reference and focuses more on diagnosis and treatment to emphasize practicality, differing slightly from the Chinese edition. Due to the time difference in the starting points of the Chinese and English textbook compilations, some content in this book may be more up-to-date than the Chinese edition of Internal Medicine. The treatment sections are very detailed, but to consider students' workload, the teaching focus is on key points, with detailed content reserved for reference during clinical internships. The original version of this textbook is highly authoritative academically and fully reflects the principles of evidence-based medicine. The excerpts are as faithful as possible to the English original. Therefore, this textbook may also be of reference value to physicians at all levels of clinical practice. It must be emphasized that to help students understand the writing style of the English original textbook, this book retains the original drug dosages, measurement units, and related notations as much as possible. Some drug dosages in this book may differ from those currently used domestically and require adjustment. Units expressed in the imperial system remain unchanged and may need conversion if necessary. Data on the epidemiology of diseases, the selection of drugs or treatment methods, and the ordering of etiologies also differ from China's situation and should be referred to in the Chinese edition of the textbook.
