Mastering the Medical Long Case 2e is designed to assist medical students preparing for the clinical component of their examinations and for participating in their clinical rotations. Case discussions in the latter section of the book provide useful guidance to medical students involved in PBL and CBL modules.

The Long Case is also a focus of the Physician's exam - candidates at the FRACP are given two cases and must perform well to secure an overall pass.

The book aims to enable trainees to develop a necessary structured approach to the Long Case.

This book caricatures clinical medicine systematically. And almost every speciality - from anesthesiology to urology - serves as a target.
Volker Lange knows how to disclose the perhaps intentionally overlooked parts of the medical profession. Here, sideswipes against both the physician' s vanity and the weight of the medical industry unmask much more than statements made by medical associations or auditing offices. Filled with warmhearted irony, but also biting sarcasm, Medicynical testifies to Lange's sovereignability to analyse the business of medicine.

They lead to the selection of several target genes, in order to suppress the resistance of cells to gemcitabine treatment. The mechanism by which tetrahydrocannabinol is anti-tumoral in pancreatic cancer...
