This article describes the normal anatomy and physiology of the abdomen. Physical examination techniques illustrate the evaluation of the abdominal structures. The text describes physical presentation of selected diseases and discusses their pathophysiology. The text material is applied through a case study.
This article discusses normal anatomy and physiology of the peripheral vascular and lymphatic systems. Physical examination techniques are described and monitoring principles are illustrated by a case study.
Endometrial diagnostic techniques available to the family physician for office use have a high degree of accuracy in identifying intrauterine pathology. Recent refinements in endometrial sampling devices have made their use cost-effective and complication rates minimal. These methods can be utilized annually for screening asymptomatic women at high risk of developing uterine cancer. Detection of endometrial hyperplasia has improved with the newer samplers. Patient acceptance is excellent, especially with the cytologic devices.
This article discusses normal and abnormal anatomy and physiology of the heart and the techniques used in physical assessment. Specific adverse drug effects are discussed and a case study is provided to illustrate key concepts.
This paper reports the results of a national survey of perceptions of practice and career satisfaction among the first cohorts of residency-trained family physicians. The findings indicate that a large majority of the respondents (n = 876), most of whom had been in practice for only three years or less at the time of the survey in 1979, were well satisfied with their careers and work in general as well as with their residency training, practice arrangements and facilities, colleague relationships, and hospital privileges. Several sources of relative dissatisfaction and difficulty were reported by the physicians, however, including practice time pressures, the necessity of treating emotional problems beyond their training, financial costs associated with operating their practice, paperwork, and perceived interference of external regulations and/or agencies in the physician-patient relationship.
The anatomy of the thorax and lungs and the physiology or respiration are complex. The physical assessment techniques which, on the surface, appear relatively easy to master, require hours of practice of observation, palpation, percussion, and auscultation before the examiner becomes familiar with the more subtle changes of disease process and the wide variations of normal that may be confused with illness. These are skills that may be quickly lost if not regularly applied. But perhaps with the use of such techniques, the pharmacist can play an even greater role in the monitoring of drug therapy.
