Description: Waldman (anesthesiology and medical humanities and bioethics, U. of Missouri-Kansas City) presents a visual guide to help clinicians recognize, diagnose, and treat common pain syndromes. Syndromes are organized by body region and detail physical symptoms, codes, testing, differential diagnosis, and treatment, with imaging and illustrations of anatomy and abnormalities. This edition has 18 new chapters on subarachnoid hemorrhage, adhesive capsulitis, medial meniscal tear, discitis, and other conditions, as well as new full-color illustrations and photos that emphasize the anatomic relationships with the actual syndrome and more use of radiographic imaging, including many new ultrasound images. The full text is also accessible online. Annotation ℗♭2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
