RADIOIODINE IMAGING IN THE PRIMARY CARE OF THYROID DISEASE pdf
Description

Abstract: Prior to the development of sensitive in vitro serum tests, thyroid function was routinely assessed by measuring radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) in the gland and by thyroid scintigraphy. The serum tests, along with the physical examination, are usually sufficient to determine whether a patient is euthyroid, hyperthyroid, or hypothyroid.

The usefulness of radio-iodine imaging is not completely outmoded, however. It is still appropriate in evaluating hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, ectopic and mediastinal masses, differentiated thyroid cancer, and congenital hypothyroidism.1 This article discusses the indications for ordering RAIUs and scans in a primary care setting and provides recommendations as to when referrals to an endocrinologist are appropriate.

Postgraduate Year One pdf
Description

A world-renowned clinician, teacher, and researcher in cognitive and behavioral neurology, Dr. Ken Heilman has found that stories of his own initiation into the world of doctoring are one of the best ways to engage students and trainees about the common professional, medical, and ethical challenges they will face in daily practice. The twenty-five stories gathered here span the author's first year of clinical training at Bellevue Hospital during the 1960s following his graduation from the University of Virginia School of Medicine. That year- known in the past as internship or first-year residency and now called post graduate year one- is recognized as one of the most intellectually, emotionally, and physically demanding in a physician's life. For the author, it was to hold the most valuable lessons on caring for patients and to exert the greatest lasting influence on how he practices medicine. Each story in this book conveys a core lesson about the practice of medicine and also tells Download Postgraduate Year One for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve
