Surgical Semiology — Treatise on Internal Medicine and Surgery

Surgery · Clinical Specialties

How it begins

Un análisis exhaustivo y sistemático de los signos y síntomas orientados a la patología quirúrgica. Desde la fisiopatología molecular del dolor hasta la precisión en el examen físico regional y el diagnóstico diferencial de urgencias.
