Access to Surgery 500 Single Best Answer Questions in General and Systemic Pathology PDF Free Download
Recent reforms in medical education in the United Kingdom have prompted the replacement of multiple choice questions (MCQs) with single best answer questions (SBAs). Access to Surgery: 500 Single Best Answer Questions in General and Systemic Pathology is the first book of its kind and provides 500 practice SBAs in general and systemic pathology for candidates taking the surgical examinations. As the title indicates, it is primarily written for surgical trainees, with an emphasis mainly on the surgical aspects of human pathology. However, it can be used as a practice tool by undergraduate medical students and by trainees in other medical disciplines (for whom pathology can often be a major examination hurdle). Each question has been carefully formulated to cover a given topic in pathology. All the major aspects of pathology are dealt with, and are organised in sequence in the following sections: Cell Injury and Wound Healing, Inflammation and Immunology, Neoplasia, Microbiology, Disorders of Fluids and Electrolytes, Bleeding and Haemostasis, Cardiovascular Pathology, Pulmonary Pathology, Renal Pathology, Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Pathology, Haematopathology, Endocrine Pathology, Breast and Female Reproductive Pathology, Male Reproductive Pathology, Bone and Joint Pathology and Central Nervous System Pathology; a section on Pharmacology has also been included.
The questions also cover the complete MRCS applied pathology syllabus and are also expected to be useful for specialty FRCS candidates. This book contains a substantial number of patient-based questions or clinical scenarios that will enable prospective candidates to test their ability to integrate key basic pathological concepts with relevant clinical problems. In addition, factual recall questions have also been included that probe for basic recall of facts. Detailed and comprehensive explanations, rather than just brief answers, have been provided so that candidates do not have to consult textbooks for clarification, as is the case with most MCQ books.
