This book is designed so that the information is presented without masses of confusing detail involving complicated neural connections. The arrangement permits the students and future health providers to quickly recall the essential features necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of patients. - Richard S. Snell
Teaching a subject like neuroanatomy is no easy feat - the subject itself is quite a nightmare to understand and quite frankly, very few learning resources successfully rise to the challenge. However, through the use of several intelligent tactics that simplify this dreaded subject, 'Snell's Clinical Neuroanatomy' has managed to climb close to the top and assert itself as one of the most sought after neuroanatomy learning resources.

Clinical Anatomy by Systems is the first anatomy textbook featuring a systems-based approach geared to medical school programs that have adopted an integrated, organ system-based curriculum. Based on Dr. Snell's established and successful gross anatomy textbook, Clinical Anatomy, this book uses most of the schematic illustrations and many of the same pedagogical features to approach the study of anatomy from a systems-based orientation.
Basic anatomy sections supply basic information for diagnostic and treatment purposes and for performing medical procedures. Numerous imaging examples and labeled photographs of cross-sectional anatomy are included to help students think in terms of three-dimensional anatomy. Surface anatomy sections provide surface landmarks of important anatomic structures located beneath the skin and often bypassed by practicing clinicians.
Physiologic and embryologic notes are interspersed with basic anatomical material to point out the functional significance of the material and provide developmental anatomy information that is essential for the understanding of the structure and relationships of organs. Congenital anomalies that may affect the respective organs are listed after these notes.
Chapter opening outlines highlight the important concepts students should take away from each chapter. End-of-chapter review questions and answers provide valuable assistance in board and course review.
A free bound-in CD-ROM contains clinical notes, information on congenital anomalies, radiographic anatomy, and clinical problem-solving exercises. The clinical notes emphasize the structures that the physician will encounter when making a diagnosis and treating a patient. They also provide the anatomic knowledge necessary to understand many procedures and techniques and note the anatomic "pitfalls" commonly encountered. The problem-solving sections consist of case histories followed by multiple-choice questions and answers with rationales.

of clinical importance. Clinical and Embryology Notes supplement the core text, indicate clinical applications, and explain adult morphology and major congenital malformations. 4. Radiographic Anatomy: Each chapter includes numerous standard medical images (eg, radiographs, CT scans, MRI studies, and sonograms) to demonstrate normal anatomy in the manner most often observed by clinicians. Labeled photographs of cross-sectional anatomy stimulate students to think in terms of three dimensional anatomy, which is so important in the interpretation of imaging studies. 5. Surface Anatomy: This outlines surface landmarks and palpation points of important anatomic structures fundamental to a thorough physical examination. 6. Key Concepts: This closing part of the chapter summarizes the major points of anatomy discussed in the chapter to reinforce the topics covered. 7. Review Questions: A collection of review questions is available online at The purpose of these questions is threefold: to focus attention on areas of importance, to enable students to assess their areas of strengths and weaknesses, and to provide a form of self-evaluation for questions asked under examination conditions. The questions are in the National Board format and center around a clinical problem that requires an anatomic answer. As with previous editions, the book is heavily illus trated. Most figures have been kept simple in order to convey the fundamental floor plans that underlie the organization of body regions. Many new illustrations have been added. These include an emphasis on orga nizational schemes and diversity in patient populations.
Ideal for medical, dental, allied health, and nursing programs, this trusted text guides students through the fundamentals of human anatomy, explaining the how and why behind each structure and offering readers the hands-on guidance they need to make sound clinical choices.
Widely praised for its clear and consistent organization, abundant illustrations, and emphasis on clinical applications, the exciting re-titled Eighth Edition of Snell's respected textbook continues to deliver the user-friendly features and expert perspectives that have made Clinical Anatomy one of the top teaching and learning resources for those seeking insights into the practical application of anatomy.

The book is organized by body region, from surface to deep structures. This edition introduces Embryologic Notes and includes up-to-date new Clinical Notes, Clinical Problems, and review questions. All illustrations have been recolored, and all Surface Anatomy illustrations are now in color. Upgraded clinical imaging includes radiographs, CT scans, MRIs, and sonograms.
With an already established reputation for user-friendliness, the Seventh Edition of Clinical Anatomy for Medical Students increases embryology coverage for programs that incorporate the subject into anatomy, or where a separate embryology text isn't necessary. Known for its clear and consistent organization and concise writing, this text focuses on presenting anatomical information that is clinically relevant. The book's unified structure includes the following components in each chapter: Outline, Objectives, Basic Anatomy, Radiographic Anatomy, Surface Anatomy, Clinical Notes, Clinical Problem-Solving, and National Board-Type Questions.
Praised for its clear and consistent organization, dynamic illustrations, and emphasis on clinical applications, Snells Clinical Anatomy by Regions pairs expert perspectives with a user-friendly approach to deliver a proven learning and teaching resource on the practical application of anatomy.
Finding evidence resources is one of the pieces of evidence based practice. I have definitions and places to go to find specific types, such as systematic reviews, To learn more about evidence synthesis, please see the guide by Philip Espinola-Coombs.
Systematic Reviews
Address a focused clinical question where review authors systematically search for, identify, select, summarize and critically apraise all of the medical research literature available on a specific topic. Statistical techniques may be used to combine the results of these studies. The authors clearly state the search methods used to locate these studies. It is important to examine the search methods used and decide for yourself if it was broad enough to include all of the relevant studies, and if the studies found were relevant to the clinical question.
Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial (RCT)
An experimental design used for testing the effectiveness of a new medication or a new therapeutic procedure. Individuals are assigned randomly to a treatment group or a control group, and the outcomes are compared. RCT is the most accepted scientific method of determining the benefit of a drug or a therapeutic procedure. It represents the best evidence available, which is integrated into the final decision about the management of a condition by healthcare practitioners in what is called evidence-based healthcare.
Protocol
In the Cochrane Library database, the protocol outlines the question that the review authors are addressing, detailing the criteria against which studies will be assessed for inclusion in the review, and describing how the authors will manage the review process.
Review Article
Brings together information about previously published research on a topic. It provides a critical appraisal of the topic over a period of time. It is helpful in identifying the important literature on a topic. Given the vast amount of scientific literature published, review articles are an excellent tool for researchers wishing to research a topic.
A label of letters and/or numbers that tell you where the resource can be found in the library. Call numbers are displayed on print books and physical resources and correspond with a topic or subject area.
