Get Through MRCPCH Part 2: Data Interpretation Questions, second edition 2nd Edition, Kindle Edition
Get Through MRCPCH Part 2: Data Interpretation Questions is based on the original title, 100 Data Interpretation Questions in Paediatrics for MRCPCH/MRCP, and provides valuable revision material for candidates sitting the two written papers for Part 2 of the Membership of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (MRCPCH) exam.This new edition has been revised and expanded and now includes four different question types: best of list; n from many; extended matching questions; and questions to which a written answer must be given. This gives the reader practice in real-life exam style questions as well as more open-ended questions that don't appear in the exam but really test the reader's knowledge while they are revising. It will prepare candidates for questions dealing with data interpretation, including ECGs, EEGs, growth charts, lists of test results and other materials commonly encountered in the examination. The answers are supplemented by invaluable extra information to help the reader understand why an answer is right or wrong, and to aid further revision on the topics covered.All cases have been selected according to the criteria of the MRCPCH exam, comprehensively covering all paediatric topics and coming from years of genuine clinical paediatric experience. This is an essential text for all candidates sitting the MRCPCH exam, as well as examiners and trainers for those exams, senior house officers, specialist registrars and their overseas equivalents.

Paediatric Radiology for MRCPCH and FRCR, Second Edition 2nd Edition
Radiology plays a fundamental role in the diagnosis and management of childhood diseases. This is reflected in both paediatric and radiology post graduate exams, where candidates are expected to have a working knowledge of paediatric pathology, clinical manifestations and appropriate radiological investigations.Building on the great success of the first edition, Paediatric Radiology for MRCPCH and FRCR retains the popular preexisting structure of the book, but presents an improved variety of clinical cases as well as updated text in-keeping with advances in medical practice and technology. There is more emphasis on cross-sectional imaging, as candidates are increasingly encountering these sophisticated imaging tests in postgraduate exams. Images have been updated, and all the clinical information has been reviewed and revised accordingly.
Contains over 100 clinical cases, presented in exam format, with answers overleaf
Includes a wide range of common and rare paediatric conditions with supplementary images to illustrate additional points
Uses classic examination images, with salient radiological and clinical summaries of each condition - the "hot lists"
Carries specific information for paediatricians and radiologists for each case
An introductory chapter on the basic concepts of imaging aims to provide the reader with an approach to radiological imaging and an awareness of the different modalities available, with new sections on non-accidental injury and radiation protection.
