"The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.

This is a comprehensive textbook of physical diagnosis, organized by organ system. This is the third edition; previous editions were published in 1989 and 1994. The author's stated purpose is to integrate pathophysiology and the humanistic element withthe technique of the physical examination. Although the author cites ""all students of health care"" as his audience, the depth and breadth of the text, as well as the historical references, indicate that medical students learning physical diagnosis are the primary audience. The section on patient interviewing includes an entire chapter on cultural issues. The 15 chapters on examination techniques all use the same format, proceeding from a review of relevant anatomy, physiology, and symptomatology, to a discussion of the impact of disease on patients, to the physical examination techniques themselves, and finally to clinicopathological correlations. There are many more photographs of important findings than in the previous edition. The last section includes a brief, clear synopsis of clinical epidemiology as used in diagnostic reasoning. By integrating physical exam techniques with history, pathophysiology, and clinical reasoning, this text serves as a comprehensive introduction to clinical medicine. This third edition adds many useful illustrations and significant new material on cultural issues, post-traumatic stress disorder, and the care of acutely ill patients. 87/100. Joan M.
