Toy (obstetrics and gynecology, U. of Texas Medical School at Houston) et al. present students with 60 real cases that illustrate key concepts in obstetrics and gynecology. A section on approaching the patient, clinical problem solving, reading, and surgery precedes the cases, which include a summary, questions and answers, an analysis, terminology, the clinical approach, multiple-choice comprehension questions, and clinical pearls. This edition divides the two specialties, places related cases together, has more cross-referencing between cases, and has a new section of 15 strategic review questions. Questions have been improved to better reflect the US Medical Licensing Examination format, and explanations have been expanded. The cases on diabetes in pregnancy and intrauterine growth restriction have been rewritten, and there are new and updated sections on health maintenance, cervical cytology with human papilloma virus subtyping, contraception, vulvar ulcers, assisted reproductive technologies, polycystic ovarian syndrome, osteoporosis, neonatal complications, and HIV.
