While this is understandable in the face of remarkable advances in medical imaging, molecular biology and bio- engineering devices, it does not reflect the very central importance of accurate clinical evaluation in the day-to-day care of people across the world. Without accurate clinical evaluation there is a risk not only to the individual (including incorrect diagnoses and unnecessary tests, procedures and treatments) but also to the financial state of healthcare systems, which in every country of the world operate under increasing cost pressures. every country of the world operate under increasing cost pressures. There has never been a more important time than now to have superb clinical skills in history taking, physical examination and synthesis of the data gathered. The increasing age of the population and the expansion of what medicine can do for all illnesses, especially chronic disease, demands more and higher-quality care. Added to this demand is the re-emerging importance of generalist skills across all specialties of medicine, especially in primary care or family practice, emergency medicine, general internal medicine and general surgery. The reality of being able to provide high-quality care to people across metropolitan, rural and remote areas requires the knowledge and skills of the generalist who must, often under great time pressure, take a history and carry out a physical examination that will determine the next stage of investigation or treatment. Depending on the setting, there may not be much assistance from modern technology. These ‘old-fashioned’ skills of history taking and physical examination have been given new life in recent years by the information gained about their accuracy through clinical epidemiological research: evidence-based clinical evaluation. The challenge for teachers of the art and science of clinical evaluation in the 21st century is to make it attractive and exciting for all clinicians, but especially for medical students and young doctors for whom modern technology may seem to be an alluring shortcut. In the sixth edition of their now classic book, Talley and O’Connor have written an attractive and exciting text that is a joy to read through its clarity of expression, quality of information and engagement with the reader by commentary on historical details and practical hints. The information is made easier to comprehend, assimilate and remember through judicious use of diagrams and pictures. Finally, it has the innovation of the ‘Good signs guides’ in each chapter giving snapshots of the evidence about how these clinical tests perform. For over 21 years, Clinical Examination by Talley and O’Connor has provided medical students, junior doctors, senior doctors and clinician teachers with the guidance to carry out a rational and thoughtful history and an organised and disciplined physical examination. The information contained in this book is the basis for the hypothetico-deductive process used by most clinicians to reach a provisional diagnosis and a parsimonious list of differential diagnoses. From the first edition in 1988 to today’s very different- looking but even better sixth edition, the book has stood not only the test of time but also critical appraisal by thousands of very bright people. This textbook deserves its place on the shelves and in the computers of every medical practitioner. Michael Hensley, Professor of Medicine and Dean of Medicine, School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Newcastle, Australia Preface “And gladly wolde he lerne, and gladly teche.” Chaucer, the prologue to Canterbury Tales. It is with great pride that we present to you the sixth edition of Clinical Examination. The book has been in continuous production for over 20 years and remains one of the most successful textbooks on examination methods in the world today. We have carefully updated and revised the text and illustrations to meet the needs of all medical students, from beginners to advanced practitioners. Medical education has changed radically in the last decade in many countries. Various medical schools now offer post-graduate medical courses lasting four years; some offer both undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and others only train at the undergraduate level for five to six years. However long the formal training, many new topics have been added to already crowded courses. These changes have meant less emphasis in some programs on the more basic foundations of medicine, regrettably including less anatomy and physiology teaching. A clinical examination textbook cannot teach these subjects in detail, but we have felt the need to introduce basic examination anatomy into this book to assist students’ understanding of physical examination. We have also added a number of anatomical drawings, X-rays and scans to help explain the structure of key areas being examined. This edition includes expanded sections on history taking, including a new chapter on advanced history taking, and important lists of differential diagnoses. Features of the history that may indicate a serious or urgent problem are highlighted. Unlike most other books teaching examination methods, we have felt it essential to provide references supporting important aspects of examination and history taking. Contemporary medical students are trained to be sceptical and expect evidence for assertions made by their teachers. These references give students the opportunity to follow up areas that interest them in more detail. The latest evidence-based information on the value of various clinical signs has been included. This area owes much to Professor Steven McGee, and we are very grateful to him for his permission to reproduce some of his published data. The DVD accompanying the book contains a video guide to the examination of the main systems of the body. For this edition, we have added a selection of examples of Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs), a library of electrocardiographs (ECGs) with notes Examinations (OSCEs), a library of electrocardiographs (ECGs) with notes on ECG interpretation, and a library of important X-rays and scans. The ECGs and scans are not a completely comprehensive set, but are an attempt to present the important abnormalities students need to recognise in clinical examinations. Finally, we are pleased to have brought the list of eponymous signs of aortic regurgitation right up to date with the inclusion of Ashrafian’s sign, first described in 2006. Nicholas J.

Herophilus of Alexandria From classical Greek times interrogation of the patient has been considered most important because disease was, and still is, viewed in terms of the discomfort it causes. However, the current emphasis on the use of history taking and physical examination for diagnosis developed only in the 19th century. Although the terms ‘symptoms and signs’ have been part of the medical vocabulary since the revival of classical medicine, until relatively recently they were used synonymously. During the 19th century, the distinction between symptoms (subjective complaints, which the clinician learns from the patient’s account of his or her feelings) and signs (objective morbid changes detectable by the clinician) evolved. Until the 19th century, diagnosis was empirical and based on the classical Greek belief that all disease had a single cause, an imbalance of the four humours (yellow bile, black bile, blood and phlegm). Indeed the Royal College of Physicians, founded in London in 1518, believed that clinical experience without classical learning was useless, and physicians who were College members were fined if they ascribed to any other view. At the time of Hippocrates (460–375 BC) observation (inspection) and feeling (palpation) had a place in the examination of patients. The ancient Greeks, for example, noticed that patients with jaundice often had an enlarged liver that was firm and irregular. Shaking a patient and listening for a fluid splash was also recognised by the Greeks. Herophilus of Alexandria (335–280 BC) described a method of taking the pulse in the 4th century BC. However, it was Galen of Pergamum (130– 200 AD) who established the pulse as one of the major physical signs, and it continued to have this important role up to the 18th century, with minute variations being recorded. These variations were erroneously considered to indicate changes in the body’s harmony. William Harvey’s (1578–1657) studies of the human circulation, published in 1628, had little effect on the general understanding of the value of the pulse as a sign. Sanctorius (1561–1636) was the first to time the pulse using a clock, while John Floyer (1649–1734) invented the pulse watch in 1707 and made regular observations of the pulse rate. Abnormalities in heart rate were described in diabetes mellitus in 1776 and in thyrotoxicosis in 1786. Fever was studied by Hippocrates and was originally regarded as an entity rather than a sign of disease. The thermoscope was devised by Sanctorius in 1625. In association with Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736), Hermann Boerhaave (1668–1738) introduced the thermometer as a research instrument and this was produced commercially in the middle of the 18th century. In the 13th century Johannes Actuarius (d. 1283) used a graduated glass to examine the urine. In Harvey’s time a specimen of urine was sometimes looked at (inspected) and even tasted, and was considered to reveal secrets about the body. Harvey recorded that sugar diabetes (mellitus) and dropsy (oedema) could be diagnosed in this way. The detection of protein in the urine, which Frederik Dekkers (1644–1720) first described in 1673, was ignored until Richard Bright (1789–1858) demonstrated its importance in renal disease. Although Celsus described and valued measurements such as weighing and measuring a patient in the 1st century AD, these methods became widely used only in the 20th century. A renaissance in clinical methods began with the concept of Battista Morgagni (1682–1771) that disease was not generalised but arose in organs, a conclusion published in 1761. Leopold Auenbrugger invented chest tapping (percussion) to detect disease in the same year. Van Swieten, his teacher, in fact used percussion to detect ascites. The technique was forgotten for nearly half a century until Jean Corvisart (1755–1821) translated Auenbrugger’s work in 1808. The next big step occurred with René Laënnec (1781–1826), a student of Corvisart. He invented the stethoscope in 1816 (at first merely a roll of stiff paper) as an aid to diagnosing heart and lung disease by listening (auscultation). This revolutionised chest examination, partly because it made the chest accessible in patients too modest to allow a direct application of the examiner’s ear to the chest wall, as well as allowing accurate clinicopathological correlations. William Stokes (1804–78) published the first treatise in English on the use of the stethoscope in 1825. Josef Skoda’s (1805–81) investigations of the value of these clinical methods led to their widespread and enthusiastic adoption after he published his results in 1839. These advances helped lead to a change in the practice of medicine. Bedside teaching was first introduced in the Renaissance by Montanus (1498–1552) in Padua in 1543. In the 17th century, physicians based their opinion on a history provided by an apothecary (assistant) and rarely saw the patients themselves. Thomas Sydenham (1624–89) began to practise more modern bedside medicine, basing his treatment on experience and not theory, but it was not until a century later that the scientific method brought a systematic approach to clinical diagnosis. This change began in the hospitals of Paris after the French Revolution, with recognition of the work of Morgagni, Corvisart, Laënnec and others. Influenced by the philosophy of the Enlightenment, which suggested that a Influenced by the philosophy of the Enlightenment, which suggested that a rational approach to all problems was possible, the Paris Clinical School combined physical examination with autopsy as the basis of clinical medicine. The methods of this school were first applied abroad in Dublin, where Robert Graves (1796–1853) and William Stokes worked. Later at Guy’s Hospital in London the famous trio of Richard Bright, Thomas Addison (1793–1860) and Thomas Hodgkin (1798–1866) made their important contributions. In 1869 Samuel Wilks (1824–1911) wrote on the nail changes in disease and the signs he described remain important. Carl Wunderlich’s (1815–77) work changed the concept of temperature from a disease in itself to a symptom of disease. Spectacular advances in physiology, pathology, pharmacology and the discovery of microbiology in the latter half of the 19th century led to the development of the new ‘clinical and laboratory medicine’, which is the rapidly advancing medicine of the present day. The modern systematic approach to diagnosis, with which this book deals, is still, however, based on taking the history and examining the patient by looking (inspecting), feeling (palpating), tapping (percussing) and listening (auscultating).

The Hippocratic oath I swear by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Hygieia, and Panacea, and all the gods and goddesses that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation: To reckon him who taught me this Art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him and relieve his necessities if required; to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brother, and to teach them this Art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation, and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction, stipulation, and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the Art to my own sons and those of my teachers, and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of medicine, but to none others. I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. I will give no deadly medicine to any if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give a woman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practise my Art. I will not cut persons labouring under the stone, but will leave this to be done by men who are practitioners of this work. Into whatever houses I enter I will go into them for the benefit of the sick and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption; and further from the seduction of females or males, of freemen and slaves. Whatever, in connection with my professional practice, or not in connection with it, I may see or hear in the lives of men which ought not to be spoken of abroad I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the Art, respected by all men, in all times! But should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot! Hippocrates, born on the Island of Cos (460?–357 BC) is agreed by everyone to be the father of medicine. He is said to have lived to the age of 109. Many of the statements in this ancient oath remain relevant today, while others, such as euthanasia and abortion, remain controversial. The seduction of slaves, however, is less of a problem. Credits Every attempt has been made to trace and acknowledge copyright, but in some cases this may not have been possible.
