Book, Medical Semiology (Porto) 8/19[LS]

An increasingly modern classic! Consecrated as one of the most respected scientific texts ever published in Brazil, Porto & Porto | Medical Semiology reaches its 8th edition, maintaining its commitment to offering its readers modern content based on the experience of renowned authors, always respecting the didactic reality of teachers and students. This 30th anniversary edition brings many new features; in addition to more pedagogical resources, more elaborate flowcharts and new collaborators, text and images underwent complete redesign. The text was revised, updated and restructured, maintaining the relevance and adequate depth of the subject for the student. All illustrations were redesigned or replaced, following a standard color, dimension and style, and showing complex anatomical details, worthy of an anatomy atlas. The illustrations that present the organ in superimposed layers are worth highlighting, for a better understanding of the procedure demonstrated, and the exams, which were replaced by high-quality images. The process of improvement and updating promoted by Celmo Celeno Porto and Guanabara Koogan is continuous and reinforces this classic as the most expressive and lasting Brazilian book on the subject, a text that has contributed to the good education of several generations of students. Celmo Celeno Porto's book is considered one of the pillars of medical literature, fundamental for good training in Medicine, which has Semiology as one of its most important disciplines.
