Al HaYaT MedicosClinical Eye Series: Fingernails trains you to look carefully at the hands, where many systemic diseases leave visible clues. The notes describe the important nail signs and link each one to the conditions it suggests.
Spotting these signs early in an examination impresses examiners and helps you reach the diagnosis faster in real patients.
What these notes cover
- Clubbing and its causes
- Koilonychia
- Leukonychia
- Splinter haemorrhages
