This document provides an overview and table of contents for the book "Common Medical Diagnoses: An Algorithmic Approach" by Patrice M. Healey and Edwin J. Jacobson. The book presents algorithms to help clinicians differentially diagnose common medical presentations organized by organ system. It has been updated for the third edition to incorporate new diagnostic tests. Each algorithm is referenced to two major medical textbooks to enhance learning. The book aims to provide clinicians with an efficient way to narrow down differential diagnoses in a cost-effective manner.
This document summarizes cancer of the larynx, including its risk factors, diagnosis, staging, and treatment options. It describes the anatomy of the larynx and discusses how cancer can spread locally or to lymph nodes. Treatment depends on the stage and location of the cancer, and may include radiation therapy or surgery like laryngectomy. For early stage cancers, radiation is usually the preferred initial treatment to preserve the larynx and voice. More advanced cancers may be treated with chemoradiation to try to avoid laryngectomy when possible.

- The document discusses the anatomy and physiology of the heart's conduction system and how it generates the normal cardiac rhythm. It describes the roles of the sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, Bundle of His, and Purkinje fibers in conducting electrical impulses through the heart.
- Various types of cardiac arrhythmias are defined based on disruptions to the heart's normal conduction system. These include premature beats, rhythms originating from the atria, AV junction, or ventricles. Characteristics like P wave presence/morphology, rate, and regularity are used to identify arrhythmias.
- A 12-lead electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) is used to
