Anatomy
Textbooks on Anatomy The textbooks should be used in correlation with an anatomical atlas. They can be the ones used earlier in your studies.
Dahl, Rinvik: Menneskets funksjonelle anatomi, Cappelen. A concise book in Norwegian. Focuses on the main aspects of anatomy. Must be used with an atlas.
Moore: Moore: Clinically Oriented Anatomy. Williams & Wilkins., Williams & Wilkins.
Good book, with instructive illustrations, which can also provide as an atlas. Many well chosen clinical examples that bring life to Anatomy.
Macro Anatomy, Atlas
Netter: Atlas of Human Anatomy, CIBA-GEIGY.
Many good illustrations, often brilliant schematic outlines. Also available in German, with Latin nomenclature.
Urban & Schwarzenberg Sobotta: Atlas of Human Anatomy, A classic, this atlas is comprehensive and reliable. Must use with Latin nomenclature!.
Micro Anatomy (Histology)
Geneser: Histologi , Mungsgaard. Thorough, a good textbook, quite comprehensive.
Wheather, Burkitt, Daniels: Functional Histology, Ballière Tindall. Brief and with good, basic drawings.
Child Psychiatry/Psychiatry
Books from Child Psychiatry/Psychiatry from previous semesters can be of use.
Graham, P. Turk J Verhulst, F.C.: Child Psychiatry A Developmental Approach, 1999. Oxford University Press. considers the psychiatric aspects of children with physical illness.
Pharmacology
Rang, Dale. Ritter & Moore: Pharmacology, 2003. Churchill Livingstone. 5th edition.
Exceptionally good textbook with the primary emphasis on basic Pharmacology, but also adequate coverage of clinical questions. Also has some Toxicology.
Katzung: Basic and Clinical Pharmacology, 2001. Appleton & Lange. 8th edition.
Good systematic book, well updated, frequent new editions. Has both basic and clinical pharmacology and some toxicology. Relatively large textbook
Page, Curtis, Sutter Walker & Hoffmann: Integrated Pharmacology. , 2002. Mosby. 2nd edition.
This book represents a new way of approaching pharmacology with the coverage of medications correlated to short but poignant presentations of diseases. The book gives a relatively good impression, but the pharmacology section can be too brief at times
Hardman, Limbird & Gilman: Goodman & Gilman’s the Pharmacological basis of therapeutics, 2001. McGraw-Hill. 10th edition.
A brilliant book, but is too long to use as a textbook for the exam. Have it as a reference book if you wish to go further in depth. Covers both Basic Pharmacology/Biology, Clinical Pharmacology and Therapy as well as Toxicology
Toxicology
Most of the Pharmacology textbooks have chapters on Toxicology. In addition, there will be material handed out during instruction. If you are especially interested:
Arbold Busck. Schou: Toksikologi, Nytt Nordisk Forlag.
Jacobsen, Kjeldsen & Wickstr?m: Akutte forgiftninger, Universitetsforlaget.
A good book (in pocketbook format), focuses on the practical side of poisons/intoxicants and their treatment
