Oxford Concise Medical Dictionary (Pocket PC) Description:

The famous Concise Medical Dictionary by Oxford University Press with
over 340,000 hard copies sold
'No home should be without one'- Journal of the Institute of Health Education



The sixth edition of this dictionary provides full coverage of all the important
terms and concepts used in medicine today. Written by distinguished practising specialists and
medical writers, it is intended primarily for workers in the paramedical fields: pharmacists,
physiotherapists, speech therapists, social workers, hospital secretaries, administrators, technicians,
and so on. It will also be invaluable for medical students and practicing doctors. Each entry contains a
basic definition, followed- where appropriate- by a more detailed explanation or description. A feature
of the dictionary is that the articles are written in clear and concise English without the use of
unnecessary technical jargon. For this reason the book will also be of both interest and value to the
general reader who needs a home medical dictionary.

'Exellent layout and jargon-free style'- Nursing Times
'An extraordinary bargain'- New Scientist






Coverage



The dictionary defines terms in anatomy, physiology, biochemistry,
and pharmacology, as well as in all major medical and surgical specialties. Its coverage of psychology
and psychiatry, public health medicine and dentistry is unusually comprehensive, and this edition
includes many new entries covering the latest developments in diagnostic radiology and radiotherapy,
endocrinology, peadiatrics, and urology, as well as the other medical surgical specialties. Key terms
in the developing speciality of advanced life support systems have also been added as new entries.
Entries for many new drugs have been included, and drug names have been revised in accordance with
the recently implemented EC directive on the use of recommended International Non-Proprietary Names
(rINNs); where these differ from names commonly used in Britain, the letter are included both as
synonyms for the rINNs and as cross-reference entries.
