Items related to New Prospects for Medicine
Addressing a broad range of medical issues, this comprehensive volume assesses advances and future prospects of clinical medicine, and presents an up-to-date review of current information on cancer, genetic diseases, transplantation, and AIDS. The distinguished contributors consider problems facing medical professionals today, and discuss the practical and ethical implications of new techniques used in clinical practice. They discuss ways of handling the "information explosion" in medical science and how to apply this new data to further understand biological processes in clinical medicine. Those who will find this study especially useful include medical researchers, health policy planners and administrators, as well as physicians.
