As a result of the expansion in the area of
pharmaceutical medicine there is an ever-increasing need
for educational resources. The Dictionary of Clinical
Trials, Second Edition comprehensively explains the 3000
words and short phrases commonly used when designing,
running, analysing and reporting clinical trials.
This book is a quick, pocket reference tool to understand
the common and less well-used terms within the discipline
of clinical trials, and provides an alternative to the
textbooks available. Terms are heavily cross-referenced,
which helps the reader to understand how terms fit into
the broad picture of clinical trials.
- Wide ranging, brief, pragmatic explanations of
clinical trial terminology
- Scope includes medical, statistical,
epidemiological, ethical, regulatory and data management
terminology
- Thoroughly revised and expanded - increase of 280
terms from First Edition, reference to Cochrane included
The Dictionary of Clinical Trials, Second Edition is a
‘must-have’ for all pharmaceutical companies who conduct a
lot of clinical trials, in all or one therapeutic area.
The book is also of interest for public health and health
science workers, and for contract research organisations
and departments of medicine, where medics are involved
with clinical trials.

Treating and preventing disease has always been one of
the most important tasks in a society, and
that task ultimately falls to one of the most respected
and admired figures in any culture - the healer. This
respect is understandable - medical practitioners ease
pain, prolong life, and prevent disease, making them
among the most important figures in the daily lives of
people everywhere. The Dictionary of Medical Biography
provides authoritative biographical coverage of major
medical practitioners in all times and cultures. While its
emphasis is on practitioners within the Western medical
tradition, it also covers practitioners of alternative
medicines, as well as major figures within traditional
Chinese, Indian, and Islamic medicine. In addition,
special essays survey these medical traditions, which are
more difficult to appreciate within a biographical
framework. Overall, the Dictionary of Medical Biography
concentrates on the nuances of medical practice, and the
social context within which ideas of health, disease, and
therapy exist. At almost 1.25 million words, the
Dictionary of Medical Biography provides a comprehensive
biographical dictionary of medicine. The most complete
work of its kind, the Dictionary of Medical Biography is
essential for any library that serves those who seek to
understand the importance of medicine in the lives of
people everywhere.
- Almost 1100 entries on almost every important figure
in medicine who ever lived, written by the leading
scholars in the field
- Almost 400 scholars, researchers, and physicians
contributed to the work, including many leaders in their
medical fields
- Extensive overview essays on the important medical
traditions of the world - e.g. Chinese, Indian, Islamic
- Over 300 images that depict medical practitioners
and medical practices from around the world
- Bibliographies that provide students and researchers
the next step in learning about these individuals and
their work

Quick

Featuring a companion practice CD-ROM and audio
pronunciations on CD, this textbook is designed to help
students begin reading, writing and speaking medical terms
immediately, giving them the tools needed for clear,
efficient communication in the health care environment.
The book presents small segments of information and
immediately tests comprehension using an approach that
combines tables and narrative interspersed with exercises.
Programmed Learning Sections in each chapter consist of
several blocks, or “frames” of material in which the
reader is asked to recall and write information previously
presented. The student interacts with the content on
every page by filling in the programmed sections and
checking the answers immediately before deciding whether
to proceed or to review material presented earlier. Quick
& Easy Medical Terminology is organized by body systems,
and after the first five orientation chapters have been
completed, the remaining chapters can be studied in any
sequence. It is ideal for shorter (1- or 2-credit) courses
in medical terminology and for self-study courses, in
addition to traditional, lecture-format classes. Key
Features:
1. The companion CD-ROM reinforces learning with
practice exercises, score reporting, and printing.
2. Two audio CDs enable students to hear correct
pronunciations of medical terms presented in the book.
3. The book’s programmed learning approach presents
content in blocks called “frames” that allow students to
learn the content and check their progress before
reviewing the material or proceeding.
4. Realistic questions are based on simulated medical
charts, allowing students to apply their knowledge to
situations similar to those they will face on the job. |

Now in its Second Edition, this book helps to unravel
the process of evidence-based practice, which requires
clinicians to evaluate and collate information from the
journals they read. Understanding Clinical Papers, Second
Edition uses actual papers to illustrate how to understand
and evaluate published research, but goes beyond this to
provide an explanation of a range of important
research-related topics.
Understanding Clinical Papers, Second Edition:
- Covers everything necessary to understand a clinical
research paper
- Examples are illustrated and based uniquely on
tables, abstracts and exerts from published clinical
research papers
- Amazingly clear, lively, accessible style
- The new edition has been markedly improved and
extended, containing, for example, new material on
measurement scales, systematic reviews, writing a paper,
statistics software and critical appraisal.
“What strikes the reader (...) straight away is clarity
(…) promises to become a recommended text for
undergraduate and postgraduate courses." JOURNAL OF
TROPICAL PEDIATRICS “The writing style is amazingly clear
and does not require formal course work in biostatistics
or epidemiology (…). We strongly recommend it for
beginners and for easy entry into a complex domain and to
experts who we think will enjoy it and who will find it
useful as they teach, advise and help others.” QUALITY IN
HEALTH CARE

invaluable resource for everyone involved directly or
