medicine and their related allied health professions require an abundance of knowledge and extensive vocabulary Medical and scientific information continues to grow with the advent of new technologies, advanced medical procedures, and progressive research Melloni’s Pocket Medical Dictionary, Illustrated, aims to facilitate the use of up-to-date and expanded medical terminology It provides clear and concise definitions of terms in their current usage, including a myriad of new terms The Pocket Dictionary follows the format of the 4th edition of Melloni’s Illustrated Medical Dictionary, which is now in its 25th year of uninterrupted publication and has received widespread acclaim as a comprehensive and accurate medical reference Although more portable with its smaller dimensions, this dictionary is composed of nearly 17,000 definitions It contains a large number of definitions that include the fields of anatomy, genetics, neurology, cardiology immunology, oncology, gynecology, obstetrics and radiology The inclusion of biological and chemical terms relevant to warfare contributes to the usefulness and currency of the book This edition also contains many illustrations, since accurately rendered medical illustrations are a hallmark of the Melloni’s dictionaries Many of the single-concept illustrations contain color highlights to enhance comprehension of the definitions and solidify retention of their meaning Illustrated tables of arteries, bones, muscles, and nerves provide easy-to-find information about body structures, thereby adding to the usefulness of the book Melloni’s Pocket Medical Dictionary, Illustrated, takes the most important qualities of the 4th edition, reduces its size without sacrificing accuracy and clarity, and adds the most current information to serve the needs of dedicated individuals interested in providing the best health care The vocabulary coupled with detailed visuals, furnishes a wealth of information that we hope will benefit its users GUIDE TO DICTIONARY USE a α Alpha For terms beginning with α, see under specific term abandonment (ă-ban′don-ment) Termination of the physician-patient relationship
