- Summary:
- There are numerous medical dictionaries -- but none that cater specifically to the biomedical profession. Here are over 8,000 entries that define all the basic principles of biomedical science, together with a wealth of other information. The definitions are clear and detailed, and extensive cross-referencing helps to give the user a conceptual understanding of the term itself. The dictionary reflects current practice in all aspects of biomedical science and includes variant spellings, punctuation, abbreviations, acronyms, symbols, nomenclature, prefixes and suffixes. It covers the field in a concise, clear and authoritative manner and its lively style will make it a frequently consulted, informative and practical guide to the subject.
