520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Medical terminology, with its Greek and Latin roots and esoteric prefixes and suffixes, is a major barrier to understanding health information and clinical literature. A good medical dictionary is an essential tool. The new edition of Black’s Medical Dictionary is a useful resource for health-care professionals, students, and educated lay readers. It contains more than 5,000 definitions of medical terms and concepts ranging in length from a few sentences to several paragraphs. It also has more than 1,000 diagrams, drawings, and color illustrations. The new edition is very up-to-date, with information on swine flu (H1N1); the HPV vaccine for protection against human papillomavirus, a cause of cervical cancer; and monoclonal antibodies. It also has an entry for Research fraud and misconduct. The illustrations are small but very clear. Several appendixes provide information about first aid; organizations for support and self-help; travel health; common tests and procedures; vitamins; measurements; and statutory, professional, and health-policy research organizations.
