Dictionary of Medical Acronyms & Abbreviations, 5th Edition

Edited by Jablonski

In the four years since the publication of the fourth edition of the Dictionary of Medical Acronyms & Abbreviations, the coining of acronyms has continued at its usual furious pace, and the work of sifting through the enormous volume of candidates for inclusion remains a challenging task. This new fifth edition, although compiled with constant reference to its purpose as a convenient source for the most commonly used acronyms and abbreviations, has nonetheless grown by about 12,000 new entries.
Some long-time users of the book may notice that the familiar Hanley & Belfus imprint has been replaced by Elsevier's Saunders imprint. No matter what the imprint, however, the same care as always has been taken in the selection of entries and the verification of their accuracy. The familiar format of boldface acronyms and abbreviations followed by run-in meanings has been retained, allowing the book to be kept to a convenient size. New terms have been drawn especially from the areas of virology, clinical trials, new technology, and medical informatics. An important enhancement, not visible in this volume but important for the maintenance of the text in the future, is the addition of the contents to the database that houses the well-known Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary, so that the same resources that help to make Dorland's the world's leading medical dictionary can be used for the Dictionary of Medical Acronyms & Abbreviations
