About the Book: The field of * has become so vast that it becomes difficult to know how far its boundaries have been extending. This dictionary has been an attempt to include * which have been in common use and discovered recently. Every attempt has been carefully made to write the entries in a clear and lucid style to provide both straight forward definitions and invaluable background information. This dictionary also includes the pharmacological action of *, their adverse effects and their structures. The terms included in this dictionary have been presented in brief analytical phrases thereby avoiding the more comprehensive type of treatment appropriate to large reference work. The dictionary will be of immense value to the students of chemistry, medicine, biochemistry, pharmacy and others studying or working in related fields. It is an essential companion for the general practitioner, hospital doctor, pharmaceutical student, clinical student and a valuable reference tool for those in fields related to medicine who require a rapid grasp of current clinical terminology.
