[PDF] Sex and Gender Aspects in Clinical Medicine Vera Regitz-Zagrosek (auth.), Sabine Oertelt-Prigione, Vera Regitz-Zagrosek (eds.)

This book is a concise, easy to read professional text with a focus on practical aspects. All chapters include tables on sex/gender differences in symptoms and management and a series of suggestions to the novice in the field. Chapters are specialty-specific. The focus is not on women?s health, but the presentation of differences in clinical symptoms, management and outcomes in women and men. Gender Medicine strives to employ the knowledge about these differences to improve diagnosis, better understand pathogenesis and advance patient-oriented therapy.
