Publisher's Synopsis
In this edition of Precis, an entire section has been devoted to patient safety and reflects the expanding role of health care providers in optimising women's health and preventing disease. Topics covered include: fertility control, sexuality and sexual dysfunction, and violence against women; as well as nutrition and weight management, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, and mood disorders. Emphasis has been placed on advances in screening and early detection, rather than in-depth discussion of disease management.
