Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c47207) has announced the addition of The Complete Directory for Pediatric Disorders 2007/08 Edition to their offering.
This comprehensive, up-to-date directory provides parents and caregivers with comprehensive and useful information about common Pediatric Conditions, Disorders, Diseases and Disabilities.
The editorial review procedure was extensive for this new 2007/08 edition. Each chapter was reviewed by a team of Medical Editors to ensure that this edition presented users with the most helpful information on the most common pediatric disorders. In addition, we also reached out to non-medical professionals in specific disorders to review resources for each chapter. As a result, we received new and improved resources for dozens of chapters. Plus, this new edition details several new disorders and has a brand new section on Adolescent disorders.
The Complete Directory for Pediatric Disorders offers immediate access to detailed information and important resources for hundreds of pediatric and adolescent conditions, including:
- Blood Disorders
- Bone & Spinal Disorders
- Brain Defects & Abnormalities
- Chromosomal Disorders
- Congenital Heart Defects
- Movement Disorders
- Neuromuscular Disorders
- Pediatric Tumors & Cancers
The Complete Directory for Pediatric Disorders will be an extraordinarily useful reference tool for Hospital Discharge Coordinators, Social Service Departments, State and Local Agencies and a helpful guide in Public Library reference collections.
This carefully written directory is divided into four sections:
- Section I: Disorder Descriptions:
Offers understandable Descriptions and Synonyms of more than 200 Disorders, Diseases and Disabilities. After each Disorder Description, a listing of Disorder-Specific Resources is provided to easily locate relevant sources of information. These resources include National Agencies and Associations, State Associations, Research Centers, Support Groups, Hotlines, Books and Periodicals.
- Section II: Descriptions of Major Bodily Systems:
Provides the reader with general background information on Major Bodily Systems.
- Section III: General Resources:
Provides immediate access to National Agencies & Associations, State Associations, Online Services, Libraries and Resource Centers, Research Centers, Support Groups and Hotlines, Camps, Books and Periodicals. In addition to contact information, web site and e-mail addresses are provided where available.
- Section IV: Indexes:
The Complete Directory for Pediatric Disorders also includes three indexes: Entry Index, Subject Index and Geographic Index. Also included is a Glossary of Medical Prefixes, Suffixes and Roots.
For ease of use, each entry is cross-referenced to appropriate listings in other sections.
This resource will provide immediate access to information crucial to families and caregivers when coping with children's illnesses.
