The rapid pace and increasing complexity of advancements in medicine over the last twenty years have created a pressing demand for a comprehensive resource that addresses current medical issues. Each installment in the Current Issues in Medicine collection stands alone as a text that offers a broad overview of various crucial topics, all presented in a user-friendly yet interconnected manner. This series not only showcases recent developments, but also delves into related subjects such as translational medicine, regulatory science, neglected diseases, global pandemics, patent law, immunotoxicology, ethics, theranostics, big data, artificial intelligence, innovative imaging techniques, combination drug products, and new therapies. By bridging the gap between fundamental research, medicine, engineering, FDA regulations, intellectual property laws, and regulatory science, this series provides a comprehensive insight into the potential of medicine to address health issues from the perspectives of both patients and healthcare providers. The wide range of topics covered, along with the expertise of the contributing authors, accurately reflects the rapidly evolving areas within the field of medicine, spanning from basic medical sciences to clinical specialties. Current Issues in Medicine is a must-read for physicians, medical students, nurses, fellows, residents, undergraduate and graduate students, educators, policymakers, and biomedical researchers. Its multidisciplinary approach makes it a valuable reference for the pharmaceutical industry, academia, and governments worldwide. However, unlike other medical series or textbooks, this collection focuses on current trends, viewpoints, and challenges in medicine that are crucial to healthcare delivery in the 21st century. The first two volumes of this series concentrate on current issues in basic medical science, which form the foundation of medical practice. These fundamental medical science topics are typically covered in the initial two years of medical school before clinical training begins.
