The rapid pace and increasing complexity of advancements in medicine over the last twenty years have created a growing demand for a comprehensive resource that focuses on current medical issues. Each book in the Current Issues in Medicine series stands alone, offering a wide-ranging overview of various crucial subjects in a format that is both user-friendly and interconnected. This series not only showcases recent developments, but also delves into related topics 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 connecting basic research, medicine, engineering, FDA regulations, intellectual property law, and regulatory science, the series provides a deep understanding of how medicine can address health challenges from the perspectives of both patients and healthcare providers. The diverse range of topics covered, along with the expertise of the contributing authors, accurately represent the rapidly changing landscape of medicine, spanning from fundamental 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.

The pharmaceutical industry, academia, and governments worldwide can benefit from the book’s multidisciplinary approach, making it a valuable reference resource. Unlike other series on medicine or medical textbooks, this particular series concentrates on current trends, perspectives, and issues in medicine that are crucial to healthcare delivery in the 21st century. The first two volumes of this series specifically address the current issues in basic medical science, which form the foundation of medical practice. These subjects are typically taught in the initial two years of medical school before clinical instruction and training. They provide essential knowledge that is vital for success in clinical medicine, particularly during rotations in surgery, internal medicine, and other medical specialties. The knowledge gained from these subjects plays a significant role in improving disease prediction, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Volume 1 covers biochemistry, genomics, physiology, and pharmacology, while Volume 3 focuses on clinical specialties. Volume 4 is dedicated to diagnosis and imaging techniques, Volume 5 delves into drug delivery, and Volume 6 highlights novel therapeutics and clinical applications.
