| Popis: | Sex and Gender in Acute Care Medicine is an evidence-based textbook that draws the reader's attention to the underappreciated sex and gender based differences in acute medical care and the gender bias that historically exists in medical research. In a tour through the major disciplines of acute care medicine the authors provide a sex and gender focused perspective on the presentation, management and pathophysiology of key medical conditions in an evidence-based format. The reader may find some of the many disparities discussed surprising and others well known from clinical practice. The editors are leaders in this new field, and this textbook is the first to provide a comprehensive review of sex and gender focused acute medical care. This soft cover is a valuable stimulus for the researcher and a quick-read resource for the practicing physician that has the potential to positively impact patient care in the emergency department.
