The Complete Directory for Pediatric Disorders - Current Year or Most Recent Edition.

This comprehensive, up-to-date directory provides parents and caregivers with comprehensive and useful information about common Pediatric Conditions, Disorders, Diseases and Disabilities. Our editorial review procedure was extensive for this new 2004/05 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.

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. Softcover: 1,200 pages.
