Features: The main characteristics of this book are novelty, practicality, readability, and memorability. The novelty is based on the World New English-Chinese Medical Abbreviations Dictionary and the Second Edition of the English-Chinese Medical Dictionary, while also referring to more than 300 domestic and international medical journals published in the past three years. Most of the terms and English abbreviations in the book are recently emerged. The book is written using simple, commonly used, readable English abbreviations, with some also being Latin abbreviations. During the writing process, it strives for simplicity and practicality without including all English terms, giving readers a fresh and clear impression. Readability and memorability are reflected in the use of short English abbreviations throughout the writing process, aiming for concise, refined, accurate, and universal abbreviations. The book compiles commonly used terms and drug names in various medical disciplines, as well as English abbreviations for the names of domestic and international medical societies, pharmaceutical research institutes, research institutes, journal publishers, and social organizations. It has both textbook-like and reference book characteristics; it can be systematically studied or used for on-the-spot reference to find the medical terms and English abbreviations you need. Additionally, the book includes more than 20 standard codes, measurement units, chemical elements, normal values of clinical tests, and commonly used English abbreviations for prescriptions in the appendix.
