Some topics are new or receive expanded treatment, including the immune system and HIV/AIDS, stem cell and gene transfer in clinical medicine, radiation therapy, Clostridium difficile-associated disease, bioterrorism, disease screening, perimenopausal management, hormone replacement therapy, end-of-life care, and a new multi- chapter section on critical care medicine. Of the staggering 379 chapters, 46 are new or by new authors and the remainder have been revised.
