HANDBOOK OF CLINICAL GENDER MEDICINE (2012)
Eds: Schenck Gustafsson, K., DeCola, P., Pfaff, D., Pisetsky, D.
A new vision to understanding medicine. Gender medicine is an emerging field in the management of health and disease, informed by research and encompasses the biological and social determinants that underlie the susceptibility to disease and its consequences. As we move forward, consideration of the role of gender will undoubtedly become an integral feature of all research and clinical care. Defining the role of gender in medicine requires a broad perspective on biology and diverse skills in biomedical and social sciences. This Handbook of Clinical Gender Medicine covers twelve critical but common areas of medicine, addressing the gender and gender influences on clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of a wide range of common diseases, including: heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, pain, violence, and malaria among other conditions.
