English-Italian Medical Dictionary
A – L

Aracne editrice

This dictionary is intended for the reader who needs a home medical dictionary. It is also intended for use in the workplace and laboratories for those who need reference to scientific terminology. Accordingly, it covers the terms (more than 50,000) daily used by medical and paramedical workers: physiotherapists, speech therapists, social workers, patient care, surgery, pathology, general practice, phar-macy, dentistry, as well as in all the major medical and surgical specialties. Informal, everyday and sometimes euphemistic terms commonly used by people in discussing with their healthcare professionals are also included, as are common words used in reading or writing reports, articles, or guidelines. The dictionary is designed for anyone who needs to check the meaning of medical terms, but especially for those working in health-related areas who may not be healthcare professionals or for whom English is an additional language. The information on each entry, in itself understandably not exhaustive, is for informational purpose only, and under no circumstances does it replace the advice and the decisions of doctors and specialists. Accordingly, the authors disclaim any warranty or liability for its use.
