Parker J., Parker Ph. (Eds.) Laser Surgery. A Medical Dictionary, Bibliography, and Annotated Research Guide to Internet References

ICON Health Publications, 2003. — 224 p. — ISBN: 0597836043.In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading." Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with laser surgery is indexed in search engines, such as Google or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time-consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to know as much as possible about laser surgery, using the most advanced research tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so.In addition to offering a structured and comprehensive bibliography, the pages that follow will tell you where and how to find reliable information covering virtually all topics related to laser surgery, from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. Public, academic, government and peer-reviewed research studies are emphasized. Various abstracts are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on laser surgery. Abundant guidance is given on how to obtain free-of-charge primary research results via the Internet. While this book focuses on the field of medicine, when some sources provide access to non-medical information relating to laser surgery, these are noted in the text.Studies on laser surgery.
