The Immunology chapter has a new section on biologic agents to ground these therapies in basic science
- Part 2: Emergency and Critical Care Medicine covers poisoning and envenomation, medicine in austere environments, common presentations in acute medicine and the recognition and management of the critically ill
- Part 3: Clinical Medicine covers the major medical specialties, each thoroughly revised and brought fully up to date. HIV/AIDS and stroke medicine has been fully integrated into the Infectious Disease and Neurology chapters, respectively, to improve readability. The chapter on Pain, Palliative, and Supportive Care contains new guidance on the management of chronic pain
