STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that it has begun offering Arabic bilingual editions of leading Elsevier medical texts to major universities in the Middle East. The first order was recently received by Kalamoon University in Syria.
The initiative is one of Elsevier's many meant to help improve the quality of medical education and clinical care around the globe. Local language texts reduce the amount of required translation between complex English and native language medical terminologies.
The first titles to be translated are mostly dental, but translations are planned for each medical category, particularly nursing. Initial titles include: Lissauer's Illustrated Textbook of Paediatrics (medical); Chapleau's Emergency First Responder (nursing and emergency medicine); and Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology.
