Medical journals are too often an untapped resource. So much medical knowledge is available to anyone if they only take advantage of these medical journals. Here are 10 that everyone should read.
New England Journal Of Medicine
The New England Journal of Medicine covers medical issues the world over. The topics covered are extensive and relevant to the issues currently affecting medicine.
JAMA: Journal Of The American Medical Association
JAMA investigates current health issues not only from a medical standpoint but also from the perspective of their political influences and ramifications.
British Medical Journal
This journal focuses on current pressing health issues as well as research related information. Its view extends into current events as important as mental health professionals assessing what exactly constitutes torture. From research to current events, this journal has it all.
Circulation
Circulation is focused more heavily in cardiovascular medicine and related issues. Because cardiovascular health is such an important health topic these days, anyone would benefit from the insight and updates that this journal provides.
Journal Of Infectious Diseases
The Journal of Infectious Diseases covers, as you might expect, topics concerning infectious diseases. Everyone needs to know what infectious diseases are out there, how they can be spread, and what you can do to protect yourself and those you love. This journal is essential because of the awareness it brings and, along with that awareness, the potential for disease prevention.
Brain: A Journal Of Neurology
People often overlook the health of the brain but the brain is, if you will forgive the expression, at the heart of it all. The brain controls the body, the emotions, and is how your mind interprets all the information obtained through the senses. A greater understanding of the mind could easily lead to a better life.
CA: A Cancer Journal For Clinicians
The fight against cancer has been waged for years and continues still. This journal can get a little in-depth with its information but allows you to keep abreast of the latest scientific knowledge concerning cancer. It is published on behalf of the American Cancer Society and is a great reference for anyone wishing, or needing, to know more about cancer.
Diabetes
This journal seems to become more relevant with each passing year. As more adults deal with diabetes and more children are entering the ranks of the diabetic, this journal helps you to understand this condition, its implications, and what can be done about it both in the form of coping and prevention.
Annals Of Internal Medicine
Internal medicine is an expansive topic and this journal does not stop there. From Medicare issues to topics such as nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding, you will no doubt learn a lot about internal medicine here.
Science
This journal takes a wholly scientific perspective on everything including the facts on medical conditions, careers, and care.
These 10 medical journals are for everyone. When you know more about health issues then you have more control over your own health. The 10 journals here will teach you more than enough to protect your health and probably improve it too.
