Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Knowledge of the structure and function of the healthy human body is fundamental to the understanding of pathological processes, from classical macroscopic anatomy to the cellular and molecular processes involved. Morphology allows us an approach to personalized medicine and is regularly present in the physical examination of the patient, in imaging studies, and in surgical procedures, among others. It is necessary that this knowledge be contextualized to the different human groups, and it must be addressed throughout the life cycle and with a gender approach.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on the current state of knowledge of the structure and function of the normal human body, its variations in different human groups, and its impact on health condition. Research articles, series and case reports, and systematic reviews of morphological literature are welcome.
We will accept manuscripts from different disciplines, including basic biomedical, clinical, and surgical sciences that relate morphological aspects to human health. We will give special importance to studies that present evidence of morphological determinants of health with a gender focus.
Prof. Dr. Iván Claudio Suazo-Galdames
Guest Editor
