AAM 305

Obwohl sich auf den folgenden Seiten ca. 6 000 Abkürzungen fi nden, kann und will A dieses Kapitel nicht den Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit erheben. Die Darstellung maximalen Wissens auf minimalem Raum ist sehr schwierig und leider auch häufi g sehr subjektiv. Wir haben uns dennoch bemüht, so objektiv und umfangreich wie möglich und so kurz wie nötig zu schreiben. Vergeblich suchen werden Sie u. a. Abkürzungen für Chemotherapieschemata oder andere „exotische“ Abkürzungen; ebenso wenig übersetzt fi nden sich einfache englische Vokabeln sowie Wörter, die die gleiche Bedeutung im „Deutschen“ haben. Haben Sie also bitte Verständnis, wenn gerade Ihre Abkürzung nicht genannt wird – schreiben Sie uns und berichten Sie, warum gerade diese Abkürzung der nächsten Aufl age hinzugefügt werden sollte.
