The answers contain summaries of essential factual information and provide practical tips for future reference. This book will prove to be an invaluable revision aid for junior hospital doctors, and will also assist trainees to acquire a good working knowledge of general (internal) medicine, which is an essential requirement before enrolment into a higher specialism.

THE STRUCTURED STORAGE OF ONCOLOGICAL CHEMOTERAPEUTIC REGIMENS (version 1.0) The created XML structure of CHR consists of two parts. The first deals with the identification of CHR and the possibility of their use in oncological diagnosis (header). An example of this header is shown in figure 2.
