How Sex and Gender Impact Clinical Practice, 2nd Edition, edited by Marjorie R. Jenkins and Connie B. Newman, aligns sex and gender medicine with precision medicine to support clinicians in delivering personalized care. This book examines biological and social factors across diverse clinical disciplines to establish an evidence-based foundation for evaluating sex and gender differences in patient management.

The content progression explores major disease categories, detailing sex and gender influences in cardiovascular conditions such as acute ischemic syndrome and heart failure. It reviews respiratory diseases including obstructive sleep apnea, COPD, and asthma, alongside cancer screening protocols for lung, breast, and colorectal malignancies. Additional sections analyze complex neurological conditions such as stroke, migraine, and Alzheimer's dementia.

A notable addition to this second edition is a dedicated chapter focusing on the sex and gender aspects of pain. By consolidating current medical evidence across these clinical areas, the volume offers evidence-based perspectives to support healthcare providers in incorporating sex and gender considerations into daily practice.
