Pittsburgh, April 14, 2025 -- Nova Science Publishers has released the second edition of The Evolution of Health Literacy: Empowering Patients Through Improved Education, co-authored by University of Pittsburgh Department of Neurological Surgery assistant professor Nitin Agarwal, MD.
According to the publisher’s website, “Physicians have long pledged to adhere to four basic moral principles, a concise framework for the larger field of medical ethics. As is commonly known, those values consist of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. To advocate for these principles for our patients, medical professionals must first ensure patients have appropriate medical resources from which to glean information. This text serves to underscore this concept and advance the field of patient education. This updated 2nd edition of the text builds upon the knowledge in the first edition and is dedicated to our patients.”
David R. Hansberry, MD, PhD, a vascular and interventional radiologist practicing in New Jersey, and Arpan V. Prabhu, MD, an assistant professor with the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Radiation Oncology, are co-authors of the book.
