WELL-CONNECTED is a library of reports on common diseases and wellness issues. Each report is an in-depth discussion of the latest information on treatments, risk factors, causes, diagnostic tests, and preventative measures.

All reports are written by experienced medical writers and reviewed for accuracy and relevancy by a board of physicians at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital.

Our editors and writers research 100s of professional articles for each topic over the course of a year. We assess and incorporate into each report the most current, relevant, and authoritative information available. Other features: extensive tables, links to reviewed and useful sites, links for locating specialists, links to Medline and other articles used in updating the reports.

These reports are not intended as a substitute for medical professional help or advice but are to be used only as an aid in understanding current medical knowledge. A physician should always be consulted for any health problem or medical condition. The reports may not be copied without the express permission of the publisher.
