Medical (general)
as in:
Farmaci Analgesici. Generalità. Classificazione
Antisettici e disinfettanti. Generalità: Fenoli, cresoli, etc.
Chemioterapia. Generalità: meccanismi d'azione, chemioresistenza
The above of from a course syllabus. I'm not sure what's the best option in this case. In addition, the term seems to be used somewhat inconsistently but I'd like to use a single term.
Basic/general information? It doesn't sound right...
What would be more appropriate in an academic setting? Thank you in advance for any input.

Particulars
Though a bit counter-intuitive, I suggest you use "Particulars".

Note from asker:
| Hi Rachel, thank you so much. I was hoping to meet you. Your proposal would be great if it was "general principles of analgesic treatment" but this is not the case. In the second instance (same paragraph) "General principles: phenols, cresols" doesn't seem ideal. It fits with chemotherapy though. The problem is the Italian |
