Colour Atlas Of Wildlife Diseases and Disorders
After the first publications of Wild mammalia reproduction and conservation and Indian wildlife diseases and disorders by B.M.Arora, Principal Scientist, Wildlife and Ex-Director National Zoological Park it was realized that findings of various studies conducted in husbandry associated health problems and diseases and disorders in in-situ and ex-situ wildlife conservation be compiled and produce in the form of ?A Colour Atlas of Wildlife Diseases and Disorders?. It appears that no such attempts have been made so far to bring out such practical guide for the professionals working in the field of wildlife health, management and conservation. On the aspects this Atlas is embellished with pictorial illustrations (predominately contains colour illustrations but where they were not available black and white) of cases of approx 860 mammals, 102 aves and 90 reptilian and amphibian. Thus, the Atlas is unique, not only in illustrating and expressing in detail development anomalies, eco- husbandry associated hazards, nutritional and metabolic disorders and infectious and parasitic diseases and neoplasms, diseases and disorders pictoriafly in diverse Artiodactylid, non-human primate, rodents and pangolins, perissodactylid, protoboscid, bird, reptile & amphibian species and entailing their magnitude in two different, in-situ and ex-situ management environments. The Atlas also imbibes few important case reports pertaining to exotic species from wildlife management point of view which have been added avizendamaly to apprise the field workers and wildlife managers. This would facilitate the research scientist, scholars and academicians in understanding impact of wildlife management and disease problems in the country. The Atlas is definitive perspective treasure, likely to aid and guide for the workers of discipline of wildlife health management and those engaged in disease investigation and diagnoses, which are difficult and always involves cumbersome laboratory procedures and need reference works. Over all eventually it will be baneful to the field professionals engaged in wildlife health and eco- husbandry management practices.
Colour Atlas of Medicinal Plants (Common Names & Classifications)
Colour Atlas of Medicinal Plants (Common Names & Classifications) Natural products from the medicinal plant source are the main cast of modem drug in clinical use. Herbs are used by man from the beginning of human culture as a source of medicine. WHO estimates that more than 80 % of the worlds population relies on plants as the primary medicinal source for the treatment of common diseases. People not only use herbs as medicines but also as food and cosmetics.

This book will not only serve for the students and faculties of technical courses but it will also do well for vaidyas and hakims too, who could make use of this book by its photographs in communicating their ideas.
Clinics in Reproductive Medicine and Assisted Reproductive Technology Volume 3
Like the previous two volumes (1 and 2), this volume (3) also covers a wide range of topics beginning with ?Basics of Reproduction? and ending with ?Practical Guide to Quality Management in ART Clinic in Indian Context?. In between, contemporary clinical, embryological and fundamental areas of infertility treatable by ART and non- ART protocols have been elaborately discussed in different chapters of this book.
The two most non-ART treatment protocols in infertility management are ?ovulation induction and ?Luteal Phase Support. Clomiphene citrate is still the most commonly used drug for ovulation-induction approved by FDA. Realizing its ?limitation?, some researchers have suggested and introduced aromatase inhibitor (letrozole) as an alternative to clomiphene citrate, although this drug to be used for ovulation-induction is yet to be approved by FDA. The merits and demerits of these two drugs have been thoroughly discussed in different chapters of this book ?Recent trends in ovulation induction? and ?Is letrozole better in ovulation induction??Another controversial topic is luteal phase defect, the controversies exist from definition, its reality of existence and, therefore, the relevance of treatment of LPD in clinical practice. These points have been exhaustively discussed in related chapters of this book.
Clinics in Reproductive Medicine and Assisted Reproductive Technology Volume 2
Clinics in Reproductive Medicine and Assisted Reproductive Technology Volume 2 of the book Clinics in Reproductive Medicine and Assisted Reproductive Technology deals with more commonly encountered clinical topics in infertility practice like PCOS, endometriosis, uterine factors in female infertility, hyperprolactinemia and hypothyroidism in reproductive medicine and immunological factors in infertility and recurrent miscarriage. To make the presentations more specific and transparent, each chapter has been classified into subchapters for readers' convenience of easy understanding. In current infertility practice, PCOS and endometriosis are two major problems. Attempt has been made to highlight the recent concepts and future thoughts about approach to management of these two intractable and perplexing gynecological disorders leading to infertility. Planning an ideal ovarian stimulation protocol for an individual patient is a critical step in IVF treatment care. From clinical experience, it is very apparent that 'one-size fits all' theory cannot be applied to all IVF patients for formulating their suitable stimulation regime. Rather it is essential to predetermine individual ovarian potential before embarking on the specific regime of ovarian stimulation. In addition, it is being speculated that all types of COS currently practiced may have an adverse impact on endometrial receptivity. Obviously, there is a gradual move towards the dictum 'freeze all embryos transfer in next cycle'. These problems, their practical solutions and limitations have been elaborately discussed in different chapters dealing with controlled ovarian stimulation. In addition, the chapter on anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) adds further information of the background for the development of 'personalized ovarian stimulation' for each individual patient undergoing IVF treatment cycle. The individualized stimulation protocol for poorly responding women (low ovarian reserve) has already been incorporated in Volume 1 of the book.

Clinics in Reproductive Medicine and Assisted Reproductive Technology Volume 1
Clinics in Reproductive Medicine and Assisted Reproductive Technology Volume 1 is primarily intended for the students and practitioners of reproductive medicine. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has evolved over the years in a fascinating manner. Many unexplored areas of human reproduction are being explored daily, adding new information to our existing knowledge, and some of these areas have been included in this volume. A substantial part of this volume is dedicated to male infertility which is responsible for 40?45% cases of failure of normal human reproduction, posing a real challenge for ART specialists. The author has attempted to clarify several ?grey areas? in the concepts of male infertility. The different aspects of male infertility covering etiology, investigation and management, including ICSI, have been dealt with in eight different subchapters. Two interesting and important topics ?Reactive Oxygen Species? and ?Role of Nutraceuticals in Male Infertility? have also been included. Another subject, ?Low Ovarian Reserve?, has also been dealt with exhaustively for the benefit of the readers. This subject has been divided over three different chapters: ?Genesis of Poor Ovarian Reserve?, ?Predictors of Response to Ovarian Stimulation? and ?Management of Poor Responders?. The chapters on ?Current Concept of Physiology of Ovulation? and ?Approach to Diagnosis of Primary Amenorrhoea? have been treated in a very scientific manner and offer a clear and concise understanding of the topics. Chapter on ?Sexual Ambiguity-Intersex Disorders? has been dealt with utmost dedication, with inputs drawn from the author?s own vast experience of teaching and clinical practice. From the academic point of view, a comprehensive knowledge in reproductive medicine demands a sound background of the basic science compounded with an intelligent application of the same in clinical medicine.
