Clinical Methods in Pain Medicine heralds a new era in pain management. Pain medicine or pain management is recognized as thirty-fourth specialty in the USA and as a separate specialty in many other countries. Unfortunately there are no separate clinical methods developed for this specialty. Pain medicine is strengthening and a larger number of physicians are now taking to pain management, though they are evaluating the patients in their own ways. There is a desperate need of systematic way of evaluation of the patients suffering from pain. Pain medicine started as a palliative care with the intention just to give pain relief in incurable disease. Later, it broadened its approach to cure other painful curable diseases too. There is a definite need to make diagnosis of the painful conditions, and follow a systematic approach of evaluation of patients suffering from pain. This book makes the first attempt to develop clinical methods in pain medicine based on analysis and compilation of available literature and clinical methods in other similar specialties. The book covers regional symptoms like headache, neck pain, low back pain, etc. Each chapter includes separate section to identify red flags or danger signals, flowcharts or algorithms to narrow diagnosis, and suggested investigations to confirm diagnosis. The second edition presents thoroughly revised and updated text; some chapters have been completely rewritten to accommodate recent scientific information and facts useful to the clinicians.

Clinical Case Studies in Anatomy, are integral part of early clinical exposure (ECE). ECE has been introduced in the subject of anatomy in MBBS phase I as per the competency based medical education (CBME) of undergraduate curriculum for Indian medical graduate. This is an integrated approach to understand various clinical problems with reasoning and structured questions and answers. This book will enhance the students thinking ability to apply the anatomical knowledge in various clinical aspects.

Clinical Biochemistry Questions and Answers Biochemistry is a difficult subject where even the postgraduate students find it difficult to correlate the biochemical changes that occur in human body in the state of health and disease. This book aims to present selected crucial concepts of biochemistry in a lucid, mathematical and compact way with suitable illustrations. The topics have been chosen keeping in mind the need of a medical student to understand biochemistry at clinical level. The aim is to help students digest and assimilate the actual biochemical phenomena as they occur in human body in health and disease, rather than remembering cycles and facts from textbooks. A brilliant mind is that which seeks answers to the unknown. The book, written in question and answer format, is in no way meant to be a substitute for regular textbooks on the subject but is only meant to be a companion to the students who want to critically understand and revise the matter to be able to apply a similar approach to learning whole biochemistry and answer with confidence and reasoning the difficult questions based on biochemistry asked in various PG entrance examinations.
