The aim of this book is to focus on the practical clinical biochemistry: methods and interpretations. The book has been revised with addition of topics as per latest Medical Council of India (MCI) guidelines for undergraduate curriculum. This book consists of 55 chapters, which include hazards in the clinical biochemistry laboratory, quality control in clinical laboratory, determination of pH, tests for carbohydrates, gastric juice analysis, urinary ascorbic acid, hemoglobin and its derivatives, automation, liver function tests, cardiac function tests, kidney function tests, pancreatic function tests, tumor markers, thyroid function tests, serum aminotransferases, serum bilirubin, serum uric acid, blood sugar, glucose tolerance test, blood lipids, serum calcium, chromatography, flame photometer, therapeutic drug monitoring, lean six sigma approach for clinical laboratories, additional topics as per revised MCI Guidelines for undergraduate curriculum, etc. This book will not only equip undergraduates with basic facts of the subject but will also help postgraduate students in keeping abreast with the latest knowledge. Coverage of such topics and knowledge of the latest development will match the standards required for postgraduate students. To bridge the gap between clinicians and clinical laboratories, more than 400 Case Reports/Viva Questions have been added at the end of each chapter. This will not only increase the knowledge of students but also will evoke interest in students in the subject.

Biochemistry is the branch of science concerned with the chemical and physicochemical processes and substances which occur within living organisms. This textbook is the 10th edition of the ?Textbook of Biochemistry for Medical Students?. This book contains 6 sections. The first section covers the chemical basis of life, where molecules found in the human body are introduced to the students. The second section deals with general metabolism. The third section is clinical and applied biochemistry, where the emphasis is given to clinical applications and the relevance of the study of biochemistry for understanding medical problems. The fourth section focus on nutrition and the fifth section describes molecular biology including molecular diagnosis. The final section contains laboratory medicine, HIV, COVID, cancer and other advanced topics. A major attraction of this edition is the incorporation of clinical case studies in almost all chapters. Essay questions, short notes, multiple choice questions and viva voce type questions are given at the end of every chapter. These questions are compiled from the question papers of various universities during the last decade and have been suitably rephrased to satisfy the evaluation criteria of the new curriculum.

This book focuses on human embryology. Human embryogenesis is the process of cell division and cellular differentiation of the embryo that occurs during the early stages of development. In biological terms, human development entails growth from a one-celled zygote to an adult human being. This book consists of 25 chapters, which include introduction and some preliminary considerations, genetics and molecular biology in embryology, reproductive system, gametogenesis, ovarian and menstrual cycles, fertilization and formation of germ layers, further development of embryonic disc, placenta, fetal membranes and twinning, formation of tissues of the body, pharyngeal arches, skeletal system and muscular system, face, nose and palate, alimentary system, liver and biliary apparatus, pancreas and spleen, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, urogenital system, nervous system, endocrine glands, development of the ear, and embryology ready reckoner. This new edition includes reorganization of content between the textbook and the online additional resource, chapterwise MCQs for easy accessibility and replacing number of figures with easy to draw student friendly diagrams, taking meticulous care in covering the competencies of NMC. Further several interesting and simple learning resources shall be available online/offline along with the book.

The aim of this manual is to focus on clinical surgery. This book has achieved a legendary popularity in the Indian subcontinent and has been recommended by all the Universities and Medical Colleges. Identified as the most valuable book to the entrants of the Surgical Wards. This book is consists of 40 chapters that mainly focus on general scheme of case-taking, examination of a lump or a swelling, examination of an ulcer, examination of the lymphatic system, examination of diseases of bone, examination of bone and joint injuries, examination of pathological joints, examination of spinal injuries, examination of the palate, cheek, tongue and floor of the mouth, examination of the thyroid gland, examination of the breast, examination of a case of dysphagia, examination of abdominal injuries, examination of an acute abdomen, examination of chronic abdominal conditions, examination of an abdominal lump, examination of a rectal case, examination of a urinary case, and examination of a case of hernia. Each chapter begins with history-taking?the interrogations to be made to the patient, followed by the methods of physical examinations and special investigations which will be necessary for that particular case. A reasoned explanation based on Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology has been included whenever necessary to explain most of the symptoms and signs. Diagnostic and prognostic significances have been discussed along with history-taking, various physical examinations and special investigations. A list of differential diagnoses has been incorporated at the end of each chapter.
