• A great boon to medical students both undergraduates and postgraduates who want to be self- significant in statistical analysis. It is a book that every medical person and medical college library must possess.
• This edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. In this context the chapter “Computer Application in Biostatistical Analysis: An SPSS Manual” has been added.
• Use of computers for which special chapter has been added in brief has greatly facilitated the analysis of the work done in medical field and biosciences too.
This is a premier text and reference for students and professionals in the medical instrumentation area. It provides a comprehensive overview of the basic concepts of medical instrumentation showing the interdisciplinary nature of Bioinstrumentation. This book enlists information on infant apnea monitors, impedance pneumography, the design of cardiac pacemakers and disposable defibrillator electrodes and their standards.
Questions at the end of each Chapter prepare the student for practical viva-voce. Case reports orient the students to medical application of the basic sciences and prepare them for the viva-voce as well. A list of spotters has also been given after consulting many syllabi. Useful not only for the basic science students but also for the medico-clinical students.

This book primarily aims to render quick revision of Anatomy, Histology, and Embryology for the rapid-fire round of viva voce examination. It will assist students to learn numerous concepts and practical aspects of the subject in short period of time, before they appear for university examination. This edition like its predecessor is a selective collection of the most frequently asked questions. The text has been extensively updated and new illustrations have been added. A new chapter on ‘Living Anatomy’ has been included.
Understanding haematology requires knowledge of physiology, insight into pathogenesis and essential pathological processes, laboratory tests (with their limitations and strengths), and clinical medicine. For diagnosis of a haematological disease, integration of clinical examination findings and haematological tests is necessary and final evaluation and judgement has to come from co-ordination between the pathologist and the clinician. Essentials of haematology is an effort to make understanding of haematology easier so that it will facilitate learning by students and help them solve haematological problems in their clinical practice.
