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.
The book is expected to be a useful aid to the study of medical disorders from a textbook of medicine both at undergraduate as well as post-graduate levels It is also meant to be used as a textbook of patho-physiology by B. Pharm. students.This book gives a brief account of modern concepts of physiology and patho-physiology. It will also be useful to senior medical and surgical specialists engaged in private practice.

These proceedings review and discuss the different aspects of the biology of the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) and its involvement in the pathogenesis of brain disorders. The BBB, formed by a complex cellular system of endothelial cells, astroglia, pericytes, perivascular macrophages and a basal membrane, serves as a controlled functional gate to CNS. In vitro and in vivo models have been established to study the cellular and molecular interaction within the BBB and between the BBB and the neural cells. The structural and functional integrity of the BBB was shown to be dramatically altered during various diseases of the CNS, including neoplasia, ischemia, trauma, inflammation and bacterial and viral infections. Two approaches to drug delivery across the BBB have been pursued, based on either modulation of the permeability of the barrier or by conjugation of the drug to substrates of the active transport systems of the BBB.

This book has incorporated the techniques for a logical and accurate interpretation of the clinical information according to the modern examination system. The first edition of this book was published with the intention of helping students learn the basics of data interpretation and practice by themselves. Its huge popularity and wide acceptance among students have encouraged the author to upgrade the book and bring out this new edition enriched with new cases and pictures of a variety of clinical conditions. 100 new clinical cases have been added. The text contains variety in clinical setup and the amount of data provided in each setup. Includes data on cardiac catheterization and a whole new chapter on pictorial diagnosis which contains 100 clinical pictures. Various modifications have been made in the book according to various innovative suggestions made by teachers and students. Incorporates many long and short questions with proper investigations, largely based on the real cases. Answers are given with brief short notes of the specific problems so that the reader can get some idea without going through a big textbook.

This book fulfills the need for a balanced report on current understanding of dietetics and nutrition. It sifts through mountains of literature and constructs a concrete structure from scattered information. Data that are still speculative are identified as such, facts are so stated and erroneous beliefs are exposed. All this is done in a language that dieticians, nutritionists, medical professionals and busy homemakers are all comfortable with. The latest edition has been fully updated (with up-to-date references provided) and is more crisp but accommodating. This latest edition has retained the earlier four part format, wherein the first deals with the elements of dietetics and nutrition, the second deals with the food items, the third with clinical dietetics and the fourth with nutritional values.
Following the latest clinical guidelines and evidence, written and reviewed by experts, this handbook will ensure you are up to date and have the confidence to deal with all emergency presentations, practices, and procedures. In line with the latest developments in the field, such as infection control, DNR orders, advanced directives and learning disability, the book also includes new sections specifically outlining patient advice and information, as well as new and revised vital information on paediatrics and psychiatry. For all junior doctors, specialist nurses, paramedics, clinical students, GPs and other allied health professionals, this rapid-reference handbook will become a vital companion for both study and practice.
The book 'Community Pharmacology' a problem based approach is certainly a significant step along the path towards more appropriate use of medicines. The approach is built around the appropriate treatment of illustrative cases rather than a more traditional encyclopedia method of presenting pharmacological information.
