Quick Review Series for BDS 1st Year is a comprehensive book for undergraduate first-year students of dental sciences. The book comprises of chapters on general anatomy, general histology, embryology, physiology, biochemistry, dental anatomy, and oral histology. In addition, the book consists of a collection of questions from last 20 years, diagrams, and multiple choice questions for thorough practice and revision. This book is essential for students pursuing dentistry from medical colleges of India.
MCQs in Pharmacology covers all the topics in pharmacology. It contains total number of 1301 questions. These questions have been designed for self-assessment and revision. However the chief value of the book lies in the detailed explanatory text which accompanies each MCQ. This book is intended for students of pharmacy and medicine. It will also be useful in providing ideas and material for use by teaching staff and examiners. It will be especially useful for the undergraduate students of pharmacy and medicine who are preparing for postgraduate entrance examinations.
