A unique textbook of physiology as it introduces each topic with Learning Objectives divided into Must Know and Desirable to Know categories. Applied aspects are highlighted in Application Box and the patient- and disease-related concepts are highlighted in Clinical Box. Important and useful facts are emphasized as Important Note(s). All important and complex information are structured and presented in a bulleted and point-wise format to make easy grasp of the topics and not to miss any of the relevant points. All the major concepts are simplified and summarized in the Flowcharts. All relevant and significant mechanisms are described with the help of easily drawable schematic diagrams and graphs. Important data and information are presented in a structured tabular format. All cellular and molecular mechanisms are supplemented with appropriate histological pictures. Substantial contribution of great scientists in the concerned field has been recognized as Scientists Contributed, which will be inspiring to all the budding physiologists. All topics end with a Chapter Summary having two parts: Key Concepts depicting central theme and Must Read/Know depicting all probable Long and Short Questions and Viva Questions for final exams. Multiple choice questions are given at the end of each chapter that will help in preparing for objective type tests, quiz competition, and PG Entrance/NEET Exams. All systems and topics have been thoroughly revised and updated with addition of 23 new chapters, mainly to accommodate more applied and clinical topics, based on the new curriculum of NMC, 2019 and to facilitate early clinical exposure. Early Clinical Exposure in Physiology has been described at the end as a separate chapter. Thus, this is a Comprehensive Textbook that has incorporated all the requirements of a medical student imparting knowledge and skill in the subject, acquiring all the ingredients needed to write the examination, and kindling the aspiration to progress in the profession.

Multi-authored book. Thoroughly revised, updated and rewritten to present a comprehensive account of tuberculosis (TB) and nontuberculous mycobacterial diseases. It has contribution of experts from several parts of the world with a vast experience. Beginning with insights into the history and epidemiology of tuberculosis, the book deals extensively with the current understanding of the immunology, and immunopathogenetic mechanisms of this disease. The clinical presentation, laboratory diagnosis, the treatment of TB of various organ systems, prevention and control of TB are extensively covered. Chapters have also been devoted to HIV-TB co-infection, drug-resistant TB (including M/XDR-TB), ethical and legal issues in TB, Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme, Global TB Control Programme, and the role of medical schools in TB Control Programmes. Includes revised chapter on nontuberculous mycobacterial diseases. This edition will be an asset to both undergraduate and postgraduate medical students, a source of reference to the researchers. Will help practicing doctors to update their knowledge and aid in rationale, scientific and efficient management of patients with TB. It is hoped that the reader who has gone through third edition of this book from cover to cover will get a comprehensive birds eye view of this subject.

The book describes the general cytology, exfoliative cytology, laboratory techniques, and fine-needle aspiration cytology. The main asset of the book is the demonstration of different cytological techniques in a video format. A simple, concise, illustrative book with a large number of tables, boxes, line arts, and microphotographs. The molecular pathology and immunocytochemistry of various tumors are described. All the updated classification of the World Health Organization and International Academy of Cytologists are included. The digital pathology, whole-slide scanning and artificial neural network, polymerise chain reaction, and next-generation sequencing are described in detail. The significant addition of the book is the introduction of different cytological techniques in a video format.
