Clinical Studies In Medical Biochemistry

This edition uses actual clinical cases to illustrate important principles of biochemistry and molecular biology in the context of human disease. The format of each chapter remains the same - case presentation, diagnosis, therapy and references.

Expert biochemist N.V. Bhagavan’s new work condenses his successful Medical Biochemistry texts along with numerous case studies, to act as an extensive review and reference guide for both students and experts alike. The research-driven content includes four-color illustrations throughout to develop an understanding of the events and processes that are occurring at both the molecular and macrolecular levels of physiologic regulation, clinical effects, and interactions. Using thorough introductions, end of chapter reviews, fact-filled tables, and related multiple-choice questions, Bhagavan provides the reader with the most condensed yet detailed biochemistry overview available. More than a quick survey, this comprehensive text includes USMLE sample exams from Bhagavan himself, a previous coauthor. * Clinical focus emphasizing relevant physiologic and pathophysiologic biochemical concepts * Interactive multiple-choice questions to prep for USMLE exams * Clinical case studies for understanding basic science, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases * Instructional overview figures, flowcharts, and tables to enhance understanding

Essentials of Medical Biochemistry, Second Edition: With Clinical Cases is the most condensed, yet detailed biochemistry overview available on the topic. It presents contemporary coverage of the fundamentals of biochemistry, emphasizing relevant physiologic and pathophysiologic biochemical concepts. Pivotal clinical case studies aid in understanding basic science in the context of diagnosis and treatment of human diseases, and the text illuminates key topics in molecular immunology and hemostasis. Users will find basic and fundamental concepts that will aid students and professionals in biochemistry, medicine, and other healthcare disciplines. the text is a useful refresher that will help users meet USMLE and other professional licensing examination requirements, providing thorough introductions, key points, multicolored illustrations of chemical structures and figures, fact-filled tables, and recommended reading lists. Presents essential biochemical concepts within the context of their biological functions Contains key clinical case studies in each chapter to enhance understanding of basic science and aid in further comprehension Offers instructional overview figures, flowcharts, tables and multicolored illustrations Includes integrated, recommended reading reference lists within the text Provides an online ancillary package inclusive of PowerPoint images and more than 500 study questions to aid in comprehension and USMLE exam preparation

Clinical Biochemistry is about patients - how we investigate their signs and symptoms, how we diagnose their illnesses and how we treat them. In this book the authors present a series of clinical cases, all based on real patients, and invite the reader to answer key questions using their knowledge and experience of each topic. Each case and its questions are accompanied by the authors' detailed answers, which can be found by simply turning the page. As such, it is an ideal revision aid for those studying Medicine, Nursing and Biomedical Sciences and for those preparing for post-graduate membership examinations.

"For over 30 years, this title sets the standard as a practical guide for physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other practitioners involved in all forms of clinical and public health research. It presents the epidemiologic concepts in a reader-friendly way and suggests common sense approaches to the challenging judgments involved in designing, funding and implementing a study. Translated in many languages over the years, it is a manual for clinical research in it various flavors: clinical trials, observational epidemiology, translated science, patient-oriented research. Epidemiologic- terms and principles, presented advanced conceptual material in a practical and reader friendly way and suggested common sense approaches to many judgments involved in designing a study"--

Biochemistry for Clinical Medicine integrates, in a single volume, all aspects of biochemistry required by a medical student.

For nearly 30 years, Principles of Medical Biochemistry has integrated medical biochemistry with molecular genetics, cell biology, and genetics to provide complete yet concise coverage that links biochemistry with clinical medicine. The 4th Edition of this award-winning text by Drs. Gerhard Meisenberg and William H. Simmons has been fully updated with new clinical examples, expanded coverage of recent changes in the field, and many new case studies online. A highly visual format helps readers retain complex information, and USMLE-style questions (in print and online) assist with exam preparation. Just the right amount of detail on biochemistry, cell biology, and genetics – in one easy-to-digest textbook. Full-color illustrations and tables throughout help students master challenging concepts more easily. Online case studies serve as a self-assessment and review tool before exams. Online access includes nearly 150 USMLE-style questions in addition to the questions that are in the book. Glossary of technical terms. Clinical Boxes and Clinical Content demonstrate the integration of basic sciences and clinical applications, helping readers make connections between the two. New clinical examples have been added throughout the text.

The new edition of the best-selling Lecture Notes title is aconcise introduction to clinical biochemistry that presents thefundamental science underpinning common biochemical investigationsused in clinical practice. Lecture Notes: Clinical Biochemistry allows thereader to make efficient and informed use of the diagnosticservices offered by their clinical biochemistry department. Theresult is a text that serves as a reference to the practitioner aswell as the student. The book takes a system-based approach, withthe underlying physiological rationale for any test explained inthe context of disruption by disease. This leads naturally to anintegrated and practical understanding of biochemicaldiagnostics. Including multiple choice questions (MCQs) alongsideend-of-chapter case studies to help develop test-selection skills,Lecture Notes: Clinical Biochemistry provides the essentialbackground to biochemical investigations and is an ideal coursecompanion and revision guide for medical students, junior doctorson the Foundation Programme, general practitioners, and nurses andlaboratory technicians.
