This book is a unique compendium of update and essential information on all range of pediatric topics with emphasis on pediatric problems of developing countries. It is written in a concise, easy-to-read format and is intended for use by pediatric residents, senior medical undergraduates, postgraduates in pediatrics, practicing pediatricians and physicians. While working as a pediatrician for more than 25 years, the author fascinated by the various types of pediatric cases and problems at home and abroad, which he always desired to record. During his service of 20 years in Dhaka Shishu Hospital, in addition to his clinical workload, he was also preoccupied with administrative works even after office hours, particularly with administrative jobs of director of hospital and academic director of Bangladesh Institute of Child Health for significant part of his service in that institute. After joining United Hospital Ltd in 2009, administrative work dropped significantly which provided him with ample opportunity and scope to write the book. Unique combination of his wide pediatric experience in resource-poor developing countries like Bangladesh (Dhaka Shishu Hospital, a government-aided autonomous hospital and United Hospital Ltd, a corporate tertiary care private hospital) in relatively resource-rich Middle East countries and in industrialized countries like UK helped him in writing the book in global perspective. The book contains almost all the topics of pediatrics with special emphasis on child health and pediatric problems. For instance, significant emphasis has been given on subjects like malnutrition, diarrheal diseases, pneumonia, breastfeeding, infectious diseases like tuberculosis, typhoid, dengue, malaria, neonatal problems like preterm low birthweight baby, neonatal sepsis, birth asphyxia, community pediatrics including integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI). The book has been enriched with colorful attractive illustrations, which include clinical photographs, drawings, sketches to complement clinical understanding. A total of 1,042 such clinical illustrations have been included taken from his personal collection, Internet and other sources which are unique of the book. Clinical methodology particularly clinical examination of nervous system, cardiovascular system and neonatal examination (where postgraduates are frequently puzzled to perform) are discussed with illustrations which the author believes will help postgraduates as well as senior undergraduates to perform well at clinical part of professional examinations. The book contains drug therapy chapter containing names of drugs frequently used in pediatric practice with their generic names, trade names, doses and indications of use in attractive easy-to-find way in order to facilitate drug treatment in hospital setting and writing prescription by practitioners at their private chamber and at community-level practice.

The book is thoroughly written keeping in time with the rapidly changing concepts in pediatrics besides being evidence- based in that aspect. Apart from being an excellent textbook for undergraduates and postgraduates, the book has a quantum of knowledge to be cherished by the fellow pediatricians across the globe.The book is presented with the day-to-day management guidelines also to benefit the practicing pediatricians and family physicians who need to be updated on fundamentals useful for their practice. The book will, therefore, continue to be a reference volume for the undergraduates, even as they become practitioners of pediatrics, as a desktop-reference volume and ready-reckoner, because today’s medical student is tomorrow’s practitioner.

The third edition of this textbook is a comprehensive guide to clinical electrocardiography. The text has been fully updated and new topics added. New sections include discussion on conduction disturbance, arrhythmias and pace makers, with an additional chapter on pre-arrest arrhythmias and cardiac resuscitation based on recommendations of the European Resuscitation Council, endorsed by the British Resuscitation Council. The book features 674 images and illustrations including original, colour ECGs which have been enlarged and are accompanied by detailed explanations.

The need for a book exclusively designed to meet the needs of Indian physicians was dire, and it was at such a time that author wrote the first edition of Modern Medical Toxicology, taking great care to incorporate only information that was current and practically useful. In order to make it interesting to medical students, author had included a number of case histories, anecdotes and quotations. But, over a period of time, author realised that the information content with regard to toxicology for medicos had improved considerably in recent textbooks of forensic medicine (a possible, positive fallout of MMT), and the focus, therefore, should shift exclusively to physicians.

The term mnemonic came from name of the Greek Goddess of memory—Mnemosyne, the mother of the Muses whose name means ‘remembrance’. The mnemonics had always been a very easy, interesting and effective tool for learning. These memory pearls make the learning enjoyable.

The overall objective of the book has been to provide concise yet authoritative coverage on the basics of Biochemistry with clinical approach to understand the disease processes. The important points in the text to be remembered by the students have been highlighted in bold and italicised prints.

It is rather remarkable that when the cardiac muscle undergoes depolarization and repolarization, these electrical events can be recorded from the body surface; hence the birth of electrocardiography. And this ECG amazingly provides a wealth of clinically useful information as exhibited in this atlas. Thus, ECG is a valuable diagnostic tool that we use in daily clinical practice. Therefore, for quality patient care, it is important that we become proficient in its interpretation. In this atlas, after brief presentations on the basic aspects of ECG, I have compiled typical examples of nearly all ECG entities that we commonly encounter. The primary intent is to help you with pattern recognition, point out salient features, and to help you understand the logic behind the ECG manifestations.
