Textbook of Biochemistry for Medical Students By DM Vasudevan, 10th Edition 2023.

This book contains 6 sections. The first section covers the chemical basis of life, where molecules found in the human body are introduced to the students. The second section deals with the general metabolism. The third section is clinical and applied biochemistry, where the emphasis is given to clinical applications and the relevance of the study of biochemistry for understanding medical problems. The fourth section is nutrition, and the fifth section describes molecular biology including molecular diagnosis. The final section contains laboratory medicine, HIV, COVID-19, cancer, and other advanced topics. Chapters on Clinical and Applied Biochemistry are updated along with clinically relevant points. Advances in Molecular Biology added. Learning Objectives are given at the beginning of each chapter. Competencies are covered in the chapters. Case Studies are given in boxes for Early Clinical Exposure. Enriched with 1200+ figures, 200+ tables, and 200+ boxes, altogether making it more student-friendly.

Comprehensive Textbook of Medical Physiology (2 Volumes) by GK Pal, 3rd Edition.

In new CBME program, competency map has been provided by NMC for each subject. Competency map in the tabular format with reference to chapter and page number and citation of competency code inside the relevant places in text, have been provided in this new edition. Clinical application and applied aspects have been made more updated and revised. More numbers of ‘Clinical Notes’ and ‘Important Notes’ have been added to this edition, to make the student understand the physiological basis of clinical applications in medicine. New topics of Physiology of Stress, Physiology of Yoga and Meditation, Brain Death, Glucose Homeostasis and Pathophysiology of Diabetes and Body Fluid Volume Homeostasis, and Clinical Case Scenarios have been added to this edition. Physiology is a rapidly advancing subject. All major concepts and advances in physiology have been thoroughly incorporated in the text. The presentation of the texts, especially to explain key concepts have been made more structured with more point-wise (bulleted) description. Multiple choice questions (MCQs) that are part of all kinds of assessments have been thoroughly reviewed and new clinical-based and application-based MCQs have been added in this new edition.
