Full Description
This is the first well-written book about medical biochemistry based on the pattern of objective-structured practical examination (OSPE). Objective-structured practical examination assessments enable assessment of theoretical, practical and problem-solving skills at multiple stations. This book also comprises of similar sections. The first section, an introduction to the laboratory, covers all aspects of practical biochemistry, the second section provides clinical discussions based on theoretical concepts and the third section on self-assessment allows students to apply their knowledge, skills and abilities gained through this book. This book represents an extremely simplified presentation of biochemical facts.
Key features:
An innovative book that presents the text in a simple language with a clinical approach.
Provides an insight about the role of biochemistry in the day-to-day life and in the disease processes.
Emphasis is given to the applied aspect of biochemistry.
Highlights the clinical problems/diseases in the form of case studies and their solution by applying the fundamental concepts.
