Description
Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers Iap Textbook Of Pediatrics 6Th Edition by MKC Nair and PSN Menon and Ritabrata Kundu and Piyush Gupta and K Nedunchelian and Jaydeep Choudhury and Alok Gupta and more
The book represents a substantial revision and reorganization of the text based on a complete review of the field of Pediatrics.
A major change in this edition is the concerted effort to condense the contents of the 6th edition in a single volume. There are 21 chapters carefully revised and updated by the respective authors. These changes are in accordance with the wishes expressed by several readers and also suggestions received from the publisher. The entire contents of the textbook were formulated to provide relevant clinical information and national priorities at one site. Judicious balance of old and young authors was made by retaining most authors as far as possible and at the same time inducting new experts in chosen fields. All the chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated in a lucid and readable style and have undergone a three-tier review and edit process.
