Description
New Age International (P) Ltd., Publishers Medical Biochemistry Laboratory Manual by Dr. N. Mallikarjuna Rao
This book presents the essential core information required by undergraduate medical students to carry out quantitative and qualitative experiments in routine day to day biochemistry practical classes. Principles, procedures, observation, inference and clinical importance of each experiment and test or reaction are explained in simple language. Diagrams and line drawings are provided for easy understanding of experiments.
The most striking feature of the book is the presentation of text of qualitative experiments as clear tables. Procedures of quantitative experiments are also presented as tables. As aid to students, calculations are given after procedure. General medical biochemistry laboratory instructions given in the beginning of the book are useful for safe working and handling of lab ware. Spotters and interpretation of lab data checks the students ability to integrate laboratory findings to health and disease. Exercises prepare students for oral tests. Normal levels of life molecules in biological fluids presented in appendices are useful for quick reference independent of text. Preparation of reagents given at the end of experiments is useful for laboratory personnel engaged in practical classes.
This book is useful for first year M.B.B.S., B.D.S. and B.Sc. (Nursing) students. Students of B. Pharm, M.Sc. (Medical Sciences) and biomedical engineering would also find this book useful.
