Quick Overview
The rapid pace of progress in medicine is a motivation to update knowledge, gather new information and continue the process of learning. The purpose of this new second edition is to incorporate the latest scientific advances. More than 90% of physicians taking care of children with cardiac disorders are not cardiologists and hence must have the knowhow of interpreting and arriving at a clinical diagnosis and a fair knowledge of pharmacologic, interventional and surgical therapy. They obviously do not require much information on invasive and noninvasive cardiac testing, neither of which they are called on to perform. This makes the task of extracting essential and vital information from available large volume textbooks difficult and also impractical for the busy clinician. This book is aimed to cover important aspects of clinical pediatric cardiology as seen in office practice and sufficient enough to equip the primary care physicians and postgraduates to approach various cardiac disorders systematically.
Key Features
This book is written to address the practical needs of practicing pediatricians and postgraduate students. Conceptual framework and core information is provided in key areas in pediatric cardiology. The wole book is written in an easily understandable style. A number of experts from within India and selected authors from overseas have contributed individual chapters. Pediatric cardiology is a relatively new speciality and numerous advances happen in a relatively short period of time. The second edition has retained the basic structure of the first edition. The individual chapters have been revised to incorporate important advances that have occurred in the last 4 years. The second edition retains a strong clinical focus.
Target Audience
Practicing Pediatricians, Postgraduate Students, Primary Care Physicians.

Pediatric Gastroenterology in India has made giant strides in the last few decades. We have moved from Malnutrition, ICC and ORS to Obesity, metabolic liver diseases and liver transplantation. From a handful of trained personnel in few tertiary centers, we now have qualified specialists in almost all regions of India. Advanced laboratory support now enables diagnosis of uncommon gastrointestinal and liver diseases. The professional competence and technological capabilities available in India in our field are far ahead of any other developing country and even comparable to the West.

It is time this expertise translates into better medical care of all children in our country. Sharing of knowledge with practicing pediatrics and students is the only way this can be achieved. This book is a small step in that direction. This is the second edition of the book and almost all chapters have been revised and three chapters have been included. A number of experts have graciously contributed to this book and three new chapters have been included. A number of expers have graciously contributed to this book.

Quick Overview
Antimicrobial therapy is a dynamic subject; there is evolution in antimicrobial resistance as well as new drugs are approved and marketed. Several such sentinel events have occurred in the past 6 years. Remarkable is the increase in communityacquired methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections and the evolution and spread of carbapenemresistant gramnegative bacteria. To address these and other changes in antimicrobial treatment options and guidelines, it was considered necessary to bring out a revised edition.
Key Features
This book is a comprehensive attempt to discuss the latest antimicrobial therapy in children in the Indian setting. The book is divided into four sections. The first section deals with basics of microbiology and discusses detailed pharmacology of all available antimicrobial drugs. The edition includes details of recently introduced antimicrobials such as colistin, tigecycline, daptomycin and echinocandins. The second section focuses on use of antimicrobials in various clinical settings including respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, skin and soft tissue, bone and joint infections among others as well as tuberculosis, malaria and HIV. The third section discusses antimicrobial therapy in various case scenarios to sensitize the readers to the everincreasing problem of irrational antimicrobial therapy and consequent antimicrobial resistance. The fourth section is a ready reckoner for antimicrobial doses, preparations, side effects and drug interactions. All chapters have been written and revised by wellknown academicians and in effort has been made to include relevant latest information and guidelines.
Target Audience
Postgraduate Students and Practicing Pediatricians.

Quick Overview
The aim of this Textbook of Pediatric Radiology is to provide valid and vibrant information to practicing pediatricians at all levels especially who are dealing with level one care. It is an undeniable fact that pediatric radiology differs from adult radiology and many a time even many of the general radiologists and even few of the so called pediatric radiologist may find it difficult to interpret and may feel uncomfortable in arriving at a final diagnosis.
Key Features
This book is a unique source of information on conventional pediatric radiology. In this era where newer modalities of imaging like ultrasonogram, CT, MRI are gaining more importance, books focusing on clinical pediatric radiology are less, especially in developing countries such as India. Conventional radiology is not discussed in detail even in newer editions of wellaccepted textbooks. All systems including neonatalogy have been elaborated in a clinically oriented approach. There is also a chapter on rare and interesting case scenarios.

The value of this book is further enhanced as all the authors are pediatric veterans who are also the renowned teachers in various medical colleges in India. With the limited time available to the practitioners, the ability to quickly obtain updated information is an absolute necessity.
Target Audience
Undergraduate and Postgraduate Students, Practicing Pediatricians, Teaching Faculties.

Quick Overview
The subject ‘Dermatology’ has the image of an outpatient specialty with trivial fatality, among the medical fraternity. The term “dermatologic emergency” is often regarded as an oxymoron in the medical world. Dermatology does involve emergencies, despite the general impression that patients with dermatological illnesses never die and never get well, and the specialty is all about applying various colored lotions! Emergency medicine or critical care medicine is a wellestablished subspecialty of internal medicine. Of late the concept of ‘critical care in dermatology’ is gaining importance as the concept of ‘acute skin failure’ has been increasingly recognized and the need for ‘Dermatology Intensive Care Unit’ is felt. There can be serious, lifethreatening skin conditions or complication of diseases or therapy that require immediate intervention in critical care setup. It is necessary to acquire skills in ‘emergency dermatology’, where a dermatologist’s right decision and intervention can make an important difference between life and death. This book is an attempt to fill the gap and present all the necessary inputs for better management of critically ill patients due to dermatological illnesses. Hope this book will contribute to a better image of dermatology as a dynamic and innovative subject.
Key Features
• This book is the first one from India addressing the issue of emergencies in dermatology and the concept of 'Dermatology Intensive Care Unit'.

• There is a chapter dedicated to the learning of basic procedures in emergency management.

• There are chapters on use of dermatological drugs in special situations like pregnancy, hepatic failure and renal failure.

• Clinical pictures, flow charts, tables and diagrams are included in all the chapters for better comprehension.
Target Audience

Quick Overview
Dermatology is a visual field. Dermatological diseases express themselves on the skin with varied manifestations. It is likely that a single disease can present with different manifestations. It is also likely that different dermatological diseases can manifest with similar clinical presentations. Many systemic diseases also have cutaneous manifestations. Since all dermatological diseases and dermatological manifestations of systemic disease have a limited pattern of expression, overlapping features are inevitable. Hence, in a given situation on first instance, it may become difficult for undergraduates, postgraduates and residents to identify a clinical condition. Snapshots in Dermatology is an attempt to orient beginners to readily acquaint with common skin conditions. This book serves the purpose as a ready reckoner during ward rounds and outpatient clinics. Practicing dermatologists may also find it useful.
Key Features
Snapshots in Dermatology is a ready reference book aimed at practitioners, residents, and undergraduates. The presentation is precise and to the point with good photographic illustrations. It deserves a rightful place on the consultation tables and pocket of residents.
Target Audience
Practicing Dermatologists, Residents, and Undergraduates.

Quick Overview
The book is simpletoread, easytounderstand and remember. The book should complement the textbooks of dermatology, and should serve as an introduction to the difficult and complex topics of dermatology. This book bridges the gap between the East and the West and is written by two busy clinical dermatologists with a vast amount of experience of both cultures. The book also bridges the gap between the introductory texts and the much larger definitive textbooks in dermatology. The book starts with a perfectly sized resume of the history of dermatology, and then covers all of the main skin diseases and groups of diseases. Some of the chapters are arranged around common causes such as ultraviolet light and the cold, which is helpful as patients rarely come into the clinic with their diagnosis. The chapters are supplemented with helpful summary tables and superb clinical photographs, as well as uptodate treatment suggestions. The fact that two clinicians have written the entire book has helped its readability in terms of consistency and style.
Key Features
This book is written keeping two objectives in mind. The first objective is to make the subject of dermatology easy to understand; it should form a base to study the major textbooks of dermatology. The second objective is to discuss the diseases of the East and West in equal depth. Today, in an era of globalization, most outpatient clinics have patients from all over the globe. Having lived both in the East and the West, it has been found that the diseases of the tropical region often pose a problem to the trainee dermatologists in the West and viceversa. Diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, and parasites are discussed in equal depth, along with diseases common in the West such as inflammatory disorders and cutaneous malignancy.
Target Audience
Residents and Registrars of Dermatology, Physicians in Internal Medicine, General Practitioners Interested in Dermatology, All Doctors on Rotation in Dermatology.

Quick Overview
Over the years, pediatric dermatology has emerged as a vital field of medical practice, yet with paucity of sufficient printed teaching material. This book Clinical Pediatric Dermatology (CPD) is intended to serve three sections of physicians—pediatricians, dermatologists, and general practitioners. An introductory chapter on examination of a child with a dermatologic problem is included to highlight the need for an astute clinical examination which brings the physician closer to the correct diagnosis. We have reiterated this by using flow charts. Although basic in its early chapters, the CPD is definitely not elementary in the sense of ‘putting’ it to practice. To write an introductory text alone would leave many readers with only a taste of the conceptual elements but no guidance for venturing into genuine practical applications. Indeed, given the conceptual simplicity of this CPD’s approach, it is only hoped that the publication of this book will enhance the spread of ideas that are currently trickling through the scientific literature.
Key Features
• Essential comprehensive literature
• Chapters on history taking, clinical examination, and essential laboratory investigations
• Flow charts leading to differentials
• Comparative tables
• Color plates for each disease

Quick Overview
Nail is considered as a vestigial organ by some as it is a dead tissue, without realizing the varied functions it can subserve in human beings. It has evolved from the primitive role of grasping and clutching in lower animals to an organ of beautification in humans. Nail is also a mirror of internal diseases as it can depict several characteristic changes along with the skin. Examination of nail as a part of general cutaneous examination is imperative. Nail disorders may pose difficulties in diagnosis as they have limited ways of expression. Several conditions may present with similar nail changes and a single disease, for example, either psoriasis or lichen planus can present with several nail changes. Added to this, even the patients may not be concerned about the subtle changes that may be occurring in the nails, unless pointed out by the treating dermatologists or it is grossly deformed so as to cause embarrassment. Color photographs of clinical conditions, dermatoscopic images, line diagrams and other illustrations make this book easily readable and interesting. Hope this maiden venture would be adequately received by the dermatology community.
Key Features
Nail and its Disorders is the first treatise on this subject, with colourful illustrations of the pigmented skin. This book comprehensively covers the anatomy infections, inflammatory disorders and tumours of nail apparatus. This book intends to remove the hesitancy among dermatologists to diagnose and treat nail disorders.
Target Audience

Quick Overview
The study of fetal medicine encompasses individuals who believe this both instinctively and consciously and have devoted their careers to the study of the fetus and the treatment of fetal diseases. It is these individuals who have moved forward the knowledge about twintotwin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and our ability to treat this devastating disease. The story of medical efforts to tackle TTTS exemplifies how many important areas of medicine have begun to coalesce recently, including ethics, basic science discoveries, innovation in medical equipments, and clinical collaboration of investigators. Some of that story will be told throughout this book. I believe you will find that this story is compelling. Creative ideas in this book do not spring from my mind, but come from numerous individuals. The credit for the ideas that move us forward and save fetal lives goes to many. This book, and the advances in fetal medicine that have produced continually increasing survival and continually decreasing morbidity for fetuses suffering from TTTS over the last 30 years, is truly the result of a team effort.
