Based on the Second Edition of Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry: A Clinical Approach, Marks' Essentials of Medical Biochemistry has been streamlined to focus on only the most essential biochemical concepts important to medical students. The authors present facts and pathways to emphasize how the underlying biochemistry is related to the body's overall physiological functions. This text presents patients to the students as the biochemistry is being discussed, which strengthens the link between biochemistry and medicine and allows the student to learn about this interaction as the biochemistry is presented. Each chapter includes clinical and biochemical notes and comments, questions and answers to encourage further thinking, and suggested references for those who would like to pursue a particular topic in more depth.

Essentials of Medical Biochemistry, Third Edition offers a condensed, yet detailed overview of clinical biochemistry, spanning fundamentals and relevant physiologic and pathophysiologic concepts. Pivotal clinical case studies aid in understanding basic science in the context of diagnosis and treatment of human diseases, and the text illuminates key topics in molecular immunology and hemostasis. Users will find fundamental concepts aiding students and professionals in biochemistry, medicine, and other healthcare disciplines. The text is a useful refresher that will help users meet USMLE and other professional licensing examination requirements, providing thorough introductions, key points, multicolored illustrations of chemical structures and figures, fact-filled tables, and recommended reading lists. This Third Edition has been fully updated to address evolving techniques in the biological sciences, including genomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, and gene therapy, among other methods. In addition, each chapter has been fully revised for current science and now features learning objectives and chapter summaries, supplemental reading, and 5 clinical case based multiple choice questions. New clinical cases have been added throughout. - Integrates the biochemical principles with physiological, pharmacological, and pathological aspects of human diseases - Each chapter features learning objectives, summaries, required and supplemental reading lists, clinical cases, and multiple-choice questions - Presents essential biochemical concepts within the context of their biological functions Offers instructional overview figures, flowcharts, tables and multi-colored illustrations - Provides an online ancillary package with PowerPoint images and an additional 500 study questions to aid in comprehension and USMLE exam preparation

The third edition of the book is thoroughly updated and presented in a new two-colour format. The book presents a detailed and authoritative exposition of the basic principles and applications of biochemistry. It focuses primarily on clarity of the fundamental concepts and explains them according to the need of undergraduate medical students. The organization of content in this book is such that it provides the reader with a logical sequence of events that aids learning. - More emphasis in this edition is to systemize presentation and make reading soothing and pleasurable by deleting redundant details, adding new text and figures, improvement of earlier figures, supplementing text with easy to comprehend flowcharts, without changing basic framework of the book. - Each chapter ends with clinical cases and the related questions, which evokes yet another method of active learning rather than didactic methods of imparting knowledge. - Key points have been highlighted and boxed at the end of each topic for quick revision of the core concepts. - This book comes with a free companion website which contains self-assessment exercises, detailed case discussions related to the clinical cases given inside the book, glossary and various other features for enhanced learning.

- Extensively revised and updated all chapters, in line with recommendations of CBME and subject requirement. - Important points have been threaded throughout the text in yellow boxes, reemphasizing the core concepts. - Selected advanced learning concepts are highlighted in blue boxes or enclosed in numbered boxes for postgraduate students and inquisitive undergraduates. - Nearly all figures have been modified or redrawn to make reading soothing for better retention. - Inclusion of new questions at the end of book for self-assessment of the topics studied. - Clinical cases along with case discussions - important pillar of the CBME are presented for problem-based learning and knowledge.

The book presents a detailed and authoritative exposition of the basic principles and applications of biochemistry. It thouroughly covers the syllabus recommended by MCI for undergraduate medical students. It focuses primarily on the fundamental concepts and explain them in detail. Numerous line diagrams, in an attractive two-colour format, are provided to illustrate the concepts and help the students in grasping their significance. Medical applications of biochemistry are discussed through extended examples and clinical cases. About the Author : - Dinesh Puri, Professor, Dept. of Biochemistry, University College of Medical Sciences and Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Delhi.

- Core competencies prescribed by the MCI are covered and competency codes are included in the text
