Short and Long Cases of Medicine

This book “Short and Long Cases of Medicine” 4th edition is brought out after a long gap of 8 years. The book is unique in the sense that it blends the bed-side clinical methods as well as the theoretical aspects. Common topics are selected which are usually kept in practical examination of MBBS final medicine. It will also help for viva-voce purpose for exam going candidates. In this edition chapters have been enlarged to make cases more clear to the students and 7 new chapters are included namely Bronchiactasis; COPD (Long); Pericardial Effusion; Hypertension with CCF (Long); Haemetemesis – Diagnosis and Management (Long); Amoebic absess of liver; Mediastinal Syndrome is added. I am sure the book will be useful to students at bed-side while seeing and examining patients. I am also thankful to Virender Kumar Arya and his team at AITBS Publishers India, for untiring efforts in direction of bringing out this book on time.

The author will welcome any suggestions and comments from teacher and student which will be gratefully acknowledged.
