Biochemistry is now in its updated third edition! Based on the second edition of Biochemistry, a third edition has been streamlined to focus the fundamental principles of biochemistry and their implications in clinical medicine without overloading the students rather than memorizing dry facts and formulae. Certain topics have been revised and updated, the notable ones among them are: - Lipoprotein, - Structure-function relationship of proteins, - Diagnostic use of enzymes, - Protein targeting, - Acid-base balance and Tumour markers. *New tables and figures have been included. *A new chapter on The Immune System has been added. *A revised extensive index has been given. *New MCQs have been added. *Covers the fundamentals of biochemistry in a relevant, interesting manner. *Presents over 1000 interactive review practice questions comprising multiple choice questions (MCQs), short answer questions (SAQs), long answer questions (LAQs), short notes, clinical cases followed by a list of questions, which provide readers an excellent opportunity of self-test before the examination to ensure they understand and can use all the concepts introduced in the chapter. *Chapter outline allows students to preview the chapter content. *Chapter introduction and review of the contents set goals for understanding and re-emphasize essential concepts from each chapter. * Coloured clinical boxes highlight key concepts by direct application to real-world scenarios.

A total of 1150 participants from forty-two countries worldwide attended the above mentioned congress. The congress was organized to provide a wide-ranging scientific program of plenary lectures, symposia, and workshops to review the rapid development in the diverse fields of clinical biochemistry as presented by eminent invited speakers from around the world. A number of important poster presentations were displayed during the congress, showing future trends in clinical biochemistry. Tremendous progress has been made in clinical biochemistry over the past decade because of the application of new information and the development of new technologies. As a result, clinical biochemistsry now involves many disciplines ranging from basic to applied science, from research to practice and education, from technical methodology to clinical medicine, and from health care to diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Almost all the papers presented during the congress appear in this volume as full manuscripts, and it is hoped that this book will be a milestone in the development of clinical biochemistry internationally.
