Medical and Paramedical graduates aspiring for higher education planning to take PG ought to appear in entrance examinations. These entrance examinations are usually patterned in objective type. Biochemistry forms an integral part of curriculum of medical and paramedical courses. It is an important subject and deals with various Chemical, Biochemical, and Physiological reactions and processes that take place inside a living system. Quite a large number of MCQs appear in PG medical and paramedica.
MCQs (multiple choice questions) are well-established tools, widely used in assessment at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels of medical examinations. MCQs are used to measure understanding, judgement and problem solving abilities of medical students; they have been shown to be more reliable in testing knowledge than traditional essay questions. This book is a compilation of MCQs in Medical Biochemistry. The MCQs focus on all topics of Medical Biochemistry and are arranged chapter-wise. This book has over 1500 MCQs (and their correct answers) that are thought for and should help students in their self-evaluation. Dr. Ranjit Patil. Dr. Kavindra Borgaonkar
Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) are the backbone for all entrance examinations throughout the world. MCQs are used to evaluate student's cognitive acumen in all the fields and discipline. This book contains 28 chapters covering almost all of the biochemistry syllabus through 3500+ MCQs. Each MCQ is validated from the reference biochemistry books. The book is mainly designed for the undergraduate, postgraduate, MBBS medical biochemistry students of medical, pharmacy, physiotherapy, nursing, medical laboratory sciences and other allied courses. This book can also be useful for the PG entrance exam of various universities, NET examinations, USMLE entrance examinations, etc. It includes questions from all categories, i.e. from the simplest ones to real brain teasers, in order to cater the needs of the unprepared students who start studying at the eleventh hour, besides, of course, the committed ones who are well conversant with the subject. The book is based on the current pattern of exam, and will prove very useful for studying, practice and during precious moments before the exam for reference and revision. It is highly recommended to sharpen your problem solving skills with thorough practice of numerous questions provided in the book, and prepare to face the exam confidently and successfully.
Among the wide variety of written methods of assessment, multiple choice questions (MCQs), especially the single best option variety, remain the staple of examinations administered to medical students. MCQs are used extensively by medical schools and also in the initial steps of examinations by licensing bodies.Their logistical advantage of allowing testing of large number of students and broad sampling of topics in a relatively short time remains unchallenged by any other formats of written examinations. The format and wording of the stem of a MCQ, play an essential role in determining what is being assessed. In its simplest form a MCQ can ask about an isolated fact. Such a ‘context-free’ MCQ tests rote knowledge only. Higher order skills, such as interpretation and problem solving are best tested using a ‘context-rich’ stem, in which the question is embedded in a meaningful context. In medical subjects, context enrichment most often takes the form of a clinical vignette. The advantages of enriching the stem with a clinical vignette are two-fold. First, it allows for the assessment of higher order cognitive skills. Second, information is thought to be better recalled when the learning context is similar to retrieval context. In this book, MCQs are based on clinical vignettes. The clinical context will increase commitment of the student to acquire and retain basic knowledge of medical biochemistry.
**Selected for Doody's Core Titles® 2024 in Biochemistry** Human Biochemistry, Second Edition provides a comprehensive, pragmatic introduction to biochemistry as it relates to human development and disease. Here, Gerald Litwack, award-wining researcher and longtime teacher, discusses the biochemical aspects of organ systems and tissue, cells, proteins, enzymes, insulins and sugars, lipids, nucleic acids, amino acids, polypeptides, steroids, and vitamins and nutrition, among other topics. Fully updated to address recent advances, the new edition features fresh discussions on hypothalamic releasing hormones, DNA editing with CRISPR, new functions of cellular prions, plant-based diet and nutrition, and much more. Grounded in problem-driven learning, this new edition features clinical case studies, applications, chapter summaries, and review-based questions that translate basic biochemistry into clinical practice, thus empowering active clinicians, students and researchers. - Presents an update on a past edition winner of the 2018 Most Promising New Textbook (College) Award (Texty) from the Textbook and Academic Authors Association and the PROSE Award of the Association of American Publishers - Provides a fully updated resource on current research in human and medical biochemistry - Includes clinical case studies, applications, chapter summaries and review-based questions - Adopts a practice-based approach, reflecting the needs of both researchers and clinically oriented readers
"Microbiology covers the scope and sequence requirements for a single-semester microbiology course for non-majors. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health. The pedagogical features of the text make the material interesting and accessible while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. Microbiology's art program enhances students' understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs. Microbiology is produced through a collaborative publishing agreement between OpenStax and the American Society for Microbiology Press. The book aligns with the curriculum guidelines of the American Society for Microbiology."--BC Campus website.
