OverviewEssentials of Medical Biochemistry, Second Edition: With Clinical Cases is the most condensed, yet detailed biochemistry overview available on the topic. It presents contemporary coverage of the fundamentals of biochemistry, emphasizing relevant physiologic and pathophysiologic biochemical 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 basic and fundamental concepts that will aid 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.

The book covers basic, traditional biochemical topics as well as recently developments driven by genomics that caught the interests of everyone, including biochemist and health care personnels and future doctors. Adopting such a concise textbook that covers the many aspects of biochemistry and their relevantness to diseases would prepare our pre-med students with a broad understanding of the mechanisms of a large number of health problems. The book would also be a very useful starting point for those who are experts in other field of basic research but have an interest or need to relate basic biochemical processes to and disease mechanisms in a broad range...This book is very concise on most of the topics it covers. It describes the principles to the point the students need without lengthy elaborations that takes too much time that students often find hard to find due to heavy study load. Accompanied by case studies, this is a very good book for medical orientated students. -Dr. Yuzhu Zhang Department of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics Illinios Institute of Technology The writing style is in general easy to read and the topics that I have reviewed seemed to be explained well. -Dr. William E. Seifert Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Purdue University We adopted the Bhagavan text because it is the most comprehensive and authoritative text on the market and is suitable for our students who have already had at least one semester of biochemistry prior to acceptance in medical school...The chapters on genomics and hematology are handled better by Bhagavan than in other books that I'm familiar with. It was probably this coverage in Bhagavan that made it our choice. The hematology section is better than that in most full hematology books. -Dr. Eugene Allanson Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Georgetown University Medical Center Author InformationChung-Eun Ha is an Associate Professor in the department of Native Hawaiian Healthat the John A.
