Adolescent Practice
A Parthasarathy,
Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd.,
New Delhi: 2015.
Pages: 927; Price: Rs. 1295/-.
|
The book comprising of 30 chapters comprises of more
than 600 frequently asked questions starting from newborn period,
childhood and adolescents, encompassing all the systems. The galaxy of
about 60 authors who are experts in various fields have made significant
contributions, and with their rich clinical experience added clarity
along with brevity to the subject matters. It is worth mentioning that
some of the sections like Immunization, Gastroenterology and Hepatology,
Hematology, Poisonings, Adolescent health and Dermatology have been very
well covered. Some of the sections have appropriate tables and
photographs. Even though the book appears voluminous, certain important
sections have been inadequately covered. The book could have afforded to
have more tables, algorithms and illustrative figures and photographs.
This book can be a supplement for all health care providers, especially
the practicing physicians with an interest in Pediatric practice and
also for the students and residents.
