Clinical Genetics is one of the most rapidly advancing field in medicine and a basic understanding of human genetics is vital for all those caring for patients nowadays. Genetic make up of any individual can hamper reproduction and insight into this is necessary and hence genetic counseling and diagnosis is becoming increasingly important. This book on Reproductive Genetics form the Genetics and Fetal Medicine Committee, FOGSI, is a brainchild of our dynamic and Visionary FOGSI President Dr Hrishikesh Pai. The idea was conceived with the idea of helping the readers deal with clinical dilemmas faced by them in day to day practice and also make them aware of the recent advance in the rapidly evolving field of reproductive genetics. Although named Reproductive Genetics, this book also covers topics such as genetics of Hereditary cancers, thereby expanding its scope to include this important topic. The book will be a boon to the Obstetricians, Fetal Medicine specialists, Infertility specialists, Oncologists, Pediatricians, Geneticists and many more. Chapters such as Approach to intellectual Disability, Preconception Counseling and Approach to Hemoglobinopathies are just some among the large collection of carefully articulated and intellectually stimulating articles. Moreover, the book also covers some of the latest advancements in the field of reproductive Genetics in chapters such as AI in Reproductive Genetics and Gene therapy: The future of Medicine.

Basic Science in Obstertrics and Gynaecology 5th/Ed. – The Textbook for MRCOG – Part I
Training the next generation of obstetricians and gynecologists requires the provision of a strong foundation in the understanding of the basic science that underpins clinical practice. The MRCOG Part 1 examination has evolved to assess active participation of trainees in acquiring this fundamental scientific knowledge. The updated 2019 MRCOG syllabus and core curriculum acts as Scientific Platform for Clinical Practice, examining 15 core knowledge areas in four domains of understanding: Cell Function, Human Structure, Measurement and Manipulation and Understating Illness. Assessment has also been reformed to the format of single best answer (SBA) questions. This New edition has been updated with these adaptations to the MRCOG Part 1 examination in mind. We have brought in new editors and several new authors to update chapters. We have introduced a new chapter with self-assessment questions and answers, to reflect the revised examination format. We include 11 SBA questions per book chapter (17 for the anatomy chapter), and there mock exam papers. Included in this edition is a digital format to the book, to provide more flexibility in learning technique. We are grateful to the previous authors whose work formed the foundation of the current edition.

Current Progress In Nephrology Volume 3
In the third volume of Current Progress in Nephrology, recent advances in different areas of kidney disease have been authored by eminent clinicians. The first few chapters discuss the genetics of renal development, regenerative medicine in relation to kidney, molecular diagnostics. Newer diagnostic modalities like functional magnetic resonance imaging, point of care ultrasonography and electron microscopy of organised deposits in kidney diseases are discussed in the subsequent 3 chapters. Diagnosing and managing difficult conditions of chronic kidney disease like, hepatorenal syndrome, pregnancy related renal problems, and scleroderma crisis are discussed in appropriate chapters. Anaemia, usually associated with CKD, is a significant cause of left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiovascular disease. The guidelines for correcting anaemia with iron supplementation and erythropoietin stimulating agents are provided in an appropriate chapter. Autosomal dominant rubulointerstitial kidney disease, a frequent cause of progressive CKD often remains an underdiagnosed condition and has been highlighted in one nice review. Understanding another a rare condition, thrombotic miocroangiopathy is important since it may lead to endstage renal disease or death, if not identified and appropriately treated in time.

Grand Rounds in Nephrology
Thirty-six different case scenarios including clinical nephrology, dialysis and kidney transplantation have been discussed in this volume. Each case scenario is followed by a focussed discussion on a selected aspect in a question answer format. For this issue, eminent nephrologists from all over India have contributed and shared their vast knowledge and experience. This book will be useful to the residents in Nephrology who are preparing to take the examination as well as clinical nephrologists to revise and update their knowledge and skills. Training and ability to present the available data clearly and answering questions with reasonable self-assurance is important when taking a clinical examination or viva-voce. The cases selected are broad based, covering kidney diseases in children, glomerular diseases, non-glomerular kidney diseases, genetic disorders, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, electrolyte abnormalities, dialysis and transplant related clinical scenarios.
