Essential Biochemistry for Medicine - 2010 Edition

This text addresses the growing need for a new kind of textbook for
medical and biomedical undergraduates that presents a fully integrated
approach to biochemistry and medicine, rather than covering biochemistry
on a topic by topic basis with a smattering of ‘medical cases’ to
demonstrate relevance. The majority of pre-clinical medical students do
not need a detailed biochemistry text book, but rather “biochemistry as a
basis” or as an “add-on”. The major challenge for them is to integrate
biochemical knowledge, to clinical application in the understanding of
the etiology of diseases, their diagnosis and treatment.
Essential Biochemistry for Medicine is not intended to be an
exhaustive, comprehensive reference; rather a concise, accessible guide
that will help first year students, from a wide spectrum of backgrounds,
gain a good basic understanding of the biochemistry behind common
medical disorders. It integrates biochemistry with clinical applications
and the understanding of the etiology of diseases, their diagnosis and
treatment. Each chapter includes a concise and simple introduction to
the relevant biochemistry and terminology to reinforce what biomedical
students have covered, orientate them and encourage them to consider the
medical context; whilst at the same time outlining the biochemistry in a
simple, “must know” format, for medical students before directing them to the all important clinical considerations.
Key Features:
* A fully integrated approach to give students a basic understanding of the biochemistry behind common medical disorders
* Concise, accessible and well-written with numerous clear illustrations in full colour throughout
* Uses ‘FOCUS’ sections to expand on certain areas such as diabetes, HIV and obesity
* Includes links and quick references for those wanting a broader knowledge of each topic
