Impressed with The Concept of the book. Deals the basics as well as the minute details Practical Problems are mentioned clearly The treatment of complications during a radiological procedures are given clearly Good Quality of Pictures State of the art Paper and Printing Areas for Improvement Spelling mistakes (though they are of little concern)
Review This text book which deals with the various radiological procedures is something which most of us had needed at one time or another in our wards, but had to resort to bulky volumes and search in the departmental library as to the indication and contraindication of a particular procedure for the condition under investigation. More over we are used to questions like “Can I Eat”, “Can I travel” etc from patients after few procedures that leaves us in an awkward state. Awkward because none of the standard texts tell anything about the after care. But this book scores over most other books in this area.
Even though there are lot of books that mention the indications and contraindication, and there are few more which tell us about the patient preparation, this is probably one book at the rate of Just Rs 295, that gives us in detail the patient preparation and After care for all Radiological investigations that one can come across in a Clinical Setup
All the persons who went through the text were impressed as to the clarity with which the facts are presented.
The paper quality and the printing are of such standards that unless one sees the publishers name, one can be pardoned for assuming that he is reading a book printed in UK / US,
The book is divided into 27 chapters
The initial chapters deal with introduction to radiology and justifies that the “classical” contrast methods do have a place even after the advent of computerised imaging methods and the choice of the investigation should be decided for each individual condition and should be patient specific
Radiation Protection is covered eloquently and the ways to reduce the radiation as well as the individual responsibilities of the personnel associated like the referring clinician, radiologist, technician, the paramedical staff and the patient are chartered out. The chapter on Contrast media answers all the MCQs asked from this topic in various Post Graduate Entrance Exams
Then the investigations pertaining the individual systems are outlined. Investigation of all the systems are given. All the investigations are covered in detail, Investigation of Joints and Breast (Mammography and others) are given better than most other books
All the reviewers were overwhelmed by the chapter on Paediatric Radiology. It is a must read for every paediatrician and Other clinicians who order investigations for kids
We read the actual procedure of the Thallium Technetium scan which is so often asked in most exams in this book for the first time and also investigation of Lacrimal System and Sinography and Fistulography make interesting reading
The book also deals with Ultrasonogram (USG), Computed Tomography (ST Scan) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Nuclear Medicine
Interventional Radiology and Radiology in Emergency are the other topics that find their due here
Highlights This book is a must for any postgraduate. Tricks and Tips which may be gained after years of exposure in that particular field (after mistakes and errors in judgements) can be gleaned in few days when one reads this.
For example, it is better to take PA view of skull instead of AP View in case of children. Reason..... In PA View less amount of Radiation reaches the lens of the eyeball which is anterior and so the lens is protected

Kalava's Textbook of Orthopaedics |
Title Kalava's Textbook of Orthopaedics

Author S.Kalava
Publisher PARAS PUBLISHING
ISBN 81-8191-026-5
Price Rs 325
Type of Book Textbook
Exams covered All Exams
Subjects covered Orthopaedics
Intended for MBBS Students PG Aspirants Ortho PGs (and teachers) Can be Used for MBBS - Final Year, PG Entrance Exams, Orthopaedics Post Graduate Exam Part I
Impressed with Alternate names and Eponyms of the Conditions are given Learning Objective of each chapter is given Plain Line and color diagrams that help in understanding Clinical Signs are enumerated Surgical Procedures are dealt with Areas for Improvement Images of X Rays are (like other Indian Ortho text books) not up to the mark
Review Orthopaedics, for a long time was a “neglected” subject as far as authors and publishers were concerned. There were very few textbooks for an undergraduate student even a decade ago. The books gave too little or too much with the result that the students were forced to depend upon the notes. But, fortunately the situation has changed in the last decade with new excellent books by Indian Authors like Natarajan, Maheswari and Ebnezer.
Kalava’s textbook of Orthopaedics, published by PARAS PUBLISHING is a vibrant book that hangs on to the delicate balance of giving enough points to make the student answer a five mark question , as well as giving the nuances to score in a Multiple Choice Question. And what is more note worthy is that the book deals with the fundamentals of the subject so well.
This book is probably the best book in Indian market for MBBS Students and Postgraduates in Orthopaedics who have to write a theory paper in Orthopaedics. Most of the topics are given in a crisp and succinct way. The topics are supplemented with the various clinical signs and surgeries associated with the condition.
Emphasis is laid on the pathogenesis in case of Cold Ortho and biomechanics in case of Traumatology. Principles of therapy is elaborated with the procedures making this an ideal text for General Practitioners or those from allied branches like physiotherapy or Nursing.
A common problem faced by Students in Theory Examination is the alternate name confusions. Many a times we have seen and heard students not attempting or wrongly attempting a question in the exam because the questions paper had the alternate name (eponym or such things) and the student is trapped inspite of knowing the particular condition. I have personally known my friends write pages about TB Spine during my Undergraduate days when the Question paper had Pott’s Fracture. Needless to say only those who wrote about Ankle Injuries would have scored. This book alleviates this problem as all commonly (and rarely !!) used names for a specific condition are given For Example 1. Cerebral Palsy, Spastic Paresis, Little’s Disease 2. Perthe’s Disease, Coxa Plana, Leg-Calve-Perthe’s Disease, Pseudocoxalgia
Another area where this book scores over other similar books is by the chapters on Bone Graft (from Campbell) , Bone Scan (and other investigations).
Orthotics, Instruments, and Traction, splints are covered in detail like other books
The book is divided into 5 sections, anmely 1. Introduction 2. Traumatology 3. General Orthopaedics 4. Regional Orthopaedics 5. Special Topics
Highlights Few conditions (like Rickets) which are not given enough attention in other Undergraduate text books is covered in an elaborate detail.

Review Forensic Medicine comprises about 8 to 10 % of the questions asked in any PG Medical Entrance Exams and if there are 10 questions in a paper, 8 will be the questions that have been already asked and are from the topics that are favoured by the question setters.
The best way to attempt all the questions asked is to ready the text books of Forensic Medicine (Reddy, Apurva Nandy or Parikh) from cover to cover and that will consume a months time of your preparation. But there is an alternative. If you can prepare the topics which are likely to be asked, you can complete your preparation in few days and yet can score considerable marks because of the peculiar distribution of the questions in this subject
Review of Forensic Medicine, authored by Dr.Sumit Seth and published by Peepee brothers and Publishers is an good option to those want to devote little time to this subject, yet get maximum benefit from it
The book is divided into 14 chapters, each dealing with Identification Thanatology Injuries Violent Asphyxial Death Sexual Offences Infanticide Thermal Injuries Forensic Psychiatry Starvation Blood Stains Impotence, Sterility and MTP Toxicology Court Procedures Medical Jurisprudence Each chapter gives the key points and is followed by the MCQs from it
Highlights The book can be completed in a short time, yet is packed with information. Mnemonics given in the chapter of Medical Jurisprudence are good

Price Rs 100 (Rs 80 after Discount)
Type of Book Rapid Notes
Exams covered All Exams
Subjects covered Radiology
Intended for PG Entrance, AIIMS and All India PG Entrance, State PGs and all PGs
Can be Used for PG Entrance, AIIMS and All India PG Entrance, State PGs and all PGs
Impressed with The concept of the book Extensive Coverage Most of the Questions can be attended Concept Based instead of the Facts Based Approach of other similar books Radiological Quiz The Review MCQs Improved Typesetting (compared with first edition)
Areas for Improvement Few (small, yet significant) points from the first edition are not striking the reader in this edition (compared to the earlier edition.) Examples are in the Review Section below Language and Grammar - have been improved a lot, yet there is scope for improvement. More tables and liberal use of innovations like text boxes can make the book more pleasant
Review Review of Radiology 1st Edition written by Sumer K Sethi and published by Peepee Publishers created ripples in the domain of the PG Preparation world (consisting of “Entranceemployees” – a term coined by Zulfi and Raj - or “PseudoPGs”).
The book stood apart for the concise size, the very low price (thanks to the publisher), Extensive Coverage of the subject in such a small book and the fact that most if not all the Questions can be attended from this book. Another aspect that made this book class apart from the other books was the fact that this was the concept based instead of the facts based approach of other similar books
But something that also struck the student immediately was the fact that the style of writing, grammar and language had to be improved and the book was either written in some other language and then translated verbatim or the typesetting unit got the notes the author had jotted down and had duly formatted that.
But the author and the publisher seems to have worked consciously and specifically on this aspect to weed off almost all the negative aspects of the first edition, while still maintaining and improving the positive aspects of the first edition, the result of which, you see an excellent work of knowledge, innovation and hard work on your reading table.
The improved typesetting makes it a pleasing reading. And the author has strived to explain the facts in this second edition. For example in the first edition in the section dealing with Fluoroscopy we had a line “Conventional – Ag – activated ZnCdS”. Now it is given in a much more legible form of “Conventional Fluoroscopy – material used in Ag activated ZnCdS (silver activated Zinc Cadmium Sulfide)”
Notable additions include
The protocol to be followed for a case of normal ventilation with defect in perfusion will find its utility when a question on clinical scenario is asked The picture showing the site of origin of various bone tumours Couinaud’s nomenclature of hepatic segmentations Ear Cartilage Calcification Parasitic Calcification Magic Angle effect – signal artifact seen within tendons oriented at 55 degree to the magnetic field. This is seen on T1 weighted image and not T2 weighted image 15 more review questions have been added (to the 400 questions in the first edition) making it 415 in all
Much Impressive is the Radiological Quiz Given on the end having some 30 images (printed in art paper, thus improving the quality of the images considerably). What is more noteworthy is the fact that the answers for this quiz are not given in a single word at the end. Instead the author has explained (briefly) each answer and more notably given the page number of the book where the corresponding topic is discussed
However, few (small, yet significant) points from the first edition are not striking the reader in this edition (compared to the earlier edition.) Examples include
Henri Becqueral discovered Radioactivity (this was discussed along with Roentgen’s discovery of X Rays in the first edition) Functional Imaging with MRI using the various contrasts (this was discussed along with MRI in the first edition) Best investigation for breast implant evaluation is MRI. This was discussed along with Mammography in the first edition, where as this is now given along with other breast conditions. It would do no harm when such a significant fact is stressed in more than one places when relevant) The schematic diagrams showing Right Atrial, Left Atrial and Right Ventricular enlargement
The following is the review given by this web site for the first edition of this book, also can be seen at Review of Radiology 1st Edition
Radiology accounts for about 2 to 3 percent questions in any Post Graduate Medical Entrance Exams. This amount to 6 to 9 questions in All India Exam and 4 to 6 questions in AIIMS and so on
The uniqueness of these Questions is that they are often straightforward and consume very little time as the question is hardly a lengthy one and the choices are usually crisp
The students for long were having no book for these questions. We were able to read Psychiatry from Ahuja, Anesthesia from Pharmacology books and Dermatology from Harrison / Davidson, but Radiology had always eluded us during the preparation period until the advent of Books like SARP, PARAS and Sure Sucess in PG by Ram gopal. Though these books touched the hitherto unexplored areas of the medical knowledge, the very fact that those book catered to all the four subjects made them in adequate for Radiology.
Gone are the days when you were asked about the Water Lily Sign or Flower vase appearence. Now a days questions are more specific and are more often than not from the Radiology text books as well. When a Doctor is not able to allocate even a week for Radiology in his Time table for preparation, he obviously cannot read the "Big Books" like Sutton etc.
“Review of Radiology” by Sumer K Sethi and published by Peepee brothers is a book that could well fill in the lacuna that exists in this area. The book written by a Senior Resident in Radiology in LHMC, who was once the topper in AIPG 2000, AIIMS 2000 and PGI 2000 and earlier was in the top 5 in CBSE PMT and DPMT Exams offers interesting reading
The success of the author lies in the fact that he has been able to give SO MUCH OF THE "NEEDED" POINTS in so few pages. This is possible because the author had once been a candidate in the Entrance Exam race itself
Most of the points that are given in the book have been already asked and more importantly almost all questions that have been previously asked can be solved with this little book. To check this the team decided to check this book with 2 question papers, All India PG 2004 (AIPG 2004 conducted on 11th January 2004) representing AIIMS Pattern and the memory recollected Tamil Nadu PG 2004 (TNPG 2004 / TN PG 2004 / Tamil Nadu PG 2004 conducted on February 29th 2004) Question Paper representing the State Model of Questions

Answers for ALL THE QUESTIONS in Tamil Nadu PG and 6 out of 8 Questions is AIPG 2004 are given explicitly can be found in this small book. You can answer one more question from the points given
The next litmus test was to know whether one can answer the “mirage questions”. Mirage Questions are those few questions asked in a PG Entrance Exam that are not found in the usual text books and the aspirants will be searching one book after another after the Exam is over and the answer will elude them. One reviewer wanted to know about H shaped Vertebrae. We could see that it is seen in Sickle cell Anemia Another reviewer wanted to know whether the answer for Bracket Calcification can be found in the book. He had once faced the question in JIPMER 2002 and could not find the answer in "ordinary" books and when he saw Lipoma of Corpus Callosum in this book, he was much impressed. Rummaging around the pages we found that Golden S Sign seen in Right Upper Lobe Collapse (the recent exams ask the specific lobe)
Well Done Dr.Sumer K Sethi !!! This book is bound to be one of the classics of PG Preparatory books if the author changes the style of the text which now appears truncated and chewed upon to be more flowing and vibrant and the Publishers could concentrate a little on the Typesetting
Highlights As one of the reviewers remarked “This book can be read at the cost and time of two movies” and to answer 100 % in State PG and about 90 % (87.5 % to me more accurate) in All India (where you are expected to answer 66 % correctly to get into the top 100 ranks) from such a small book is commendable and the author needs to be appreciated
