The fourth edition of this comprehensive review of anaesthesia provides trainees with the latest information and developments in the field. Divided into two sections, the first part of the book discusses diseases and disorders across 39 cases. The second section covers the complete range of anaesthesia equipment. The text has been fully revised and this edition includes new topics including cardiopulmonary exercise tests, management of acute postoperative pain, and video laryngoscope. The book is presented in an easy to follow question and answer format, with emphasis on topics often encountered in examinations. More than 250 photographs, illustrations and tables enhance learning.

We are very pleased to put forth the 'Laboratory Manual of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry I'. This manual is prepared as per PCI B. Pharm course regulations 2014 and is divided into four sections i.e detection of crude drugs with morphology, histology, powder characteristics; isolation and detection of phyto constituents; isolation of phyto constituents by chromatography techniques; analysis of crude drugs by chemical tests. The traditional as well as modern methods used for identification of crude drugs, isolation methods of phyto constituents and their detection of all the experiments are included in this manual. This manual is designed for 'outcome-based education' and each experiment is arranged in a uniform way such as practical significance, practical outcomes (PrOs) and its mapping with courseoutcomes, theory, resources used, procedure, precautions, observations, result, conclusion, references, and synopsis questions. Each experiment offers an opportunity to perform practical work, allowing students to gain proficiency in effectively managing equipment, handling glassware, chemicals and staining agents/ reagents, and writing conclusion. In addition, questions are provided at the end of the experiments to enhance students' knowledge, which will be beneficial for them as they pursue higher studies. During the laboratory period you will have to multitask, while you are doing experiment. It is essential to document properly what you do and what you observe while doing the practical. Always plan your work ahead and think about what you are doing, why you are doing it, what is happening and what you can conclude from your experiment. We acknowledge the help and co-operation extended by various persons in bringing out this manual. We are highly indebted to the authors of various books and articles mentioned in the reference which became a major source of information for writing this manual. We also thank the publishers, designers and printers who graciously worked hard to publish this manual in time. We hope that this manual will assist students in understanding concepts, principles, and performing procedures. We wish you all the best!
This book provides a concise overview of the Apocynaceae plant family, focusing on its morphology, diversity, ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, and biological activities. It explores biotechnological advances in large-scale production of therapeutic bioactive compounds and conservation efforts using plant tissue culture. The family Apocynaceae is one of the largest and important families in angiosperm, with several members having medicinal properties used to treat various ailments. Most of them are consumed as food by tribal people, while a few plants are used as a source of poison, insecticides, gum, and many other important products. Members of this family are rich in alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids, flavonoids, glycosides, simple phenols, lactones and hydrocarbons. Other compounds such as sterols, lignans, and sugars have also been systematically studied. Extracts and isolated compounds from Apocynaceae members exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activities. Notable plants like Holarrhena antidysenterica, Rauvolfia serpentina, Carissa carandas, and Tabernaemontana divaricata have been extensively researched. The family presents a diverse range of bioactive compounds with medicinal and pharmacological properties, holding promise for future applications. The book also covers endophytic microorganisms with their diversity, biological activities in Apocynaceae plants. It also highlights the role of endophytes in conservation of Apocynaceae plants. By identifying existing knowledge gaps, it aims to inspire further research in the field, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers in Life Sciences, agriculture, medicine, and pharmaceutical sciences.
Fully Updated Hydrology Principles, Methods, and Applications Thoroughly revised for the first time in 50 years, this industry-standard resource features chapter contributions from a “who’s who” of international hydrology experts. Compiled by a colleague of the late Dr. Chow, Chow’s Handbook of Applied Hydrology, Second Edition, covers scientific and engineering fundamentals and presents all-new methods, processes, and technologies. Complete details are provided for the full range of ecosystems and models. Advanced chapters look to the future of hydrology, including climate change impacts, extraterrestrial water, social hydrology, and water security.
