Preface to Sixth Edition
Encouragement and positive feedback from the students has inspired me for a sixth edition of this book.
Every year, the pattern of university questions is changing, thus necessitating a modification in the mode of their answers. Therefore, in this edition I have incorporated questions from different universities of Odisha and outside Odisha. As a result, the students can have a broad idea about different patterns of questions which will help them in curricular preparation and guide them in facing the examinations with confidence.
Besides retaining the previous sections, four new sections have been added in this edition containing multiple choice questions (MCQs), problem oriented case studies, very short questions with answer and Biochemistry course curriculum of different Universities. MCQs will definitely be useful to the students appearing for PG entrance examinations later. Problems relating to biochemical case studies have recently been introduced in question papers of many medical universities and in this context, these will be of immense help to the students for diagnostic analysis. In this new edition very recent questions have been incorporated, some short questions with answers and new case histories are added. Guidelines of Medical Council of India (MCI) for Biochemistry course curriculum is appended, so the students will be aware about the must know and desirable to know areas in the subject. Though separate chapters have been earmarked for Paper I & Paper II in the courses of study of different universities, sometimes the question setters do not strictly adhere to the instructions laid down in it, while setting questions. Although it happens occasionally the students have to bear this anomaly as there is no remedy for it.
Lastly, I gladly invite comments and suggestions from both teachers and students to bring improvement in the subsequent issues.
