Description

This book of “Recent Advances in Pediatrics” with a multidisciplinary approach in a holistic and easy-to-grasp manner, provides an academic feast that contributes to the goal of translating advances in the field from bench side to bedside, nay to the community at large, and the eventual beneficiary. Each and every chapter is remarkable by its excellence, providing a stimulating and, not infrequently, even provocative, matured and informed update. Understandably, such an approach is befitting when the goal is not only to inform but also to motivate discussion, interaction, research and innovation. In keeping with the professed policy of the series, multidisciplinary approach with an eye on future, continues to occupy pride of place in this book too. The research technologies, discussion of new drug therapy interventions, and preventive strategies most likely to benefit the health care of infants, children, and adolescents will remain the scope of this column. The chapters review the depth and breadth of knowledge in contemporary issues in pediatrics with special reference to the Indian subcontinent. The contents are stimulating, mature and, at places, provocative for encouraging further discussion, research and innovation.
