Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Parasitology and Internal Medicine

Chapters 1 and 4 of this book are on Pharmacology and Therapeutics. While Chapter 1 is devoted to the Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs), Chapter 4 contains the Answers and Notes for the MCQs. Chapter 1 has multiple-choice questions on the following twenty-three drug classes and specific drugs: Anthelminthics, Antiprotozoals, Scabicides, Pediculicides, Anti-trypanosome drugs, Benzodiazepines, Antipsychotics, Antidepressants, Anti-seizure medications, Cardiac medications, Antihypertensives, Bronchodilators, Nasal decongestants, Acetylsalicylic acid, Acetaminophen, Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Narcotic analgesics, Antacids, Histamine-H2 receptor blocking agents, Laxatives, Antidiarrheal medications, Topical dermatological agents, and Antibiotics. 

Chapter 2 and Chapter 5 of this book are designed to give the reader a lucid idea of the most common parasitic diseases globally and the parasitic agents that cause them. The chapter is important because although parasitic diseases are global, their distribution around the world is not uniform; another reason for its importance is that these diseases are frequently communicable. Some parasitic diseases also tend to mimic other diseases that are caused by bacteria and viruses. The third reason is that in these days of frequent traveling, some parasitic diseases that are prevalent in one part of the world can easily be found in another part of the world where such diseases were hitherto uncommon. It is important for a doctor to know about them (and even become familiar with their presentation) right from medical school years. 

Chapters 3 and 6 are on selected topics in Internal medicine. These essential topics come under bacterial infections, viral infections, cardio-respiratory diseases, neurological conditions, gastrointestinal diseases, hematological conditions, genetic disorders, renal diseases, thyroid and pituitary diseases, alcohol-related illnesses, snake bites, and diabetes mellitus.
