Lieberman, M: Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry

Connect biochemistry to clinical practice!Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry links biochemistry to physiology and pathophysiology, allowing students to apply fundamental concepts to the practice of medicine - from diagnosing patients to recommending effective treatments. Intuitively organized chapters center on hypothetical patient vignettes, highlighting the material's clinical applications; helpful icons allow for smooth navigation, making complex concepts easier to grasp.   *Full-color illustrations make chemical structures and biochemical pathways easy to visualize. *Patient vignettes connect biochemistry to human health and disease. *Clinical Notes explain patient signs or symptoms, and Method Notes relate biochemistry to the laboratory tests ordered during diagnosis. *Clinical Comments link biochemical dynamics to treatment options and patient outcomes. *Biochemical Comments explore directions for new research. *Key Concepts and Summary Disease tables highlight the take-home messages in each chapter. *Questions and answers at the end of each chapter - 470 total inside the book, with 560 more online - probe students' mastery of key concepts. *Additional handy resources available online make it easy to review all diseases and all methods covered throughout the book and to find references for further information and study
