The book "Statistical Methods for Medical and Biological Students" by B. Gunnar Dahlberg, M.D., LLD, is a valuable resource for medical and biological students who need to analyze experimental data statistically. The author strikes a balance between the mathematical rigor of statistical science and the accessibility required for students. The book covers fundamental concepts such as probability, combination, and permutation, and demonstrates their application in medical contexts through examples. It also includes detailed numerical examples to illustrate the methods discussed. However, some statistical terms are introduced at an advanced level, and a few errors are noted in the first edition. The book could benefit from more recent statistical tests and additional sections on growth curves, life tables, and experimental design. Overall, it serves as a useful bridge between statistical theory and practical application for medical researchers.
"Medicines of Pharmaceutical Combinations and Specialities" by Dr. U. B. Narayanaa is a concise reference book that provides brief information on nearly 400 patent medicines, both indigenous and foreign. It includes chapters on therapeutic indices, hormone, and vitamin therapies, and lists manufacturers and substitutes for various drugs. While the book offers a good overview of the composition, doses, and indications of these specialities, it could be improved by providing more detailed information on the pharmaceutical aspects and relative values of different preparations. Despite this, it remains a useful reference for practitioners.
"Surgeon of Modern Warfare" edited by Hamilton Bailey, F.R.C.S., is a comprehensive resource for surgeons dealing with modern warfare injuries. The book covers a wide range of topics, including wounds of blood vessels and other critical areas. It is well-illustrated and provides detailed information on the management and treatment of these injuries. The book is a valuable addition to the literature on surgical techniques in combat environments.The book "Statistical Methods for Medical and Biological Students" by B.
