, Preface to Second Edition
The widespread popularity of the first edition, both with students
and teachers, has prompted me to bring out this Second Edition. I do
hope this edition proves equally useful and is received with the same
fervour.
Since the first edition was published in 1995, there have been further
spectacular advances in our understanding of the molecular
mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of disease processes. This
accelerating pace of knowledge necessitated revision and updating
of the book. The second edition has been extensively revised and
most chapters are completely rewritten. As such, it contains the latest
information on molecular pathology. The changes in particular include:
• An effort has been made to incorporate the most recent
information on the molecular mechanisms of disease processes.
• For an easy grasp of the complicated molecular mechanisms, a
large number of illustrations have been added, 79 in all, in the
form of flow charts, line diagrams, and diagrammatic
representations of pathological processes.
• Keeping in view the Veterinary Council of India (VCI)' s syllabus,
a new chapter on 'Concretions' (Chapter 12) has been added.
• Also, in view of the VCI syllabus, a new sub-topic I Avian
Inflammation' has been added in the chapter on 'Inflammation'
(Chapter 4).
• The main points are given in bold type.
• In the Index, where there are more page numbers for the same
topic, the number that covers the main discussion is shown in
bold.
As the book deals with basic pathology, it will be very useful for
medical and dental students.
I am grateful to Mr. Suneel Gomber, Manager, International Book
Distributing Co., Lucknow, for the publication of this book. I extend
my sincere thanks to Dr. Madhu Swamy for going through the
typescript. Dr. Priti Mishra checked the index, while Mr. Anand
Parmar and Mr. Vijay Parmar of Jabalpur Graphics were most generous
in extending help relating to computer and other work. I am thankful
to them all. I am especially grateful to my wife Nita and eldest brother
Amrit Lal Vegad for the moral support and for their faith in me and
my task.
