This book consists of 23 chapters and is organized into two sections namely general pathology and systemic pathology. Section 1—General Pathology: It provides an overview of the basic pathologic mechanisms underlying diseases including cellular adaptations, inflammation, tissue repair, chronic inflammation, hemodynamic disorders, immunological disorders, neoplasia and genetics. Section 2—Systemic Pathology: It deals with chapters devoted to diseases and disorders of various organ systems including vascular, cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, liver and biliary tract, pancreas, kidney, male and female genital tract, bones, endocrines, skin and central nervous system. For hematology section, readers are requested to refer to Rapid Review of Hematology authored by Dr Ramadas Nayak and Dr Sharada Rai and Essentials in Hematology and Clinical Pathology by Dr Ramadas Nayak, Dr Sharada Rai and Dr Astha Gupta. After many years (more than 34 years) of teaching undergraduates, I found that undergraduate students find it difficult to understand, remember and answer the questions during examinations, in a satisfying way. There are many pathology textbooks, but undergraduates face difficulty to refresh their knowledge during examinations. This encouraged me to write a book to fill the niche, to provide basic information to an undergraduate in a nutshell. The text provides all the basic information the student will ever need to know. Key words are shown in bold words so that student can rapidly go through the book on the previous day or just before the examination. Most students are fundamentally “visually oriented.” As the saying “one picture is worth a thousand words”, it encouraged me to provide many illustrations. ISBN - 9789351524267
