As such, it contains the latest information on molecular pathology. The changes in particular include: Incorporation of the most recent information on the molecular mechanisms of disease processes. Inclusion of a large number of illustrations, 79 in all, for an easy grasp of the complicated molecular mechanisms. Keeping in view the Veterinary Council of India (VCI)???s syllabus, a new chapter on ???Concretions??? has been added.
