We have been extremely grateful for the positive response rendered towards the book, Exam Preparatory Manual for Undergraduates—Medicine and were thus, excited to undertake the challenge of developing a new edition. Surfing beyond plainly updating the literature, this second edition gifted us with the opportunity to further explore topics we ourselves have wrestled with as a student, teacher and teacher educator and also build an understanding of how we approach students and their texts. In the year and a half following the release of the first edition of this book, we have received numerous feedbacks via e-mails and letters from readers who have given wonderful suggestions on how we could further upgrade the material. We had also built up a large file of ideas based on our own experiences in reading, writing and editing during this time. With the aid of all this information, we have completely revised the book. In this second edition, the following changes and additions have been incorporated: Updated the literature, substantially reordered and updated the material according to the current guidelines in all chapters. Included clinical images for all commonly encountered medical conditions. Added X-rays, MRIs, CT scans and ECG images of common conditions with explanations. Treatment algorithms have been revised and updated. Topics regarding clinical trials and research methodology have been added. A full chapter on ‘common emergencies in medicine’ is included as a ready reckoner. With an eye to the book’s potential use as an aid for entrance preparation, high yield points are highlighted in each section The bibliography has been updated. Many new editions of books are referenced and updated references have been added. We must hereby acknowledge those who have helped us with this new edition. We are especially grateful for the ongoing encouragement from our university, Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) and Yenepoya Medical College (Deemed to be University), Mangaluru, Karnataka, India. We would like to express our gratitude to Dr Ramdas M Pai (Chancellor), Dr HS Ballal (Pro-Chancellor), Dr H Vinod Bhat (Vice-Chancellor), Dr V Surendra Shetty and Dr Poornima Baliga (Pro Vice-Chancellor) of MAHE, for their continued support.
