5Preface to the Second Edition
This new edition of Concise Pocket Medical Dictionary has undergone a thorough revision process. It includes beautiful, self-explanatory diagrams and illustrations, all in four colors. More than 500 new figures and numerous new enteries have been added.
It is sincerely hoped that this concise, yet complete medical dictionary would prove as a readily available source of reference and would greatly benefit the medical students, teachers, practitioners as well as all the professionals engaged in health care. This dictionary incorporates most commonly used vocabulary and words encountered in numerous medical specialities including medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, ENT, ophthalmology, etc. The meaning of each medical terminology, its explanation and examples have been described in an easy to understand, comprehensible format.
Constructive criticism and continuing support from the readers is highly encouraged.

6Preface to the First Edition
There is mushrooming growth of medical dictionaries in the market. Some are too big to only serve as reference books while others are too small and incomplete to be depended upon. Most dictionaries do not incorporate pharmaceutical preparations. Hence, students feel let down when they fall back on a medical dictionary for help.
This distinct gap prompted me to compile and present to our esteemed readers a compact and complete dictionary titled Concise Medical Dictionary. Though concise, it incorporates most commonly used words and vocabulary mentioned in any dictionary of repute. The meaning of a word, its explanation and examples are described in a simple and comprehensible form. Most pharmaceutical products presently available in the market find their rightful place in the book. However, unnecessary explanations and examples have been avoided. The book should be useful for medical students, practitioners as well as teachers and all professionals engaged in health care.
With the continuing support from the readers, I am confident to upgrade the book over coming years.
