This study work attempts to outline the issues and constraints attached with the smooth implementation of Telemedicine. In doing so, the author tries to draw attention towards the standardization of the EMR Proformas, one of the basic requirements for smooth functioning of any Telemedicine network. The study has highlighted the gaps and issues related to the importance of EMR, with the result, later led to the work done by various experts on the same. The work is expected to be of great help for all involved in the services of Telemedicine.

The fundamentals of biochemistry and molecular biology are an important component of all disciplines of Biology. In the era of multidisciplinary approaches, the basic techniques in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology are much needed by the students of Botany, Zoology, Microbiology, Biotechnology, Fisheries, Veterinary, Pharmacology, Physiology, Medicine, Genetics, Agriculture, and allied subjects both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. This book includes 15 chapters covering more than 135 experimental protocols. It discusses all the relevant topics like pH and buffers, spectrophotometry, chromatography, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, electrophoresis, enzyme immunology, vitamins and pigments, metabolites, and molecular biology. It includes a wide variety of experiments ranging from preparation of culture media to PCR, Southern and Western blotting. All the experiments have been meticulously designed and special care has been given to the safety in the laboratory with precautions provided wheresoever required.

Wheat is the most widely grown and consumed cereal in the world and its demand is expected to grow due to increasing population, change in food habits in favour of wheat and nutritional requirements. Despite adverse effects of biotic and abiotic stresses, India harvested all time high wheat production of 85.93 million tons from 29.5 million hectare during 2010-11. To address the challenges of plateauing yield, anticipated threats and researchable issues, an International Group Meeting was organized during February 9-12, 2011. In this international event, renowned researchers of different disciplines representing wheat growing countries deliberated on various issues. The information encompasses various researchable areas, possible impact of climate change and future strategies to enhance wheat production on sustainable basis. This book will be very useful for the wheat researchers, students and policy makers for ensuring food and nutritional security at global level.
