Billions Under Lockdown
When WHO first declared COVID-19 a global pandemic in March 2020, there was a great deal of apprehension about how India - the country with the highest TB cases and diabetes, inadequate health infrastructure and a population of 1.3 billion - would fare. Between the Janata Curfew and the first vaccinations, a massive machinery has been working as seamlessly as possible to make sure that, despite some missteps and missed infections, India conquers what has been the greatest challenge the world has encountered in decades. Covering the pandemic from the start, first for The Indian Express and then for ThePrint, Abantika Ghosh has had a ringside view of India's battle against the pandemic. A thrilling tale of unnamed thousands battling against a little-understood virus from the frontlines, Billions Under Lockdown brings that gripping theatre and its dramatis personae to life.

Menopause - ECAB
Menopause is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Stages of Reproductive Ageing and Workshop (STRAW) working group as the permanent cessation of menstrual periods that occurs naturally or is induced by surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. Natural menopause is recognized after 12 consecutive months without menstrual periods that are not associated with other causes.

Gynecologic Endocrinology - ECAB
The diagnostic approach as well as the management of several endocrinological disorders underwent major modifications. Gynecological endocrinology made no exception, and light was finally thrown on a scarcely known area, so heavily influenced by ignorance and prejudices.

Current medical therapy of different conditions has been thoroughly reviewed, including prec...
To Kill a Democracy
India's democracy is failing. And this failure, argue Debasish Roy Chowdhury and John Keane, is not a recent development, and not just linked to Modi's rise to power. With a unique narrative combining moving life stories and scholarly insight, they offer a radical re-appraisal of Indian politics and society. They discuss India's passage to despotism not just in terms of shrinking civil rights and captured and broken governing institutions, but also from the perspective of welfare provisions and economic and social well-being. Throughout, Roy Chowdhury and Keane show how these social and political dysfunctions have intersected to reduce India to a phantom democracy. Book jacket.

Transplant Tourism: An International and National Law Model to Prohibit Travelling Abroad for Illegal Organ Transplants explores the role that international and national laws must play in the prohibition and eradication of transplant tourism and proposes a three-stage legal model for the prohibition of the practices.
