Modern glass working and laboratory technique. Physical chemistry for premedical students

Chemistry courses as the turning point for premedical students

Previous research has documented that negative experiences in chemistry courses are a major factor that discourages many students from continuing in premedical studies. This adverse impact affects women and students from under-represented minority (URM) groups disproportionately. To determine if chemistry courses have a similar effect at a large public university, we surveyed 1,036 students fro...

Physical Chemistry for Students of Biochemistry and Medicine

Unusual features of this new text are a long chapter on atomic and molecular structure, a clear summary of modern ideas about biological oxidation and reduction, and the extreme detail with which even the most elementary mathematical operations are explained. The behavior of buffers is also discussed very fully. Mathematical expressions of the laws of physical chemistry are cut down to a minimu...

Physical Chemistry for Students of Biology and Medicine

The present edition, the fourth, consisting of sixteen chapters, covering 288 pages, considers the various glands of internal secretion, their inter-relationship with the nervous system and nervous disorders, the therapeutic application of hormones, obesity and infantilism. As is to be expected in a book of this sort, the author makes no attempt at a profound discussion of the various subjects,...

Physical Chemistry for Students of Biology and Medicine

The fallacy of the popular concept that "it's good enough for clinical purposes" is becoming more widely recognized as the potentialities of scientific methods in diagnosis and therapy increase. Such a manual as this should aim to raise the dignity and improve the quality of clinical chemistry and clinical chemists, not, by conceding to prevailing opinion, perpetuate its present mediocre estate...
