Yes Pankaj ji Since our Indian edition has first 407 pages common with International edition, I had to do work within lot of constraints when I modifified chapter 10 on classification systems, so that pages don't overrun. Similarly while modifying chaper on Nomenclature made some most necessary changes based on available information, since revised Melbourne Code has still to be published officially (it normally takes one year after IBC). Yes Effective from 1 January, 2012 Latin or English Description/Diagnosis; and also, Electronic material published online in Portable Document Format (PDF) with an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) or an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) will also constitute effective publication as additional option to hereto requirement of printed hard copy.
