For generations of medical students in India, "Golwalla's Medicine for Students" has been more than just a textbook; it has been a trusted companion and a rite of passage. The book's title is often affectionately shortened to simply "Golwalla," a name that has become synonymous with concise, accessible, and highly relevant clinical medicine for the Indian subcontinent. First published in 1952, it was originally conceived as a handy and concise manual, created in direct response to numerous requests from medical students who felt overwhelmed by the volume of information in larger, more detailed texts.
Clear clinical roadmaps for localizing neurological lesions, treating acute stroke, and adjusting insulin regimens for diabetes mellitus.
: The book spans 19 chapters covering major systems such as Gastroenterology, Cardiovascular, Neurology, and Infectious Diseases.
Instead of carrying a massive physical textbook during ward rounds, students prefer having the book on their phone or tablet.
: Recent editions include information boxes that provide critical subject matter highlights at a glance. Editions & Availability
Golwalla’s Medicine for Students and Practitioners remains a staple in the libraries of medical students across India and South Asia. It serves as a bridge between the voluminous standard textbooks (like Harrison’s) and the concise bullet points of exam guides. While it has its quirks, it is an indispensable tool for the specific demands of undergraduate medical exams and clinical practice in regions where tropical diseases are prevalent.
Why Silk is a Good Choice for Nerve Repair
Over the past few decades, the potential biomedical applications of silk have been gaining interest at an exponential rate.
The versatility created by silk’s chemical structure allows for the production of fibres, gels, scaffolds, films, membranes, and powders. Silk has shown to have excellent cell affinity, and being biocompatible, with the ability to tailor biodegradation, silk is an ideal candidate for biomedical applications.
In terms of nerve repair, luminal silk fibres inside a vein or conduit guide regenerating axons, while the bioabsorbable, permeable tube allows nutrients to support nerve regeneration. Furthermore, silk products can be stored at room temperature, thereby removing the need for expensive cold storage and transportation.
Our first product is a 10cm implant made from bundles of luminal spider silk fibres that can be implanted into a vein or inserted into hollow conduits to support nerve re-growth. Pre-clinical studies have show that SilkAxons® support superior axonal regeneration.
Our second product is an off-the-shelf silk-based peripheral nerve conduit pre-filled with enhancing luminal silk fibres, negating the need to use a vein. golwalamedicinebookpdf
The fibres have proven nerve-regenerating properties and clinical trials show them to be comparable or superior to autografts. And with a porous tubular biocompatible sheath designed to encourage vascularisation, we provide a new and better approach to treating patients with peripheral nerve injuries.

Newrotex launched a first-in-human clinical trial in Q3 2025 using SilkAxons® to bridge large nerve gaps of up to 10cm (significantly more than current FDA approved devices). This study will generate foundational data for Newrotex’s global clinical strategy. Our goal is to commence a large study this year culminating in an application for market approval in the USA and UK. We are also developing collaborations in which our silk platform technology may lead to further improvements in patient care, such as Schwann cell delivery and spinal cord injury repair. : Recent editions include information boxes that provide
