Synopsis Studies in the History of Modern Pharmacology and Drug Therapy by : John Parascandola

An acknowledged expert on the history of modern pharmacology and drug therapy, John Parascandola here brings together 19 of his most important papers on these subjects. The book is divided into three topical sections. In the first group of articles, devoted to pharmacological theory, Dr. Parascandola sheds new light on our understanding of the history of such key pharmacological concepts as receptor theory, structure-activity relationships, and the role of stereochemistry in physiological action. The second section focuses on the discipline of pharmacology and offers insights into the pivotal role played by John J. Abel in the shaping of the field, the development of pharmacology in schools of pharmacy and in the Federal Government, and the national pharmacological society's membership ban on pharmacologists working in industry. The final section on drug therapy discusses various drugs from antibiotics to sulfones, and their use in the treatment of diseases such as leprosy and syphilis.

Synopsis Integrated Pharmacology by : Greg Sperber

Integrated Pharmacology: Combining Modern Pharmacology with Chinese Medicine, by Dr Greg Sperber, gives you basic information about each common class of Western pharmaceuticals. For each category of drug, Dr Sperber gives us the generic names, pronunciation, and registered proprietary versions, an explanation of function, mechanism of action, dosages for adults, children, and the elderly, possible adverse affects, red flags, and the most up-to-the-minute information on specific drug-drug and drug-herb interactions that may affect your patients. Additionally, the book includes commentary by Bob Flaws on a three-part system for evaluating Western meds using Chinese medical principles and a Chinese medical analysis of each class of drugs using this three-part system. This book has Over 130 illustrations showing the functions and mechanisms of each type of drug as well as a page-by-page glossary of potentially difficult terms throughout the book.

Synopsis Modern Pharmacology And Toxicology by : Dr. Shahid Sami Siddique

Modern pharmacology and toxicology is a branch of medicine, biology, and the pharmaceutical sciences that studies how drugs and medicines work. A drug can be any molecule, whether it's made in a lab, found in nature, or made by the body itself. To describe any species, either endogenous or foreign, that influences the biochemistry or physiology of a cell, tissue, organ, or organism, the term "pharmacon" is occasionally used. The study of interactions between living things and substances that influence both normal and aberrant biochemical activity is what it is known as in more particular terms. Pharmaceuticals are any compounds that may be used to treat or prevent disease. Toxicology is a field that draws from many other scientific disciplines, hence the work and interests of toxicologists span many areas. As we now know that all compounds may cause toxicity according to the exposure time and dosage, toxicologists are primarily interested in the mechanisms of action of various agents. Nonetheless, scientists are currently trying to determine the routes or endogenous molecules that are affected by even the most well-known and ancient substances, which results in toxicity.

Synopsis A Textbook Of Modern Pharmacology And Toxicology by : Dr. Satyendra Kumar Kashyap

Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology refers to the study of pharmaceuticals in people. To that end, clinical pharmacologists focus on both improving the effectiveness of already available medications and creating brand new ones. In light of the thalidomide disaster, contemporary clinical pharmacology was born, yet nowadays, most adverse medication responses are dosage related. To begin with, doctors would utilise TDM to adjust a patient's dose based on their specific needs. In recent years, pharmacogenetics has been employed for this, and it has also proven helpful in selecting appropriate medications. Understanding how medications are absorbed, distributed, and excreted (pharmacokinetics) has allowed for advancements in this field. Evaluation of renal function and clarification of the pharmacokinetic implications of compromised renal function have been at the heart of this work. Clinical toxicology is a branch of toxicology that deals with the care of poisoned patients at the bedside. This includes making a definitive toxicological diagnosis, figuring out how bad the poisoning is right now and what the long-term outlook is, and choosing treatments, including antidotes. A clinical toxicologist's expertise in the possible dangers of drugs and chemicals enables them to aid in the prevention and preparation of chemical overdoses. Clinical disease is mostly brought on by toxicants. Because of this, clinical toxicology is included in internal medicine and greatly benefits from the expertise of other medical fields. Clinical toxicology calls for expert knowledge of pharmacology.

Synopsis Basic Knowledge of Pharmacology by : Roland Seifert

This is the perfect pharmacology textbook for medical and pharmacy students. The book was developed on the +30-year experience of the author as pharmacology professor in the United States and Germany. The book discusses the most important drugs (400) in the context of relevant diseases. Summary tables and schemes, MCQ exam questions, case studies and a list of drugs aid memorization of the material before an exam. All chapters are written in the same concise style and use a modern and precise pharmacological nomenclature. After reading of the book, the student will be able to critically assess the proper use of the most important drugs and advise patients properly. The didactic concept of the book has been developed on the author’s own pharmacology courses for which he has received numerous teaching awards. The book takes advantage of the learning spiral, in which material is presented repeatedly from various angles. This book is an adaptation for an international audience of the German textbook “Basiswissen Pharmakologie” (2018); ISBN: 978-3-662-56303-8.

Synopsis Chinese Drugs of Plant Origin by : Weici Tang

Traditional Chinese medicine has been used for thousands of years by a large population. It is currently still serving many of the health needs of the Chinese people; and still enjoying their confi dence it is practised in China in parallel with modern Western medical treatment. In addition to scientific organisations dedi cated to modern Western medicine, e. g. the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and various medical schools, a series of parallel institutions have been established in China to promote traditional Chinese medicine, such as the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and training institutions. Almost all hospitals in China have a department of traditional medicine. Furthermore, a large number of scientific journals are dedicated to traditional Chinese medicine, covering both experimental and clinical investigations. Medicinal materials constitute a key topic in the treatment of disease according to traditional Chinese medicine. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia (1985 edition) is therefore divided into two sepa rate volumes, Volume I containing traditional Chinese medicinal materials and preparations and Volume II containing pharmaceu tics of Western medicine. The oldest Chinese review of medicinal materials, Shennong Bencao Jing (100-200 A. D. ), covered 365 herbal drugs. The clas sic compilation in this field, Bencao Gangmu (Compendium of Materia Medica), was published in 1578 by Li Shi-zhen and recorded as many as 1898 crude drugs of plant, animal and min eral origin.
