Drug Delivery: Engineering Principles for Drug Therapy

Product Details
Book Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA (19 February, 2001)
ISBN: 0195085892
Book author: W. Mark Saltzman

Book Description:
Synthetic materials are a tremendous potential resource for treating human disease. For the rational design of many of these biomaterials it is necessary to have an understanding of polymer chemistry and polymer physics. Equally important to those two fields is a quantitative understanding of the principles that govern rates of drug transport, reaction, and disappearance in physiological and pathological situations. This book is a synthesis of these principles, providing a working foundation for those in the field of drug delivery. It covers advanced drug delivery and contemporary biomaterials. rapidshare

Oxford Handbook of Practical Drug Therapy

Product Details
Book Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA (02 June, 2005)
ISBN: 0198530072
Book author: Duncan Richards, Jeffrey Aronson

Book Description:
Safe and effective prescribing is a cornerstone of proper patient care. There has recently been a significant increase in the numbers of healthcare professionals able to prescribe; however, sources of drug information tend to focus on only one area of prescribing. This book links practical information about how to use medicines with concise details about the pharmacology of a drug and the principles of clinical pharmacology that govern its action. The overall structure of this handbook is similar to that of the British National Formulary, with monographs on each drug arranged broadly by therapeutic category. When a drug has several different uses, these are brought together in a single monograph, allowing the reader to appreciate its full range of actions, whether therapeutic or adverse. Each drugs monograph provides the following information in a clearly laid out and standardised form: DT A graphical representation of the pharmacological actions of the drug, with its potential uses DT Practical advice on usage for a drug’s major indications DT A list of the most common and serious adverse effects, with incidence figures and action to take DT Major drug-drug interactions DT Practical advice on monitoring for therapeutic and adverse effects DT Patient information – what you should tell your patients Teaching points throughout the text draw out pharmacological principles, so that readers can increase their basic knowledge by linking theory with practical examples. Also included are several boxes giving guidance on the approach to therapy of specific diseases and clinical problems. In some case algorithms for the treatment of medical emergencies are also given. The Oxford Handbook of Practical Drug Therapy brings together for the first time in a single book really practical information on safe prescribing with the background knowledge that underpins clinical pharmacology. Aimed primarily at medical students, it will also be invaluable to family doctors, clinical pharmacists, and nurse prescribers. link

Publication Date: 2006-01-09
Sales Rank: 488335
ISBN / ASIN: 3527308199
EAN: 9783527308194
Binding: Hardcover
Book Description:

With its particular emphasis on the constitutive activity of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)s, this book comprehensively discusses an important biological process that has not yet been covered in such depth in any other existing books on GPCRs. The international team of highly distinguished authors addresses in detail current models and concepts, to introduce medicinal chemists, physiologists, pharmacologists, and medical researchers into the advances in the understanding of GPCR activation and constitutive activity. In addition, the book provides an overview on methods of investigating constitutive GPCR activity. The text is well illustrated by selected experimental data and schemes._The chaptes are all cross-referenced with each other and cover general mechnisms, methodological approaches and cover selected important GPCR sysstems, the consequences for drug action, including, side effects, and rational drug design for GPCR targets. A highly recommended reference for researchers in academia and industry. authors addresses in detail current models and concepts, so as to introduce pharmaceutical chemists, physiologists and medical researchers to the advances in the understanding of GPCR activation and constitutive activity, and provides an overview of the methods of investigating GPCR activity. The text is backed by abundant case studies and methodological advice for analyzing GPCRs, covering selected pharmacologically relevant GPCR systems, the consequences for drug action, including unwanted side effects, and rational drug design for GPCR targets.
A highly practical reference for researchers in academia and industry.
