Book Description

Publication Date: April 3, 2006 | ISBN-10: 0781791642 | ISBN-13: 978-0781791649

Clinical Anatomy by Systems is the first anatomy textbook featuring a systems-based approach geared to medical school programs that have adopted an integrated, organ system-based curriculum. Based on Dr. Snell's established and successful gross anatomy textbook, Clinical Anatomy, this book uses most of the schematic illustrations and many of the same pedagogical features to approach the study of anatomy from a systems-based orientation.
Basic anatomy sections supply basic information for diagnostic and treatment purposes and for performing medical procedures. Numerous imaging examples and labeled photographs of cross-sectional anatomy are included to help students think in terms of three-dimensional anatomy. Surface anatomy sections provide surface landmarks of important anatomic structures located beneath the skin and often bypassed by practicing clinicians.
Physiologic and embryologic notes are interspersed with basic anatomical material to point out the functional significance of the material and provide developmental anatomy information that is essential for the understanding of the structure and relationships of organs. Congenital anomalies that may affect the respective organs are listed after these notes.
Chapter opening outlines highlight the important concepts students should take away from each chapter. End-of-chapter review questions and answers provide valuable assistance in board and course review.
A free bound-in CD-ROM contains clinical notes, information on congenital anomalies, radiographic anatomy, and clinical problem-solving exercises. The clinical notes emphasize the structures that the physician will encounter when making a diagnosis and treating a patient. They also provide the anatomic knowledge necessary to understand many procedures and techniques and note the anatomic "pitfalls" commonly encountered. The problem-solving sections consist of case histories followed by multiple-choice questions and answers with rationales.

This is the essential guide to the study of absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination of drugs in the body. Pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics courses have been included in pharmacy curricula in the USA and Europe for several years. Pharmacokinetics is the study of absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination of drugs in the body. Pharmacists must understand this to ensure appropriate drug regimen for patients. The scope and the intent of this textbook is to provide the reader with a basic intuitive understanding of the principles of pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics and how these principles, along with the equations presented in each chapter, can be applied to achieve successful drug therapy. The application of pharmacokinetics principles and equations are illustrated by providing the reader with data available in the literature. As pharmacokinetics is basically mathematical in nature, a chapter has been included to provide the reader with a basic review of the mathematical principles and graphing techniques necessary to understand pharmacokinetics. At the start of each chapter, important objectives are listed to accentuate and identify the key points of the chapter. When an important and clinically applicable equation appears in the text, a paragraph will follow explaining the significance and therapeutic applications of that equation. Additionally, this paragraph includes and explains relevant factors influencing parameters in an equation. When applicable, at the end of an important equation, a general profile illustrating the relationship between the two variables of an equation will be presented. This approach should make the subject matter much more accessible to the student. Each chapter concludes with related problem sets and problem solving exercises for the student to work through. This should enable the reader to become more adept at solving pharmacokinetic problems arising in drug therapy and understanding the applications and utility of equations in clinical pharmacokinetics and practice. As you can see from the contents, the book is organised into eighteen chapters, the first consists of mathematical principles necessary to understand pharmacokinetics and an overview of the subject matter. The remaining chapters are organised in an order which should be easy for the reader to follow. Clearance and other essential fundamental pharmacokinetic parameters are introduced early in the book as the student will need to apply these concepts in subsequent chapters. A uniform set of notation will be adopted throughout the textbook (a table of which will be at start of the book).

There are few technical books that remain in a leadership position for 65 years. The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics is one. Physicians, teachers, and medical students have voted for Goodman & Gilman with their feet and with their pocketbooks for over six decades. The question is not whether this is an important and useful text, but why?
A sentence by the original authors in their 1940 preface still describes the 11th edition: "This book has also been written for the practicing physician, to whom it offers an opportunity to keep abreast of recent advances in therapeutics and to acquire the basic principles necessary for the rational use of drugs in his/her daily practice."^1:xxiii The book's 65 chapters are grouped into 15 sections: General Principles, Drugs Acting at Synaptic and Neuroeffector Junctional Sites, Drugs Acting on the Central Nervous System, Drug Therapy of Inflammation, Drugs Affecting Renal and Cardiovascular Function ... Chemotherapy of Microbial Diseases, Chemotherapy of Neoplastic Diseases ... Hormones and Hormone Antagonists, Dermatology, Ophthalmology, Toxicology, plus two appendices on prescription writing and patient compliance, and on the design of dosage regimens.
Reading the sections on general principles reminds one that, with the notable exception of antimicrobial and antiparasitic therapy, pharmacology is the science of altering human physiology by chemical means. The well-written chapter on treating hypertension illustrates this concept nicely; it is a pleasure to read and a vast improvement over the PDR or drug company ads. So too is the chapter on principles of antimicrobial therapy. Given the large number of authors, some chapters are easier to read than others, but none can be faulted for lack of well-organized and referenced information. Comparison of the current edition with the fifth edition of only 30 years ago provides an interesting insight into changing times. Then, the great Louis Weinstein personally wrote all the chapters on antimicrobial agents. In the current edition, five experienced and specialized physicians are required for that task.
Even so, a book this size is not the end-all of pharmacology. Some uncommon drugs or drug uses are not described; fortunately, references are provided to information in earlier volumes about some once-major drugs no longer available in the US: eg, emetine, which has uses, though no market, far beyond its amebicidal activity. Unusual uses of medications are noted, eg, cimetidine as a treatment for warts because of its immunostimulant effects. At the other extreme, one imagines the current avian influenza threat will generate great interest in the section on anti-influenza agents. Surprisingly, immunizing agents are barely mentioned in a total of three pages. The ever-increasing complexities of HIV treatment are covered in an understandable fashion.
Appendix 1 deals with prescription writing, the potential for errors in drug orders, and patient compliance. The book closes with nearly 100 pages of tabular pharmacokinetic data providing nicely organized data on oral bioavailability, excretion, volume of distribution, half-life, and other information that is occasionally needed but usually difficult to locate for commonly prescribed medications.
While Goodman & Gilman is no quick-read, it is surprisingly clearly written, logical, and interesting. It is also an awesome realization to see how much one never knew, added to what one once knew but forgot. Nevertheless, the logical, step-wise organization of The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics provides a much greater sense of confidence in one's ability for self-development than do drug company ads or their frequently underwritten large clinical trials for me-too drugs. I once knew an older physician in Baltimore who said he read ten pages every night from the then-current second edition. While this was easier to do with earlier editions, the task is still not inconceivable.

Plot :

Building on the success and popularity of previous editions, Pocket Prescriber 2009-10 has been fully updated to incorporate new drugs, to remove drugs no longer on the market and to reflect recent changes in dosages and prescribing practice. It fills a niche by providing the most essential clinical pharmacology information that busy clinicians need at their fingertip. By focusing on the 500 key drugs that are most commonly prescribed, in an A to Z listing, the book avoids overwhelming the reader with information and remains user-friendly. Information provided includes dosages, indications, contraindications, side-effects and interactions. An important section of the book deals with commonly-encountered prescribing problems, selection issues where there are many similar drugs to choose from (such as antibiotics and antihypertensives), and guidance on coping with a wide variety of emergency situations (such as anaphylaxis and overdoses). Principally aimed at junior doctors, the book is also an invaluable and accessible revision aid for medical students and a practical handbook for nurse and pharmacist prescribers.

Essentials of human physiology for pharmacy

Essentials of human physiology for pharmacy
Laurie Kelly, Laurie Kelly McCorry

Textbooks on human physiology abound. However, they are either basic in nature or are rigorous treatments written for medical and graduate students and exceed the level of detail that student pharmacists need. Putting important topics right at your fingertips, Essentials of Human Physiology for Pharmacy describes physiology with just the right amount of detail. The book begins with an overview of cell membrane physiology emphasizing nerve cell function. This is followed by a detailed discussion of the two major regulatory systems in the body, the nervous system and the endocrine system. The author provides in-depth discussions of the muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and renal systems. She focuses on how tissue and organ function is regulated in order to maintain homeostasis. Underlining the connection between the two disciplines, subsections separate from the actual text relate concepts in physiology to the practice of pharmacy. The clear, concise presentation of important principles and mechanisms, make the book an invaluable resource that you will refer to time and time again.

This text addresses the growing need for a new kind of textbook for medical and biomedical undergraduates that presents a fully integrated approach to biochemistry and medicine, rather than covering biochemistry on a topic by topic basis with a smattering of 'medical cases' to demonstrate relevance. The majority of pre-clinical medical students do not need a detailed biochemistry text book, but rather "biochemistry as a basis" or as an "add-on". The major challenge for them is to integrate biochemical knowledge, to clinical application in the understanding of the etiology of diseases, their diagnosis and treatment.

Essential Biochemistry for Medicine is not intended to be an exhaustive, comprehensive reference; rather a concise, accessible guide that will help first year students, from a wide spectrum of backgrounds, gain a good basic understanding of the biochemistry behind common medical disorders. It integrates biochemistry with clinical applications and the understanding of the etiology of diseases, their diagnosis and treatment. Each chapter includes a concise and simple introduction to the relevant biochemistry and terminology to reinforce what biomedical students have covered, orientate them and encourage them to consider the medical context; whilst at the same time outlining the biochemistry in a simple, "must know" format, for medical students before directing them to the all important clinical considerations.

Key Features:

* A fully integrated approach to give students a basic understanding of the biochemistry behind common medical disorders

* Concise, accessible and well-written with numerous clear illustrations in full colour throughout

* Uses 'FOCUS' sections to expand on certain areas such as diabetes, HIV and obesity

* Includes links and quick references for those wanting a broader knowledge of each topic
