Published on 2015-08-11 by Cengage Learning

FUNDAMENTAL PHARMACOLOGY FOR PHARMACY TECHNICIANS, 2e delivers a clear understanding of how pharmaceuticals act within the body, and the ways drugs are used to treat patients today. Written to deliver complex information in a practical, easy-to-understand style, chapters impart a working knowledge of the medications that pharmacy technicians handle daily, along with each drug’s mechanism of action, indications, adverse effects, contraindications, and interactions. The reading begins with an overview of anatomy and physiology, then explores how the body systems react to specific drug classes, and takes a detailed look at certain diseases in the context of prescription drug treatments. Charts, graphs, warning labels, and drug tables add depth to the readings, while exhaustive appendices and review questions test understanding and prepare you for the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) exam. Now more than ever, FUNDAMENTAL PHARMACOLOGY FOR PHARMACY TECHNICIANS, 2e is the complete learning solution for pharmacy technicians in training!

Marine Pharmacognosy

Marine Pharmacognosy
By:"Se-Kwon Kim"
Published on 2012-12-06 by CRC Press

Diverse and abundant, marine-derived bioactive compounds offer a plethora of pharmacologically active agents with the potential to produce valuable therapeutic entities. Marine-derived organisms, including some macroalgae, microalgae, blue-green algae, invertebrates, and vertebrates—valued in traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times—are now recognized as rich sources of pharmaceutically active compounds. These factors, coupled with the growing need for novel bioactives for the treatment of severe human diseases such as cancer, diabetes, microbial infections, and inflammatory processes, has brought marine pharmaceuticals to the forefront of pharmacology. Marine Pharmacognosy: Trends and Applications provides a comprehensive account of marine-derived bioactive pharmaceuticals and their potential health benefits, including antioxidant, anticancer, antiviral, anticoagulant, antidiabetic, antiallergy, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, antibacterial, and radioprotective activities. Moreover, it discusses the sources, isolation and purification, chemistry, functionality interactions, applications, and industrial features of a variety of marine-derived pharmaceuticals. Marine pharmacognosy is a dynamic field that has been systematically investigated over the last 50 years, and the number of publications and patents are increasing every year. Bringing together a global team of experts, Marine Pharmacognosy: Trends and Applications reviews current research on marine-derived bioactive compounds and provides insight into future research on their potential as pharmacologically active agents.

Pharmacotherapy of Obesity

Pharmacotherapy of Obesity
By:"John P. H. Wilding"
Published on 2008-01-08 by Springer Science & Business Media

After three introductory chapters that deal with the general theme of obesity – now regarded as a chronic disease – this volume discusses the drugs sibutramine and orlistat, which are approved for long-term use in the US and in much of the rest of the world. The three final chapters discuss future drug targets, like the central nervous system and gut hormones, and how to influence energy expenditure and substrate utilization.

Pharmacotherapy of Asthma

Pharmacotherapy of Asthma
By:"James Li"
Published on 2005-09-23 by CRC Press

Standing as the only text focused on the pharmaceutical treatment of asthma, this reference details the pharmacology, mechanisms of action, efficacy, and safety of every drug currently used in the management and care of asthma patients. Internationally renowned authorities cover published practice guidelines, treatment plans, pharmacologic agents, and clinical studies to provide the most authoritative and up-to-date information on the use of medications to control and prevent this common condition. Reviewing the role of pharmacotherapy in the overall management of asthma, this guide: * reviews the pharmacology and clinical use of inhaled corticosteroids, beta adrenergic agonists, leukotriene modifiers, combination products, and many other asthma drugs * provides a practical framework for the optimal pharmacotherapy of asthma, focusing on outpatient therapy * examines international guidelines for the drug treatment of asthma.

Pharmacognosy and Molecular Pharmacognosy In Practice

Pharmacognosy and Molecular Pharmacognosy In Practice
By:"Soodabeh Saeidnia","Ahmad Reza Gohari"
Published on 2012-02 by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing

In 21th century, pharmacognosy research areas are expanded and new aspects of phytochemistry, analytical chemistry, ethnobiology, ethnomedicine, molecular biology, and phytomedicine are developed. The present book prepares a practical guidance for young scientists, researchers, pharmacognosy and phytochemistry students with little experience of pharmacognostical investigations. It is considered that the comprehensive practical methods, as the laboratory manual, were included for each natural product class together with the colored photos of the reactions, which have not been found in the previous related books. Previous practical pharmacognosy books contained mainly the microscopic analysis and concise phytochemical methods. For this reason, the authors tried to include more details about the phytochemical methods, biological and biochemical assays and molecular biological techniques related to natural products and medicinal plants. Thereafter publishing this book, the authors intend to develop the chapters adding more experimental methods, which may be useful in new aspects of pharmacognosy.

Fundamentals Of Aquatic Toxicology

Fundamentals Of Aquatic Toxicology
By:"Gary M. Rand"
Published on 1995-10-05 by CRC Press

This text is divided into three parts. The first part describes basic toxicological concepts and methodologies used in aquatic toxicity testing, including the philosophies underlying testing strategies now required to meet and support regulatory standards. The second part of the book discusses various factors that affect transport, transformation, ultimate distribution, and accumulation of chemicals in the aquatic environment, along with the use of modelling to predict fate.; The final section of the book reviews types of effects or endpoints evaluated in field studies and the use of structure-activity relationships in aquatic toxicology to predict biological activity and physio-chemical properties of a chemical. This section also contains an extensive background of environmental legislation in the USA and within the European Community, and an introduction to hazard/risk assessment with case studies.
