Mechanisms of Disease: An Introduction to Clinical Science



Stephen Tomlinson, "Mechanisms of Disease: An Introduction to Clinical Science"
Cambridge University Press 2008-04-21 0521818583 340 p PDF 13.4 Mb

To reflect the changing face of undergraduate and postgraduate medical education, this new edition emphasises the principles of disease processes and their underlying mechanisms, bringing the content up to date with the latest developments from the fields of molecular and cellular biology. The focus is on describing the fundamental features of pathophysiological processes with examples to illustrate the similar mechanisms underlying apparently diverse clinical conditions. By understanding the cellular interactions in one disease area, similar principles can be applied to other disease groups and to the scientific basis of medical management and treatment strategies. Throughout, the student is encouraged to evaluate and integrate the evidence critically, developing skills for self-directed learning and the application of knowledge. To further encourage the reader to integrate the theory with clinical practice, each chapter concludes with a series of clinical scenarios and MCQs, with answers provided.

Encyclopedia of Mind Enhancing Foods, Drugs and Nutritional Substances



David Group, "Encyclopedia of Mind Enhancing Foods, Drugs and Nutritional Substances"
McFarland & Company ISBN 0786408537 2000-12-15 221 Pages PDF 1 Mb

It seems as though every day brings a new pill or potion claiming to restore mental alertness or improve memory. While many of these claims are based on factual information, many others are not. This encyclopedia of foods and drugs that are believed to improve mental performance contains information on nearly 400 nutrients, herbs, and drugs, ranging from ancient plant compounds to the latest pharmaceuticals. Entries are arranged by type of substance, such as foods, vitamins, minerals, spices, and medical drugs. Each entry contains information such as alternate names and forms, sources, results, side effects, precautions, and recommended dosage. Although readers are encouraged to consult with their doctors before diagnosing and treating themselves, this book provides crucial, factual, and unbiased information on the "miracle drugs" that many people believe can solve health problems from fatigue to Alzheimer's. Readers can discover for themselves the properties of each substance. A complete index allows for easy reference and help with alternate names, food and drug interactions, and symptoms.

Pharmaceutical Microbiology



Pharmaceutical Microbiology
Summary:
A textbook for undergraduate pharmacy students and for microbiologists entering the pharmaceutical industry, introducing the aspects of general microbiology that impinge on that industry. Covers the biology of micro-organisms, antimicrobial agents, and microbial aspects of pharmaceutical processing. First published in 1977 and updated from the 1992 edition with new chapters on vaccination and immunization to act as a link to updated material on the principles of immunity and the production of immunological products. The chapter on antibiotic assays did not make the cut, because so few development have taken place in the field that the coverage in previous editions was deemed sufficient. Other chapters have been enlarged, streamlined, or rewritten by new authors to reflect current conditions.

Medicinal Chemistry of Bioactive Natural Products by Xiao-Tian Liang


Medicinal Chemistry of Bioactive Natural Products by Xiao-Tian Liang (Editor), Wei-Shuo Fang (Editor)[REPOST]
Publisher: Wiley (March 10, 2006) ISBN: 0471660078 PDF 5,3 Mb 460 pages

Medicinal Chemistry of Bioactive Natural Products provides a much-needed survey of bioactive natural products and their applications in medicinal chemistry. This comprehensive reference features articles by some of the world's leading scientists in the field on discovery, structure elucidation, and elegant synthetic strategies-developed for natural products-with an emphasis on the structure activity relationship of bioactive natural products. The topics have been carefully chosen on the basis of relevance to current research and to importance as clinicially useful agents.

Rather than attempting to be a comprehensive encyclopedia of bioactive natural products, Medicinal Chemistry of Bioactive Natural Products guides the reader to the key developments in the field. By providing not only practical detail but a historical perspective on the chemistry and biology of the compounds under consideration, the book serves as a handy resource for researchers in their own work developing pharmaceuticals, and as an inspiring introduction for young scientists to the dynamic field of bioactive natural products research.

Enhanced by examples with updated research results, the discussion covers such topics as:
* The chemistry and biology of epothilones
* Vancomycin and other glycopeptide antibiotic derivates
* Antitumor and other related activities of Taxol and its analogs
* The antimalarial properties of the traditional Chinese medicine, Quinghaosu (artemisinin)
* Huperzine A: A natural drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease
* The medicinal chemistry of ginkgolides from Ginkgo biloba
* Recent progress in Calophyllum coumarins as potent anti-HIV agents
* Plant-derived anti-HIV agents and analogs
* Chemical synthesis of annonaceous acetogenins and their structurally modified mimics

Essentials of Pathophysiology for Pharmacy



Essentials of Pathophysiology for Pharmacy
Publisher:CRC Pages:248 2002-08-28 ISBN:1587160366 PDF 3.4 MB

This textbook stresses topics in pathophysiology that are most pertinent to students pursuing degrees in pharmacy. It is designed to provide students with a clear rationale for the use of a specific drug in selected disease states. The text is also supplemented with "Key Term" boxes that provide clear definitions of medical and physiologic terms. Drug boxes throughout the text provide a concise synopsis of selected drugs associated with the particular disease state, including generic and class names, routes of administration, major side effects and contradictions. Numerous tables and charts are also offered to expand upon and summarize key elements as are questions, study objectives, and diagnostic tools boxes are included.
