Product Description:
The chest radiograph is a very commonly requested examination and is probably the hardest plain film to interpret correctly. Accurate interpretation can greatly influence patient management in the acute setting. It is, however, often performed out of hours with interpretation undertaken by relatively junior members of staff, frequently with no senior radiological advice available.
Therefore, the core information in this book is based upon a series of talks given to Junior Doctors by the authors. These provide a logical framework for the initial assessment of the chest X-ray and thus enable a proper diagnosis to be made, with advice in how to offer the correct management of patients. This structured approach is greatly appreciated by these individuals as they feel it helps compensate for their lack of applied knowledge. It is important however to get the tone right, as often books on interpretation tend to be either aimed below or above the level that such doctors need

Product Description:
This primary textbook for a first course in pharmacology offers an integrated, systems-based, and mechanism-based approach to understanding drug therapy. Each chapter focuses on a target organ system, begins with a clinical case, and incorporates cell biology, biochemistry, physiology, and pathophysiology to explain how and why different drug classes are effective for diseases in that organ system. Over 400 two-color illustrations show molecular, cellular, biochemical, and pathophysiologic processes underlying diseases and depict targets of drug therapy. Each Second Edition chapter includes a drug summary table presenting mechanism, clinical applications, adverse effects, contraindications, and therapeutic considerations. New chapters explain how drugs produce adverse effects and describe the life cycle of drug development. The fully searchable online text and an image bank are available on thePoint.

PDF 16672 pages
Data Date -> Available online 8 January 2008
xPharm, a state of the art, online, comprehensive pharmacology reference work.
xPharm is comprised of four searchable and highly interlinked databases covering molecular
Targets, including receptors, enzymes, transporters and ion channels, chemical
Agents, including both drugs and endogenous compounds, clinical Disorders, and basic
pharmacological Principles.
xPharm is designed to exploit the advantages provided by online publishing in allowing a user to customize information retrieval by quickly identifying and linking data from a large reference work. In addition, electronic publishing permits timely updates, which are not possible with printed material. xPharm is unique in that it was constructed from the beginning as an online reference work, rather than trying to adapt a print product to an online venue.
The idea for four databases was driven by the fact that Agents, including drugs, which are the core of pharmacology, act at molecular Targets to treat Disorders. The Principles database is included as a repository of information fundamental to the discipline but generally independent of the chemical entity, site of action, or clinical use.
Each xPharm record is composed and reviewed by experts and the information placed within a highly structured format consistent within each database. xPharm is rich in the numerical data used to define pharmacological relationships, with each fact referenced so that more detailed information can be obtained if necessary.
All narratives are hyperlinked to related records across databases to facilitate navigation within a subject area. The records are organized in a hierarchical manner to facilitate browsing at increasing levels of specialization
depending upon the needs and the background of the user. For example, one could begin with 7 Transmembrane Receptors, then advance to Adrenoceptors, and on to Beta Adrenoceptors and finally to Beta-2 Adrenoceptors.
Alternatively, the user can easily navigate from record to record with a click of the mouse. Starting in the Principles record, Intrinsic Regulation of the Vasculature, one might go to the Essential Hypertension record, then to Altenolol and finally to the Beta-1 Adrenoceptor record. xPharm also
contains external links to related databases providing a seamless network of pharmacological information including access to full text articles, protein and gene sequences, suppliers, and other related web sites, including those of funding agencies.
xPharm is designed for the bench scientist working in academic, industrial or government laboratories, although students also find it very useful.While clinical information is provided in some records, the work is not intended as a primary source for clinicians and should not be used in this way. Rather, clinical data, such as doses, dosage forms, side effects, and potential drug interactions, are included as background information for those attempting to design or develop new medications, or who are conducting research aimed at defining the molecular mechanisms responsible for certain clinical responses. With regard to targets, emphasis is placed on those proteins known to have pharmacological
relevance. Likewise, although information on drug toxicities is included, xPharm is not intended to be a comprehensive toxicology reference.
Currently, xPharm consists of approximately 4000 individual records prepared by
nearly 600 authors. If printed it would total over 20,000 pages, making it the world’s largest medical reference work. Additional records are added, and records revised, biannually.
Each new record is reviewed by authorities on the topic before it is published, and is revised and updated as necessary. Those interested in authoring or revising records should contact xpharm-mail@elsevier.com.
We extend our sincere thanks to the hundreds of authors, the members of the Editorial Board, and to the staff and management at Elsevier, in particular Tim Stevenson and Zoe Kruze, for their dedication and commitment. Thanks to their efforts, xPharm has developed into the equivalent of an expert pharmacologist, on-call 24 hours a day, capable of answering your questions, and providing new insights, in this dynamic and important field.

This is a comprehensive guide to law and ethics for pharmacy practice in the UK. "Dale and Appelbe's Pharmacy Law and Ethics" has become established as the standard student textbook and reference work on this subject in the UK. A knowledge of pharmacy law is a substantial and compulsory component of the undergraduate and pre-registration pharmacy syllabus in the UK and changes to the syllabus and practice require the text to be updated regularly. This revised edition provides a comprehensive guide to the law that affects the practice of pharmacy and the use of medicines in Great Britain, and complete coverage of the pharmacy undergraduate and pre-registration syllabus and British law relating to medicines and poisons.

This book gives a response to the increasing interest in side effects of psychiatric drugs. The association of some antipsychotics with different cardiovascular reactions, the withdrawal of certain antidepressants for security reasons, along with the possibility of better treatments for patients when side effects of medications used are known, have contributed to this interest. Meyler’s Side Effects of Psychiatric Drugs is organized by sections: antidepressants, neuroleptic drugs, hypnosedatives, drugs of abuse, drugs used in Alzheimer’s disease and psychological and psychiatric adverse effects of non-psychoactive drugs. For each section, there is overall and general information presenting the main features of the group and the different adverse reactions; then, there is information corresponding to the individual drugs with the same scheme. In this manner, the book is easy to use and information is easy to find. The editing is fantastic and has been performed by the expertise of Jeffrey K. Aronson, editor as well of Meyler’s Side Effects of Drugs, a remarkable book whose first edition was published in 1952 and remains unique in the world for his quality and the vast amount of data included. Now, Meylers’s Side Effects of Psychiatric Drugs, with advanced knowledge and the same quality and thoroughness, expands the scope of the preceding work to the field of psychiatry making this book more oriented to clinical practice. Thus, an invaluable material is delivered for psychiatrists and other clinicians interested in an update in this transcendental field. When compared to other traditional reference books such as PDF or BNF, Meylers’s Side Effects of Psychiatric Drugs provides more comprehensive, evidence-based information, and a more critical approach. In summary, Meylers’s Side Effects of Psychiatric Drugs is an essential tool for those who want to keep updated and to have an in-depth knowledge of the safety problems associated with drugs used in psychiatry.
Meyler’s Side Effects of Psychiatric Drugs is divided into 6 major sections: Antidepressants (including lithium); Neuroleptic drugs; Hypnosedatives; Drugs of Abuse; Drugs used in Alzheimer’s Disease; and Psychological and Psychiatric Side Effects of Non-psychiatric Drugs. Anticonvulsant mood stabilizers are also discussed. Each section is very comprehensive regarding the clinical uses of the class of medications, the side effects to be anticipated, drug interactions, long-term effects, and effects of drug overdosage. Compounds within a class are separately noted, and medications used throughout the world are discussed. There is an excellent and useful index, and each section has an excellent and up-to-date reference list.
