This workbook contains over 100 patient cases and over 400 multiple-choice questions and answers to reinforce the material in Golan's Principles of Pharmacology, Second Edition. All of the cases have been successfully used in teaching pharmacology at Harvard Medical School. Each chapter contains the case from the corresponding chapter in the textbook, plus one or two additional cases. Each case includes multiple-choice questions that require the student to think through the case. Answers and explanations appear at the end of the book. The fully searchable online text is available on thePoint, with a link to the Golan textbook Website.

This revised second edition covers the pharmacologic principles underlying the individualization of patient therapy and contemporary drug development, focusing on the fundamentals that underlie the clinical use and contemporary development of pharmaceuticals. Authors drawn from academia, the pharmaceutical industry and government agencies cover the spectrum of material, including pharmacokinetic practice questions, covered by the basic science section of the certifying examination offered by the American Board of Clinical Pharmacology. This unique reference is recommended by the Board as a study text and includes modules on drug discovery and development to assist students as well as practicing pharmacologists. Unique breadth of coverage ranging from drug discovery and development to individualization and quality assessment of drug therapy Unusual cohesive of presentation that stems from author participation in an ongoing popular NIH course Instructive linkage of pharmacokinetic theory and applications with provision of sample problems for self-study Wide-ranging perspective of authors drawn from the ranks of Federal agencies, academia and the pharmaceutical industry Expanded coverage of pharmacogenetics Expanded coverage of drug transporters and their role in interactions Inclusion of new material on enzyme induction mechanisms in chapters on drug metabolism and drug interactions A new chapter on drug discovery that focuses on oncologic agents Inclusion of therapeutic antibodies in chapter on biotechnology products

Now in its third edition, Principles of Pharmacology presents content in a conceptual framework that maximizes understanding and retention and minimizes rote memorization. It takes students "beyond the disease" and deep into physiologic, biochemical, and pathophysiologic systems where drugs activate or inhibit these systems by interacting with molecular and cellular targets. This unique approach ensures understanding of the mechanisms of drug actions on the body, and ultimately, in treating the human patient. Ideal for introductory pharmacology courses that emphasize critical thinking, molecular understanding, systems-based integration, and clinical preparation, the text: Features chapter-opening clinical cases and questions to establish a context for the discussion and the answers that follow Presents signature drug summary tables, updated and organized by mechanism of action, with information on clinical applications, adverse effects, contraindications, and therapeutic considerations Incorporates NEW full-color illustrations throughout, suiting the needs of visual learners and more effectively presenting concepts covered in the narrative Integrates timely content, including recently approved drugs as well as current research on drug mechanisms of action Delivers course and review material appropriate for students through a uniquely collaborative authorship consisting of medical students, residents, and faculty

University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Revised reprint of the comprehensive reference on pharmacology principles, fundamental concepts, mechanisms of action, and clinical applications of drugs. For students, residents, and practitioners in medicine or pharmacy. 159 contributor, 84 U.S.

Small Animal Clinical Pharmacology is a practical, clinically-oriented pharmacology text designed to provide the veterinary student and practitioner with all the relevant information needed when designing drug treatment regimens for pets in small animal veterinary practice. Comprehensively updated and revised, the second edition of this core text covers essential new information on drugs used in the management of a range of presenting conditions including heart disease and cardiac arrhythmias. For the second edition new authors, superb new illustrations and a second colour have all been introduced. With its unique approach combining a thorough understanding of the pharmacological action of drugs with a basic understanding of the relevant physiology and pathophysiology of systems and tissues affected, Small Animal Clinical Pharmacology continues to be an indispensable book for all veterinary students and practitioners. Organised by drug class in a uniform and detailed structure which means it is easy to locate key information on dose rates, routes of administration, drug interactions and special considerations at a glance Key chapters based around treatment of disorders of particular body systems, eg cardiovascular and thyroid disorders Essential introductory chapters covering pharmacokinetics, general pharmacological principles and adverse reactions for a thorough basic grounding in the subject All authors are experienced clinicians and recognised experts in their field who bring a down to earth and practical approach to the text

Principles of Pharmacology for Athletic Trainers, Second Edition has expanded the comprehensive and unique aspect of pharmacology presented in the best-selling first edition by introducing new information on: * Drug and treatment strategies. * Aspects of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, including treatment strategies, the disease process, diagnosis & monitoring of diabetes, and issues that are important for the athletic trainer. * The foundational concepts and pharmacological treatment of schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, various anxiety disorders, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder. * Discussion of herbal supplements, federal regulations, and safety & quality issues related to herbal supplements. Dr. Joel Houglum and Dr. Gary Harrelson have updated Principles of Pharmacology for Athletic Trainers, Second Edition to be more user-friendly by incorporating revised information on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles, making it even easier for students to understand, while still providing the depth of information desired by faculty. Features of the Second Edition: * Educational prompts are provided in each chapter in the form of an advanced chapter organizer. * Shadow boxes throughout to remind students of previously discussed topics. * Summaries at the end of each section to reinforce learning. * A section in each chapter on the role of the athletic trainer regarding the disease process and drug therapy. * New ancillary materials specifically for faculty that include PowerPoint slides and test bank questions. Principles of Pharmacology for Athletic Trainers, Second Edition will be the go-to resource to determine the best pharmacological treatment strategy and management by athletic trainers.

In recent years our understanding of molecular mechanisms of drug action and interindividual variability in drug response has grown enormously. Meanwhile, the practice of anesthesiology has expanded to the preoperative environment and numerous locations outside the OR. Anesthetic Pharmacology: Basic Principles and Clinical Practice, 2nd edition, is an outstanding therapeutic resource in anesthesia and critical care: Section 1 introduces the principles of drug action, Section 2 presents the molecular, cellular and integrated physiology of the target organ/functional system and Section 3 reviews the pharmacology and toxicology of anesthetic drugs. The new Section 4, Therapeutics of Clinical Practice, provides integrated and comparative pharmacology and the practical application of drugs in daily clinical practice. Edited by three highly acclaimed academic anesthetic pharmacologists, with contributions from an international team of experts, and illustrated in full colour, this is a sophisticated, user-friendly resource for all practitioners providing care in the perioperative period.
