Alzheimers disease is a neuro degenerative disorder. Medications namely done penile, galantamine and rivastigmine increase the levels of acetyl choline, a neurotransmitter that plays a critical role particularly in memory and learning. By stopping the enzymes that break down acetyl choline, these drugs increase communication between nerve cells in the brain. NMDA receptor antagonist that is meantime is also used in the treatment of Alzheimers disease.

Antiarrhythmic drugs play a key role regarding abnormal heart rhythms. Anti-arrhythmic drugs are divided into different classes dependent on their primary mechanism of action. These drugs are regarded as into four main categories such as class I (sodium channel blockers), class II(beta _ blockers), class III (potassium channel blockers) and class IV (calcium channel blockers). Class I anti arrhythmics specifically act on sodium channels, which play a role in the initiation and conduction of action potentials particularly in Cardiac cells. Class II anti arrhythmics act by decreasing the effects of adrenaline on the heart. Class III antiarrhythmics affect potassium channels and carry on the repolarization phase of the Cardiac action potential. Potential class IV antiarthmics stop calcium influx during depolarization and result in acdecrement in the heart rate and the forcec of contraction. Finally it is concluded that anti arrhythmic drugs play a critical role in managing various vtyoes of arrhythmias.

ACT Heart failure remains a significant health challenge globally, influencing millions of individuals and imposing a considerable burden on healthcare systems. Factors influencing heart failure include Cardiac remodeling, neuro hormonal activation, impaired contractility as well as ejection fraction, ventricular dysfunction as well as chamber dilation, inflammatory as well as oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction and microbial dysfunction. Finally it is concluded that heart failure is a complex syndrome resulting from multiple pathophysiological mechanisms.

Acute and chronic hypoxia results in unconsciousness. Brain death happens immediately without proper treatment. Hypoxia activates Juxta glomerular (JG) apparatus of kidneys and enhances the secretion of erythroietin which in turn activates the red bone marrow to enhance the RBC count. Hypoxia enhances the rate and force of contraction of heart, cardiac output (COP) as well as blood pressure. Hypoxia enhances the respiratory because of the stimulation of chemoreceptor reflex.

The new edition of this popular, well-established textbook addresses the expanding role of the pharmacist in treating patients. It covers treatment of common diseases as well as other medical, therapeutic and patient related issues. Written by both pharmacists and clinicians to reflect a team approach, it offers an in-depth analysis of drug therapy in the treatment of disease, relying on input from the pharmacist as a member of the "team" in hospital and community settings. Information is easy to locate in a logical format organized primarily by systems and disorders.

Pharmacology is a component of Encyclopedia of Biological, Physiological and Health Sciences in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Pharmacology is the study of the actions of chemicals on the body and most usually it is defined as chemicals that can have a therapeutic action to treat disease. Since it looks at the interaction between chemicals and body systems pharmacology utilizes the basic disciplines of chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, pathology and microbiology in its practice. Pharmacology is a foundation science for pharmacy which is the rational prescribing of drugs to treat disease and the foundation science for toxicology which is the study of the toxic actions of chemicals on the body. The two volumes are organized in groups of chapters as follows: The first group of chapters discuss pharmacological principles and these include chapters on Pharmacodynamics; Pharmacokinetics, Neuropharmacology, Autonomic Pharmacology and Clinical Pharmacology. The second group of chapters discusses the processes of Drug discovery and the Safety requirements for drugs to be used therapeutically and include Drug Discovery and Safety Pharmacology assessment. The largest group of chapters discuss different therapeutic areas and include Cardiovascular and renal pharmacology; Endocrine pharmacology; Neuropsychopharmacology; Pulmonary Pharmacology; Gastrointestinal pharmacology; Poisons venoms and toxins; Drugs on skeletal muscle; the Pharmacotherapy of inflammation; Reproductive pharmacology; Pain pharmacology and analgesia. The final group of chapters discuss new approaches and include Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics; Immunopharmacology and Gene therapy. These two volumes are aimed at the following a wide spectrum of audiences from the merely curious to those seeking in-depth knowledge: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.

Ethnopharmacology is a component of Encyclopedia of Biological, Physiological and Health Sciences in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Ethnopharmacology is the scientific study correlating ethnic groups, their health, and how it relates to their physical habits and methodology in creating and using medicines. This Theme on Ethnopharmacology presents the field as an amalgam of perspectives, primarily those of pharmacology, pharmacognosy, anthropology, and botany. It highlights the uniquely biocultural perspective on ethnopharmacology offered by medical anthropology, which underscores that health and healing are culturally constructed and socially negotiated. The definition of ethnopharmacology that frames this volume is: the study of indigenous medical systems that connects the ethnography of health and healing with the physiological relevance of its medical practices. The history of botanical medicines is traced from primate self-medication to contributions to biomedicine. The methods of ethnopharmacologic inquiry are presented from pharmacologic, ecological, ethnographic, data management, and ethical perspectives. Chapters are devoted to plants used in the treatment of specific disorders: cancer, parasitic infection, AIDS, inflammation, diabetes, and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders. The important role that plant medicines play in the developing world is revealed in discussion of ritual and ceremony, safety issues, health care, and biodiversity. These two volumes are aimed at the following a wide spectrum of audiences from the merely curious to those seeking in-depth knowledge: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.
