Book Description

Every day veterinarians in practice are asked to treat petsexhibiting problem behaviors. In the last several yearspharmacologic treatments of behavior have made significant advancesand can serve as a critical part of therapy. Veterinary Pscyhopharmacology is a complete source of currentknowledge on the subject of pharmacologic behavior modificationthat veterinarians can turn to for the answers they need. Classification of disorders is eschewed in favor of in-depthexplanations of pharmacologic options in inducing behavior changes.Special emphasis is given to explaining the underlying mechanism ofpharmacologic agents used in therapy; thus, veterinarians will knownot only which drugs to prescribe but why they should be prescribedand how they work. Veterinary behaviorists, their students and residents, veterinarypractitioners of all levels, and veterinary students will find thisbook invaluable in providing information about their patients'behavior problems and the psychoactive medications that might helpthem.

Book Description

This book provides basic and applied knowledge about monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), their classification, and clinical application as neuroprotective agents and will be a valuable source of new knowledge for doctors, patients, medical students, teachers, researchers, and basic biomedical scientists interested in learning the appropriate clinical application of MAOIs without any misunderstanding for the prevention and/or treatment of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. The book will be of immediate interest to patients suffering from Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), panic disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD), and major depression. Physicians interested in learning more about MAOIs and their molecular and pharmacological mechanism of action will highly benefit from the book's clinically-interesting contents. In general, this book will be a valuable source of knowledge for the basic researcher, clinically useful for the physician, and therapeutically-beneficial for the patients. The book can also serve as a guide for Masters and Ph.D students interested in conducting research on MAOIs. Particularly, MD doctors, students, and professors will find this book interesting to enhance their basic knowledge about MAOIs and their potential benefits and adverse effects for the better clinical management of drug-resistant PD, AD, and MDDs. Furthermore, recent knowledge regarding the molecular mechanism of MAOIs-mediated protection at the cellular, molecular, and genetic level is thought-provoking and motivates the young scientists to augment research on developing novel drugs with minimum or no adverse effects. It is envisaged that future research on specific CB-targeted MAOIs will have superior pharmacogenomics profiles, enhanced margin of safety, maximum therapeutic index, and minimum or no adverse effects.'

Book Description

Use your knowledge of pharmacology to enhance oral care! Pharmacology and Therapeutics for Dentistry, 6th Edition describes how to evaluate a patient's health and optimize dental treatment by factoring in the drugs they take. It explores the basic fundamentals of pharmacology, special topics such as pain control, fear and anxiety, and oral complications of cancer therapy, and most importantly, the actions of specific drug groups on the human body. Whether you're concerned about the drugs a patient is already taking or the drugs you prescribe for treatment, this book helps you reduce risk and provide effective dental care. - An emphasis on the dental applications of pharmacology relates drugs to dental considerations in clinical practice. - Dental aspects of many drug classes are expanded to include antibiotics, analgesics, and anesthetics. - The Alternative Medicine in Dentistry chapter discusses chemicals used as alternative medicines and assesses their potential benefits and risks. - The Nonopioid Analgesics chapter groups together non-opioid analgesics, nonsterioidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and antirheumatic and antigout drugs, making these easier to locate and study. - Coverage of the endocrine system includes four separate chapters for the most comprehensive coverage. - Drug Interactions in Clinical Dentistry appendix lists potential interactions between drugs a patient is taking for nondental conditions and drugs that may be used or prescribed during dental treatment, including effects and recommendations. - Glossary of Abbreviations appendix includes the most common abbreviations used for drugs or conditions. - New Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics chapter covers the effects of genetic traits of patients on their responses to drugs. - A NEW introductory section offers tips for the study of dental pharmacology and relates pharmacology to dental considerations. - An updated discussion of drug-drug interactions covers the harmful effects of mixing medications. - Coverage of adverse effects and mechanisms of COX-2 inhibitors, antibiotic prophylaxis, and antiplaque agents explains the dental risks relating to common drug treatments.

Book Description

All of the titles in the Stahl's Illustrated Series are designed to be fun. Concepts are illustrated by full-color images that will be familiar to all readers of Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology, 3rd Edition and The Prescriber's Guide. The texts in this user-friendly series can be supplements to figures, images, and tables. The visual learner will find that these books make psychopharmacology concepts easy to master, while the non-visual learner will enjoy a shortened text version of complex psychopharmacology concepts. Within each book, each chapter builds on previous chapters, synthesizing information from basic biology and diagnostics to building treatment plans and dealing with complications and comorbidities. Novices may want to approach Stahl's Illustrated Series by first looking through all the graphics and gaining a feel for the visual vocabulary. Readers more familiar with these topics should find that going back and forth between images and text provides an interaction with which to vividly conceptualize complex pharmacologies. And, to help guide the reader toward more in-depth learning about particular concepts, each book ends with a Suggested Reading section.

Book Description

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in almost every human disease phenotype, without much, if any, therapeutic consequence foremost exemplified by the failure of the so-called anti-oxidants. This book is a game changer for the field and many clinical areas such as cardiology and neurology. The term ‘oxidative stress’ is abandoned and replaced with a systems medicine and network pharmacology-based mechanistic approach to disease. The ROS-related drugs discussed here target either ROS- forming or ROS -modifying enzymes for which there is strong clinical evidence. In addition, ROS targets are included as they jointly participate in causal mechanisms of disease. This approach is transforming the ROS field and represents a breakthrough in redox medicine indicating a path to patient benefit. In the coming years more targets and drugs may be discovered, but the approach will remain the same and this book will thus become, and for many years remain, the leading reference for ROSopathies and their treatment by network pharmacology.
