Practical Pharmacology for the Pharmaceutical Sciences


Book Description

Practical Pharmacology for the Pharmaceutical Sciences is a lab survival guide for those studying Pharmacology, providing hands-on advice on developing pharmacology laboratory and data handling skills. Suitable for both undergraduates and postgraduates, it focuses on laboratory techniques rather than computer-simulated data. It also guides the reader through the process of communicating experimental results in a variety of formats, including posters, oral presentations and project reports. Split into three main areas, the following topics are covered in detail: Preparation for Experimental Pharmacology Legal aspects Fundamentals of Pharmacology Definitions, calculations and statistics Experiments in Pharmacology Microtitre-based techniques using isolated cells In vitro techniques using isolated tissues and organs Biochemical techniques using cell-free systems Communicating experimental results Data presentation How to write scientific reports Pharmacological literature Supported with numerous questions throughout the text, as well as step by step instructions for practical experiments, this book presents an approach to learning pharmacology through an appreciation of authentic experimental data.




Laboratory Manual of Pharmacology II


Book Description

We are very pleased to put forth the first edition of 'Laboratory Manual of Pharmacology II'. We believe that this laboratory manual will fulfill the aspirations of pharmacology teachers and students too. This manual is prepared as per PCI Education Regulations, 2014 for Degree Course in Pharmacy. This manual is designed for 'outcome-based education' and each experiment is arranged in a uniform way such as practical significance, practical outcomes (PrOs) and its mapping with course outcomes, minimum theoretical background, resources used, procedure, precautions, observations, result, conclusion, references and related questions. In addition, the mapping of PrOs with blooms taxonomy level is provided to know the level of learning. Moreover, the readings/observations/recorded graphs are given for the easy and in depth understanding of students. The experiments given are as per the OECD guidelines. Teacher and students have to use suitable software to know the demonstration of the experiment. The tables are given to record the observations from the software. In addition, the questions are given at the end of experiments to increase the knowledge of students. This manual is a sincere effort to improve the critical thinking of students so that every student will understand the objective of each experiment and perform calculation smoothly. Theory of each experiment is given in all sixteen experiments making the manual more informative and interesting. We acknowledge the help and co-operation extended by various people in bringing out this manual. We are highly indebted to the authors of various books and articles mentioned in bibliography which became a major source of information for writing this manual. We also thank the publishers, designers and printers who graciously worked hard to publish this manual in time. We hope that this manual will assist students in understanding concepts, principles, and performing procedures. We wish you all the best!"

Manual of Practical Pharmacology


Book Description

Pharmacology is the heart of Pharmacy field. Students get attracted for Pharmacology subject for to satisfy their curiosity towards living system and hands on training on animals. But because of lack of proper guidance and training they do not get successful results as they expected. Moreover according to the new guidelines of Pharmacy Council of India postgraduate students should know all the techniques related to different areas like animal handling, dosing, gene amplification, DNA/RNA isolation, Bioassay etc. Though all this are very diversified fields it’s very difficult to compile all the practical’s in one reference book. Even undergraduate pharmacy students are also expected to have knowledge of Pharmacology as that of medical student as and even more than them in case of experimental pharmacology. Though the animals are banned in the undergraduate experiments it gets impossible to learn Pharmacology at that much extent. For the solution of this problem we have compiled mostly all the practical’s of experimental pharmacology which are in the curriculum of postgraduate and undergraduate students.
