Dictionary of Pharmaceutical Medicine


Book Description

In the beginning was the word – and the foreword. Words are c- bined to sentences and eventually language. Words are listed in a dictionary and their meaning in building language are explained in a lexicon. In the life sciences – e. g. drug development sciences and pharmaceutical medicine – the analogies are evidenced by the - nomic library and patho-physiological function as the lexicon. In this transition from code to function integrated lexica pay a pivotal role for a faster understanding. The present updated version of this books combines dictionary and lexicon and provides the translational - derstanding of the complex drug development process. With a large number of new terms, their abbreviations and explanations in this complex interdisciplinary process a great number of different dis- plines and specialists need to be informed: they include physicians, pharmacists, biologists, chemists, biostatisticians, data managers, - formation specialists, business developers, marketing experts as well as regulators, financing specialists, healthcare providers and ins- ers in a continuous professional development mode. This lexicon is therefore a most suitable and economical tool for fast and conclusive information for all key-players in the development of medicines at the working place, in postgraduate training as well as during graduate education. This book is an indispensible aid in any medical library. Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h. c. Fritz R.

Understanding Medical Terms


Book Description

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION The need for a thorough understanding of medical terminology has not diminished in the least for pharmacists and other health care practitioners in the five years between the publication of the first edition of this book and this second edition. If anything, it has become greater. The pharmacy profession has further solidified its clinical role in patient care, and pharmacists are more entrenched than ever before in the role of counselor and advisor to both patients and practitioners alike. For more than a few pharmacists, what not long ago was an occasional question from a physician about appropriate drug therapy has become regular consultation concerning the interaction of drugs with the patient, his life, and the many other therapies he may be facing. Pharmacy chains, which not long ago installed glass walls to separate the pharmacist from customers, have asked technicians to count pills while pharmacists are in continuous contact with the patient. Such practice changes have increased the demand for clinical knowledge among pharmacists, including a knowledge of medical terminology, and those demands have been passed on to the authors in preparation of the second edition of this book. While the role of the text is still to help pharmacists be more effective interpreters and counselors, some changes have been made in response to reader requests.
