Foye's Principles of Medicinal Chemistry 7th Edition

Foye's Principles of Medicinal Chemistry 7th Edition by David A. Williams offers updated chapters plus new material that meets the needs of today's medicinal chemistry courses. This latest edition offers an unparalleled presentation of drug discovery and pharmacodynamic agents, integrating principles of medicinal chemistry with pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and clinical pharmacy.

This text has been fully revised and updated to meet the changing curricula of medicinal chemistry courses. Emphasis is on patient-focused pharmaceutical care and on the pharmacist as a therapeutic consultant, rather than a chemist.

A new disease state management section explains appropriate therapeutic options for asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and men's and women's health problems. Also new to this edition: Clinical Significance boxes, Drug Lists at the beginning of appropriate chapters, and an eight-page color insert with detailed illustrations of drug structures. Case studies from previous editions and answers to this edition's case studies are available online at the Point.

All the chapters have been written by an international team of respected researchers and academicians. Careful editing ensures thoroughness, a consistent style and format, and easy navigation throughout the text. This is still the gold standard against which all other medicinal chemistry books must be judged. It is content rich, yet attempts to relate the discipline to modern clinical practice. It is comprehensive and accessible, and an excellent resource for students as well as professionals seeking to update their knowledge.

The addition of the clinical significance sections alone justifies replacing the previous edition. Following an introduction to drug discovery and its relation to absorption, metabolism, and physiochemical and biopharmaceutical properties of drugs, each of the book's subsequent three parts addresses particular drug classes.

The division of subjects is rational and informative. Of particular note is the last section on disease state management with particularly unique coverage of women's and men's health. It is here that students can see the clinical application of a diverse group, such as gonadal steroids. The clinical vignettes and clinical significance explanations throughout the book are unique and important. The book's main shortcoming (not for me, however), as with many detailed tomes, is its sheer size.

The Clinical Audit in Pharmaceutical Development

The Clinical Audit in Pharmaceutical Development by Michael Hamrell adds quality to the pharmaceutical clinical development process by detailing the need for, and stressing the importance of, an independent audit of clinical data to protect participants and validate study results.

This book examines the use of personal computers, the Internet, and third-party organizations to assist in data validation! Positioning the audit as the only reliable tool to verify that a drug has been shown to be safe and effective in clinical trials, it recommends establishing auditing and quality assurance at the beginning of a clinical study.

This book describes Good Clinical Practices (GCPs) and the role of regulatory agencies in the review, validation, and auditing processes. It outlines the clinical process, from trial design through report writing, compares and contrasts United States and international regulatory statutes, identifies monitoring as the key to guaranteeing high-quality data and focuses on the role of the clinical audit in achieving unity in a multinational study.

Author discusses the worldwide influence of the US Food and Drug Administration audit, analyzes findings from previous FDA clinical audits to reveal trends and future directions, provides guidelines for fraud detection and considers the ramifications of falsified data and more!

Confirming that all clinical information has been properly collected and reported, it is a crucial reference for clinical and research pharmacists and pharmacologists; biostatisticians; clinical research associates, coordinators, and investigators; quality control, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance managers; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.

In particular, this is an important book given recent disclosures regarding fraud and misconduct in clinical research; the audit of clinical trial data is important to avoid this problem in future research. The editor has achieved his stated purpose/objectives. Although the editor does not specify an audience for this text, it would be suitable for a wide range of individuals involved in either designing or auditing clinical trial data.

This would include quality assurance personnel in the pharmaceutical industry or in governmental regulatory agencies, individuals from contract research organizations (CRO), members of institutional review boards (IRB) committees, or clinical investigators. The editor of the text is a consultant in this field; chapters are written by eleven contributors whose expertise appears to be related to the field of quality assurance of clinical trial data. Unfortunately, biographies of these individuals are not provided for the reader.

Biopharmaceutics Applications in Drug Development, Krishna

Biopharmaceutics Applications in Drug Development, by Rajesh Krishna and Lawrence Yu presents an integrated view linking pharmaceutics and the biological consequences to drug development decision making.’ It is written primarily for those who work in the pharmaceutical industry applying biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics, or interacting with formulation scientists.

The book will also be useful for those in academic and research environments. It could be valuable for students of biopharmaceutics in undergraduate or graduate programs in pharmaceutical science, and should find a role as an innovative pharmD curriculum elective. In the last two decades, the discipline of biopharmaceutics has undergone considerable advances, particularly with regard to bioavailability and bioequivalence as they relate to product quality and regulatory standards of approval.

Textbooks in the field have not been able to keep up with the growth of current and emerging applications of regulatory aspects of biopharmaceutics. It fills this gap. This book introduces fundamental concepts, methods, and advances in the areas of dissolution, absorption, and permeability and their key applications in dosage form performance.

Case studies are used to discuss the applications of biopharmaceutic strategies in the development of successful drugs, with a specific focus on the applications of biopharmaceutic strategies in the development of successful drugs. The book presents an integrated view in linking pharmaceutic to the biological consequences of drug products and leverages those for decision making in drug development.

Guide to Drug Development: A Comprehensive Review & Assessment

Guide to Drug Development: A Comprehensive Review & Assessment by Bert Spilker offers comprehensive review of the principles and activities involved in developing new drugs, devices, and other medical products. The book covers many topics not discussed in any other textbook and includes timely discussions on electronic clinical trials, registries of clinical trials, data mining, computer simulations and modeling, and changing regulatory standards.

Each chapter includes practical tips, lessons, guides, firsthand stories, quotes from experts, and three to six questions for group discussion. The last three chapters present twelve case studies each on clinical trials, regulatory affairs, and management of drug development. It will be the standard reference text for everyone working on or studying drug discovery or development, in industry, academia, hospitals, government, and independent laboratories.

Representative excerpts from the text include trial design issues when the use of placebos is unethical.One of the reasons that using a placebo is unethical in some trials is that the IRB/EC wants to ensure that patients will not deteriorate physically. In this situation, it may be possible to inform the IRB that, if patients are randomized to placebo or active drug, then any patients who deteriorate when assessed at Day X will be dropped from the trial and given the standard therapy for their disease.

On the other hand, the issue may be that the IRB wants to go further and assure patients that they will improve and not simply remain stable. In this situation, the protocol can read that all patients will be assessed on Day X and any who have not improved by a predefined amount will be dropped from the trial. Both of these examples are referred to as fail-safe designs because anyone who fails to meet the standards at any clinic visit will be removed from the trial and placed on active therapy.

While where are some trials where additional sites are required to enroll more patients, it is often the last approach that should be considered because often there are other reasons for the lower-than-planned number of patients enrolled. This is mentioned because the author still hears from companies that want to add new sites to a trial as soon as they learn that recruitment is slower than desired, but they have not investigated the reasons for this situation. The primary principle is to identify the real cause(s) of the recruitment problem and to see whether the issue is the same at each site or varies from site to site.

Fractured Minds: A Case-Study Approach to Clinical Neuropsychology 2e

Fractured Minds: A Case-Study Approach to Clinical Neuropsychology 2nd Edition by Jenni Ogden introduces the reader to clinical neuropsychology through vivid case descriptions of adults who have suffered brain damage. At one level, this is a book about the courage, humor, and determination to triumph over illness and disability that many "ordinary people" demonstrate when coping with the extraordinary stress of a brain disorder.

On another level, it is a well-referenced and up-to-date textbook that provides a holistic view of the practice of clinical neuropsychology. Included are reader-friendly descriptions and explanations of a wide range of neurological disorders and neuroscientific concepts. Two introductory chapters are followed by 17 chapters that each focus on a specific disorder and include research, clinical assessment, rehabilitation, and a detailed case study.

Disorders range across the full spectrum from common ones such as traumatic brain injury and dementia, to rare disorders such as autotopagnosia. Each of the 16 chapters retained from the first edition has been revised to reflect current research and clinical advances. Three new chapters on multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease incorporate discussion of important current topics such as genetically-transmitted diseases, genetic counseling, gene transplantation, functional neurosurgery, and the complex ethical issues that go hand-in-hand with these new techniques.

This informative and engaging book will be of interest to students of clinical psychology, neuropsychology, and neurology, health professionals who work with neurological patients, neurological patients and their families, and lay readers who are simply fascinated by the mind and brain.

Although this book is very different than others in the field, its incorporation of the human element makes it stand out as a 'must have.' The second edition offers new chapters on multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease, and improves previous chapters with new medical information and patient updates.

Handbook of Psychiatric Drug Therapy 6th Edition

Handbook of Psychiatric Drug Therapy 6th Edition, by Lawrence A. Labbate, Maurizio Fava, Jerrold F. Rosenbaum and George W. Arana describe the essential facts about all drugs used to treat anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, psychotic disorders, substance abuse disorders, sleep disorders, dementia, and attention deficit disorder.

Coverage of each drug includes mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, interactions, method of use, and caveats regarding special populations such as pregnant and elderly patients. The book gives specific prescribing recommendations—including dosage and duration of use—for individual drugs. Tables provide at-a-glance information and a disease-specific table of contents directs readers quickly to relevant drug chapters.

This book remains an essential tool for the busy resident in psychiatric training, the psychiatrist preparing for board examinations, and the clinical practitioner in psychiatry and allied professions. Much like a new car, a few changes in the body design may surprise fans of the earlier editions, but like earlier editions, this handbook will become a well-thumbed resource for clinical practice.

The purpose is to provide a comprehensive, easy-to-use reference of psychotherapeutic drugs that are commonly used in clinical practice by the clinician. It is targeted at anyone dealing with psychotropics and mental disorders such as students, residents, clinicians, and nurses.

This is essentially a handbook/pocket reference of vital clinical information on the major classes of psychotherapeutic drugs. It has a very practical and clinical format in contrast to a theoretical psychopharmacology book. Drugs are based on clinical disorders with a nice description of the clinical disorders, pharmacokinetics, mechanism of action, indications etc. While most of the information is evidence-based, clinical consensus is taken when controlled trials are not available.

The authors address difficult clinical situations and give practical information on overcoming these situations that we all see in clinical settings. The authors take into account the variance that we see in patient populations and advise based on this. Information is presented in easy to read graphs, charts and tables for quick reference. For a pocket reference, this book contains a wealth of practical information.

The book is written in a very practical, user-friendly clinical format differentiating itself from others in this category. It is an absolute must-have pocket reference for anyone dealing with patients in a clinical setting. Extensive tables present key findings on clinical trials, indications, dosage, efficacy and side effects.

Primer of Drug Action 12th Edition by Robert M. Julien

Primer of Drug Action 12th Edition, by Robert M. Julien, Claire D. Advokat and Joseph Comaty describes general principles of each class of psychoactive drugs and specific information about each drug within that class. It looks at mechanisms of action, theories about etiologies of major psychological disorders and rationale for drug treatment, and uses and limitations of psychopharmacology. It also includes basic explanations of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.

Author keeps pace with one of the most dynamic fields of scientific inquiry, giving students immediate access to the most current research and promising new directions in psychopharmacology. Rigorously updated throughout, the new edition again takes its place as the definitive guide to the drugs that affect the mind and behavior. As always, it is clear, comprehensive, objective, and authoritative, spanning a wide variety of drug types, including sedatives, depressants, stimulants, analgesics, psychedelic drugs, steroids, and drugs used to treat psychological disorders.

Drugs of compulsive use are emphasized. Each of the 20 chapters examines current and future directions in drug research (including drugs not yet available for clinical use). An interesting new chapter on herbal medications has been added. A brief glossary is included. This is a bold attempt to capture the explosion of knowledge about psychoactive substances. This is a good, comprehensive review that has organized and presented a massive amount of often disparate information into a comprehensible, easy to use book.

All 20 chapters in the new edition have been rewritten with an extensive overhaul of citations (about 40% new). Chapter 3, The Nervous System has a new and extensive anatomical art program. There are updated discussions of newly available drugs and increased coverage of new drugs such as anxiolytics, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and antipsychotics with more discussion of herbal drugs, which are becoming increasingly prevalent.

There are updating and expansion of two chapters, child psychopharmacology and geriatric psychopharmacology, to include the growing information about the use of medications in these populations. Certain chapters are well illustrated, more so than others. However, it would be nice to have more tables for a quick reference. References in the book are pertinent and up-to-date.

What makes this book stand out from others is its presentation of a complex subject, particularly the discussion of the mechanisms of action of medications and drugs of abuse, in a very readable format and language. It is a good introduction to psychopharmacology and drugs of abuse, including alcohol. It is very useful for professionals in allied health sciences. The book can also be a good quick reference for the busy physician if more tables can be added to supplement the text.

Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists 7e

Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists 7th Edition, by John D. Preston, John H. O'Neal and Mary C. Talaga has become the go-to resource for thousands of mental health clinicians seeking a reliable and easy-to-reference resource detailing the indications, contraindications, and side effects of psychopharmaceuticals.

Organized by disorder and, within each disorder, by medication, this book is a vital addition to any clinician or student’s bookshelf. This revision includes an important new chapter on withdrawing from psychopharmacological medications that will prove useful for therapists seeking to help their clients change medication or stop taking a psychopharmacological medication. Now in its seventh edition, the book continues to be among the most important references in the field of mental health.

This book belongs on the desk of every psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, social worker, or anyone who works with clients who are taking psychoactive drugs. Also, anyone teaching or interested in abnormal psychology will find it indispensible. The authors manage, with judicious use of well-designed tables and clear, concise writing, to fill a gap in the current literature.

The book is logically organized into 3 major sections. The first, “Understanding Psychopharmacology: The Basics,” is easily the most academic of the three. Liberal use of case histories and sidebars with interesting anecdotal information, however, make it surprisingly readable and user-friendly.

The second section, “Clinical Syndromes: Etiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment Implications,” is the largest and most clinical segment. In it the reader will find a comprehensive list and description of the most common psychiatric disorders. Included in these descriptions are helpful suggestions regarding possible drugs and medical conditions that cause similar behavioral patterns as well as guidelines for when nonmedical practitioners should consider referral for medication treatment.

The third section, “Medications and Pharmacologic Treatment,” contains the information that I was initially looking for. Again the authors organize their material in a logical and clinically useful manner on the basis of major drug categories. They also provide handy thumb-tabs along with numerous charts and tables relating to issues such as dose guidelines, common side effects, special considerations, and treatment algorithms.

The book ends with 8 appendices intended for readers looking for a more in-depth discussion of topics mentioned earlier in the book. Included here are an expanded review of pharmacokinetics, numerous tables listing psychotropic drug interactions, an outline for performing a neurocognitive mental status exam, and a reference list of books to recommend to patients.

Basic and Clinical Pharmacology 12th Edition, Katzung

Basic and Clinical Pharmacology 12th Edition, by Bertram Katzung, Susan Masters and Anthony Trevor describe the important concepts students need to know about the science of pharmacology and its application to clinical practice. Selection of the subject matter and order of its presentation are based on the authors’ many years experience in teaching this material to thousands of medical, pharmacy, dental, podiatry, nursing, and other health science students.

To be as clinically relevant as possible, the book includes sections that specifically address the clinical choice and use of drugs in patients and the monitoring of their effects, and case studies that introduce clinical problems in many chapters. Presented in full color and enhanced by more than three hundred illustrations, this book features numerous summary tables and diagrams that encapsulate important information.

Coverage that spans every aspect of medical pharmacology basic principles, autonomic drugs, cardiovascular-renal drugs, drugs with important actions on smooth muscles, central nervous system drugs, drugs used to treat anemias, clotting disorders, hyperlipidemia, and inflammation and gout, endocrine drugs, chemotherapeutic and immunologic drugs, toxicology, special subjects (perinatal, geriatric, and dermatologic pharmacology), botanical and "food supplements," and over-the-counter medications.

Drug Summary Tables conclude most chapters, providing a concise summary of the most important drugs. There are general concepts relating to newly discovered receptors, receptor mechanisms, and drug transporters with descriptions of important new drugs, including monoclonal antibodies. The book also offers special features that make it a useful reference for house officers and practicing clinicians.

Information is organized according to the sequence used in many pharmacology courses and in integrated curricula: basic principles; autonomic drugs; cardiovascular-renal drugs; drugs with important actions on smooth muscle; central nervous system drugs; drugs used to treat inflammation, gout, and diseases of the blood; endocrine drugs; chemotherapeutic drugs; toxicology; and special topics. This sequence builds new information on a foundation of information already assimilated.

For example, early presentation of autonomic nervous system pharmacology allows students to integrate the physiology and neuroscience they have learned elsewhere with the pharmacology they are learning and prepares them to understand the autonomic effects of other drugs. This is especially important for the cardiovascular and central nervous system drug groups. However, chapters can be used equally well in courses and curricula that present these topics in a different sequence.

Within each chapter, emphasis is placed on discussion of drug groups and prototypes rather than offering repetitive detail about individual drugs. Selection of the subject matter and the order of its presentation are based on the accumulated experience of teaching this material to thousands of medical, pharmacy, dental, podiatry, nursing, and other health science students.

Major features that make this book particularly useful in integrated curricula include sections that specifically address the clinical choice and use of drugs in patients and the monitoring of their effects—in other words, clinical pharmacology is an integral part of this text. Lists of the commercial preparations available, including trade and generic names and dosage formulations, are provided at the end of each chapter for easy reference by the house officer or practitioner writing a chart order or prescription.

Explain Pain by David Butler and Lorimer Moseley

Explain Pain, by David Butler, PT and Dr. Lorimer Moseley and Sunyata is an evidence based book designed for therapists, patients and students. It answers the most common questions asked by pain sufferers: 'why do I hurt?' and 'what can I do for my pain?' Written in simple language that anyone can understand, it encourages patients to move better and research shows that they will have less pain once they have understood its underlying causes.

Every Physical Therapist (PT) should incorporate this book into their chronic pain patient's regiment. Your PT should also take the time to discuss it with you. Just as important - you need to communicate with your PT as to what is going on with you physically and what is running through your mind. You have to be a team.

This is a great book. It is packed with the right messages for patients and healthcare providers and presented in a visually pleasing format. I highly recommend it for one's patient library and as an introductory summary for those who are entering the field of pain management.

David Butler, PT is in high demand as a lecturer, educator and an accomplished author. He has written and co-authored many publications blending manual therapy skills with neuro-biological evidence and clinical decision-making skills.

Anesthesiologist's Manual of Surgical Procedures 4e, Jaffe

Anesthesiologist's Manual of Surgical Procedures 4th Edition by Richard A. Jaffe offers comprehensive guide to the anesthetic and perioperative management of patients during all procedures performed by general and subspecialist surgeons.

The book explains each procedure from both the surgeon's and the anesthesiologist's perspective, presents details on anesthetic technique, and guides the anesthesiologist and surgeon through the decisions that must be made before, during, and after surgery. Emphasis is on factors that impact the anesthesiologist, including patient positioning, duration of surgery, and complications.

The Fourth Edition covers almost 40 new surgical procedures, with an increased focus on laparoscopic and endovascular procedures. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and an image bank. The editors do an excellent job of bringing the perspectives of both anesthesia and surgery to each procedure, and include more than 700 procedures. A significant addition to this edition is chapters devoted to office based anesthesia and emergency procedures.

The surgical considerations section concludes with a summary of procedures. This section provides a fascinating insight into the surgical perspective on perioperative care. Aside from information on positioning, special instrumentation required, the incision, and predicted surgical time, a valuable information mine is present in the form of the ‘unique considerations’ section.

These sections often reveal the operating conditions that the surgeon is expecting to be provided by the anaesthetist. While mainly being extremely useful, especially in the cases of surgical procedures unfamiliar to the reader, sometimes surgical requirements appear more than a little prescriptive, perhaps due to the slightly different dynamic in the relationship between the American surgeon and the anaesthetist. Nowhere is this more apparent than the postoperative care sections.

Anaesthetic considerations are always divided into the familiar headings of preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative. These sections are clearly and very competently written and provide concise information on anaesthetic technique, pathophysiology relevant to individual conditions, preoperative investigations, and postoperative complications.

The book concludes with a section entitled ‘Emergency Procedures for the Anesthesiologist’, which outlines techniques for performing procedures such as pericardiocentesis and arterial cutdown. This chapter appears a little ectopic, and is well covered in other, more conventional textbooks of anaesthesia. Similarly, the appendices covering topics as diverse as preoperative laboratory testing, perioperative beta-blockade, and ‘standard adult anesthetic protocols’, while well and clearly written, are quite heavily influenced by local practice and again are better covered elsewhere.

Low Back Disorders: Evidence-Based Prevention and Rehabilitation 2e

Low Back Disorders: Evidence-Based Prevention and Rehabilitation 2nd Edition by Stuart McGill presents a clear exposition of back anatomy and biomechanics and demonstrates how to interpret the latest research on low back involvement for clinical applications. The text also contains detailed information on injuries associated with seated work and sport and ergonomic issues related to manual handling of materials.

With this text, you will gain valuable information on measured loading of the back during specific activities and apply it to avoid common—but counterproductive—practices in back rehabilitation; learn how to analyze each patient's or client's unique physical characteristics and lifestyle factors to tailor preventive measures and treatments to individual needs; learn how to help patients and clients progress through the stages of rehabilitation: corrective exercise, stability or mobility, endurance, and strength; and acquire the information necessary to design an effective injury-prevention program.

This fully updated second edition expands knowledge of low back disorders and best practices in several areas. Enhanced algorithms guide progessive therapeutic exercise, and specially designed patient assessment provocation tests aid you in determining the cause of back troubles, guide your choices in the best ways to eliminate problems, and improve the development of appropriate activities for functional gain.

Whereas the first edition focused on increasing spine stability, the second edition provides new information on dealing with both regional instability or mobility and regional stiffness present in individuals where most of the motion occurs at a single spinal segment. With an expanded repertoire of pain-free motion exercises and additional information on ways to find and adjust stabilization exercises, it offers you new tools to help your patients and clients achieve pain-free exertion.

The text includes exercises and activities that provide a solid foundation of physical work in preparation for more advanced activities in sports and occupations. Also, the process of transitioning into performance exercise is outlined with an explanation of the critical stages of the performance pyramid, including the design of appropriate corrective exercise, building joint and whole-body stability, enhancing endurance, training true strength, and transitioning to ultimate performance.

This text presents foundational information and corresponding clinical applications in a clear, well-sequenced format. Part I builds your knowledge of lumbar function and injury. Part II demonstrates how to use this knowledge to build evidence-based injury-prevention programs by assessing risks, creating ergonomic interventions, and training personnel. Part III focuses on improving rehabilitation techniques, including specific diagnostic and provocative tests, with specific therapeutic exercises proven to enhance performance and reduce pain through a continuum from corrective exercise to stability and mobility, endurance, strength, and power.

Additionally, the text offers these practical features to guide your learning and inform your practice. There are more than 475 photos, graphs, and charts support the research and the scientific basis for the text's conclusions. More than 50 tests and exercises with step-by-step instructions help you develop successful programs for your patients and clients.
