Therapeutics and Human Physiology: How drugs work

Editat de Elsie Gaskell Chris Rostron
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 feb 2013

Destinat cu precădere studenților la farmacie aflați la începutul parcursului academic, dar și rezidenților sau specialiștilor care doresc o revizuire a bazelor biologice, volumul Therapeutics and Human Physiology reprezintă o resursă clinică esențială sub egida Oxford University Press. Subliniem modul în care editorul Elsie Gaskell reușește să sintetizeze procese fiziologice complexe, explicând nu doar cum funcționează un medicament, ci mai ales cum răspunde organismul uman la nivel sistemic. Structura textului facilitează o înțelegere integrată a drumului parcurs de o moleculă, de la administrare până la efectul terapeutic în afecțiuni diverse, de la banalele cefalee până la patologii severe precum cancerul.

Observăm un echilibru riguros între teorie și aplicabilitate: cele peste 80 de ilustrații color nu sunt simple adaosuri estetice, ci instrumente didactice care clarifică mecanismele de acțiune celulară. Acolo unde Pharmacy Practice de Jason Hall acoperă aspectele logistice și profesionale ale rolului farmacistului în sistemul de sănătate, acest volum aprofundează fundamentul științific al interacțiunii dintre substanța chimică și fiziologia umană. Credem că includerea studiilor de caz și a secțiunilor de autoevaluare online transformă lectura dintr-un proces pasiv într-un exercițiu de pregătire pentru practica reală. Reținem, de asemenea, că această lucrare face parte din seria Integrated Foundations of Pharmacy, ceea ce garantează o abordare pedagogică modernă, adaptată standardelor actuale de predare în domeniul farmaceutic.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte pentru claritatea cu care explică mecanismele farmacologice în contextul fiziologiei umane. Cititorul câștigă o viziune integrată asupra modului în care medicamentele interacționează cu sistemele corpului, sprijinită de 80 de diagrame color și resurse digitale de autoevaluare. Este un instrument indispensabil pentru a transforma cunoștințele teoretice despre molecule în competențe practice de dispensare și consiliere a pacientului.


Despre autor

Elsie Gaskell este un cadru didactic și cercetător respectat, specializat în educația farmaceutică. În calitate de editor pentru Oxford University Press, ea coordonează volume care pun accent pe integrarea științelor fundamentale în practica clinică. Contribuția sa în seria Integrated Foundations of Pharmacy, alături de Chris Rostron, reflectă un angajament pentru modernizarea curriculei de farmacie, punând la dispoziția studenților materiale care fac legătura între chimia farmaceutică, fiziologie și nevoile reale ale pacienților în sistemul de sănătate contemporan.


Descriere

Taking medication is a common occurrence for many people, whether it is to soothe an aching head, regulate blood sugars, or to treat life threatening conditions, such as HIV or cancer. In the UK alone, over 900 million prescriptions are dispensed every year. Overseeing all of this are pharmacists: experts in medicines and their use. The Integrated Foundations of Pharmacy series supports those who are at the beginning of their journey to become a pharmacist. The reader will begin to understand how a drug molecule is made; the process that turns it into a medicine; the role the pharmacist has when dispensing that medicine; and what happens in the body when it is taken. Most importantly, the series shows how each of these aspects are integrated, reflecting the most up-to-date teaching practices. Therapeutics and Human Physiology: how medicines work introduces the range of physiological processes occurring in the different body systems, and shows how they respond to drugs that are administered.Online Resource CentreThe Online Resource Centre to accompany Therapeutics and Human Physiology: how medicines work features:For registered adopters of the book:- Figures from the book, available to download.For students:- Self-assessment questions to help the reader to check and reinforce understanding of the material introduced in each chapter.

Recenzii

The book explains concepts very well, using clear, concise language. The scientific content forms a good foundation on which to build over subsequent years and brings in useful and interesting examples to enable students to appreciate the direct relevance of the subject matter to their understanding of therapeutics.
This textbook combines the relevant basic molecular biology, physiology and anatomy with the basic mechanisms of pharmacology into a coherent package for first year pharmacy students.
A particularly valuable addition to the learning and teaching of pharmacotherapeutics ... a concise and easy read.
Whilst the book is selectively aimed to those in the earlier stages of their degree, I would not hesitate in recommending the title as it is able to do something that few books before have done, in producing a resource that is both informative and user-friendly to the new university student.
I would definitely recommend this book to other pharmacy students. The information provided is significant to the degree and further pharmacy practice. Case studies are given relating to pharmacy practice which will help practical skills. A good reference source to refer to in the later stages of your career.
