Progress in Medicinal Chemistry (ISSN Book 46) 1st Edition

 Miscellaneous  Comments Off on Progress in Medicinal Chemistry (ISSN Book 46) 1st Edition
Aug 292024
 

Appropriate selection of biochemical targets is one of the most important drivers of cost effectiveness in the discovery of new medicines. Despite the many advances in genetics, genomics and systems biology, ‘validation’ of a target is not achieved until therapeutic efficacy is demonstrated by a drug candidate. Volume 46 of this series reviews the medicinal chemistry aimed at six diverse targets from which important new medicines are emerging: * HIV integrase (discovery of the first-in-class inhibitor drug raltegravir)* 11-beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (new approach to glucocorticoid regulation)* Nicotinic a7 choline receptor (agonists and positive allosteric modulators). * Bradykinin receptor (new approach to pain therapy)* Histone deacetylase (new drugs for cancer)* 5-HT2c receptor modulators (various CNS indications)

 

*Presents the latest research in the field of drug discovery *Publishes on an annual basis to bring you the most innovative updates in medicinal chemistry *Available as an online resource via ScienceDirect

Oxford Handbook of Geriatric Medicine 3e (Oxford Medical Handbooks) 3rd Edition

 Geriatrics  Comments Off on Oxford Handbook of Geriatric Medicine 3e (Oxford Medical Handbooks) 3rd Edition
Aug 282024
 

This new edition of the Oxford Handbook in Geriatric Medicine has been expanded and updated to reflect the substantial changes in clinical practice since the previous edition, including the Francis report and the impact on care for the older patient, the National Dementia Strategy and
screening, and the evolution of the role of Geriatricians in other specialities. It includes new material on risk scoring management of TIA, and a new chapter on the older surgical patient.

With an ageing population, geriatric medicine is increasingly central to emergency and internal medicine in hospital settings and in general practice. Diseases are more common in the older person, and can be particularly difficult to assess and to treat effectively in a field that has limited
evidence, yet makes up a substantial proportion of the work of most clinicians. Using clinical vignettes and how-to boxes to provide practical advice on common problems, this is a practical, accessible, and essential handbook for all medical staff who manage older patients.

Review

“The book gives a very good overview of the main and most common areas of elderly care … it has a really good, user-friendly layout and covers a wide range of conditions in a simplified way.” — BMA reviewing panel, BMA Medical Book Awards 2019

“… Packed with clinical tips and case examples to help put knowledge into practice, […] this comprehensive handbook is well worth the investment and lends itself to being used in day-to-day clinical practice.” — A Illsley, British Journal of Hospital Medicine
