Book Synopsis Drug Interactions in Infectious Diseases by : Stephen C. Piscitelli
Download or read book Drug Interactions in Infectious Diseases written by Stephen C. Piscitelli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-10-28 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 25 years, the world’s population has witnessed an explosion in kno- edge about infectious diseases. The global population is coming to the realization that diseases long recognized to cause substantial suffering, such as malaria, tuberculosis, schistosomiasis, and hepatitis, can be diagnosed and treated, and that transmission can be prevented using tools that are available, and which may be becoming increasingly affordable. The global population is recognizing that few infections are local: the travel of humans, other animals, insects, and food transport pathogens around the world, often with astonishing rapidity. New pathogens are appearing, either newly recognized or newly developing, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), avian inf- enza, metapneumovirus, or hepatitis C, which are causing human morbidity and m- tality. Finally, there is growing fear that dangerous pathogens may be intentionally introduced into human populations by deranged individuals or terrorist organizations. The potential to use drugs or biologic agents to treat and prevent infectious diseases has increased dramatically over the past quarter century as we have learned more about the biology of many of these agents, and as we have developed techniques to discover new agents by high throughput screening programs and by sophisticated drug design and synthesis.

Book Synopsis Mechanisms of Drug Interactions by : Patrick F. D'Arcy
Download or read book Mechanisms of Drug Interactions written by Patrick F. D'Arcy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years a number of excellent books have classified and detailed drug drug interactions into their respective categories, e.g. interactions at plasma protein binding sites; those altering intestinal absorption or bioavailability; those involving hepatic metabolising enzymes; those involving competition or antagonism for receptor sites, and drug interactions modifying excretory mechanisms. Such books have presented extensive tables of interactions and their management. Although of considerable value to clinicians, such publica tions have not, however, been so expressive about the individual mechanisms that underlie these interactions. It is within this sphere of "mechanisms" that this present volume specialises. It deals with mechanisms of in vitro and in vivo, drug-drug, drug food and drug-herbals interactions and those that cause drugs to interfere with diagnostic laboratory tests. We believe that an explanation of the mechanisms of such interactions will enable practitioners to understand more fully the nature of the interactions and thus enable them to manage better their clinical outcome. If mechanisms of interactions are better understood, then it may be pos sible for the researcher to develop meaningful animal/biochemical/tissue cul ture or physicochemical models to which new molecules could be exposed during their development stages. The present position, which largely relies on patients experiencing adverse interactions before they can be established or documented, can hardly be regarded as satisfactory. This present volume is classified into two major parts; firstly, pharmacoki netic drug interactions and, secondly, pharmacodynamic drug interactions.
Book Synopsis HIV Drug Interaction Guide: DDI by : Paul A. Pham
Download or read book HIV Drug Interaction Guide: DDI written by Paul A. Pham and published by Knowledge Source Solutions. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debuting the 2012 DDI Guide; the definitive reference for ARV Drug Interactions. This resource uses full color charts to cross-reference all ARV's with hundreds of commonly prescribed concomitant medications. The management of HIV infection is rapidly evolving and becoming increasingly complex. In many cases, the medication profile of patients is extensive and complex. As a result, there is a high potential for clinically significant drug interaction. Computerized pharmacy systems can detect some drug-drug interactions and decrease the number of inappropriate prescriptions. However, a limitation of such system is the inability to update the information beyond the FDA approved labeling. The goal of this book is to present a practical approach to the management of drug interactions to clinicians caring for HIV-infected patients. Also, since many drug combinations have not been formally studied, the authors attempt to predict potential drug interaction based on pharmacologic principle
