Book excerpt: This book is the 4th in a series of Acute Care books written with the aim to address the NEEDS of health care providers when handling the acutely ill patients. Globally it has become apparent that the study of pharmacology and subsequent clinical training has not always adequately equipped young doctors with the ability to administer drugs to their patients safely and confidently, particularly in the critically ill patient. Compounding this issue is the lack of resource material related to these pharmacological concepts contained in one book that can help health care providers to understand and manage drug therapy in the acute situation. In spite of progressively newer and more developed protocols, guidelines, algorithms and many other books addressing the technical aspects of what needs to be done, most health care providers still find it difficult to grasp the basic pharmacological knowledge and rationally deliver the CARE that is required in the acute phase of patient management. The editors/authors have therefore aimed for a book that highlights topics and pharmacological issues pertinent to management of patients in their hour of need. This is a multi-author book but the style has been guided by 3 editors. The editors have used a different perspective – that of normalizing abnormal physiological processes with pharmacological agents – to address the GAPS in a bedside to bench approach. The details are pared down but important principles/concepts are emphasized.

Book excerpt: Delivers the critical information primary care providers need to be thoroughly informed prescribers This unique resource—an evidence-based pharmacology text and reference for advanced practice students and clinicians—guides users in analyzing the pharmacological foundations of drug therapy and fosters the development of sound clinical judgment in determining the appropriate medication for every patient across the lifespan. Targeting the specific needs of APRN and PA students and clinicians, the text is a “bridge” between standard, lengthy pharmacology texts and quick pocket references that lack information regarding key pharmacotherapy principles. Featuring an applied therapeutic approach to major disorders and their pharmacologic treatment, the book examines how medications act on the body and visa versa, while teaching the rationale for using specific therapeutic agents or drug classes. Each chapter includes case studies that apply the concepts discussed, relevant diagnostic studies, applicable guidelines, genomics, and important lifespan considerations. Of special interest is a chapter on pharmacogenetics explaining the basic principles underlying our current understanding of genetic variations in response to pharmacotherapy and adverse drug reactions. Easily digestible chapters include objectives and review questions. Ancillary resources include an instructor manual with learning objectives, chapter summaries, and case studies; chapter PowerPoint slides; test bank; and image bank. Key Features: Delivers an applied, evidence-based foundation on the basic science underlying prescribing Targets the specific needs of APRN and PA students and professionals and related healthcare providers Provides clinical decision-making tools and principles to support sound prescribing judgment Focuses on synthesizing drugs to manage commonly occurring disorders Includes strategies for addressing the needs of specific populations throughout the lifespan Includes abundant case studies illuminating key concepts Includes a robust instructor manual with learning objectives, chapter summaries, and case studies; PowerPoint slides; test bank; and image bank.

Book excerpt: Pharmacology is a dynamic and multifaceted field that lies at the heart of modern healthcare. It encompasses the study of how drugs interact with biological systems to produce therapeutic effects, as well as their mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, and therapeutic uses. As the landscape of pharmacotherapy continues to evolve, it is essential for healthcare professionals to have a comprehensive understanding of pharmacological principles and their clinical applications. This book, "Pharmacology – Theory," is crafted with the aim of providing students, educators, and practitioners with a thorough and accessible resource that explores the fundamental concepts and practical aspects of pharmacology. Designed as a comprehensive guide, it covers a wide range of topics, from the basic principles of drug administration to the pharmacology of various organ systems and drug classes. The journey through pharmacology begins with an exploration of the fundamental concepts in drug administration, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Understanding these processes is crucial for optimizing drug therapy and ensuring patient safety. Building upon this foundation, the book delves into the pharmacology of drugs acting on the peripheral and central nervous systems, cardiovascular system, blood and blood-forming organs, respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, and kidney. Each section of the book is meticulously structured to provide a detailed examination of the pharmacological principles underlying the therapeutic use of drugs within specific organ systems. In addition to discussing the pharmacological actions, indications, contraindications, and dosages of various drug classes, the book also highlights the clinical relevance of pharmacological concepts through the integration of case studies and real-world examples. Special attention is given to the unique considerations and challenges encountered within the Indian healthcare system. By incorporating pertinent examples and case studies from the Indian context, we aim to enhance the relevance and applicability of pharmacological principles for Indian pharmacy professionals, students, and educators.
