In This Issue

Top of pageRegulating combination products

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance on medical devices ensures the safety, efficacy, and security of drugs released to the public. The introduction of combination products has convoluted the approach historically used by the FDA to regulate single-entity products. Lauritsen details the complications faced by the agency in regulating combination products and the most important issues that must be addressed. See page 468

Top of pageAppraising the safety and efficacy of drug-eluting stents

The use of drug-eluting stents (DESs) in procedures has significantly increased worldwide since their approval by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2003. Although DESs are considered superior to bare-metal stents, safety concerns remain in the wake of reports of late stent thrombosis and myocardial infarction. In response to these concerns, new-generation DESs have been approved and made available for use. Using published clinical data, Maluenda et al. appraise the safety and efficacy of several DESs. See page 474

Top of pageEffect of multiple alleles on efavirenz disposition

Efavirenz (EVF), a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor used for treatment of HIV-1 infection, is primarily metabolized by CYP2B6. Although CYP3A4/3A5 has also been associated with higher EVF exposure, the influence of CYP2A6 polymorphism on EVF pharmacokinetics has not yet been determined. Arab-Alameddine et al. discuss the impact of multiple alleles on EVF disposition. See page 485

Top of pageThe growing role of nanoparticles in brain tumor diagnosis and therapy

Nanoparticle-based contrast agents designed for use in diagnosing brain tumors using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are capable of providing better information on the extent of tumor. The potential to visualize portions of tumors usually not detectable with conventional MRI makes nanoparticles of interest for advancing the diagnosis, operative management, and adjuvant therapy of brain tumors. Orringer et al. discuss the application of nanoparticles to brain tumor diagnosis and therapy and the many reasons that nanoparticles offer the next frontier in the treatment of brain tumors. See page 531

Top of pageBiologics in cardiovascular regenerative medicine

Stem cell–based cardiovascular regenerative medicine plays an integral role in therapy aimed at achieving structural and functional repair of the myocardium. Although experience gained in the clinical setting has shown stem cell–based cardiovascular regenerative medicine to be feasible and safe, the structural and functional benefits of such therapy have not yet reached their full potential. The very low rate of cell retention by the recipient myocardial tissue justifies review of the accumulated data to guide future developments aimed at overcoming this limitation and achieving a better outcome of stem cell delivery.

Pharmacology: Principles and Practice


This unique and much needed textbook meets the rapidly emerging needs of programs training pharmacologic scientists seeking careers in basic research and drug discovery rather than such applied fields as pharmacy and medicine. While the market is crowded with many clinical and therapeutic pharmacology textbooks, the field of pharmacology is booming with the prospects of discovering new drugs, and virtually no extant textbook meets this need at the student level. The market is so bereft of such approaches that many pharmaceutical companies will adopt Hacker, et al. to help train new drug researchers.

The boom in pharmacology is driven by the recent decryption of the human genome and enormous progress in controlling genes and synthesizing proteins, making new and even custom drug design possible. This book makes use of these discoveries in presenting its topics, moving logically from drug receptors to the target molecules drug researchers seek, covering such modern topics along the way as side effects, drug resistance, Pharmacogenomics, and even nutriceuticals one in a string of culminating chapters on the drug discovery process.

*Uses individual drugs to explain molecular actions
*Full color art program explains molecular and chemical concepts graphically
*Logical structure reflecting the current state of pharmacology and translational research, starting with receptors and finishing with target molecules
*Covers such intricacies as drug resistance and cell death
*Consistent format across chapters and pedagogical strategies make this textbook a superior learning tool

Basic Pharmacokinetics

This is the essential guide to the study of absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination of drugs in the body. Pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics courses have been included in pharmacy curricula in the USA and Europe for several years. Pharmacokinetics is the study of absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination of drugs in the body. Pharmacists must understand this to ensure appropriate drug regimen for patients. The scope and the intent of this textbook is to provide the reader with a basic intuitive understanding of the principles of pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics and how these principles, along with the equations presented in each chapter, can be applied to achieve successful drug therapy. The application of pharmacokinetics principles and equations are illustrated by providing the reader with data available in the literature. As pharmacokinetics is basically mathematical in nature, a chapter has been included to provide the reader with a basic review of the mathematical principles and graphing techniques necessary to understand pharmacokinetics. At the start of each chapter, important objectives are listed to accentuate and identify the key points of the chapter. When an important and clinically applicable equation appears in the text a paragraph will follow explaining the significance and therapeutic applications of that equation. Additionally, this paragraph includes and explains relevant factors influencing parameters in an equation. When applicable, at the end of an important equation, a general profile illustrating the relationship between the two variables of an equation will be presented. This approach should make the subject matter much more accessible to the student. Each chapter concludes with related problem sets and problem solving exercises for the student to work through. This should enable the reader to become more adept at solving pharmacokinetic problems arising in drug therapy and understanding the applications and utility of equations in clinical pharmacokinetics and practice. As you can see from the contents, the book is organised into eighteen chapters, the first consists of mathematical principles necessary to understand pharmacokinetics and an overview of the subject matter. The remaining chapters are organised in an order which should be easy for the reader to follow. Clearance and other essential fundamental pharmacokinetic parameters are introduced early in the book as the student will need to apply these concepts in subsequent chapters. A uniform set of notation will be adopted throughout the textbook (a table of which will be at start of the book).

Review:

good not complete

This is a good book to prepare for FPGEE. But there were questions in FPGEE December '06 I have never saw anywhere in this book. This book does not cover Economic, Social, and Administrative Sciences much.

Review:

Excellent Source

This Comprehensive Review is truly a comprehensive edition, in which I found almost all the study materials, except of course some of them, but for the truth it is more than enough....
but One should seek for more study materials and subjects, so as to be able to answer all the questions.

Review:

Great but Needs a Revision

The book is great in that it covers such a wide variety of topics and provides basic knowledge that are essential for a pharmacist, while it explains each topic concisely. It helps me a lot. However, the topics are not logically aligned. On the one hand, similar descriptions appear in more than one chapter, on the other hand, some chapters contain multiple, rather unrelated topics. Sometimes the book is difficult to understand: some drug names, units (mesh for injection purification), formulae (clearance), and seemingly contradicting explanations. The book would become even more helpful if its contents are reshuffled, some alleged typos and editing errors are resolved, and an index is added. Also, the book would shine if it acquires more detailed knowledge of drug metabolism.


Review:

Good for FPGEE but not for NAPLEX

this book is very hepful for taking FPGEE but it have very less role in Naplex.I will tell you all with the my experiance i have studied APHA pharamcy review for naplex whic is the best book.If any body taking naplex please also do Kaptest online which also have lot of patient profiles which actually come for your naplex.KAPLAN review is just helpful after you have studied some theory from some books like APHA.
