Drug Delivery to the Brain: Physiological Concepts, Methodologies and Approaches (AAPS Advances in the Pharmaceutical Sciences Series)

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=1461491045]

The development of new CNS drugs is notoriously difficult. Drugs must reach CNS target sites for action and these sites are protected by a number of barriers, the most important being the blood –brain barrier (BBB). Many factors are therefore critical to consider for CNS drug delivery, e.g. active/passive transport across the BBB, intra-brain distribution, and central/systemic pharmacokinetics, to name a few. Neurological disease and trauma conditions add further complexity because CNS barriers, drug distribution and pharmacokinetics are dynamic and often changed by disease/trauma. Knowledge of all these factors and their interplay in different conditions is of utmost importance for proper CNS drug development and disease treatment. In recent years much information has become available for a better understanding of the many factors important for CNS drug delivery and how they interact to affect drug action. This book describes small and large drug delivery to the brain with an emphasis on the physiology of the BBB and the principles and concepts for drug delivery across the BBB and distribution within the brain. It contains methods descriptions for studying drug delivery, routes and approaches of administering drugs into the brain, the influence of disease, and drug industry perspectives. Therewith, it contributes to an in-depth understanding of the interplay between brain (patho)-physiology and drug characteristics. Furthermore, the content is designed to be both cutting-edge and educational, so that the book can be used in high-level training of academic and industry scientists with full references to original publications.

Treating the Disruptive Adolescent: Finding the Real Self Behind Oppositional Defiant Disorders

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=0765702355]

This book offers clinicians an effective method of diagnosing, managing, and treating oppositional, resistant, and disruptive older children and adolescents. Dr. Bustamante understands oppositional states as an expression of the teenager’s uncertainty about his own identity and alienation from his true self. Attempts to curb rebellion that rely solely on firm behavioral limits will fail, because they thwart rather than promote development and disregard the real meaning of the disruptive behavior. The author’s approach is a sensitive and creative alternative to treating this difficult population, one that offers hope and attainable goals.

The Doctor Crisis: How Physicians Can, and Must, Lead the Way to Better Health Care

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=1610394437]

Calming fears, alleviating suffering, enhancing and saving lives—this is what motivates doctors virtually every single day. When the structure and culture in which physicians work are well aligned, being a doctor is a most rewarding job. But something has gone wrong in the physician world, and it is urgent that we fix it.

Fundamental flaws in the US health care system make it more difficult and less rewarding than ever to be a doctor. The convergence of a complex amalgam of forces prevents primary care and specialty physicians from doing what they most want to do: Put their patients first at every step in the care process every time. Barriers include regulation, bureaucracy, the liability burden, reduced reimbursements, and much more. Physicians must accept the responsibility for guiding our nation toward a better health care delivery system, but the pathway forward—amidst jarring changes in our health care system—is not always clear.

In The Doctor Crisis, Dr. Jack Cochran, executive director of The Permanente Federation, and author Charles Kenney show how we can improve health care on a grassroots level, regardless of political policy disputes, by improving conditions for physicians and asking them to take on broader accountability; by calling on physicians to be effective leaders as well as excellent clinicians. The authors clarify the necessary steps required to enable physicians to focus on patient care and offer concrete ideas for establishing systems that place patients’ needs above all else. Cochran and Kenney make a compelling case that fixing the doctor crisis is a prerequisite to achieving access to quality and affordable health care throughout the United States.

Clinical and Fieldwork Placement in the Health Profession 2nd Edition

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=0195519604]

In all health professions, students are required to spend a certain number of hours in a healthcare setting working within their discipline-specific profession. This requirement is essential to becoming a competent health professional and practitioner. Clinical and Fieldwork Placement in the Health Professions, second edition, helps to prepare students for their work in clinical and fieldwork settings.

The text is divided into three parts. Part 1 Issues for Practice presents information that is important for students and supervisors to know-regardless of the clinical setting. This includes how to get the most out of your fieldwork, working in teams and how to prepare for placement. Part 2 Contexts of Practice explores various clinical settings (i.e. working with mothers and babies, working in acute care, working in mental health) and guides the student through what to prepare for, what to expect and issues that would be helpful to be aware of during placement. Part 3 Transition to Practice provides information on the transition from student to fieldwork educator and on some of the issues involved in supervision of a student.

This second edition continues to encourage multidisciplinary practice, reinforcing that the key to good health practice is to have all health professionals working together successfully with shared skills in reflective practice, engaging clients in care and ethical practice. New to this edition are chapters on ‘Working in Palliative Care’ and ‘Becoming a Reflective Practitioner’, more detail on the competency standards for students on placement, and new pedagogical features-‘Supervisor Profiles’ to help students prepare for clinical placements in various settings, and ‘Portfolio Development Exercises’ to help shape a students’ professional practice portfolio.
