The realisation that epithelial tissues are not simply passive barriers to the adsorption of materials into internal environments has brought about an enormous growth of investigation of mucosal functions and their active and passive protective roles. Epithelia are highly organized but complex structures, subserving numerous functions, including immunological defence. The use of pharmacological tools in these systems is increasing, which is improving our understanding of epithelial immunobiology. This volume adopts a step-by-step approach, whereby each chapter builds upon the previous one, progressively adding important foundation information, culminating in a series of chapters concerning particular epithelia, including respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal and ocular. The result is a comprehensive but integrated treatise of epithelial function and its immunopharmacology, which aims to serve as an appropriate starting point at which the clinical pulmonologist and the research scientist can obtain an appreciation of some aspects of epithelial immunopharmacology as they are currently understood.

Covering the essential basic science and principles of pharmacology using concise text and diagrams, Dale’s Pharmacology Condensed, 3rd Edition, presents the key facts and concepts that are key to understanding how drugs work and their underlying pathophysiological processes. Each of the 50 short chapters provides an organized, consistent approach to efficient learning and retention of complex information. This concise text is an ideal companion volume to Rang and Dale’s Pharmacology, as well as a stand-alone condensed textbook or review book for exams. All content has been thoroughly revised and updated, with new coverage of fast-moving therapeutic areas such as cancer treatments, dermatology and immune mediated diseases, and new developments in pharmacological principles such as biased agonism. Each two-page (or less) chapter condenses key information from Rang and Dale’s Pharmacology to provide the necessary core knowledge, as well as essential therapeutic information. New editors are experienced teachers who provide a clear focus on what today’s students need to know. Ideal for exam preparation with explanatory diagrams throughout, important drugs identified with bold type, and 50 multiple choice questions for self-assessment and review.

Dale's Pharmacology Condensed E-Book

La obra se ha concebido en su origen como un “companion” de la obra de referencia “Ritter, Rang&Dale, Farmacología 9a ed aunque también puede ser utilizada como una obra totalmente independiente, ya que no se han incluido referencias cruzadas. La obra cuenta con su propio índice en el que a través de 36 capítulos presenta de una forma sucinta y organizada la cantidad justa de información necesaria para aquel estudiante que necesita superar la asignatura, sobre todo, en los casos en que ésta haya perdido peso o créditos en el modelo curricular Cada uno de los capítulos se inicia con un breve resumen en el que se ofrece un “contexto” para facilitar la comprensión por parte del estudiante de la temática que va a tratarse . A veces, incluso puede tratarse de una única frase a modo de introducción. Al ser un libro tan conciso, se hace un gran uso de tablas, esquemas explicativos, diagramas etc, ya que es una forma de condensar una gran cantidad de información ofreciendo además un abordaje visual (por lo general, más fácil de entender). Igualmente, se utilizan recuadros de texto separados del resto y de fondo verde para destacar la importancia o uso de un fármaco en el contexto clínico o aspectos farmacocinéticos o farmacodinámicos. La obra incluye acceso a SC.com en el que se incluye un banco de preguntas de autoevaluación asi como el e-book (contenido en inglés) Obra companion de la obra de referencia "Ritter, Rang &Dale, Farmacología 9a ed, aunque también puede ser utilizada de forma independiente, ya que no se han introducido referencias cruzadas Cuenta con un total de 36 capítulos muy concisos en los que se presentan un gran número de tablas, esquemas explicativos, diagramas con el fin de resumir al máximo la información esencial Destaca la correlación clínica a través de unos cuadros de texto separados del resto y con fondo de color Incluye acceso a SC.com en el que se incluye acceso a banco de preguntas MCQ (todo el contenido en inglés)

Celebrating 100 years of HEP, this volume will discuss key pharmacological discoveries and concepts of the past 100 years. These discoveries have dramatically changed the medical treatment paradigms of many diseases and these concepts have and will continue to shape discovery of new medicinies. Newly evolving technologies will similarly be discussed as they will shape the future of the pharmacology and, accordingly, medical therapy.

Airways inflammation is a complex biological phenomenon resulting from the recruitment and activation of numerous cell types. Airways inflammation contributes to the pathophysiology of airways disease. An understanding of the mechanisms that regulate inflammatory cell function is essential for the development of novel anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of common respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD. This book provides a collection of valuable reviews on the major inflammatory cells involved in airways disease and examines the pharmacology of current anti-inflammatory drugs used in the treatment of airways disease. Moreover, an insight into the development of emerging drug therapies is also highlighted. This book is a must for the library of any researcher or clinician interested in the pathophysiology of airways disease.

A rapid increase in our understanding of the biology of platelets and their role in disease in recent years has been paralleled by increasing successes with established platelet-modifying therapies in many clinical conditions. This text focuses on the clinical role of platelets in a wide variety of haematologic, cardiovascular and other disorders, providing a practical, clinically relevant handbook for all clinicians and researchers interested in platelets and their role in disease. Covering platelet physiology, bleeding disorders, thrombotic disorders and antithrombotic therapy. Chapters cover all the conventional and less conventional aspects of platelet involvement in disease, with an emphasis on recent clinical developments. Clear take home messages have been included in each chapter to aid clinical practice. With contributions from leading experts across three continents, Platelets in Hematologic and Cardiovascular Disorders is an up-to-date, well illustrated, practical resource for everyone involved in clinical practice with platelet disorders.

This book reviews current science and applications in fields including thrombosis and hemostasis, signal transduction, and non-thrombotic conditions such as inflammation, allergy and tumor metastasis. It is a detailed, up-to-date, highly referenced text for clinical scientists and physicians, including recent developments in this rapidly expanding field. More than a scientific resource, this is also an authoritative reference and guide to the diagnosis.

Respiratory diseases affect millions of people each year and represent a major health burden around the world. This timely reference surveys and evaluates the drug treatments available for the main categories of lung diseases including asthma, tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, and respiratory infections. The recent re-emergence of tuberculosis and the increase in asthma in certain populations underlines the importance of finding effective new treatments for these diseases. This publication, a comprehensive reference, is one of the first to survey current and novel drug treatments for this group of diseases. It is certain to establish itself as an essential source of reference for respiratory physicians, clinicians and clinical pharmacologists.
