Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia 2009 Deluxe Lab-Coat Pocket Edition, 10th Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Tarascon is a wonderful resource for anyone working regularly with medications.This particular publication, however, had a maddeningly small typeface -- one I haven't seen in many years of earlier year editions.I am planning to return it to get the regular version with a more legible typeface.

Mosby's Nursing Drug Cards Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Extremely helpful for nursing students in clinicals.I found every card I needed.There are summary cards for pharmaceutical groups too e.g. antihypertensives.They will be useful for studying for the NCLEX too! The only thing I would change is the weight of the cards. They are thin and it would be more protective if they were made on a heavier stock.

The Pharmacology of Chinese Herbs, Second Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a Ph.D. student in biochemistry I have sought out critical references that would be accurate and legitimate treatises on the biochemistry and pharmacology of herbs. If one is truly interested in understanding thebiochemistry and pharmacology of Chinese herbs, then this is the referenceto purchase.Very intelligently presented in a concise scientific journalformat, presenting critical and relevant studies on the herbs as they arecurrently understood with many references to the original research papers. I would certainly purchase other titles similar to this if their coverageof other herbs (e.g. South American, Ayurvedic) were as comprehensive,relevant, and credible as this one.Not for the herbologist interested ina hokey metaphysical distortion of truth.Ideal for the intelligent and/oreducated layman that really wants to know what compounds are present invarious Chinese herbs and what their activities are.
Pitfalls: Somelistings are very brief (less than a page)For instance the discussionof Centella asiatica is only 1/2 page and listed under antipyretic herbsand makes no mention of nootropic effects if they, in fact, exist-Nobody'sperfect.

Product Description:
Records cataloging the healing powers of natural substances - plants, minerals, and animal byproducts - date back more than 4,000 years. There is no denying the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine, yet - until recently - the roots of this knowledge were largely lost in superstition and folklore. However, the use of herbs as an alternative medical treatment for many illnesses has increased steadily over the last decade, particularly since such herbs are categorized as "Natural Food Products" and are not yet subject to strict control by the FDA. Reports published in 1996 indicate that more than 10% of the US population has used herbal remedies.This book does not debate the value of Eastern or Western medicine but brings together Chinese herbal lore and Western scientific methods in a current, comprehensive treatise on the pharmacology of Chinese herbs. This second edition of The Pharmacology of Chinese Herbs presents the chemical composition, pharmacological action, toxicity, and therapeutic value of 473 herbs.The book:oClassifies herbs according to their therapeutic valueoInforms how active ingredients in herbs may adversely interact with other herbs or drugsoEvaluates which herbs have the potential for more investigation and possible use as drugsoDescribes the pharmacological action of each herb based on recent scientific study and describes each herb according to Chinese pharmacopoeia and folk medicineoProvides a review of Chinese medical historyoPresents information on how to use modern chemical techniques for enhancing or modifying herbal ingredients into better agents with more strength and activityWhat's New in the Second EditionDiscussions on:oHerbs and their specific effects on the immune systemoHerbs and fertility/infertilityoAnti-cancer herbsoAnti-HIV herbsoAnti-malarial herbsoGinseng and ginsenosidesoAnti-Alzheimer herbsoHerbs affecting the nervous system
