Pharmacology doesn't have to be hard! Here's why:

At Medical Creations, we are firm believers of the notion that the best way to learn a new topic is first to understand the fundamentals. Once you know the fundamentals, you will be able to understand the bigger picture. If you don't understand the bigger picture, forcing yourself to memorize any details becomes that much harder. Our Pharmacology book is meant to give you a good understanding of the topic before you can dive into the details with other, more extensive pharmacology books. The goal is to have you understand rather than memorize. It's a great alternative to the thicker and more expensive pharmacology books if you are studying for an exam and you just want a quick recap, or if you are just starting out and you want an overview.

The purpose of this pharmacology book is to serve as a reference manual and a comprehensive study guide for medical, nursing, and paramedic students. For easy understanding of this complex subject, the book has been divided into multiple units based on each body system. The addition of multiple-choice questions will make it easier for you to remember the information from previous chapters. The key therapeutic drug classes for each major system have been outlined in separate chapters. Bullet points and tables make the content easy to understand. Pharmacology is a constantly evolving field, and new drugs are being developed every day. The main aim of this book is to familiarize the reader with the different categories of drugs. The most commonly prescribed drugs are described here, but the book is by no means exhaustive and does not cover all the drugs available today. For detailed descriptions of the latest drugs on the market, and less commonly prescribed drugs, the reader is referred to one of the more exhaustive textbooks of pharmacology.

This book will help you:

• Have a clear understanding of pharmacology
• Learn about different groups of drugs, the pharmacokinetics, and the pharmacodynamics
• Find pharmacology much more bearable

Follicular lymphoma is one of the most common lymphomas. With the advent of new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, the management landscape of follicular lymphoma has dramatically changed, especially so in the past decade. In this book, together we will explore the subject of follicular lymphoma. This will help you understand the disease better. It is overwhelming to know that either you or your loved one has been diagnosed with follicular lymphoma and it may sound unrealistic that at this trying time you should pick up a book and understand the disease biology and management strategies but believe me, it is important. Today all of the decision making in medicine, especially in oncology, is shared decision making. What it means is that the team treating you is just one part of the decision making process, the other part is you and your family. An informed decision is a good decision and to make an informed decision, you must have reasonably enough knowledge of the subject.

The goal of this book is in no way to be an all encompassing, comprehensive reference for all of your questions; but to provide you all of the useful information, without unnecessarily burdening you with confusing facts and figures. I have constructed this book in an interactive format, i.e., questions and answers. Most of these question I have picked up by my daily encounters with patients and their families and some I have constructed myself to bridge the gaps between the topics. I hope you will find this book helpful. I wish you and your loved ones long, healthy and prosperous lives.

Cancer is a collection of related diseases where some cells start to divide rapidly and spread to other parts of the body. The treatment of cancer with one or more anti-cancer drugs is called chemotherapy. It is part of a standardized chemotherapy regimen. It may be given with the intent to cure cancer, or with the aim to prolong life or reduce symptoms. Traditional chemotherapeutic agents act by killing these cells. The dosage as well as the treatment plan of chemotherapy depends on various factors such as the type of cancer, the size and location of tumor, and age of the patient. This book presents the complex subject of chemotherapy in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. It outlines the processes and applications of chemotherapy in detail. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.

Modernizing Global Health Security to Prevent, Detect, and Respond explores--through thoughtful, thorough, and diverse scientific review and analyses--factors that have led to recent public health emergencies and offers a vision for a better protected global environment. The authors consider the history of global health security, governance, and legal structures with an eye toward novel approaches for the present and future. The book presents a vision for a more protected and safer global public health future (with the actions needed to achieve it) to prevent, detect, and respond to (re)emerging threats. Its aim is to chart a way forward with the understanding that future pandemics must and can be prevented. Major topics examined from a public health perspective include global health security; the growing concept of One Health; epidemic and pandemic prevention, detection, and response; reviews of past (e.g., Ebola, MERS-CoV, Zika, and COVID-19) public health emergencies of international concern; roles of information and communication technology; humanmade public health threats; and legal and ethical issues (e.g., viral sovereignty, trust, and transparency). Modernizing Global Health Security to Prevent, Detect, and Respond provides the academic substance and quality for researchers and practitioners to deeply understand the why of health emergencies, and most importantly--what we can and should do now to prepare.

Get this book now.

This book will provide you with some simple ideas that can easily be implemented to help you or those you care for. You may be reading this book to help yourself be compliant, or you may wish to help a loved one (spouse, child, parent, or grandparent) better comply with prescription instructions. This book will give you tips that you can use right away to become more compliant in taking medications. If you or someone you take care of or care for has trouble remembering to take scheduled closes of prescribed drugs, you or they are not alone. Taking drugs on a regularly scheduled basis is a difficult task. Many things occur in our lives that divert our attention to other pressing matters. In fact, 50 percent of us are noncompliant with prescription instructions at some point. It is so easy to be critical of ourselves or others that have trouble with taking medications as scheduled, but be gentle. Many times, the dose starting and frequency of administration of drugs can be confusing.This book is written to help you better understand the process of taking medications and to help you or someone you care for learn how to be compliant with drug regimens. It is sometimes difficult to be compliant with medications because you have so many other important things to deal with on a day-to-clay basis. However, medication compliance can save you time, money, and future health care problems. Health providers are critical of patients who do not comply with regimens. The words used to describe those of us who are struggling to take medications as prescribed include: -noncompliant-noncooperative-deviant-forgetful-non-adherent We all need to worry less about labeling patients and more about helping understand and solve the problem of medication noncompliance. I vividly recall asking a woman in her nineties about her drug taking and compliance behavior. I wanted to find out how and when she became noncompliant with her blood- pressure medication. I asked: When did you take your medications today, and did you for get to take some of the closes? Her reply was swift and insightful: Listen, how can you expect me to know about something I forgot to do in the first place? What a great answer this was-one that embarrassed me more than a little. The lesson learned was simple: rather than blaming them for not being compliant, learn to help patients learn how to help themselves become as compliant as they can be. Anything that we do to improve compliance will rarely be 100 per cent successful. However, most things that we do to become more compliant can improve our health. That is the goal of this book-how to help you and yours become healthier by making the medication taking easier and thus making it easier to be compliant with drug regimens.Within the chapters, key points summarize important factors to consider when you take or give medications. These points can pro vide immediate help to you and your loved ones as you try to comply with medication schedules. An appendix at the end of the book provides specific Web site and further drug-related information for seniors, drug-related information for parents and children, and a listing of numerous Web sites containing information about drugs for all age groups. The tips included in this book hopefully will provide you with some definite actions to take right away to improve your health. You are the most important person in the health care system, and you are the person this book is written for. Let us start today to be healthier by helping ourselves as much as we can with the drugs that we take.

In November of 2017, Cort Davies was given just three years to live. He was diagnosed with stage 4 malignant paraganglioma, one of the rarest forms of cancer on the planet. After seven surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy, and experimental drugs, he felt like he was at the end of the road but something changed him one night as he laid in a hospital bed.

He realized that his prognosis was simply a haunting opinion, and the true cause of his suffering was fear and the stress of the unknowns. Cort vowed to live from a place of love and to release fear, no matter the obstacle. He did so by incorporating new habits into his life that were completely life-changing, many of which he discussed in his October 2019 TedX Talk.

From these habits and Cort's experiences, hundreds of people started coming to him for advice on their own journey. He sensed something deeper was to be discovered and noticed a common thread amongst successful cancer thrivers.

He found that those who had incorporated a new mindset and practiced fulfilling and empowering daily Habits overcame the greatest odds. They often lived longer, made changes they had always been scared of, found spirituality, and ultimately aligned with whom they were meant to be.

Cort's mission is to now share the daily habits of these extraordinary humans, and teach the world how to make cancer suck a lot less.
