This series of concise essays on Enteroceptors is designed to interest the gradu ate student and to stimulate research. Even before the advent of electrophysiological studies, classical physiological techniques had shown the essence of the role of many of the enteroceptors. Thus the monitoring influence of the cardiovascular mechanoreceptors on the heart and on the systemic vascular resistance, the role of the arterial chemoreceptors in hypoxia and the influence of the so-called Hering Breuer stretch receptors on breathing had all been documented. The pioneering work of ADRIAN, BRONK, ZOTTERMAN and others using electroneurographic methods gave a remarkable impetus to the study of the enteroceptors themselves. Nowhere is this better exemplificd than in the case of the afferent end organs of the heart, the respiratory tract and the abdominal and pelvic viscera. The remarkable development of our knowledge of the multiplicity of types of nerve endings from the thoracic and abdominal viscera acquired from electrophysiological studies has refocussed our attention on the histological details of the sites of such receptors. Once more research on the structural side has been accelerated by the question raised by evidence obtained from functional studies. This is well illustrated in the case of the carotid body, where the long cherished belief that the innervated epithelioid cells constitute the chemoreceptor complex is now under attack. The detailed consideration of the functional characteristics of each entero ceptor considered has not occupied our whole attention.
This is a clinical pharmacy textbook that applies pharmacology into practice using a holistic approach to the management, treatment and monitoring of various diseases. Pharmacy undergraduate teaching has been changing and evolving over the years to reflect the evolving role of the pharmacist. The undergraduate syllabus is moving more towards clinical pharmacy as the role of the pharmacist changes to more of a consultancy role involving patient care. This book has always aimed to address this change by applying pharmacology into clinical practice using a holistic approach. Taking common diseases by system, this book deals with the common therapeutic issues. Each section includes an outline/description of the disease, clinical features, pharmacology of therapeutics used to monitor the condition, treatment guidelines, interactions and counselling of the patient. Drug choice tables and interactions tables are included along with case studies, practice points and self-assessment questions.Following are the amendments for this new edition: all chapters are updated to include guidance; introduction chapter will be completely rewritten; it features major updates to responding to symptoms, lifestyle and adverse drug reaction chapters; it contains new chapters on Obesity and Parkinson's disease; more diagrams are added, including diagnostic flow charts/algorithms; and, it contains self assessment questions.
You Never Walk Alone takes you from my early years thru polio diagnosis at 16, 3 rehab centers to get personal/physical independence, a home of my own, a husband, a car accident caused by a drunk driver, loss of my personal/physical independence, dependence on my husband lots of volunteer work, a government job, a Mary Kay business, loss of a business, loss of my parents, a 40th anniversary trip in my H2 to NYC, loss of my husband to a 4 month cancer battle, finding personal care, court fight with my sister and my trust officer to keep my share of myinheritance, firing my trust officer and hiring a new one, and starting over at 70. It isn't easy, but it's do-able!
