Pharmacology is a rapidly progressing area of biomedical research, with new developments surfacing at regular intervals, constantly revolutionizing drug therapy for disease states. The interaction of this discipline with other biomedical sciences has opened up new vistas and opportunities in drug design and development. Basic and clinical concepts in the mechanism and use of drugs are carefully integrated into hypotheses, which are aimed at the maintenance of a critical balance between health and disease. Current Trends in Pharmacology is a comprehensive collection of topics highly significant in the current health scenario. The book comprises a combination of articles in clinical and experi...
This book entitled "Nitric Oxide: From Research to Therapeutics" includes the most recent information about the role of Nitric Oxide (NO) in physiology, pathophysiology and its translation to therapeutics. The Editors are vastly experienced in the field of NO research. The international panels of contributors to the various chapters of the book are all well-established researchers and health professionals who have worked in different areas of NO physiology and pathophysiology, and have made a considerable impact in the field. The book is a comprehensive collection of the most recent information on NO as a physiological regulator and its diverse potential as a therapeutic target for the treatment for a variety of disease states. This compilation is aimed at professionals and students from both academia and the industry in the areas of basic biomedical and clinical sciences.
This edition of Pharmacology has been thoroughly revised and updated to conform to the recommendations of the MCI regarding the teaching of pharmacology, and to include the latest developments in pharmacology and drug treatment modalities.

Herbal medicines are fast becoming the default choice for the treatment of diseases. Most research has focused on clinical and experimental medicine (safety, efficacy and mechanism of action) and regulatory issues, to the general neglect of public health dimensions. This book is an illustrative account of the usage of Ardisia humilis Vahl in the traditional medicinal system and its subsequent systematic validation and experimental standardization with special emphasis on its prospects in stabilizing hepatic manifestations. It covers basic aspects of the phytocomposition, pharmacopoeial standardization, and in vitro and in vivo studies aimed at the verification of its use in the traditional system of medicine. The work embedded in the book successfully upholds the folkloric claims of traditional practitioners in the treatment of jaundice. The book will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, students and others who are engaged in exploring and standardizing traditional medicines and herbal formulations.
