Gives answers to the common and important questions consumers ask about drugs, such as: In what form is the drug available? What are the recommended doses for seniors? What should I do if I miss a dose? This title is intended for both seniors looking to have better control over their medications, as well as for professional caretakers.
The busy health care practitioner's first reference for timely, accurate, and relevant drug information. Alphabetically organized by generic name (with trade names cross-referenced) and presented in an at-a-glance drug chart format. All entries are reviewed by an editorial advisory board of academic and clinical authorities.
Neurosciences Research, Volume 3 covers research problems concerned with the central nervous system. The book discusses the transport processes at the brain cell; the life history of the microglial cell; and studies on the choroid plexus. The text also describes the role of the cerebral peduncle in movements, as well as the pathobiological aspects of the action of tetanal toxin in the nervous system and skeletal muscle. Neuroscientists, neurochemists, and neuropathologists will find book useful.
Neurosciences Research, Volume 5: Chemical Approaches to Brain Function is an eight-chapter text that discusses the advances in the techniques used to examine the development, control, and function of neurotransmitters in the central nervous system. The opening chapter deals with the use of organ culture to investigate the processes of axonal growth of adrenergic neurons, the control of synthesis of norepinephrine, and its release on new axonal sprouts. These topics are followed by a presentation of the development of adrenergic neurons in the central nervous system. The next three chapters consider the function of central adrenergic neurons; the use of 6-hydroxydopamine and catecholamine fluorescence; and the effects of L-dopa on protein synthesis. The discussion then shifts to the catecholamines in the central nervous system to aggressive behavior and the amino acids as neurotransmitters. The concluding chapter focuses on the cholinergic transmission in describing some neurophysiological and neurochemical correlates of behavior. Neuroscientists and neuroresearchers will find this book invaluable.

Neuroscience Research, Volume 4 covers papers on a varied group of studies, ranging from synaptic transmission and local anesthetic action to the immobility reflex ("animal hypnosis") and control of food intake. The book presents papers on the mechanisms of synaptic transmission; the acetylcholine system and neural development; and the site of action and active form of local anesthetics. The text also includes papers on biological rhythms and their control in neurobehavioral perspective; neurophysiologic studies of the immobility reflex ("animal hypnosis" and the hepatic receptors and the neurophysiological mechanisms controlling feeding behavior. Neuroscientists, physiologists, and psychiatrists will find the book useful.
