Recent Trends in Human and Animal Mycology
by Karuna Singh Neelabh SrivastavaFungal pathogens pose an on-going and serious threat for poikilotherms and homeotherms, and can cause a broad spectrum of diseases ranging from innocuous to life-threatening. In addition, long-term exposure to some mycotoxigenic moulds can lead to mycotoxicoses in human and animals. Given the expanding population of immune compromised hosts, the list of fungal opportunists grows longer every year. Moreover, antifungal resistance, drug-related toxicity and our limited arsenal of antifungals have exacerbated the situation. To address these problems, strategies such as the identification of novel targets, use of the structure-activity relationship in rational drug design, development of new formulations, modification of existing antifungals to combat resistance, and bioavailability enhancement are called for. For the reader’s convenience, this book has been divided into three sections. The first six chapters of Section I provide a timely review of mycoses, from endemic to cosmopolitan and from generalized to specific, while both chapters of Section II focus on risks associated with mycotoxins. In closing, the two chapters of Section III describe potential antifungal leads and drug candidates based on phytochemicals and coumarin scaffold.

Recepteerkunde
by Yvonne Bouwman-Boer Paul Le Brun Christien Oussoren Ria Tel Herman WoerdenbagRecepteerkunde is compleet vernieuwd en helemaal bij de tijd. Van een vraag van de arts tot quality by design, van mortier tot autoclaaf, van ingangs-tot eindcontrole, van recept tot productdossier, van apotheek tot thuiszorg, het komt allemaal aan de orde. Zowel voor de specialist als voor de generalist is Recepteerkunde onmisbaar. Voor de apotheek was de kleinschalige bereiding vanouds de core business, tot steeds meer apotheken de bereiding gingen uitbesteden. Het klassieke bereiden uit grondstoffen is een specialisme geworden. Maar elke apotheek heeft te maken met productzorg: beschikbaarheid. Bewaren en bewerken van handelspreparaten. Ook voor toediening gereed maken (VTGM) gebeurt in elke apotheek, elke dag, met toewijding en kennis van zaken. Recepteerkunde is een naslagwerk voor iedereen die betrokken is bij de bereiding en aflevering van geneesmiddelen: openbare apothekers, ziekenhuisapothekers, industrieapothekers en apothekersassistenten. Tevens is het een leerboek voor studenten farmacie. Wie zelf bereidt uit grondstoffen op kleine of grote schaal, of handelspreparaten aanpast, kan niet zonder Recepteerkunde, maar ook zij die bereidingen van anderen afleveren op preparaten voor toediening gereed maken, vinden er noodzakelijke informatie.

Receptor Binding (Neuromethods #4)
by Alan A. Boulton Glen B. Baker Pavel D. HrdinaNeuroscience in all of its many disciplines has been revolutionized by the development in recent years of an enormous and powerful array of new techniques and methodologies. In Neuromethods, Allan A. Boulton and Glen B. Baker have undertaken to organize for Humana Press a comprehensive, coherent program of volumes that will provide both the fundamental and the practical experimental knowledge neuroscientists need to work productively in any of the fields disciplines. Each volume is dedicated to a specific topic within a discipline that is treated in depth by active researchers - investigators who are themselves notably successful in applying the methodology and techniques described. Nearly every chapter will therefore contain an introduction to the techniques, detailed experimental protocols, applications of the techniques, variations of the techniques, and state-of-the-art literature citations.
Receptor Binding Radiotracers: Volume II (CRC Press Revivals)
by William C. EckelmanThis series of books on Radiotracers in Biology and Medicine is on the one hand an unbelievably expansive enterprise and on the other hand, a most noble one as well. Tools to probe biology have developed at an accelerating rate. Hevesy pioneered the application of radioisotopes to the study of chemical processes, and since that time radioisotopic methodology has probably contributed as much as any other methodology to the analysis of the fine structure of biologic systems. Radioisotopic methodologies represent powerful tools for the determination of virtually any process of biologic interest. It should not be surprising, therefore, that any effort to encompass all aspects of radiotracer methodology is both desirable in the extreme and doomed to at least some degree of inherent failure. The current series is assuredly a success relative to the breadth of topics which range from in depth treatise of fundamental science or abstract concepts to detailed and specific applications, such as those medicine or even to the extreme of the methodology for sacrifice of anaimals as part of a radiotracer distribution study.
Receptor Binding Radiotracers (Routledge Revivals #1)
by William C. EckelmanFirst Published in 1982, this book explores the role of receptor-binding radiotracers.

Receptor Binding Techniques
by Mary KeenThis cutting-edge collection of step-by-step experimental protocols demonstrates the power of radioligand binding for studying a wide variety of receptors. The methods can be applied to G protein-coupled receptors, receptors with integral ion channels, and sites other than receptors, such as guanine nucleotide binding proteins, enzymes, transporters, and mRNA. The individual protocols encompass many different preparations, ranging from solubilized receptors, through membrane preparations, intact cells, and autoradiography in tissue slices, to PET and SPECT analysis of binding in living human brain. Along with the detailed, easily reproducible instructions, the protocols also address the problems inherent in the basic binding technique, such as common experimental artifacts and the definition of receptor sites, as well as problems associated with the use of particular ligands and receptor preparations. Receptor Binding Techniques shows clearly how these methods can be adapted to many different applications and fully utilized in drug discovery programs.
