Download or read book Pharmacology in 7 Days for Medical Students written by Fazal-I-Akbar Danish and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pharmacological knowledge among medical students can have a very short 'half life': students often fail not because they have failed to study, but because they have been unable to retain key knowledge and reproduce it in an exam setting. This book takes an alternative route to the conventional approach of comprehensively exploring each individual drug and its features: not only can such an approach overwhelm and make knowledge retention difficult, but the current exam format makes questions structured in this way unlikely anyway. Instead of aiming to be completely comprehensive, it examines drugs systematically by classifications, mechanisms of action, therapeutic uses and side effects, enabling students to gain the distilled, functional grasp of pharmacology that their exams actually demand quickly and clearly.

Download or read book Pharmcards written by Eric C. Johannsen and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When we were studying for the USMLE Step I (the "Boards"), we found that there was no single adequate source for the relevant pharmacology. Many review books were too sparse and telegraphic and left many questions unanswered. On the other hand, major pharmacology texts were too verbose and detailed to use to study for the Boards. We therefore decided to assemble our own summaries of the important drugs. Our goal was to create a reference work that emphasized the "high-yield" facts but was also complete enough to provide a conceptual framework for learning rather than simple memorization. We opted for an index card format to allow for both an "active" style of flashcard studying and flexible organization. The widespread use of PharmCards since the first edition was published is gratifying and confirmed the need for such a study aid. In this fifth edition, we have redrawn the figures and added full color to enhance their readability. We have expanded the class cards to provide greater detail on drugs for diabetes, lipids, and hepatitis C. We have maintained the grouping of drug cards by category (e.g., adrenergic, cholinergic, and so on) and then by class (e.g., [a[pha]-agonists, [alpha]-antagonists, [beta]-agonists, and so on) as we have received positive feedback that this structure facilitates comparing and contrasting similar agents. Some drugs defy easy classification; in these cases, we have positioned them where we thought they would be most helpful for study. Also note that some diseases are treated with drugs that span drug categories (e.g., asthma and glaucoma). In these cases, we have listed on each card the name and class of the other relevant drugs to treat that disease"--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Pharmacology Review A Comprehensive Reference Guide for Medical Nursing and Paramedic Students written by S. Meloni and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-07 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 Go to the top-right of the page and click "Add to Cart"
