Download or read book Behavior Analysis and Substance Dependence written by Simone Martin Oliani and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the main theoretical and practical tools provided by behavior analysis to diagnose and treat substance use disorders. Based on the theoretical framework of radical behaviorism, first developed by B.F. Skinner, behavior analysis offers a distinctive biopsychosocial approach to substance use disorders by considering both the biogenetic and environmental influences on behaviors associated with substance use, enabling the development of more integrative and effective diagnostic, prevention, and treatment strategies at the individual and collective level. The volume is divided in three parts. Part one presents an introduction to core concepts in behavior analysis and related disciplines, such as behavioral pharmacology, and their specific applications in substance use disorders diagnostics and treatment. Part two shows how different types of behavioral-analytical clinical and social interventions can be applied in practice to treat substance use disorders, such as: Contingency Management Exposure Therapy Functional Analytical Psychotherapy (FAP) Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Therapy by Contingencies of Reinforcement (TCR) Motivational Interviewing Finally, part three covers special topics, such as the interfaces between neurosciences and behavior analysis on drug use and dependence, effects of substance use in romantic relationships and their relationship with violence against women. Behavior Analysis and Substance Dependence will be a valuable tool for clinical and health psychologists, as well as other health professionals and social workers dealing with substance use disorders, by presenting, in one single volume, an overview of the tools offered by behavior analysis to deal with this serious health issue.
Download or read book Medical Toxicology written by Pınar Erkekoglu and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-02-03 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical toxicology is a sub-branch of toxicology concerned with the diagnosis, management, and prevention of poisoning and other adverse effects of drugs, cosmetics, personal care products, occupational and environmental toxicants, and biological agents. Poisoning with drugs, herbs, venoms, and toxins is a significant global public health problem. Medical toxicologists are involved in the assessment and treatment of acute or chronic poisoning, substance abuse, adverse drug reactions, drug overdoses, envenomation, industrial accidents, and other chemical exposures. As such, there is a pressing need for safe and specific antidotes, as many antidotes currently in use have a relatively low margin of safety or therapeutic index. This book focuses on poisonings with drugs, venoms, toxins, interaction in clinics, antidotes, and forensics. It provides qualified scientific knowledge on different aspects of medical toxicology, drug and substance abuse, clinical interactions between drugs and herbs, antidotes, antidote networks, and forensic toxicology.

Download or read book Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems written by Nayan A. Gujarathi and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-02-06 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Topical and transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDs) have several advantages over traditional drug delivery methods, as they can be less invasive, more sanitary, more cost-effective, and may result in better patient compliance. TDDs play a significant role in therapeutics with a variety of preparations and approaches designed by expert formulation scientists. This volume integrates a wide variety of case studies, research, and theories to reveal their diversity and capture the novel approaches of transdermal and topical drug delivery employed by developers and content experts in the field. It provides an abundance of important information and state-of-the-art research on topical and transdermal drug delivery systems and addresses the basics of drug delivery systems, strategies to enhance permeation across membranes, and formulation and evaluation of diverse dosage forms. The volume presents an evaluation of the pros and cons of conventional drug delivery systems against TDDs and discusses the nuances of micro- and nano-systems in TDDs. The extraordinary packages of nano systems (vesicular systems, polymeric nanoparticles, nanoemulsion and dendrimers) are broadly discussed, and their applications are reviewed through a transdermal route. The book looks at TDDs and the main nanoparticles used in skin diseases and lesions of the aging, such as psoriasis, vitiligo, cancer, lesions of the aging and others. Chapters also discuss polymeric micelles in topical and transdermal delivery; microneedles; emulsion, nanoemulsion and microemulsion; TDDs in pulmonary drug delivery systems; nanoencapsulated nasal drug delivery systems; skin sensitivity and irritation testing for transposing transdermal drug delivery systems; and regulatory aspects of drug development for dermal products. Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems: Applications and Prospects will be a valuable resource for pharmaceutical scientists and researchers, industry professionals, and academicians and students of the pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences.

Download or read book Different Profiles Of Gestational Diabetes Identified In Public Maternities written by and published by eSciPub LLC. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vastness of knowledge in the world differs from the selection and organization of information, so that it can be used positively in society. Organizing relevant and pertinent information in the context of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, correlating tothe relevant aspects in the academic context, becomes the objective of this book, since, as researchers, we believe that knowledge is universal. We have the mission of seeking this knowledge and bringing it to the collective as a way to promote the common good through science.In addition, we have as our central focus the search and understanding about Diabetes Mellitus, especially in its subdivision gestational,evaluating its characteristics and how they affect the physiological and social performance of the individual with this pathological condition. The approach to the theme related to the MDG presents several situations that are closely related to the physiological condition of the individual with this disease who did not have an etiology characterized precisely or effectively cure. As organizers, we hope that the content addressed here can contribute to the understanding and development of new studies on the subject and that this can bring continuity of support in the paths of science, health and multidisciplinarity and integrality that the field of human health involves. We invite the reader to embark on this journey towards knowledge.
