Free Download Handbook of Drug Interactions: A Clinical and Forensic Guide By Ashraf Mozayani, Lionel Raymon
2011 | 500 Pages | ISBN: 1617792217 | PDF | 6 MB
Adverse drug reactions and interactions are still a major headache for healthcare professionals around the world. The US Food and Drug Administration’s database recorded almost 300,000 serious adverse events in 2009 alone, of which 45,000 instances proved fatal. This updated new edition of the indispensable guide to drug interactions incorporates fresh research completed since the book’s original publication by Humana Press in 2004. Additions include a new section on pharmacogenomics, a rapidly growing field that explores the genetic basis for the variability of responses to drugs. This new material reviews important polymorphisms in drug metabolizing enzymes and applies the findings to forensic interpretation, using case studies involving opiates as exemplars.Existing chapters from the first edition have in most cases been updated and reworked to reflect new data or incorporate better tables and diagrams, as well as to include recent drugs and formulations. Recent references have been inserted too. The handbook features extra material on illicit drug use, with a new chapter tackling the subject that covers cocaine, amphetamines and cannabis, among others. The section on the central nervous system also deals with a number of drugs that are abused illicitly, such as benzodiazepines, opiates flunitrazepam and GHB, while so-called ‘social’ drugs such as alcohol and nicotine are still discussed in the book’s section on environmental and social pharmacology. Focusing as before on detailed explanation and incorporating both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic drug interactions, this book will continue to be a lodestar for health and forensic professionals as well as students.

Author: Ray Fysh
Narrator: Michael Chance

Shortlisted for the True Crime Awards Best New True Crime Author. The murder of Sarah Payne, Adam the Thames Torso, the London bombings, the Night Stalker and the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko . . . The solving of all these cases can be linked to one man: Ray Fysh, a beer-swigging Charlton Athletic fan from Woolwich, a natural raconteur, and also one of the finest forensic detectives the country has ever seen. Ray began work for the Met Police in the 1970s when forensic investigation was seen as little more than a geeky side show, only in existence to confirm or eliminate evidence. But by the mid ’90s Ray and his team had made huge progress in their field, contributing to the UK becoming a world-leading innovator in forensic techniques, with Ray himself being named as special advisor to the Forensic Science Service. As the SA, Ray worked alongside senior investigating officers from day one of a case, directing his team to identify forensic opportunities and harvest case-cracking clues. As Ray looks back over his career at the cases he worked on, the listener is given unparalleled insight into the highs and lows of an astonishing career, the historic classist snobbery of the Met, and the stunning realities of crime and forensics.
